Main Text (first 8000 characters):
GFC Corporation (Headquarters: Kasamatsu-cho, Hashima-gun, Gifu Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Koichi Nishimura), which plans, develops, and wholesales commercial processed foods, will hold a regional exhibition at its Fukuoka sales office, centered on "Osechi & Odeurvre proposals." This exhibition is designed not as a traditional "product display exhibition," but as a "participatory exhibition" that achieves problem-solving from user feedback to product commercialization. Its purpose is to collect on-site challenges from visitors and, in collaboration with manufacturers, concretize them into "actually usable products."
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)
