LAHORE: The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) has launched a “Star Rating Programme” in accordance with the international standards to motivate and support the restaurant industry to provide good quality food and service to customers.

Director General Rafaqat Ali Nissoana said that this pilot project will help to determine the standards of the hotel and restaurants in Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi. This will create a competitive environment between the food businesses for better services. Each restaurant is marked with a star to show its ranking. This program will act as an evaluating/measuring tool to reward the food businesses.

PFA will also train their officers before introducing a rating system. These anonymous people will visit different restaurants as a visitor meanwhile stars will be provided by an independent monitoring mechanism.
