Cheezious has achieved a significant milestone in food safety and operational excellence, with 16 restaurant outlets in Lahore receiving the highest five-star rating under the Punjab Food Authority’s (PFA) Restaurant First Rating Program.
The achievement places Cheezious among the strongest-performing restaurant brands participating in the PFA’s rating initiative in Lahore. The program evaluates restaurants against food safety, hygiene and operational compliance standards through a structured assessment process.
The five-star recognition was formally inaugurated at Cheezious Pakistan by Assistant Director Punjab Food Authority, Khawaja Umair, in line with the vision of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif to ensure safe and quality food for consumers across the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry.
The initiative is being implemented under the guidance and instructions of Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Salma Butt and Director General Punjab Food Authority Raja Mansoor Ahmad, reflecting the Punjab Government’s focus on strengthening food safety standards across the food service sector.
“This achievement represents the discipline, ownership and consistency that our teams bring to food safety and operational standards every day,” said Mr. Imran Ijaz, CEO, Cheezious. “Having 16 of our outlets receive five-star ratings is a strong validation of the systems we have put in place and, more importantly, of the commitment of our people. Our focus now is to sustain and continuously improve these standards across every Cheezious location.”
The recognition reflects the coordinated efforts of Cheezious’ Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) and Operations teams, which work continuously to maintain food safety requirements, operational discipline and quality standards across the restaurant network.
For Cheezious, the five-star rating represents more than a regulatory recognition. It reinforces the company’s commitment to making food safety, hygiene and compliance an integral part of its everyday operations. The company remains focused on maintaining these standards consistently as it continues to expand its footprint across Pakistan.
