Mr Yong said: “Many consumers buy their meals from economy rice stalls, and it is common to hear complaints about the actual price of the meal after the consumer has selected the dishes.
“The dispute often centred on the ambiguity of the prices of the dishes on display. Having colour-coded labels will allow consumers to make informed choices and prevent any potential disputes over prices.”
He thanked Koufu for partnering with CASE on the initiative, and hopes it will “lay the groundwork” for all economy rice stalls in Singapore to do the same.
“It is important that we know clearly the price of what we are buying,” he added.
Ms Chua added: “This initiative will benefit both customers by making it easier to understand pricing and choices, and stall operators by promoting fair and clear pricing.”
