Haidilao was exposed to labeling customers with physical characteristics

Many customers said that they had to be labeled for a meal, feeling that they were being observed and offended. There are also people who are curious about what the notes haidilao gave them and want to see it.

In this regard, Haidilao's customer service responded that this is an internal system, which is inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, and the label does not support customer modification.

Previously, Haidilao has been on the hot search many times due to price increases and food safety issues. In October last year, a Haidilao store in Shanghai was found to store expired bean flowers, and soon after, Henan consumers exposed that Haidilao provided a shortage of two pounds.

On February 21, Haidilao issued a profit warning, and it is expected to lose 3.8 billion yuan to 4.5 billion yuan for the whole year of 2021, almost losing the profit of the three years of listing. The huge loss allowed Haidilao to close 300 stores at a time, and also triggered a discussion about "Haidilao is not working".

The of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest, and a series of misjudgments put Haidilao into a loss dilemma. Rather than labeling customers, Haidilao may be more likely to find its own position.

According to the data, as of the end of September last year, Yang Guofu's spicy hot brand had a total of 5783 restaurants, including 21 franchised restaurants overseas, while only 3 self-operated restaurants, which means that more than 99% of Yang Guofu's stores are franchised.

From the perspective of revenue composition, Yang Guofu's spicy hot franchise fee does not account for more than 6%, but mainly relies on the sale of homegrown goods and resale of goods purchased from third parties, such as ingredients, seasonings and others.
