"Aunt Qian must be efficient and fresh, and our mission is to make every meal feel extremely fresh for customers."

Aunt Qian's "Nissin model" is mainly due to scientific inventory management and an efficient logistics network. Cheng Tanggen took the South China market as an example, "The supplier starts slaughtering pigs in the early morning, and after passing the quality control and inspection inspection, it is delivered to our store at about 5 o'clock, and the sales start at about 6:30 o'clock, and the delivery speed is very fast." ”
Qian Dama is a community store, with more than 2,000 stores in southern China, which is very dense, so it can reduce costs. "In the process of communicating with suppliers, we don't want products to take a long time in circulation, so we can reduce supplier costs and inventory costs." Cheng Tanggen said.
Judging by the properties of fresh products, it is non-standard, perishable or spoiled, and cannot be transported and stored for a long time. Cheng Tanggen emphasized that Aunt Qian knows that food safety is the lifeline of fresh food enterprises and the key to winning the trust of consumers.
A set of food safety control mechanisms has been formed
Cheng Tanggen said, "We worked with suppliers, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the local government to study the problem of pesticide residues in Guangzhou, spending a lot of manpower and material resources." For example, if in the process of doing pesticide residue research, there are occasional cases of unauthorized application of pesticides by workers who do not know the facts, we will re-invest in this project in order to pursue the accuracy of the test results. He said frankly that I have walked through many fruit and vegetable bases, and indeed found some food safety problems, and called on the government, industry and associations to work together to solve them.
As a professional chain brand of fresh food in the community, Qian Dama has formed a set of food safety control mechanisms since its establishment 12 years ago. Aunt Qian attaches great importance to food safety, we have many stores that are franchised, and each batch of purchases will be sampled. Cheng Tanggen explained that the regular inspection takes about 7 days, which is too long for vegetable products, so we can only judge the food safety problem through rapid testing, and if the test is positive, this batch of goods will be rejected.
It is reported that Aunt Qian has more than 200 quality control personnel, and each warehouse has a laboratory, which is a third-party company doing testing, and all sampling is blind sampling, which spends a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. In addition, we have spent a lot of energy working with many farms and farms to study how to reduce pesticide residues, drug residues, animal residues, etc.
On the supply chain side, Qian Dama has established long-term cooperative relationships with high-quality agricultural product suppliers, and we have established strict procurement and acceptance standards, in addition, Qian Dama also adopts advanced cold chain transportation technology to ensure that the end-to-end freshness and safety of ingredients meet the standards. As a member of the food company, Qian Dama will continue to uphold the mission of "making every meal fresh", continuously improve the level of food safety management, and contribute to providing consumers with safer, healthier and delicious food choices.
