[HIGHLIGHTS] The store’s on-the-go cooking attracts fans of the “hotpot style” and “no need for pre-made dishes” becomes the restaurant’s new selling point

In recent years, prepared dishes have become one of the hottest trends in the catering industry. Restaurants that insist on freshly cooked dishes in stores have become popular, attracting a group of fans.

For chain restaurants with central kitchens, standardized production of pre-prepared dishes can save various costs such as labor and ingredients. Many fast-food restaurants that specialize in take-out are also keen to reduce costs and increase efficiency by purchasing pre- pre-made dishes. Chain catering brands such as Xibei and Meibei Dongpo took the lead in creating high-profile brands through central kitchens.
