Scenes from the previous exhibition

Background of the Event In recent years, the food service and hospitality industries have faced challenges such as: - Deepening labor shortages - Increased burden of preparation and plating - Response to inventory loss

Especially "Osechi & Odeurvre" during the year-end sales season, while an opportunity for sales, also involves significant operational burden and risks, requiring "fail-safe proposals."

Against this background, this exhibition focuses not only on "selling" but also on proposals that "work on-site and leave a profit."

Exhibition Concept ### (1) Osechi & Odeurvre Proposals As a core proposal directly linked to the year-end sales season, we propose "fail-safe" product designs, including: - Stable supply and loss reduction through frozen Osechi - Labor saving and efficiency through Odeurvre kits

The "Odeurvre kit" is a new initiative that allows for pre-consultation on customer-specific plates, plating, and pricing, and can be directly converted into a project.

### (2) Breakfast Buffet Proposals Based on the needs of accommodation facilities, we offer practical menu proposals centered on: - Labor saving - Utilization of local ingredients - Reduction of operational burden

### (3) OEM Proposals Looking ahead to product development tailored to each customer's needs, we will promote the concretization of OEM development starting from the exhibition.

Benefits for Visitors - Discover concrete menus and products that can be directly introduced. - Understand proposal methods that ensure success in the year-end sales season. - Directly connect on-site challenges to product commercialization. - Simultaneously grasp the latest industry trends and practical solutions.

Event Overview - Dates: Day 1: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 / Day 2: Wednesday, April 22, 2026 - Venue: GFC Corporation Fukuoka Sales Office (6-10-56 Tsukiguma, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City) - Participation Method: Pre-registration required
