With the aging of society, more and more elderly people choose to eat in community canteens near their homes. Community canteens face many challenges in their operations, which not only affect the profitability of the canteen, but also affect the dining experience of the elderly. In response to these challenges, Xiongwei Technology has launched a smart quick cooking solution, which aims to optimize the operation of community canteens and improve service efficiency through technological innovation.
1. Challenge analysis
1. The dilemma of soaring costs: The price of ingredients fluctuates greatly, especially the high cost of high-quality ingredients, which makes the procurement cost continue to rise. With the increase of the minimum wage standard and the improvement of labor regulations, labor costs are also rising year by year. Operating costs such as water, electricity, and rent are also increasing with rising prices, putting heavy pressure on the operation of canteens.
2. The challenge of taste diversification: Older people have different taste, nutrition and health needs for food, and they crave a variety of meals that are nutritionally balanced. Some elderly people also have special dietary requirements, such as low salt, low fat, sugar-free, etc., requiring canteens to provide a variety of dishes while meeting these special needs.
3. Bottlenecks of manpower shortages: As labor costs rise, it becomes increasingly difficult to recruit experienced chefs. This has led to challenges in the construction of the canteen's team of chefs, affecting the quality and efficiency of the dishes. The high turnover of waiters and the high cost of recruitment and training also affect the quality of service in the canteen.
2. Xiongwei Technology's intelligent quick cooking solution
The intelligent quick cooking solution launched by Xiongwei Technology has brought revolutionary changes to the community canteen industry with its unique innovative technology and fully optimized operation strategy. Through innovative technologies such as standardized dish warehouses, intelligent quick cooking procedures, and standardized cooking processes, community canteens have been helped to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
1. Standardized Menu Library: There are more than 1,000 classic dishes, each of which has been carefully blended and strictly screened to ensure the stability of taste and quality. At the same time, each dish is marked with a detailed ratio of ingredients, seasonings and nutrients, so that the chef can easily make it according to the standard, which greatly improves the consistency and quality of the dish.
2. Intelligent quick cooking program: In order to meet the cooking needs of different dishes, combined with the intelligent cooking equipment of the universal steam oven, Xiongwei Technology has developed five types of intelligent quick cooking programs. These programs are carefully tuned and optimized to determine the optimal combination of temperature, humidity and duration for cooking food to ensure an efficient and precise cooking process. The kitchen only needs to select the corresponding cooking program on the equipment, and the combi steam oven can automatically complete the cooking process, which greatly improves the cooking efficiency and reduces the error of human operation.
3. Standardized cooking process: In the intelligent quick cooking solution, standardized cooking process is the key to improving cooking efficiency and dish quality. According to the standard operating process, the kitchen workers mix the compound seasoning and ingredients according to the standard ratio and put them into the smart device. Then, select the corresponding smart cooking program and the machine will complete the cooking process automatically. Cooks don't need to intervene too much, they only need to pay attention to the operating status and reminders of the equipment. This standardized cooking process not only reduces the requirements for kitchen skills, but also improves cooking efficiency and dish quality, making the operation of community canteens more efficient and convenient.
3. The value of smart quick cooking to community canteens
1. Labor saving: The intelligent quick cooking solution is no longer limited by the chef's skills, and the cooking process does not need to be manned, reducing the dependence on the chef. At the same time, the program can also provide a rich selection of dishes, in addition to traditional dishes, it can also process baking, skewers, roasted meat, baked rice and other categories to meet the diverse taste needs of the elderly.
2. Shrink space: The intelligent cooking equipment occupies a small area, and one device only needs 1.5 square meters to meet the dining needs of 200 people. The equipment can be mixed and loaded to cook multiple dishes at the same time, and with the high-performance heating system, the dining efficiency can be increased by 3 times, which greatly saves the kitchen space and saves the rent cost.
3. Reduce energy consumption: The smart quick cooking solution adopts advanced energy-saving technology, which reduces energy consumption by 18% and edible oil consumption by 55%. Compared with traditional commercial gas stoves, it can reduce carbon emissions by 42% per year, reducing the operating costs of canteens.
4. Zero accidents: The intelligent cooking equipment adopts a fully enclosed operation mode, with no open flame and less oil smoke, creating a clean and comfortable working environment for the kitchen. At the same time, the occurrence of safety accidents such as fires has been reduced, and the safety of the canteen has been improved.
