Closed stores, staff on standby, food sales … In this epidemic that swept China, the catering industry with a market size of more than four trillion was pressed the pause button, and everyone who was involved was anxious.

Jia Guolong, chairman of Xibei Catering, previously accepted When interviewing China Investment Network , the problem was more straightforward: 400 Xibei noodle village stores were basically closed and only part of the takeaway business was retained; it is estimated that revenue will be 700-800 million yuan in a month; in With few inputs, the salaries of more than 20,000 employees need to be paid as usual. “If the epidemic is not effectively controlled within a short period of time, the cash on Xibei’s account will not last for three months.”

Ali tries to solve this large-scale staff shutdown in a new way-sharing employees. On February 3rd, Hema said that it has joined forces with Beijing Xinzheng Yicheng Catering Co., Ltd.’s catering brand Yunhai Cuisine and youth restaurants to solve the current income problem of unemployed workers in the catering industry. Some of the latter’s employees will be located in Hema stores Participating in the work, a total of more than 400 people have been in place, and will pay the corresponding labor remuneration.

This move can reduce the operating costs of catering companies, and at the same time fill the current shortage of manpower in the fresh food supermarket industry. Apart from Yunhai cuisine and youth restaurants, Jia Guolong also revealed on February 3 that he participated in the online salon of CIC. At present, Xibei has more than 1,000 employees living in dormitories in Shanghai to support the work of Hema. Stand on their temporary jobs.

This is undoubtedly good news-cooperation between the two parties to solve problems is a kind of “line of help” for each other. So, besides sharing employees, what else can save the stalled restaurant industry? What kind of help and subsidies do people in the industry most desire?
