However, GPC has reduced its rounds and visits to member restaurants in 2021 due to the revision of the Company's membership plan and the expansion of service contents, including business support, as the needs and issues of restaurants changed. Since then, the Company has been searching for new value to restaurants through GPC and considering the feasibility of business continuity, but as a result of considering the prospects for profits, the Company has decided to dissolve GPC.
