95. Cooks at work, the 1970 s stimulated the company's rapid and significant development from 1960 onwards. Meeting international standards became expected both at the railway and on ships: the Vienna-Budapest route was launched. Domestic coach services also came under the authority of Catering Company. The company introduced a new service: prepacked cookies and sandwiches prepared at the company's kitchens and bakeries were made available for passengers, which became very popular. From 1960 on the company produced its own newspaper, which was available in the whole country and which carried news of achievements, novelties and changes in personnel. It made a stir in town when the first modern drinks machines and food vending machines were installed by the company in Budapest. They returned after twenty years of absence... Catering Company became completely independent of the railway on 1 January 1968.
