Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will recruit establishments to participate in the “2026 Management Innovation Food Service Support Program,” aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of food service businesses, until April 30.
This support program provides customized consulting to help food service establishments respond to changes in the industry environment—such as rising prices, reduced consumption, and economic slowdown—and to support efficient business management.
Up to 30 general restaurants and snack bars in need of management consulting will be selected as beneficiaries.
The city plans to prioritize support for establishments located in restaurant-specialized streets, those designated (or applying for designation) as food safety establishments with hygiene ratings, and those participating in safe restaurant practices.
Selected establishments will receive one-on-one customized consulting from professional firms in areas required by the business owner, among seven fields: food tech adoption, menu development, delivery services, hygiene and ingredient management, service, marketing, and labor and tax management.
Establishments wishing to apply may submit an application form and related documents through the environmental sanitation divisions of district offices or relevant associations (Korea Food Service Association, Korea Snack Food Service Association).
Detailed information is available on the Busan Metropolitan City website under Busan News (https://www.busan.go.kr/nbnews).
Jo Gyu-yul, Director General of the Citizen Health Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “This program is not limited to short-term support but aims to help food service establishments build sustainable competitiveness on their own,” adding, “We hope for strong interest and active participation from food service business owners.”
