In recent years, community canteens serving residents have gradually appeared in many residential quarters. This kind of canteen is often small in size, but it is affordable and convenient to eat, which effectively solves the dining problem of nearby residents.

Affordability is an important feature of community canteens, which is determined by the nature of community canteens. What is a community canteen? "Compared with social catering, the service scenarios and operational logic of community canteens are completely different, and the most important thing is cost performance." From the site selection, it is located in or around the community, and the rental cost is much lower than that of most restaurants located in the business district; From the customer base, we are faced with the relatively fixed customer base of community residents who are "repeat customers"; From the positioning point of view, the taste is more homely, and the environment and service pay more attention to kindness and truth. Also known as "canteen", community canteens are also different from canteens of institutions, enterprises and institutions. Community canteens are open to the public. Although there are regular customers, they are not limited to this customer group. Some community canteens cover several surrounding communities, and some even become well-known "network celebrities" canteens. Compared with corporate canteens, the competition we face is more intense, and there are also operators such as "lovers' shops" and small restaurants in the community. Similarly, instead of daily cooking needs, community canteens have more social functions than takeout. "Neighbors next door, acquaintances in the community, colleagues in the company, and friends from three to five gather in the canteen to have a meal and chat, which can find the feeling that neighbors gathered in the yard to eat together in the past. Cost-effective, open to the outside world, social function in the community ... All kinds of advantages make the community canteen meet the dining needs of a considerable number of residents, occupy a place in a variety of catering methods, and take root in more and more communities.

Community Sashido, bearing great articles on people's livelihood, has great potential for future development. Experts believe that in the future, it is necessary not only for government departments to increase their support, but also for community canteens to operate more efficiently in a market-oriented way and do this livelihood work scientifically and steadily.
