Recently, a news that "Haidilao installed cameras in private rooms" was hotly debated. According to reports, some customers said that cameras were installed in the private rooms of the well-known catering brand Haidilao Beijing, and no relevant tips such as "monitoring inside" were found.

netizens have different opinions about whether installing a camera will invade privacy. Haidilao customer service said that the private room belongs to the restaurant and is also a part of the public place, and the camera head is installed to record the situation.

In fact, not only Haidilao, but also a reporter visited and found that cameras were installed in the private rooms of many restaurants, which were done for management needs. For example, once something is lost, video surveillance can effectively find the corresponding clues. For example, when other disputes occur, on-site information can also be provided for backtracking.

for diners, I'm afraid there are complicated and diverse considerations for video installation. On the one hand, based on the protection of personal privacy, no one wants a pair of "eyes" in the private room to stare at themselves all the time, and they are more worried that some private information will be leaked. On the other hand, if the above problems occur, diners also hope to keep corresponding information and evidence through video surveillance for subsequent processing.

Installing cameras has become a means for businesses to "protect themselves"

With the emergence of some consumer disputes in recent years, many catering businesses have chosen to install cameras. Earlier, a survey said that among the 31 hot pot restaurants, 19 had cameras in private rooms; Among the 14 non-hot pot restaurants, there are also 2 private rooms equipped with cameras.

some people in the industry said that some bad customers "touched porcelain" in the catering industry, and the hot pot industry was the hardest hit. As early as 2118, a consumer claimed to have eaten sanitary napkins in Haidilao, Shenzhen. Finally, with the intervention of the police, the consumer claimed that he put them in himself.

in October of the same year, Guo put the mice prepared in advance into Haidilao hot pot, and then demanded RMB 5 million on the grounds of food safety. Later, Guo was found guilty of extortion.
