with Volker Gläser, CEO Dish ️ From Venture to Core: How Dish Became Central to Metro’s Strategy Episode #46 - Beyond Core Podcast In this episode, we talk with Volker Gläser, CEO of Dish Digital Solutions, about how a digital startup inside a 60-year-old wholesale giant turned into a platform that's now at the heart of Metro's business. Dish started with a bold vision: help restaurants and hospitality businesses digitize their operations - not just for their own benefit, but to drive transformation at Metro itself. "Dish was set up as a toolbox to help our customers become more digital - because only if they succeed, Metro succeeds." Volker shares the full journey - from launching Dish as a separate legal entity to integrating it back into Metro as a core strategic asset. Along the way, Dish built one of the largest digital ecosystems for hospitality in Europe, now serving over 360,000 restaurants across 16 countries.
