the core of the pre-cooked food industry: the central kitchen.
As we all know, China is a big foodie country, which is world-famous. But at the same time, the domestic catering industry is also quite scattered.
however, the development of any industry will usher in the stage of industrial revolution, and the catering industry is no exception. Today, let's talk about the central kitchen, the product of the catering industrialization revolution.
The so-called central kitchen is to use a huge operation room to purchase, wash, cut and cook vegetables in a unified way, and then process them into semi-finished products and deliver them to direct sales stores in various places by refrigerated trucks.
For example, babimantou (a steamed stuffed bun seller), which is famous all over the country, plays like this. Several large central kitchens in the country make it uniformly, and all stores can sell it under heating.
In recent years, the central kitchens in the catering industry have developed rapidly, and enterprises have laid out their own central kitchens, such as Xibei, Grandma's House, Haidilao, Kungfu and King Yonghe. Let's take a look at the picture, as shown in Figure 1.
as far as the whole prefabricated vegetable industry chain is concerned, the central kitchen is in the core position of connecting the preceding with the following; Above are raw materials, vegetables, meat, aquatic products and seafood, and below are consumers, catering companies and individuals.
years ago, there was a wave of speculation on prefabricated dishes, mainly about the expectation of Chinese New Year. Years later, this plate has also been adjusted a lot, and its popularity is not high at present.
At the same time, the prefabricated vegetable industry is still in the early stage of development, and it is hard to say what the future will be.
In short, although the industry has a good prospect, it will probably go out of big companies in the future, but whether it is these people or not, we have to wait and see.
