Group 1 - The core issue of招商 (franchise recruitment) often lies in unclear strategy, as demonstrated by a restaurant chain that spent 8 million on recruitment without a clear product positioning, leading to confusion among potential franchisees [3] - Successful招商 requires a systematic approach, including strategic brand and product positioning to create a sustainable cooperation model, shifting from passive waiting to active selection of partners [3] - The traditional model of "selling products for profit" has become ineffective post-pandemic; innovative models like "free mode + blockbuster strategy" can significantly enhance recruitment success, as seen in an education institution that achieved over 30 million in contract value from a single event [3] Group 2 - Effective招商会 (recruitment events) can be transformed into profit-generating machines through meticulous planning, as evidenced by a health company that achieved a 42% signing rate using a standardized process of data screening and private domain cultivation [4] - Successful招商 requires three levels of preparation: precise customer profiling to ensure quality invitations, compelling case data to build trust, and tiered policy designs to encourage on-site decision-making [4] - Building an ecosystem for招商 is crucial; a retail chain linked over 5,000 franchisees through a points management system and achieved a compound annual growth rate of 68% by creating standardized operations, digital management tools, and ongoing training mechanisms [4]

蜜雪冰城，开始卖早餐了。 本以为凭借雪王的"抠门美学"，这波操作能让大家痛哭流涕喊一声"义父救我"，万万没想到，第一批冲锋的勇士吃完却纷纷摇头。这回，雪王的马屁算是 拍到了马蹄子上—— 不仅没被夸，反而被狠狠嫌弃了。 说实话，这也怪不得大家挑剔。毕竟在雪王入局之前，手握9块9巨款的打工人，在早餐界那简直就是"渣男"心态，每天都活得像皇帝翻牌子： 今天宠幸麦当劳的吉士蛋，明天临幸肯德基的帕尼尼，后天还有瑞幸库迪为了抢夺咱们的芳心大打出手。 面对这群早就被宠坏了的"早餐贵族"，初来乍到的雪王，显然还是太年轻了。 连锁早餐，进入9块9「混战时代」？ 在见过蜜雪冰城早餐套餐之前，多数网友都觉得：雪王这步棋走得稳、准、狠，称得上当代商界诸葛亮。 海报里的蜜雪早餐，依旧保持性价比优势。 套餐内包含四款含乳饮品，搭配2块9的袋装面包，可以把早餐预算控制在7块9以内。 图源：小红书用户@小野君 但吃过蜜雪冰城早餐后，大众的期待开始飞速落空。 蜜雪早餐目前只在大连、西安、南宁、杭州四座城市做业务试点，根据第一批食客的反馈： 蜜雪早餐依然便宜，但选品缺乏诚意。 新出的4款饮品无法自定义甜度，每一份都是全甜。 图源：小红书用户@小 ...

Core Viewpoint - The new regulation on food safety responsibility in chain restaurants aims to address industry issues such as negligence in management and accountability, promoting a shift from scale-oriented growth to a balanced focus on safety and development [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Challenges - Recent issues in the chain restaurant sector include unsanitary kitchen conditions, the use of expired ingredients, and unlicensed staff, leading to a "scale versus safety" imbalance [1]. - The new regulation targets these pain points, aligning with the trend of increasing chain restaurant development [1]. Group 2: Responsibilities of Chain Brands - Chain brands are required to take full responsibility for management, ensuring that accountability is not vague [1]. - Companies must establish a comprehensive responsibility loop covering all processes, clarify legal responsibilities with franchisees regarding food safety, and implement strict entry and exit mechanisms [1]. - Standard execution across all locations is essential, achieved through centralized procurement of key ingredients, certification of critical positions, and regular safety training [1]. Group 3: Regulatory Approach - Regulatory bodies are tasked with precise oversight, categorizing responsibilities based on the scale of chain restaurants, with larger brands managed at the provincial level and smaller ones at the municipal level [2]. - To prevent regulatory disconnection, it is crucial to establish cross-regional information sharing and collaboration [2]. - Enforcement should balance guidance for first-time minor violations with strict penalties for repeat offenders [2]. Group 4: Consumer Engagement - The effectiveness of the new regulation will be measured by consumer satisfaction, necessitating the establishment of a food safety complaint handling mechanism by company headquarters [2]. - Companies should streamline the complaint process, clarify feedback timelines, and explore small rewards to encourage public oversight [2]. - The integration of "Internet + transparent kitchens" with public participation is encouraged to transform social oversight into an effective regulatory extension, fostering a collaborative environment for food safety [2].

