gastronomy / restaurant
'die Gastronomie' and 'die Hotellerie' are both connected with working with guests. They are easily confused because hotels often also offer food and drinks. However, 'die Gastronomie' mainly refers to restaurants, cafés, bars, and serving guests. 'die Hotellerie' refers to hotels and other businesses where guests stay overnight. When it is about food and drink, 'Gastronomie' fits better. When it is about accommodation and hotel operations, 'Hotellerie' is more precise.
