What’s Next for Restaurants Amid Rising Costs and Supply Uncertainty?
As the food service industry navigates rising costs and increasing supply uncertainty, a Cebu-born company is stepping in to help hotels and restaurants nationwide.
Global Pacific, one of the leading food service companies in the Philippines, is supporting operators through a more complex environment—where it is no longer just about price, but also about availability and consistency.
At WOFEX Visayas 2026 running from April 16-18, 2026 at the IEC Convention Center Cebu (IC3), the company returned to its roots with a clear message: in a volatile market, having the right partner—and the right choices—matters more than ever.
Balancing Cost, Quality, and Availability
With pressures mounting—from rising oil prices to tightening supply chains—restaurants are being forced to rethink sourcing and menu strategies.
Global Pacific’s strength lies in its multi-brand portfolio, allowing it to offer both premium products and high-quality, cost-efficient alternatives without compromising performance.
This flexibility enables operators to:
·Maintain menu quality
·Manage costs

A Showcase of Choice and Solutions
At WOFEX Visayas, Global Pacific presented a curated showcase of its portfolio—highlighting solutions designed to support a wide range of kitchen needs.
A key highlight was a live demonstration by celebrity chef and Sunny Farms’ culinary partner Chef Bruce Lim. A Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef who has worked with renowned chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Chef Bruce was also the host of Asian Food Channel shows such as The Boss and Tablescape, a former judge on AFC’s Next Celebrity Chef, and has served as Executive Chef for the Southeast Asian Games.
During his segment, he simulated a pop-up kitchen–style demo, showcasing the versatility, consistency, and efficiency of Sunny Farms products by demonstrating how a single base can be adapted into multiple dishes.
“Today’s chefs need ingredients that are affordable, consistent, and versatile—because that’s what helps kitchens simplify inventory, reduce waste, and control costs without compromising quality,” says Chef Bruce Lim.
