N- 1 A-la-carte mode was first put forward by Wuhan Catering Management Association, with the aim of reducing the waste of citizens when dining. N- 1 A-la-carte mode means that when many people eat at the same time, they order one less dish first, and if it is not enough, they can order again to save money. For example, for a meal for ten people, you can order only nine people's dishes, and if it is not enough, you can have some more, in case you can't finish it.
1.N- 1 mode is suitable for multi-person dining and aims to reduce waste. The N- 1 ordering mode introduced by Wuhan Catering Association is highly feasible. Nowadays, many people order a lot of dishes when they come to a friend's house for dinner. After dinner, the restaurant can't get it back, which has caused great waste. Now with this model, catering service personnel will remind guests to order less one person's food when ordering, thus solving the problem of waste from the source.
Second, when there are few people, the N- 1 ordering mode is not applicable, but there is a half-dish ordering mode. Although the N- 1 model is practical, it is not suitable for all diners. Sometimes this model is not suitable when there are few people eating, but the catering association has put forward a model that you can order half a dish when there are few people eating. Sometimes when you go out to eat, there are few people, but if you want to eat more dishes, it will be wasted if you order more. Now this half-disc mode solves this problem.
Third, the ordering mode of N- 1 makes thrift ahead of face and promotes national virtues. Some people go out to eat with friends and feel that they have to order more dishes. The current N- 1 mode is to save face in advance, order less when ordering, and keep some for yourself without wasting anything. After the N- 1 ordering mode came out, it was recognized by many consumers and promoted the virtue of thrift.
