Since the first call for applications in February this year, the city selected 22 dining establishments as the first Naju Bapsang Designated Restaurants through evaluation and review procedures.

Designated restaurants received the Naju Bapsang designation signboard, food culture improvement supplies, consulting for creating a clean dining culture, management mindset and service education, and SNS promotion support.

Additionally, this year, advisory meetings and expert opinions were used to improve evaluation criteria and methods to address procedural shortcomings in the Naju Bapsang designation process.

The city plans to hold an explanatory meeting for the recruitment of Naju Bapsang Designated Restaurants at 3 p.m. on the 23rd in the main auditorium of the Agricultural Technology Center.

Applicants for the Naju Bapsang Designated Restaurants must be general restaurants or snack bars that have been legally operating in Naju City for more than one year as of the announcement date (November 20) and serve meals.

Various factors such as taste, hygiene, service, and price will be comprehensively evaluated through a first disqualification check, scoring and deductions, a second on-site and consumer evaluation, and a third committee review to make the final selection.
