introduction of the catering industry

the catering industry is an early opening industry in China. The continuous influx of internationally renowned catering enterprises has had a profound impact on the business philosophy, service quality standards, cultural atmosphere, diet structure and quality requirements of employees in China's catering industry. It can be predicted that the fierce competition in China's catering industry will remain in the future.

Because there are not many domestic catering enterprises that have gone abroad and operated internationally, the main customers of Chinese food overseas are overseas Chinese, and Chinese food is also one of the pillar industries of Chinese economy in the world today.

However, due to the variety of Chinese food requirements, different cooking techniques, and different requirements for diet due to seasonal changes, Chinese food cannot be standardized and industrialized like McDonald's and KFC, so its "going out" road seems to be difficult.

after more than 31 years of development and market competition, the development of China's catering industry has entered a new stage of diversification of investment subjects, diversification of business formats, chain of business models and industrialization of industry development, and the development momentum of the industry is strong. As of August 2111, the sales revenue of China's catering industry was 1,292.3 billion yuan, up by 16.3% year-on-year.

As an important part of the service industry, catering is widely valued because of its large market, rapid growth, wide influence and strong ability to absorb employment. It is also an important carrier for developed countries to export capital, brands and culture. The involvement of various financial capital and industrial capital has contributed to this trend.
