Abstract
In our work, we use system dynamics to investigate the influence of digital solutions aiming to enhance the regional food supply for the hospitality industry and communal catering. A systems thinking approach is applied to identify feedback structures and underlying interdependencies. Therefore, findings from literature and two model regions were collected. With the help of causal loop diagrams, the results get visualized. They indicate that digital solutions can help to overcome key obstacles in such systems, namely insufficient logistics solutions as well as a lack of communication and transparency.
