The city plans to comprehensively evaluate the taste of food, hygiene, environment, and service through a first document screening and a second on-site visit for the received businesses to select the restaurants.
Selected businesses will receive a designation certificate, restaurant signboard attachment, priority support for facility improvement fund loans from the Food Promotion Fund, and promotional benefits through the city website bulletin board.
Support measures such as benchmarking advanced excellent businesses through food culture activation consignment education, environment improvement, table setting photography, and hygiene supplies will also follow.
The results of the Jeongeup restaurant selection will be announced on the city website in April.
A city official said, “By selecting and fostering representative restaurants of Jeongeup, we will provide safe and delicious food to citizens and tourists,” adding, “It is expected to greatly help food tourism projects and regional economic revitalization.”
Meanwhile, the city has been discovering and selecting Jeongeup restaurants every three years since 2016.
