Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong A Decade of Continued Improvement

2012 marks the 10th year of Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong. I can hardly believe that a decade has passed since we produced our first professional trade-show for the food & beverage industry in Hong Kong. The industry has changed a great deal in this time and most of the changes have been for the better.

Celebration

Undoubtedly Hong Kong has improved its restaurants in this time and the quality of the food and the service in Hong Kong today has never been higher. In 2002 it was true to say that most of the best Restaurants in the city were inside 5 star hotels. Whilst Hong Kong’s best hotels still offer some fantastic dining options, the restaurant landscape has changed in that there are a wide range of the very best restaurants outside the major hotel groups. The arrival of the Hong Kong Michelin Guide in 2008 also served to highlight Hong Kong’s position as the culinary capital of Asia.

The phenomenon of social media has also had a marked effect on the restaurant community in Hong Kong with thousands of food bloggers posting pictures and comments about every aspect of their dining experiences, food, service and value for money. A recent survey in Hong Kong suggested that 8 out of 10 diners were more likely to visit a restaurant that other diners had recommended. Coupon buying websites and voucher schemes have also begun to have a major impact on how diners’ choose where to eat.

The past ten years has also seen a significant surge in the popularity of premium coffee products with both of the city’s major chain coffee shops now operating over 100 stores each as well as a thriving small independent coffee house industry. The local consumer is far more knowledgeable about coffee and the quality they expect than in the past. Wine consumption has also seen a steady increase in Hong Kong, with many government backed initiatives to encourage consumers to learn more and try new wines in the wake of the removal of import tariffs. Many restaurants are seeing average restaurant receipts rise as they are able to maximise profits from the beverage sector of their operations.

Of course there are always difficulties for restaurateurs: rising rents and staffing issues continue to top the list of challenges faced. Today’s rents are on average two and half times what they were in 2002 and continue to rise as landlords seek to push rates ever higher. The challenge of recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce in a highly competitive market is also a difficulty, added to which the government continues to push for greater legislation around issues like minimum wage and working hours. We have added our voice to the industry in calling upon the legislators to rethink this approach as we believe the ability to self regulate is one of Hong Kong’s core strengths.

The past ten years in Hong Kong has been quite a journey with a few bumps along the way, the effects of SARS in 2003 and the GFC in 2008 were difficulties faced by all of us. But through all of these good and bad times one thing that has remained constant has been the support from the industry for the show. It is a cliché to say that we could not have done this without your help but it is certainly true, so on behalf of Diversified and our R&B team, thank you for your support and we look forward to the next decade of bringing restaurant and bar suppliers and operators together to meet, learn and do business.

To Celebrate 10 great years Restaurant & Bar Hong Kong will put on the most spectacular show we have ever run with more international exhibitors than ever before, a 10th anniversary gala dinner, more features and competitions than ever before and most importantly more than 12,000 regional restaurant buyers.
