The smart catering market size exceeds one trillion yuan: AI ordering system becomes a chain standard
In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the smart catering market has ushered in explosive growth. According to the latest data, the global smart catering market size has exceeded one trillion yuan in 2023, among which the AI ordering system has become the standard for chain catering companies, greatly improving operational efficiency and customer experience. This article will analyze the current situation and trends of the smart catering market based on hot topics in the past 10 days.
According to a report released by an authoritative organization, the average annual growth rate of the smart catering market in the past three years exceeded 30%, and the penetration rate of the AI ordering system has increased significantly. Here are the key recent data:
| index | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 (Forecast) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global smart catering market size (billion yuan) | 6500 | 8500 | 10500 |
| Penetration rate of AI ordering system (chain catering) | 35% | 52% | 68% |
| Average labor cost savings (single store/year) | 80,000 yuan | 120,000 yuan | 150,000 yuan |
From the data, it can be seen that the AI ordering system not only reduces labor costs, but also improves ordering efficiency, becoming the core tool for digital transformation of the catering industry.
The popularity of AI ordering systems is due to its many technical advantages:
1. Intelligent recommendation:Based on user historical orders and preferences, AI algorithms can accurately recommend dishes and increase customer unit price.
2. Unmanned operation:Supports various interaction methods such as speech recognition and image recognition to reduce manual intervention.
3. Data analysis:Real-time sales data can be counted to help merchants optimize the dish structure and inventory management.
4. Multilingual support:Suitable for multinational chain brands, solving language communication barriers.
Recently, many well-known restaurant chains have accelerated the layout of AI ordering systems. The following are some typical cases:
| brand | Application scenarios | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Underwater fishing | Intelligent voice order + robot delivery | Labor costs are reduced by 20%, and the turnover rate is increased by 15%. |
| KFC | AI self-service ordering machine | Average daily order volume in a single store increased by 30% |
| Starbucks | Mobile AI recommendation system | Member repurchase rate increased by 25% |
These cases show that AI ordering systems have become a key tool to enhance the competitiveness of catering companies.
Despite the rapid development of AI ordering systems, they still face the following challenges:
1. Data security:User privacy protection has become the focus of attention and technical protection is needed.
2. Technical adaptation:Due to funding restrictions, small and medium-sized catering companies find it difficult to quickly deploy AI systems.
3. User experience:Some elderly customers have low acceptance of new technologies and need to optimize interaction design.
Looking ahead, with the integration of 5G, the Internet of Things and other technologies, the smart catering market will develop in a more efficient and personalized direction, and the AI ordering system may become the "standard configuration" for all catering companies.
