Nuggets of pre-made dishes need to find the right "opening method"

Wang Yun, Vice President of Beijing Cuisine Association

The normalization of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has changed people's way of life and gave birth to the "home economy"

Process complexity and variability are difficulties in the production of prepared dishes

What is a pre-cooked dish? Prefabrication, that is, pre-organizing production at a specific site and location according to design, specifications and plans

The so-called prefabrication must be made in advance according to the production process, and the difficulty lies in the "specific scientific production process"

There are "four major cuisines" in Chinese cuisine, but not all dishes can be prepared in advance

Multiple factors push "pre-made dishes" into the fast lane

In the past two years, the catering service industry has experienced repeated ups and downs.

Corresponding to the "labor shortage" is the "house economy"

The construction of the central kitchen is accelerated

The popularity of prepared dishes also has its own factors in the catering industry

The central kitchen is the abbreviation of the catering production and distribution center

Do not substitute capital for product quality

Many businesses label pre-made dishes as no-washing, no-cutting, and no-cooking.

Can the production technology of prepared dishes meet the expectations of "cooking whites"? Even newly made lunch boxes will be annoying for a few years, not to mention pre-made dishes that require cold chain, reheating, and reprocessing

As far as the development of prefabricated vegetables is concerned, the author suggests that, first of all, the investment should not be too blind.
