Movenpick's Name Stoy



 According to (www.moevenpick.com) website that their name story is "Grab something quickly, like a seagull on the wing, and then move on. The restaurant takes its name from the German word for seagull, Möwe, with the “w” graphically transformed into a “v” because it looks more like a bird on the fly." 

But what I learned from the professor who taught me a course in Hospitality is different. I learned that Ueli Prager the founder of Movenpick  used to sale some kinds of snacks and pastries at the beach using his small cart to move everyday in that time. At the end of everyday some sesame usually stay up the table and the birds around the beach come to eat it. However, Prager made his business's name which contents move and pick and expanded his business opening restaurant then he had opened the 1sthotel and now as we know Movenpick has chain of hotels around the world. Anyway, move is his mobile cart and pick is the sound of birds when they eat the sesame (pick). Consequently, the name became one word which is Movenpick
