Can't wait for Kaohsiung to strike it rich? Dabai Catering shuts down unexpectedly

By MOOK Scenic Spots Home / Compiled and reported by Wei Ke

In addition to offering an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a variety of dishes with a focus on fresh seafood, Dabai Grand Hotel also served as a venue for wedding banquets. Due to investment losses, the business faced the difficult situation of having to suspend operations. For meal vouchers already sold and wedding banquets already booked, Dabai will handle follow-up matters through coordination with the new investor.

The Dabai Catering Group operates a diverse range of businesses, including Dabai TOP Buffet, Chaofang Hong Kong-Style Dim Sum All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Dabai Xiyue Club, and Xinyihe New Cantonese Cuisine. Rapid expansion of its outlets has also been cited by outsiders as a major factor contributing to its cash flow problems.

Below is the announcement posted by Dabai Grand Hotel on Facebook:

Regarding meal vouchers, what we have discussed with the new investor is the continued use of the vouchers, which is something we hope to ensure the protection of consumer rights. If you wish to get a refund for your meal vouchers, the vouchers issued in recent years are covered by trust performance guarantees, so your rights will not be compromised. We will provide a mailing address, and once you send back your meal vouchers, you should be able to receive your refund by the following month. If your meal vouchers were purchased through a securities firm, you may also apply for a refund from the respective securities firms. However, we still kindly ask for your patience, hoping to complete the procedures with the new investor as soon as possible, reopen the business, and make your meal vouchers worth far more with better dishes and service.

As for banquet reservations, we will also work to reach a smooth transition with the new investor as soon as possible, ensuring your events go ahead without issue. We will contact the hosts of upcoming banquets to try to provide you with a solution. We understand the inconvenience caused and are willing to accept criticism. We’re sorry.
