The recently assembled Restaurants & Coffee Shops
committee of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has held its first
meeting.
The first meeting was used to make members aware of the committee’s framework and bylaw, as explained by a member of the Department of Legal
Affairs and Arbitration of the chamber. The Restaurants and Coffee Shops Committee is headed by Ahmed Alsaloom.
The committee spoke on its strategic plan for the future and
discussed several issues, such as eliminating the challenges many
restaurants and coffee shops face with regard to official procedures and
needlessly complex processes.
Finally, the committee proposed a comprehensive plan to the
Ministry of Industry Commerce and Tourism on how restaurants are classified and
what can be done to allow coffee shops to be franchised, promoting their growth.
