[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Ediya Coffee announced on the 11th that it has become the franchise with the most hygiene grade certified stores in the domestic franchise industry by obtaining food hygiene grades at 2,362 stores nationwide.

The Food Hygiene Grade System was introduced by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in May 2017. It evaluates the hygiene management level of general restaurants, snack bars, and bakeries nationwide, awarding three levels of grades?‘Excellent’, ‘Very Good’, and ‘Good’?only to outstanding establishments.

To strengthen hygiene management at its stores nationwide, Ediya Coffee has participated in the Food Hygiene Grade System since December 2019. As of last year, a total of 1,615 stores had obtained hygiene grade certification. This year, about 700 new stores acquired the hygiene grade, bringing the total number of stores with hygiene grades to 2,362 as of the end of last month.

To expand participation in the hygiene grade system among its franchise stores nationwide, Ediya Coffee has developed a ‘Hygiene Grade System Guidebook’, conducted supervisor training for the operations team, and provided on-site coaching for the hygiene grade system. Additionally, all stores undergo unified hygiene inspections twice a year, with improvement activities carried out based on the results. The company also publishes topic-specific manuals for hygiene management and sends monthly educational materials to all franchise stores.
