Hokkaido Nepal Business Group (HNBG) has come a long way since it first opened its “Bistarai Bistarai” restaurant in Sapporo, Hokkaido, back in 2005. Today, the group operates several Nepali chain restaurants throughout Hokkaido, and has ambitious plans to expand its operations in Nepal.
HNBG’s vision for the future is simple: to create a strong and vibrant network of Nepali restaurants throughout Nepal, each offering authentic and delicious Nepali cuisine. The group believes that by creating this network, they can help to promote Nepali culture and cuisine both at home and abroad, while also providing new job opportunities and supporting entrepreneurship.
To achieve this vision, HNBG is planning to open 100 “Bistarai Bistarai” outlets in prime locations throughout Nepal by 2024. This expansion will require significant investment and resources, but HNBG is confident that it can be achieved with the right support and partnerships.
One of the key challenges that HNBG will face in this expansion is maintaining the quality and authenticity of its Nepali cuisine. The group takes pride in serving dishes that are true to their Nepali roots, using fresh and high-quality ingredients to create delicious and healthy meals. As the group expands its operations, it will be important to ensure that this commitment to quality and authenticity is maintained.
Another challenge that HNBG will face is finding skilled individuals who can help to manage and operate the new outlets. The group’s mission is to create ownership opportunities for skilled individuals who return from abroad, but finding these individuals can be difficult. HNBG will need to invest in training and support to help individuals develop the skills they need to succeed as entrepreneurs.
