"Supply chain is king" has become the consensus of the industry, and catering competition has entered a new stage

With the rise of the chain trend of Chinese catering brands, the food supply chain has gradually become the key

On September 5, Shuhai Supply Chain announced that it has completed a total of 800 million yuan of Series B financing, which is Shuhai's new round of financing

From Haidilao suppliers to the full service platform of the catering supply chain, how does Shuhai create its own supply chain advantages? What new opportunities has the restaurant chain brought to the food supply chain enterprises?

From Haidilao's exclusive supplier to the catering full service platform

According to public information, Shuhai's predecessor was a subsidiary of Haidilao's catering supply chain, which began to operate

With the development of the catering industry, based on the comprehensive consideration of time cost, capital cost and management cost, the cost of the self-built supply chain system of catering enterprises continues to rise

Based on the above problems, the choice of professional third-party supply chain services has become an important demand for catering enterprises, especially catering chain enterprises

After more than 10 years of development, Shuhai has grown into one of the outstanding domestic catering supply chain enterprises, and now has a modern cold chain logistics center, food factory, vegetable and fruit processing center and other bases throughout the country, in addition to meeting the supply chain needs of thousands of haidilao stores, it also serves more than 2,000 catering chain brands

Supply chain is king" has become the consensus of the catering industry, and various capabilities need to be continuously optimized

With the rise of the chain trend of Chinese catering brands, the food supply chain has gradually become the key

Mei Lin, a partner at Taihe Capital, proposed that in the process of social catering scale, it is inevitable that the standardization of the supply chain will be born, and the excellent supply chain capability has always been system engineering

According to the "2018 China Catering and Catering Supply Chain Investment and Financing Report" released by Tomato Capital in early 2019, since 2014, as of mid-November 2018, the investment and financing cases of catering supply chains and service providers accounted for 32%, far higher than the 20.

The pain points that need to be solved urgently in the food supply chain include the dispersion, mechanization and low degree of standardization of upstream sources; The midstream cold chain technology is insufficient, the chain is lengthy and the channel transportation cost is high; Downstream cuisines and products are complex, and it is difficult to standardize

The food supply chain itself is a cause that needs long-term development, and the capabilities of the whole link of the supply chain need to be continuously iterated and optimized
