　　Zhang Yang, a post-90s girl, is a Beijing catering waiter.

Recently, online grocery shopping orders in Beijing have surged. She "temporarily crossed over" and became a sorter at the West Diaoyutai Station of Meituan Shopping.

　　Born in the catering industry, Zhang Yang is no stranger to fresh groceries.

After Meituan Maicai's emergency training, examination, nucleic acid and vaccine tests passed, Zhang Yang quickly started working.

At the West Diaoyutai site of Meituan Maicai, the supervisor provided Zhang Yang with a "one-page standard operating procedure" for him to review at any time, and took her to quickly familiarize himself with the working environment.

　　As soon as I started working, I encountered a peak in the order volume.

Under the leadership of the supervisor, Zhang Yang got up before 7:00 every morning and started sorting. The sorting peak came around 8:00 am, and sometimes he was busy until nearly 23:00 in the evening.

In only about 3 days, Zhang Yang has already approached the normal production capacity of Meituan grocery sorters.

Now, she alone can sort nearly 1,500 items a day.

　　Zhang Yang feels that sorters and waiters work "by analogy".

You have to run around in a space of hundreds of square meters, you have to have quick eyes and hands, and you have to face the anxious waiting of restaurant diners and online users.

　　Zhang Yang found that the peak of orders for large-scale vegetables and drinking water has passed.

Many people order grilled skewers, chicken wings, crayfish, and beer through Meituan Shopping, and they look like they are watching the World Cup at home.

As the weather in Beijing turns cold, many people buy beef balls, mutton rolls, and hot pot bottoms.

　　Crayfish, grilled skewers, and beef balls are stored in the frozen area of ​​the Meituan Maicai warehouse, where the temperature reaches minus 18 degrees.

Zhang Yang ran around in the freezer area, picking up the orders one by one.

Some people order a whole box.

Zhang Yang said that he didn't feel heavy when he carried it on his shoulders, he only felt that the burden was on his shoulders.

As a fan, she also pays attention to the latest news of the World Cup.

When I was a vegetable sorter in Meituan, I could earn 300 yuan a day during the peak period, and nearly 9,000 yuan a month, including food and lodging, which can not only "flexible employment" but also increase income.

　　Recently, the demand of Beijing consumers to purchase daily necessities online has increased significantly.

It is understood that the stock of fresh materials is sufficient, and the order volume has increased sharply.

For this reason, in addition to enabling the "contactless delivery" of automatic delivery vehicles, Meituan Maicai has also opened up "shared employees".

　　The person in charge of the Beijing human resources of Meituan Maicai said that at present, 200 catering employees in Beijing have "cross-border support" Meituan Maicai sorting, handling and other easy-to-use positions, covering Beijing's Daxing District, Chaoyang District, Shijingshan District, and Tongzhou District , Shunyi District and other Meituan grocery shopping sites.

Compared with temporary jobs in other channels, catering employees in Beijing are more likely to get started because of their professional background.

As of November 25, there are actually 150 people on duty, and the rest are undergoing emergency training and testing for vaccines and nucleic acids.

After passing the training, Meituan Maicai will provide catering employees in Beijing with a "one-page standard operating procedure", and the supervisor will lead them to quickly integrate into the job.

In terms of accommodation, catering, and employee vehicles, these employees are also provided with convenience.

　　"We will assign positions based on the personal strengths of the catering employees in Beijing, and we will assign positions based on their talents. Some people are familiar with aquatic products and have professional skills, so we let them handle fish, shrimp and crab for consumers," said the person in charge of Beijing human resources of Meituan Maicai.

　　In recent days, the number of orders at the Chaoyang District site of Meituan Grocery has surged, nearly doubling the daily amount.

In the face of the soaring demand for online grocery shopping, in addition to site sorters and delivery personnel who are all on duty, Meituan has urgently deployed cross-regional staff to support sorting, tallying, and delivery. The threshold of disinfecting and so on is not relaxed.

In Shunyi, Beijing, Meituan Maicai launched an automatic delivery vehicle to deliver fresh groceries to residents around the site in a "contactless delivery" method.

Take multiple measures to help Beijing citizens get online orders faster.
