raw material cost, labor cost and rental cost are the three fastest growing items in the cost structure of catering enterprises. The survey found that about 81.7% of the catering enterprises surveyed think that the cost of raw materials has increased compared with that before the epidemic, and nearly 51% of the catering enterprises surveyed think that the cost of raw materials has risen sharply. I understand that you think it has risen. In fact, the impact of the epidemic on catering is inevitable. Affected by the epidemic, offline consumption of catering will inevitably be hit hard. Faced with great pressure and market changes, how should catering enterprises survive?

For the catering enterprises now, the real development direction is light industry, especially light industry with less scene constraints. For example, constrained by the catering industry, catering enterprises began to develop in the direction of diversification and integration. Northwest, Tongqinglou and other large-scale entry into assembled vegetable trucks, Xiaolongkan, Meizhou Dongpo and other enterprises began to promote the development of large-scale retail formats, all of which evolved from pure catering. Light industry and online have become the general trend of the whole catering industry.

Secondly, supply chain management will become another major direction of catering enterprises. Several outbreaks since 2121 have given catering enterprises another great inspiration. In a word, many enterprises were affected by the rising price of raw materials during the epidemic, especially this year's epidemic, and there were problems in the supply of raw materials. Many catering enterprises were forced to raise prices, which caused some consumers to be dissatisfied. Influenced by many factors, catering enterprises have embarked on the road of supply chain management. Building a supply chain system is actually a very common phenomenon in catering enterprises today. For example, many chain catering enterprises promote the control of the supply chain system by building a central kitchen. Catering enterprises are getting stronger and stronger. Starting to promote the development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain on a large scale, controlling the supply chain can make them better control their own raw material costs, and the impact of price fluctuations on raw material costs will further reduce their own business, which will be the goal of many catering enterprises.
