Group 2: Business Model and Revenue Structure - In 2024, the revenue from Green Tea's takeout business increased to 18.8%, a year-on-year growth of 39.8%, but this shift negatively impacted dine-in table turnover rates [3]. - The takeout orders have lower gross margins compared to dine-in, and the company faces higher platform commissions and delivery costs, which may undermine the brand's experiential advantage in the long term [3]. - The introduction of new menu items has contributed less than 15% to sales, and there have been quality concerns regarding the use of pre-prepared dishes, which have affected consumer trust [3].
