Since the COVID-19 outbreak, many small to large Food and Beverage outlets in Hong Kong have experienced a significant downturn in business, with some temporarily closing due to the lack of customers, and others shutting down for good. In order to keep their footing, businesses must redefine themselves as brands that customers can trust.
Hong Kong-based built-in blockchain system Laclary invited global-leading total quality-assurance provider Intertek and Japan-engineered Hybrid Photocatalyst coating and treatment service Lohaslore to partner in its ‘Hygiene Care for Diners’ program. The program keeps up with Laclary’s business objective of ‘better business for public good’, bridging businesses and consumers, and playing an essential role in the revolution towards greater trust in consumer confidence and purchasing. The program was founded by serial entrepreneur Ms. Anina Ho, recipient of the ‘CEO of the Year 2015’ award by CEO Magazine, who personally handpicked 50 dedicated restaurants to jumpstart the project.