Core Viewpoint - The public relations crisis surrounding Xibei has subsided, but consumer backlash against pre-made dishes continues, highlighting a divide in the restaurant industry between different types of dining establishments [1] Group 1: Industry Dynamics - The restaurant industry is experiencing a split, with brands like Laoxiangji and Dami Xiansheng being favored by workers despite their use of pre-made dishes, while others similar to Xibei are facing public scrutiny [1] - The "middle ground" in the restaurant sector is characterized by brands with moderate pricing and a specific number of outlets, typically around 500, such as Xibei (470+ stores, average spending of 98 yuan) and Xiaocaiyuan (700+ stores, average spending of 60 yuan) [3][4] - High-end dining establishments like Xinrongji, which focus on quality and exclusivity, contrast sharply with budget-friendly fast food chains like Laoxiangji, which prioritize standardization and rapid expansion [4][7] Group 2: Business Models - The operational model of budget restaurants relies on "standardized pre-made dishes and franchise expansion," allowing for rapid growth while minimizing cooking processes at the store level [5] - In contrast, high-end restaurants like Xinrongji operate on a "high average spending and non-standardized direct management" model, focusing on quality control and customer experience [7][9] - The "middle ground" restaurants attempt to balance the benefits of both models, leveraging standardized expansion while also enjoying higher profit margins associated with direct management [11] Group 3: Market Challenges - The restaurant industry has faced challenges in maintaining customer turnover rates, with many brands in the "middle ground" experiencing a disconnect between store expansion and operational efficiency [23] - The expansion strategy of these mid-tier restaurants, which often mirrors that of Haidilao, has encountered limitations in lower-tier cities where local brands dominate [25] - Despite attempts to increase average spending, many restaurants have seen a decline in customer spending, with brands like Tai Er experiencing a drop from 79 yuan to 70 yuan over four years [29][32]

今年港股看着挺热闹：IPO一个接一个，募资额冲上全球第一，好像遍地是黄金。 可你真往里走一圈就会发现，市场早就不是"雨露均沾"了，而是"有人吃肉，有人喝西北风"。 锣鼓喧天的背后，藏着不少冷得发抖的角落，今天周叔就带大家看清这盘棋。 大块头吃香，小个子挨饿 2025年港股确实打了一场翻身仗。 全年IPO募资预计超2700亿港元，比过去三年加起来还多，直接把纽约、伦敦甩在身后，六年之后再次 坐上全球头把交椅。 但这风光，几乎全靠"大块头"撑起来的。 宁德时代、恒瑞医药、纳芯微这些A股巨头纷纷来港二次上市，光这18家公司就拿走了近1400亿港元， 占了整个新股募资的一半以上。 再加上政策开绿灯——港交所5月推出"科企专线"，专门给硬科技和生物科技公司铺路，结果今年就有 14家还没盈利的生物科技公司成功挂牌，创了新高。 连咱们常喝的蜜雪冰城、古茗、沪上阿姨也挤进了港股队伍。 说白了，现在港交所最欢迎两类人：要么手握核心技术，要么能讲出消费爆款的故事。 周叔翻了翻数据发现，医疗保健成了今年上市最多的行业，紧跟着就是科技和新消费。 资本的眼睛很毒——只盯着有前景、有政策、有流量的地方下注。 热闹是他们的，散户两手空空 ...

要在疯狂的外卖大战中稳住阵脚不是一件容易的事情，百胜中国的定力多少来自于曾经吃过的亏。 掌管中国规模最大的连锁餐饮集团，百胜中国CEO屈翠容却说自己是个"安全感有点低的人"，所以她一直强调——"稳"。 要在疯狂的外卖大战中稳住阵脚不是一件容易的事情，百胜中国的定力多少来自于曾经吃过的亏——8年前的那次战况历历在目，参与补贴的必胜客获得 了阶段性的流量，却在之后不得不吞下销量下滑的苦果，"这是我们得到的教训"，屈翠容说，补贴总会过去，一定要算好账。 在她看来，经营就是数学问题：哪些订单补贴能赚钱，哪些卡在盈亏平衡点上，哪些肯定亏钱——这样的生意肯定不能做。她不喜欢烧钱，哪怕是新业务 ——可以前期投资一点，但不能忍受亏钱，比如肯悦，这个从肯德基内部孵化出来的咖啡业务，近一年内以几乎日均四店的闪电速度扩张，门店数量从 500家冲到1800家；如果使用咖啡月卡，一杯肯悦咖啡最低只要6元钱——这个价格恐怕会让那些在9.9元鏖战中苦苦硬撑的对手们捏了一把冷汗。 "（6元的价格）我们还真能赚到钱，放心。"屈翠容在接受《中国企业家》提问时表示。 包括肯德基、肯悦、肯律的"三合一"门店。 极致的成本控制，背后是百胜中国日积月累 ...
