The RBHK 2024 was successfully concluded! Let's Look Back at the Highlight Together!

The RBHK 2024 was successfully concluded last week! It was a 3-day event (3-5 September) held at the Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) which gathered quality exhibitors from around the world, showcasing global ingredients, local cuisines and the latest Food & Beverage (F&B) technologies, aiming to provide visitors with an exceptional procurement experience. Unlike previous arrangement with the theme "Bar • Restaurant", this year's RBHK has redefined its branding to "Bar • Restaurant • Café" in response to the local coffee culture craze, introducing a dedicated café area for the first time to attract more coffee enthusiasts.

This year, RBHK continued to promote green dining, environmental conservation and food safety by hosting a series of related events such as food safety forums and seminars about organic. The events invited experts from various fields of the F&B industry to share insights related to environmental conservation, sustainable development and food safety. In addition to engaging in in-depth discussions on various topics, the experts also offered suggestions, directions and solutions for future development. They also introduced how technologies can change people's lifestyles and dining habits to mitigate food waste, fostering a brighter and greener future together.

Apart from seminars, RBHK also prepared an array of exciting activities, including wine tasting and food pairing, cocktail demonstrations by world-class bartenders, the "Best of the Best MasterChef" competition and the Best Bar Awards. These activities allowed visitors to broaden their culinary horizons and experience the charm of Hong Kong's diverse food culture!

This year, FlexSystem showcased our unique F&B system ecosystem and innovative functions under the theme "Where Innovation is Brewing". Our cloud solutions cater comprehensively to the needs of clients of various businesses and sizes, covering aspects from F&B procurement and inventory management, human resources management to accounting. By offering our clients greater system flexibility and scalability, FlexSystem reduces both investment costs and internal technical resources on digital transformation. This allows our clients to choose the appropriate modules based on their actual operational needs and even connect to third-party systems, enhancing overall management effectiveness and data analytical capabilities.

During the Expo, we showcased the latest features of BridgeBuilder HRMS for the first time, including Recruitment, Self-Onboarding, e-Appraisal and e-Learning, covering all key areas of HR management. Furthermore, to enhance the system's data analytical capabilities, BridgeBuilder HRMS and FOODIVAL can assist clients in connecting to third-party analytics tools like Power BI, automatically synchronizing system data on a daily basis. This enables clients to conduct more in-depth data analysis in a multidimensional and interactive manner. Our new features have attracted numerous inquiries from visitors.

Furthermore, we were pleased to collaborate with Heung Kee Coffee to provide freshly brewed coffee to visitors at our booth. This arrangement attracted a large number of visitors who could enjoy a cup of refreshing coffee while engaging with our system experts to learn how the system can help them address their daily operational challenges. Many visitors even scheduled system consultations on the spot!

It is worth mentioning that FlexSystem also prepared new product brochures and souvenirs for the Expo, including portable luggage scales and luggage tags, which are particularly suitable for travel-loving Hong Kongers. The response from visitors was enthusiastic. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on promoting local digital transformation and provide more industry insights and exciting events for everyone!
