The government announced yesterday (23rd) that from December 9th, all premises regulated by the Epidemic Prevention Ordinance will be compulsory to use "Travel with Peace".
Huang Jielong, the president of the Rice Seedling Society, which represents the catering industry, said on a radio program this morning (24th) that the most affected are the more than 300 Class A restaurants that have never used "Travel with Peace". With the implementation of the relevant measures, I believe that the restaurants concerned will also be "upgraded" to Category B in the future. I also suggest that the government maintain the current exemption measures for children and the elderly. You just want to cause international jokes, it's not reasonable."
He also pointed out that the current "popularity of people" on the street and the transition to takeaway or failure to meet the needs of the public will also have an impact on business. I believe that only a small number of restaurants will switch to takeaway. He urged the government to introduce new measures and relax restaurants. Only business restrictions and four-person gathering restrictions can persuade the public to use "travel with peace of mind."

Huang Jianlong pointed out in the morning on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that every time the epidemic prevention measures are introduced, the business of the industry is bound to be affected. He described the industry as "passive" and can only follow the government's measures. More than 300 Class A restaurants that have not used "Travel with peace of mind" or registered customer information will learn to transform, reserve employees to implement "Travel with peace of mind", or train employees to "check seven at a glance" to verify whether diners have scanned, and The authenticity of the relevant information.
He said that it is impossible to grasp the sentiments of the people at this stage, and therefore it is difficult to assess the impact of the new measures on Category A restaurants. "Will it be like talking in the shop, at most buying multiple mobile phones, what kind of response? I can get it," but he emphasized, "It's not a new thing to travel with peace of mind. It takes more than a year to spend more than a year, and there are millions of people who need it."
As for whether Category A will be transformed into Category B restaurant, Huang Jielong said that there is no real difference between Category A and Category B. It is expected that many Category A restaurants will be "upgraded."
He continued to point out that the other three types of premises have been using "Travel with peace of mind" for more than a year. "They are all used tightly. I can't see that the arrangements and manpower are new, but they need to be changed. It should not have a big impact, and it should not be technically difficult. ".

Category B can still be "filled with paper" instead of "travel with peace of mind". Huang Jielong admitted frankly that it has been upgraded to a category C and D restaurant, but some areas must be designated as zone B to facilitate customers who do not want to use "travel with peace of mind." However, the related phenomenon will disappear in the future, because there is no difference between the B and C categories. "If you are promoted to C, there is no value. Then keep the B area. Because in the past, you can fill in the paper conveniently for the guests. I'm not sure, I believe that if you divide it into Zone B, it will disappear."
When asked that some restaurants indicated that they would do more takeaways, Huang Jielong believed that the last time the demand for takeaways rose sharply because the epidemic was very severe and the public was worried about being infected. Evening dine-in was also banned. "But 𠵱 The crowds of people are actually safe. This tightening is purely technically done for customs clearance." Therefore, whether to switch to the takeaway business or not depends on the choice of the diners. But I believe this will affect the business of some restaurants. "For some restaurants, the consumption of dine-in is several times different from the consumption of take-out. To make up for the income, I don't think most restaurants will switch to take-out."

Regarding that the government has not yet disclosed the group exemption measures, Huang Jielong believes that the new measures will not take effect until two weeks later. I believe the government hopes to communicate with the industry again. It is expected that the Food and Environmental Hygiene Bureau and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department will meet again with the catering industry, and the industry will strive for it. Continuing the current exemption measures, including elderly people over 65 years old and children under 16 years old can be replaced by "paper-filled paper pads", emphasizing that "the government is not stupid, and they are all operating and patience. The family goes out and takes one or two people. You have to travel with peace of mind when you are young, you just want to cause international jokes. It's not reasonable."
He also described that after the government has fully enforced the use of "travel with peace of mind", it is "reasonable" to relax business conditions. "(Category B restaurants) has the door closed at 10 o'clock? There is one reason, it's not because the virus will stop work. "I don’t want to spread as soon as the night falls. It’s because I want to curb consumption. Every consumer vouchers are distributed twice. There will be no need to curb consumption." Measures, such as installing partitions and vaccinations, urge the government to consider using lenient epidemic prevention restrictions, or even a four-person gathering order, to persuade the public to use "travel with peace of mind."
