With the continuous development of scientific and technological productivity, we have unconsciously entered the era of 5G or artificial intelligence. Big names from all walks of life also began to think about how to stand on the cusp of artificial intelligence. The Internet of Everything has become the general trend.
Today I want to talk about how the logistics distribution and catering industry has changed under artificial intelligence.
First, the status quo and thinking of the catering industry
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, these industries are just needed, and everyone can't do without it. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "food is the most important thing for the people". The "delicious" nature in China people's bones will not be defeated by economic recession or any force, and "eating" is a necessity among necessities.
Second, AI+ distribution = core competitiveness of distribution enterprises
In the field of artificial intelligence, China's contribution in this field has attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, artificial intelligence has rapidly penetrated into all walks of life, and the black technology in the catering industry has emerged one after another. From the first robot restaurant in China to the artificial intelligence ordering service, the shadow of artificial intelligence can be seen in every subdivision. It can be seen that artificial intelligence is rapidly reconstructing the catering industry.
According to the data of Hungry (Ali) and Meituan, by 20 18, the order volume in the first three quarters exceeded1500 million. Based on this average calculation, the total order volume of instant delivery in 20 18 is expected to reach about 20 billion, which is equivalent to about 40% of the annual express order volume. Compared with the two, this growth rate is amazing!
So under the pressure of more and more orders, how to improve the logistics operation efficiency of take-away orders? Which mode to choose to allocate orders? How to allocate the order to the most suitable rider? What kind of delivery route is the most suitable? ..... This series of problems is the core competitiveness of express delivery enterprises. Behind this is actually the competition of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence technology has many successful applications in Meituan and Hungry. With the help of big data and artificial intelligence, an efficient, intelligent and dynamic collaborative optimization local intelligent logistics platform can significantly improve the efficiency of local and city logistics distribution, continuously improve the distribution experience and reduce the distribution cost.
Third, AI+ catering = core competitiveness of catering enterprises
1, saving personnel costs and improving product standardization.
The emergence of smart restaurants has given the catering industry a new trend. The intelligentization of intelligent restaurants makes some of its functions replace labor, which not only saves labor costs, but also makes food production more standardized and refined. For example, cooking robots, chefs mostly control the taste through their own "feelings", while cooking robots can easily achieve standardized taste unification.
2. Improve work efficiency
Through the data provided by artificial intelligence, the consumer psychology and habits of users can be judged, so as to adjust the operation planning of restaurants. If artificial intelligence can be used properly, it can greatly improve the efficiency of catering enterprises.
Step 3 increase visibility
As a new thing, artificial intelligence can easily attract users' attention and enhance the popularity or brand awareness of restaurants in a short time. The essence of catering lies in the product itself, so the key to competition lies in the taste of dishes, dining environment and cost-effective pricing. There are many benefits of artificial intelligence in catering, so I won't talk about them one by one. So in a sense, the competitiveness of catering is also the competition of artificial intelligence.
Fourth, the case sharing of artificial intelligence in the catering industry
1, face recognition order
Based on Baidu's face recognition technology and massive database, the intelligent ordering system can judge the customer's age, mood, face value and other indicators by recognizing the customer's facial features, and then recommend personalized packages and complete payment and other consumption content. It is understood that when the user visits again, the camera system can display the previous meal records and can directly place an order again.
2. Automatic cooking machine
Automatic cooking machine is a modern technology product, a new generation of microcomputer-controlled intelligent cooking equipment, no smoke, no radiation, oil and electricity saving, can automatically stir fry. The cooking machine also has multi-functional automatic cooking machines such as automatic frying, frying and stewing, which are convenient and simple to operate, so that you can stay away from the harm of kitchen fumes with a single press, enjoy delicious food easily, and realize the automation and fun of the cooking process. According to different models, it can also be used in family, school canteen, enterprise canteen, army canteen and cooked food processing industry.
3, robot food delivery
In a restaurant in Cixi, Ningbo, robot food delivery and dancing for fun have become a reality, which was previously only seen in science fiction movies. The restaurant "Xiangmanxuan Restaurant" located in Liansheng Square in Cixi has just opened, and there are five robots in it: two delivering meals, which can report various dishes; Three little robots are dancing at the door.
4. Intelligent cooking machine
A machine can serve Chinese food, which really shocked me by technology; At present, smart catering is becoming a trend: unmanned noodle restaurants, unmanned restaurants and unmanned vending machines, and catering has become more fashionable and scientific.
At present, artificial intelligence technology is developing well, but in the catering industry, the development of artificial intelligence is still in the exploratory stage. However, based on the development of artificial intelligence and the landing of more applications, plus the reference of more cases, I believe that the intelligent transformation of the catering industry is not far away from us.
