Restaurant business is a
great employment generator. We came across this slide in one of a noted
conference on restaurants. The details astounded Customized Kitchen
India (CKI). At the same time, there were questions as well. After all
when somebody hears that the restaurant industry employs 1.5 times more
employee than the IT–BPO industry in India, it is bound to raise the
curiosity quotient. On the other hand, it is estimated that the
restaurant industry would indirectly employ 18 million by 2021, which
will be more than the population of Sri Lanka. Amazing!
Yet,
there is a sense of want for the recognition of the kitchen equipment
segment which contribute substantially to not only to the business of
restaurant industry but also help generate employment at a level that go
unnoticed.
There
are many domestic players in India like CKI who are making inroads in
providing quality commercial kitchen equipment for the hospitality
industry, hospitals, restaurant industrial canteens, corporate office cafeterias,
etc. They are also creating opportunities for unskilled labors who tend
to find employment in the warehouses and factories where kitchen
equipment are manufactured. In fact, they are given ample training to
help them sustain not only the job, but an assurance of livelihood and
better remuneration prospects.
Then
why do the commercial Kitchen equipment manufacturers are not recognized as
much as people who are running restaurants? We are yet to come across an
acceptable logical answer. However, of late, there has been a rise in
the number of exhibitions and awards that are recognizing our
contribution to the larger cause of not only many industries but also
toward our society.
CKI
is happy to note that it is recognized for its good deeds and the
progress it has achieved in this segment within a short span of three
years. We hope to continue doing good for the larger good of the
society. We even won an award! A recognition that we earned. Watch out
this space for more details on that.
