最近的"河南天团"，在港股要凑桌打麻将的势头挡不住。河北人杜中兵带着他在河南开的巴奴火锅，赴港IPO了。 大众对巴奴的认知，绕不开两层底色：一是"碰瓷海底捞式营销"。从"服务不是巴奴的特色，毛肚和菌汤才是"，到"服务不过度，样 样都讲究"，广告语直指海底捞过度服务，堪称阴阳大师附体。 二是"贵且翻车"。据红餐大数据，2024年火锅人均消费金额不到75元，而高举产品主义大旗，巴奴把人均消费抬到了142元，高出 了一倍，比海底捞的人均消费金额97.5元，还高出40多元。 但其高价故事屡遭打脸，在富硒土豆翻车事件后，更出圈的是杜中兵的"阶层火锅论"，称"月薪5000别吃火锅""火锅不是服务底层 人民"，曾引发舆论热议。 来源丨凤凰网财经《IPO观察哨》 核心提示： 1.巴奴火锅人均142元的消费，远超行业人均70多元的均值，比海底捞的人均消费金额97.5元，也高出了40多元，但"贵价"标签难 撑实际盈利能力。 2.巴奴门店两年大增67.4%，拉动收入增长，但却难掩单店效能滑坡的挑战。其单店日均客流量2024年下滑6.5%，同店销售额一 年下跌9.9%，一线城市门店销售额两年下滑25.5%，面临"以量补质"的增长陷阱 ...
