The second phase of the China National Convention Center project is an important hardware facility for the construction of the Capital International Exchange Center, and undertakes the mission of the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. The restaurant is located in the smart restaurant on the basement floor, with an area of about 3680 square meters, which can accommodate nearly 1,000 people at the same time, and will provide multinational and nutritious catering services for global media reporters during the game. The biggest feature of the restaurant is the use of more than ten fully independently developed automated, visual and efficient intelligent catering equipment, which reduces the cross-contact between people, reduces the probability of epidemic transmission and epidemic prevention costs, and can provide services for 24 hours in the context of epidemic prevention and control. Focusing on the requirements of "simple, safe and wonderful", the catering services of the Winter Olympics with the help of science and technology will be more intelligent, more efficient and safer.
24-hour smart catering, at any time to protect the media "arena"
Interior view of the smart restaurant
The smart restaurant adopts the operation mode of combining intelligent catering and traditional catering, and sets up a number of special dining areas such as stall area, Chinese food cloud rail experience area, bar area and so on. During the event, the restaurant will operate intelligently to ensure the "main arena" of media headquarters and media reporters at any time, and is expected to receive thousands of text and photojournalists from more than 100 countries and regions, and more than 10,000 broadcasters from more than 200 broadcasting agencies. The intelligent and automatic catering equipment in the restaurant has been widely used in diverse scenes such as scenic spots, exhibition halls and transportation hubs in 30 provinces and cities in China, and it is the first time that it has served important international sports events.
Smart restaurant trial operation scenario
During the Winter Olympics, in addition to the catering supply of the three meal periods in the morning, middle and evening, considering the characteristics of media personnel in different time zones, strong timeliness, many unexpected tasks, irregular dining time, etc., all equipment of the smart restaurant started 24-hour operation to ensure the automatic completion of the whole process of meal preparation and meal production, and arrange special service, so that busy media personnel can enjoy on-order, fresh-made warm and warm meals at any time.
Science and technology "intelligently manufactured" Chinese and foreign cuisine, enjoy the authentic Chinese taste
The traditional catering mode, because of the different chefs and different skills, is prone to problems such as unstable quality and large differences in taste. The "wisdom" of the smart restaurant lies in the innovative realization of software and hardware integration, man-machine integration, and better achieves the movement accuracy, operation stability and layout diversity in the process of automatic operation of catering equipment, which not only ensures rich production, stable quality, but also greatly improves the efficiency of meal supply.
From heating bread and freshly fried meatloaf to pairing with lettuce and sauce, the intelligent burger machine is independent of machinery and equipment, and the assembly line is completed, and the efficiency of the meal is as high as 20 seconds per piece. Cute shape of the intelligent rice cooker, the mechanical module methodically controls the precise heat of different stoves at the same time, and the operation links such as opening the lid, refueling, and filling are accurate, ensuring that each pot is an authentic pot of rice with a golden pot. The neatly arranged intelligent woks are "taught" by the world's famous chefs themselves, and the cooking process, dishes raw materials, stove actions, heat control, cooking process and other data input into the computer are repeatedly adjusted and tested, so as to perfectly reproduce the chef's level. It can not only stir-fry dozens of traditional Chinese dishes such as Kung Pao chicken and Dongpo meat, but also make pasta with italian meat sauce, Guangzhou fried rice and other staple foods.

On the transparent glass track visible in the restaurant's Chinese food area, the cloud rail trolley is always on standby and freely shuttles, which can realize the intelligent transmission of dishes in the air. The intelligent wok uploads the dishes to the cloud rail in the air, and the system intelligently dispatches the cloud rail trolley to meet the dishes, intelligently plans the optimal path, automatically delivers to the corresponding table, and then through the dish machine, let the food "fall from the sky". It not only effectively reduces the labor intensity of service personnel to pass dishes, but also improves the efficiency of dish transmission, dustproof and insulation, eliminates human contact, and provides a dining experience full of science and technology.
In order to meet the different eating habits of domestic and foreign media, the restaurant has carefully designed more than 100 dishes, dozens of cold meals, drinks and desserts, a total of more than 200 varieties, divided into 8 sets of menus for recycling. The dishes are mainly Chinese food, supplemented by Western food, which will allow guests from five continents to experience the authentic taste of China. During the Spring Festival, the restaurant's specially developed smart dumpling ravioli machine allows journalists from all over the world to fully appreciate the strong Chinese New Year flavor. The equipment integrates the traditional boiling process to achieve automatic feeding, fresh cooking of broth, and meals, and it takes only 10 minutes to make a dumpling and 6 minutes for a ravioli. Equipped with 6 cooking baskets work at the same time, it can produce about 60 meals per hour.
In addition to the smart "chef" who cooks the meal, there is also a cool smart bartender in the smart restaurant. With the help of a dexterous "arm" to take a cup, ice cup, set a cup, and like a bartender to complete the complex mixing, shaking and other actions, it can make a variety of colorful, unique flavor cocktails, will provide a relaxing and happy time for media reporters after busy time.

In March 2021, the smart restaurant project officially launched preparations. In May, Beijing Pinggu District started construction of a 4,500-square-meter central kitchen to provide catering supply chain guarantee for restaurants, and in August it was completed and obtained catering qualifications, establishing a whole-process system of intelligent catering supply such as food storage, standardized processing, real-time control, detection and traceability, and cold chain distribution. Suppliers of raw materials are selected from the list of qualified suppliers screened by the organizing committee of the event, strictly implement the acceptance of high-standard ingredients, comply with closed-loop management requirements, and implement a special car logistics system jointly composed of government quality supervision departments, central kitchens, and restaurants. During the event, the total supply of the central kitchen is expected to reach 180 tons, and the peak supply in a single day will reach 5 tons, which can ensure the meals of more than 6,000 people.
In order to standardize the food safety internal control system of catering services for major events, the central kitchen has established a corresponding working mechanism and supervision and management plan. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the project establishes a work plan for food safety guarantee for major activities and catering services, a plan for handling emergencies of major catering activities, and procedures for epidemic prevention and control; strengthens the standardized management of epidemic prevention in all links, daily inspection and elimination; and establishes health files for service personnel to ensure high standards and high quality, and comprehensively guarantees catering supply services.
Restaurant service personnel order dishes from the intelligent delivery system
