Self-service weighing and selection of dishes

At a chain of fast food restaurants in Mingfa Commercial Plaza, buffet dinner costs 3.28 yuan / tael and breakfast is 1.68 yuan / tael. At the plate table, the chef orders the prepared dishes one by one, customers choose their favorite dishes and place them on their own plates with a public spoon. At the checkout, the clerk places the plate on a scale to weigh it, then calculates the price based on the weight, and the customer pays the bill.

In a western restaurant on Tiyu Road, cut beef of different varieties and parts is placed in the counter freezer, and the price is marked on the label. “Customers can go here to choose what they want to eat, determine how much they need, and then weigh it to specific grams.” The manager, Mr. Chen, introduced that in addition to calculating in grams, the different types of meat in the store also have different calculations. The price is convenient for customers to choose the one they prefer.

Food waste from a bucket and a half to less than a bucket

“Since the key dishes were named, food waste has been reduced every day.” Ms Zheng, manager of the fast food chain, told reporters that customers take the dishes according to their actual gastronomic needs, reducing a lot. “I want to try more dishes but” I can’t finish it. “

“In the past, there was about a bucket and a half of kitchen waste every day, but now a bucket is not full every day.” Ms. Zheng said that the store currently has ten chain stores in the city, of which seven have changed from the previous way of ordering food. , Converted into a key dish, the rest of stores will also become this way one after another.

During the visit, most companies also said that this way of naming key dishes not only won praise from a large number of customers, but also significantly reduced dish waste.

Feedback

“Pay as much as you want” to save money

“I don’t eat much, but the steaks in a lot of western restaurants are so generous and I really can’t finish them.” Fan said that many girls are often unable to finish a normal portion of the plate due to maintaining their figure or their own food intake. But ordering meals according to the number of grams not only eliminates the problem of food waste, on the other hand, this form of “pay for what you take” also saves the cost of meals.

However, for the self-service plate weighing method in fast food chain restaurants, some customers have also submitted optimization suggestions, thinking that meat and vegetable dishes can be weighed separately. Citizen Mr. Huang said that if calculated by weight, some customers who prefer vegetables may be unfair. “Some vegetables are also very heavy. If the price is the same as the meat dishes, it will be too expensive for customers.”
