Future Directions

With the recovery of inbound and domestic travel demand, addressing labor shortages and creating a sustainable work environment in the capital’s hospitality sector has become increasingly vital. In workplaces where long periods of standing are customary, issues such as leg fatigue and back pain can lead to employee turnover, calling for urgent improvements in work conditions.

Through this exhibition, Alchelis hopes to promote awareness of its products and expand their adoption within the hospitality industry. The company aims not only to reduce workload but also to maintain beautiful postures, enhance service quality, and create environments where veteran staff can thrive long-term.

In pursuit of solving societal challenges surrounding standing work, Alchelis plans to extend its initiatives nationwide, contributing to the sustainable development of the service sector including the hospitality industry.
