German term

Gastgewerbe

German to English Bus/Financial Tourism & Travel
Im Deutschen ist damit nur die Hotel- und Restaurantindustrie, also das Gewerbe gemeint. In diesem Oesterreichischen Text steht es aber in einer Berufsanamnese: "Datum bis lfd. Gastgewerbe mit 5 Mitarbeitern" Kann sich das vielleicht auf eine Gaststätte beziehen?
Proposed translations (English)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Anamnese is usually used in a medical sense.

catering establishment

I think you got it right; I'd say the writer hasn't been as clear as WE might have liked, because the "Gewerbe" does usually mean the industry. But the fact that there are only five employees here makes it a virtual certainty that this is just one li'l ol' Gaststätte. I'm sure the Austrian catering industry has more than five employees...
Note from asker:
That was exactly the problem I had with the "industry". We shall hope it has more than 5 employees...Thanks David

catering business

Although I don't know what a Berufsanamnese is, this might be what is meant here.
Note from asker:
Berufsanamnese is used by doctors in their medical reports and means simply employment history

hospitality business

or hospitality trade for the industry itself....there are trade shows for the "hospitality market" and "hospitality associations" for companies of the trade....

I would think the term "catering" is too specific for what you are looking for. Maybe not so in the UK, but here in the US, "hospitality business" is the general term, which includes hotels and restaurants. I was a member of the SC Hospitality Association....
