The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (Minister Kim Hyeon-su, hereinafter the Ministry of Agriculture and Food) announced that it will resume eating out discount support for orders and payments through delivery apps from 10:00 on December 29 (Tuesday) in accordance with the Corona 19 conditions.
The food service discount support project, which was promoted as a third supplementary project to help the food service industry greatly contracted by Corona 19, began on August 14, but was stopped for the first time at 0 o’clock on August 16 due to the rapid increase in corona 19 confirmed cases. have.
Afterwards, it resumed on October 30 after consultation with the quarantine authorities in accordance with the improvement of the Corona 19 conditions, but since mid-November, the quarantine situation in the metropolitan area has deteriorated significantly, and it was stopped again on November 24 to refrain from visiting and eating out.
Before the suspension, a total of 3.44 million people applied and paid 3,447 million cases (over 20,000 won), of which 290,000 cases achieved the target performance (4 times), and 2.9 billion won was paid as refund or cash back through the card company in December.
While the outbreak of corona19 confirmed, triggered in the metropolitan area, has not subsided, sales in the food service sector have dropped sharply every week starting from the 2nd week of November, down to 42.7% compared to the previous year (December 3rd). .
Social distancing is applied according to the situation by local governments based on the 2.5 steps in the metropolitan area and 2 steps in the non-metropolitan area. From December 24th to January 3rd, “special measures for quarantine management during the year-end and New Year period” are being implemented nationwide.
Accordingly, there has been a growing need to promote meal discount support in a non-face-to-face manner in order to minimize the contraction of the domestic economy at the beginning of the year and to support the voluntary distancing of individuals.
In consideration of the situation in which the quarantine authorities actively recommend refraining from meetings in order to curb the spread of Corona 19, the restaurant discount support project will be resumed only in the non-face-to-face restaurant areas such as delivery and packaging.
Considering that a system for credit card companies to check and refund the performance of restaurant usage has already been established, and 3.24 million consumers have already applied and filled in the results, a method that allows credit card companies to check the performance of eating out in delivery apps was introduced. did.
In order to recruit delivery apps to participate in the event, the project operator, Korea Agricultural and Fishery Food Distribution Corporation (President Lee Byeong-ho, hereinafter’aT’) conducted public recruitment from December 3 to 16.
The requirements for many public and private delivery apps to participate in the event were also kept to a minimum, such as ▲providing a recognizable delivery app code for card companies, ▲a company that can differentiate between food delivery and product delivery, and ▲restrictions on raising fees during the event.

As a result of the application, a total of 11 delivery apps hoped to participate, of which 7 delivery apps will start at 10:00 on December 29th after the establishment of a system linking with the card company is completed, and the remaining 4 delivery apps will be completed with system maintenance. I plan to participate as soon as possible.
In addition, in order to help the quarantine situation with the active interest and participation of the people, the event originally held only on weekends will be expanded to weekdays.
There is concern that only non-face-to-face dining will resume due to the fact that delivery-out meals have increased due to Corona 19 and that the number of restaurants that can be delivered is limited.
However, as the Corona 19 situation continues, it is necessary to support many restaurants that introduce packaging and delivery business in order to preserve reduced sales, and it is inevitable to resume non-face-to-face dining because it is a socially important situation to minimize interpersonal contact. to be.
Restaurants that did not participate in this event will be consulted with the quarantine authorities so that they can quickly participate if the corona19 conditions improve, while the next year’s business (65 billion won) will be supplemented and promoted so that no restaurants are excluded from the catering discount support. It plans to help introduce a non-face-to-face sales method with consulting support.
First of all, the applications and card usage records that the people participated in the discount support for eating out before the suspension were reflected even after the resumption.
To participate in the event newly, first apply on the card company’s homepage and app, then check whether the delivery app you are using participates in the event, and place orders and payments at the delivery app with the applied card at least KRW 20,000 (based on the final payment amount). You must do it four times in order to receive a refund or a charge discount of 10,000 won from the credit card company next month.
Performance is recognized up to twice a day for each card company. The simple payment of the delivery app can be recognized as eating out only if it is linked to the application card. However, due to the limitations of the performance verification system, only ordering and paying for packaging and delivery through a delivery app is recognized.
After ordering and paying for the delivery app, you can visit the store to package, but face-to-face payment by the delivery person, and packaging after visiting the store and paying on-site are not accepted.
Check the payment performance, etc. through the credit card company, the delivery app use and order confirmation, etc., you should contact the delivery app, and detailed information about the event can be found on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
Food Industry Policy Officer Kim Jong-gu of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food said, “As the situation of Corona 19 is severe, we should use non-face-to-face eating out as much as possible during the year-end and New Year, with the recognition that all citizens are now at the forefront of quarantine.”
He added, “In order to actively induce compliance with quarantine regulations, we will resume business this time only for non-face-to-face dining, but if the Corona 19 conditions improve, we will quickly resume discount support for visiting dining out.”
