Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju 'Gwangsan Safe Restaurant Pledge Businesses' Recruited Year-Round

Providing Incentives Such as Safe Restaurant Sticker Attachment and Supplies

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is recruiting 'Gwangsan Safe Restaurants' pledge establishments year-round to improve the vulnerable dining culture against infectious diseases and establish a safe dining culture.

According to Gwangsan-gu on the 15th, the 'Gwangsan Safe Restaurant' system, which has been implemented since 2020, certifies restaurants so that residents can use them with confidence.

When a restaurant handling meals applies for certification, an on-site visit is conducted to evaluate five designated criteria: ▲ practicing serving food separately ▲ hygienic management of spoons and chopsticks ▲ all staff wearing masks ▲ provision of hand sanitizer ▲ daily disinfection and sterilization of the business premises. If suitable, it is designated as a Safe Restaurant.

Establishments designated as Safe Restaurants receive incentives such as the attachment of a Safe Restaurant sticker and support for items related to improving dining culture. Also, they are displayed as 'Safe Restaurant' in internet portal searches.

Applications can be made through the Gwangsan-gu Public Health Center website or by contacting the Food Hygiene Division's Food Hygiene Team.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “We will expand the budget support for Safe Restaurants in the future so that more establishments can participate in the Safe Restaurant pledge movement.”

Meanwhile, as of the end of last year, the total number of Safe Restaurants designated by Gwangsan-gu is 437. Gwangsan-gu inspects compliance with the Safe Restaurant pledge contents at least twice a year after designation.
