开业15天就倒闭！牛肉餐饮成“创业重灾区”

Core Viewpoint - The enthusiasm for beef-related startups has significantly cooled down, with several projects, particularly self-service beef rib restaurants, facing closures and challenges in sustaining operations [2][4][7]. Group 1: Market Trends - The self-service beef rib concept gained popularity in the second half of 2024, but many brands, including "Lin Zhenzhen Beef Ribs," have seen a drastic decline in store numbers from nearly 100 to 83 within months [4][6]. - The trend of self-service beef restaurants has shifted towards smaller cities, with many franchisees lured by low initial investment promises, often around 300,000 yuan [6][10]. - The beef price fluctuations have impacted profitability, with a notable increase in beef prices starting in early 2025, reversing the previous trend of declining prices [13][14]. Group 2: Business Challenges - Many beef-related startups, including fresh-cut beef hot pot and quick-service beef noodle shops, have faced closures due to rising costs and declining customer traffic [7][9]. - The initial appeal of high customer turnover and low-cost offerings has diminished, leading to a significant drop in revenue and profitability for many operators [10][16]. - The reliance on low-cost beef as a value proposition has proven unsustainable, as rising prices have forced brands to either compromise on quality or increase prices, both of which have led to reduced customer interest [15][16]. Group 3: Consumer Behavior - Consumers are increasingly making dining decisions based on overall experience rather than just price, which has affected the performance of brands that previously thrived on low-cost offerings [16][18]. - Social media has become a platform for sharing negative experiences related to self-service beef restaurants, further damaging brand reputation and customer loyalty [18].
