China News Service, April 1st. According to the news of the WeChat public account of the Russian satellite news agency, on March 27th local time, Russian Prime Minister Misukostin ordered all public catering companies to shut down until April 5th. Takeaway food delivery services can continue. .

Recently, Russian Satellite News Agency visited several Chinese restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Whether it is a large restaurant, a cafe, or a fast food restaurant, they have been affected by the epidemic to varying degrees, but they have also used their own methods to resist the epidemic. Impact.

The "Mi Di" restaurant in Moscow is a comprehensive catering company integrating cafes, restaurants and bars. There are three branches, one is located next to Moscow University and the other two are located near the People's Friendship University of Russia.

The main target customers of the restaurant are Chinese international students. Due to the reasonable price and good taste, they are popular with students. Under the situation that the new crown epidemic is getting more and more severe, the restaurant has suffered a lot. Zhang Shuo, the person in charge of the restaurant, told reporters that the passenger flow has decreased by 70% -80% within a week or two.

He said: "The situation in Moscow is particularly bad now. Because we are equivalent to going through two epidemic periods, one is the Chinese epidemic period and the other is the Russian epidemic period. Both of them have an impact on us. China has just begun the epidemic period. At that time, many students were trapped in China, and we had no customers. Now that Russia is controlling the epidemic, it is recommended that everyone try not to go out and everyone starts to stock up. There are many students who have not returned, maybe only 15% -20% International students are here. "

"Mi Di" restaurant originally had a take-out service, and now attaches more importance to this. In the coming week, you will only be able to maintain your business by delivering food. They make the food production process as transparent as possible, so that takeaway customers can rest assured.

Zhang Shuo said, "Every day we make a box lunch, we will record a video to let everyone see how this box lunch is made, and try to make the production process as transparent as possible. For example, we now sell quick-frozen dumplings and film the process of making dumplings. Let everyone rest assured. "

Under the epidemic, losses are inevitable. Zhang Shuo and his boss are already considering the future countermeasures-whether to continue or completely shut down, depending on future government policies and the development of the epidemic.

"Gokong Mala Tang" is a fast food restaurant. Because it is located near the embassy area and university dormitory area, it is also the first Mala Tang restaurant nearby.

Affected by the epidemic as well, the store ’s customer traffic has decreased significantly. Before the new policy was introduced, for safety reasons, boss Xu of "Goku Hot Spicy" began to discourage guests from reducing meals and increasing the proportion of take-out orders.

Takeaway orders for "Goku Mala Tang" have gradually increased, but on the premise that the restaurant business volume has shrunk sharply and the profit margin is not large, the overall situation is still not optimistic. Boss Xu said that in the past week or two, the number of customers has been decreasing, and now he has to suspend business for another week, which can't help worrying about the situation of the shop.

However, the Russian government's strict control measures against the new crown epidemic have remained relatively optimistic.

Mr. Xu said, "We are also more confident in the Russian government and think that there will not be too much situation. Now the Chinese embassy is doing a good job. There is also a large academic federation and the Russian Federation. They are also registered, Keep track of students and people outside. "

In St. Petersburg, there is a well-known chain hotel-Harbin Hotel, with a total of 5 chain stores, the main target customers are local Russians. The percentage of ordinary Russian guests can account for 60% -70%, and Chinese tourists and students also patronize.

Wang Xiaoxing, the hotel's senior manager, said: "After the outbreak of the domestic disease, Chinese tourists will no longer travel abroad. After the confirmed cases in Russia, local residents have also reduced the number of meals abroad, so it still has a relatively obvious impact. At present, Business is sustainable. "

Because the epidemic in St. Petersburg is relatively modest, and the number of confirmed patients is much less than in Moscow, the catering industry is currently suffering some shocks, but it is still able to survive. Wang Xiaoxing said that the passenger flow before March 28 was about one-third lower than usual. Nevertheless, Harbin Hotel almost reached the highest standards for restaurant disinfection measures.

Like Moscow's "Didi" and "Goku", Harbin Hotel has also expanded its food delivery business. They cooperated with the take-out platform to launch some preferential activities, posted the brochure of the take-out platform to the restaurant and the self-made leaflets in the restaurant, and used WeChat group and circle of friends to promote the food delivery service. They also plan to add more local takeaway platforms.
