Notes

  1. It's not entirely clear which restaurants are affected exactly; a statement from Vapiano Switzerland states that only the parent Vapiano SE Deutschland with its own restaurants in Germany is insolvent but the Swiss restaurants are an independent licensee company of the franchise and not affected ("Statement des unabhängigen und selbstständigen Familienunternehmens Vapiano Deutschschweiz, agierend als VAP AG, in Bezug auf die Insolvenz der Vapiano SE Deutschland"[IAWcite.todayMemWeb], Vapiano Schweiz on Facebook, 2020-03-20), but the status in all other countries is unclear, with some being operated by subsidiaries majority-owned by Vapiano SE.
