Restaurants going digital to stay afloat
China DailyA fast-food restaurant worker seals up a takeout order in Beijing in April. A staff member of a barbecue restaurant in Beijing's Chaoyang district told China Youth Daily that the restaurant hasn't received many orders since it launched a takeout service. To help F&B businesses through such difficulties, the China Hospitality Association hosted a summit and established a committee on the digital transformation of China's F&B industry in Beijing on June 10. "Digital technology is particularly important at a time when COVID-19 has accelerated the digitalization of the industry," Chen Xinhua, president of the China Hospitality Association, said at the summit. "The adoption of new-generation technologies, such as big data, cloud computing, the internet of things, blockchain and artificial intelligence, can gradually bring down the costs of transaction, production and organization for F&B businesses,"Chen noted.
