Core Viewpoint - The restaurant industry is experiencing a divide in strategies regarding dine-in and takeout services, with some brands prioritizing dine-in experiences while others aggressively expand their takeout operations [1][8][18]. Group 1: Dine-in vs. Takeout Strategies - Companies like Xiaocaiyuan and Weijia Liangpi are opting to limit their takeout services, with Xiaocaiyuan stating that takeout should not exceed 35% of their business, emphasizing the importance of dine-in for customer experience [1][3][12]. - Weijia Liangpi has completely exited the takeout market, citing high commission fees and negative impacts on food quality as primary reasons for their decision [4][11][10]. - In contrast, brands like Haidilao and Jiumaojiu are seeing significant growth in their takeout services, with Haidilao's takeout revenue reaching 928 million yuan in the first half of 2025, a 59.6% increase [7][18]. Group 2: Consumer Behavior and Market Trends - A significant portion of consumers (75%) prefer takeout due to lower prices, and 86% would choose takeout if it is cheaper than dine-in options, leading to a decline in dine-in traffic for many restaurants [8][18]. - The shift towards takeout has been particularly challenging for small and medium-sized restaurants, with reports of drastic reductions in customer traffic and revenue [8][10].
