Unpacking department store new food

        In the past two years, although many catering businesses have withdrawn from the market due to the impact of the epidemic, some have not only braved the storm of the epidemic, but even moved forward to department stores. This issue of "gourmet column" will take you to smell out the new catering trends from the newly launched restaurant of Far Eastern Department stores.

        There is a knack for survival

        ● taking into account the strong performance of takeout: if a well-known restaurant can match internal use and takeout service, it is definitely the cornerstone of both popularity and performance. Take the restaurant "Lefan fried chicken, roast meat, rice and noodles", which has been recognized by Michelin for four consecutive years, as an example. In the middle of 2022, the brand-new restaurant entered the Far Eastern Department stores in Banqiao. During the dining time, the restaurant was full. In the evening, residents and office workers in the vicinity were even more enthusiastic in purchasing takeaways.

        ● eye catching desserts are super fashionable: for the sweet ants, desserts are always full of charm, but if the shape is too single, it is easy to get tired of it. Only by innovating and creating new topics can we survive in the highly competitive dessert battlefield.

        ● new trend of cross-border mixed blood: different from the traditional exhibition store thinking, more and more restaurants are changing to cross-border dishes to gather customers. Take "Chuxu" on the 12th floor of Zhongshan, Banqiao as an example. The dishes range from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and other foreign cuisines, and appeal to let diners save for good food and enhance their strength. This kind of "mixed race" catering also helps group customers to travel together without having to shop at separate counters.
