  This epidemic came very suddenly. After the Beijing epidemic prevention and control level was lifted (downgraded to three levels) on June 6, with the introduction of Beijing consumer vouchers, it is a good thing for our catering industry. After lifting the ban (downgraded to three levels), the dine-in at our stores has basically returned to 90% of the pre-epidemic situation. With the outbreak of this outbreak again, the operation of our stores has basically dropped to a freezing point. From the current point of view, the operating flow of our stores should have fallen by more than two-thirds.

  [Commentary] It is reported that as of June 19, the company has completed the nucleic acid testing of all employees and strictly implemented the new requirements for epidemic prevention in Beijing.

  The first point is to require all employees of the group to complete the nucleic acid test within three days, so as to hold the certificate. As of now, more than 1,500 employees of the group have completed nucleic acid testing, and the test results are negative. The second requirement is that each store strictly implements "Beijing Catering Service Version 4.0". The third is to strictly implement our anti-killing work. At present, all stores have completed the anti-killing work.

  [Commentary] On June 22, when the reporter visited the restaurant, he saw that there was an "epidemic protection desk" at the door of the restaurant. Customers who came to the restaurant to wear a mask, after temperature measurement, health code display, information registration, and body disinfection, Guided to the designated position by the staff to take a seat. It is reported that during the epidemic, anti-epidemic measures such as "half reception for dine-in meals" and "public spoons and chopsticks" were also introduced in restaurants.

  The seat I am sitting on now is a four-person platform, usually four seats. Up to two people can sit now. The second is our tableware. When I saw the position I was sitting in, it was usually one set of tableware. Now we have two sets. That set is the public spoon chopsticks that we advocate. You see there is a brand on every table. The Civilized Dining Convention is to encourage customers to use public spoon chopsticks.

  [Commentary] According to reports, in order to avoid cross-infection of personnel, the restaurant is also equipped with a "robot dishman", and has set up a "takeaway table" to implement a "contactless" delivery dish throughout.

  This person next to me is our current robotic vegetable messenger. During the epidemic, our robots took the place of dine-in customers and our takeaway delivery. This is our take-out table, which is all of our take-out. The robot transfers the dishes to this location, and finally the rider takes it from here to the guests, in order to avoid cross-infection. All knights are not allowed to enter the store. We are waiting for our meal.
