A large number of Hong Kong people travel abroad and go north to spend money, which has made the local restaurant market slightly deserted. Although the Hong Kong government is also working hard to restore local consumption, promote the night market economy, or provide discounts to residents, many residents believe that the help is limited. Wong Ka-woo, president of the Hong Kong Catering Industry Association, also said earlier that Hong Kong’s catering industry is facing challenges such as high costs. Despite the introduction of discounts, it is still difficult to beat Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area in terms of cost performance. The industry is also worried about the economy and market conditions in 2024, but it is still trying to find ways to attract customers, including launching package discounts and cooperating with shopping malls to boost business. If the three major conditions, including the economic downturn, Hong Kong people traveling northward for consumption, and the arrival of foreign tourists to Hong Kong, fail to improve, we are worried that business will not be easy to do.
Facing the economic downturn, Hong Kong people are heading north for consumption, and the number of tourists arriving in Hong Kong is less than expected, which has severely affected the business of Hong Kong’s catering industry. Earlier, a netizen posted a post in the Facebook group “Shenzhen Mainland Food, Drink and Fun Exchange” and asked other netizens “What countermeasures should Hong Kong restaurants take?” As soon as the post was posted, it attracted a large number of netizens to discuss it. Many people thought that the best countermeasure was It means “reducing prices” and “cancelling the 10% extra service”. They also pointed out that eating out in Hong Kong is “uncomfortable to pay for it”. They all suggested that the local catering industry should learn how to treat guests from mainland restaurants. “The most important thing is to be kind and smile.” It doesn’t cost money to receive customers.” “The food and service are so good that so many people can go there.” “Hong Kong catering waiters are very uncomfortable, but the mainland waiters really have a service attitude. We are comparing money to eat, not comparing money. To get angry”.
However, there are also many netizens who believe that mainland food is cheap, good-quality and comes in a wide variety of styles, and is better than Hong Kong in terms of service attitude and taste. They all bluntly say that the local catering industry has “no hope of salvation”, “What are the discussions about the sky-high price food market?” Value?”, “As long as there is no plus one or tip, apart from closing the border, I really don’t know which genius can come up with countermeasures”, “Without countermeasures, they will not improve, just wait for speculation!”, “The prices are expensive, the portions are small, and the staff are rude! If we don’t improve on the above points, we will have repeat customers!”
