Zhou's views and investment suggestions
In 2021, there were 3.167 million registered catering enterprises and 885000 cancelled catering enterprises in China. The speed of entry and clearance reached a new high. We believe that the reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: 1) the entry barrier of the catering industry itself is low, and some catering enterprises may be too optimistic about the recovery speed of the epidemic and fail to grasp the rhythm of opening stores. 2) The online transformation of old stores is difficult, and the barriers of online Red stores are low and the scarcity is difficult to maintain.

On the whole, the registration growth rate of catering related enterprises has accelerated, and the development momentum of the catering industry has not decreased.
In today's industry where creativity is easy to be copied and passenger flow is easy to be diverted, it is particularly important to improve the long-term repurchase rate of customers and prolong the vitality of enterprises. We continue to be optimistic about the categories with addiction, high degree of standardization and strong social attributes, such as coffee, tavern, hot pot, etc; And platform catering enterprises with strong incubation ability of new brands, perfect supply chain and leading organization and management.
