The support items include facility improvement costs for business environment enhancements such as outdoor signboard replacement, interior renovations, and safety system maintenance. 70% of the supply price is supported, with a maximum support amount of 2 million KRW.

Key supported items include kiosks, table orders, smart orders, and serving robots. This also supports up to 70% of the supply price per business (maximum 2 million KRW).
