The 26th branch has been further upgraded through customized consulting such as new menu development, customer service, and kitchen equipment improvement, provided by Hotel Shilla employees' talent donation. The food menu was upgraded with meat noodles and newly introduced pork soup rice. The restaurant interior was also significantly improved by expanding the narrow kitchen space and installing the latest kitchen equipment. In addition, pork belly and pork jowl were vacuum-aged for three days and marinated in a special sauce, and sauces to accompany the meat were also developed.

The facility interior features a unified kitchen space that was previously separated, simplifying movement flow. New kitchen equipment such as a rotary cauldron and drawer-type refrigerator were installed, and the layout of existing kitchen equipment was redesigned to suit one-person operation, enhancing work efficiency. Also, the restaurant hall space was changed from traditional floor seating tables to standing tables. The spacing between tables was adjusted, and all seats were replaced with smokeless tables.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the 'MatJeju' project is a win-win program jointly promoted by Hotel Shilla, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and local broadcasters to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju's food culture in tourism and support small business owners in making a fresh start. Hotel Shilla employees provide customized consulting on cooking methods and customer service to small-scale restaurant owners operating without separate chefs in Jeju Island, and completely replace kitchen facilities. A Hotel Shilla official stated, "We will continue to practice coexistence and sharing in the local community to revitalize Jeju tourism."
