The “Report on the Development of China's Catering Industry” was officially released. The “Report” is divided into four parts: general report, regional development section, business format development section, and special research section. The “Report” points out that in 2024, China's restaurant industry achieved a key breakthrough in the steady recovery of the macroeconomy, and its pivotal role in expanding domestic demand and promoting employment became more prominent. The industry is showing a new pattern of “west fast east and east” regional development, and consumption upgrading, digital intelligence, and internationalization transformation have become the core driving forces. At the same time, catering companies are facing multiple challenges such as high costs, increased competition, lagging digital transformation, and shortage of talents. The Regional Development section selected data on the operation of the catering industry in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Hong Kong, and Macau, objectively analyzed the operating characteristics of the catering industry in various regions, and put forward targeted development suggestions. All regions are driving the development of the local food and beverage market through measures such as hosting cultural tourism events and food festivals, promoting healthy eating, strengthening supply chain integration, and talent training. Catering companies around the world adopt a combination of online and offline sales models to adapt to market changes, introduce AI and digital operations, and improve service quality and efficiency.
