Tushang Coffee is about to withdraw from the Chinese market
K-pop coffee ebbing?
Beijing Business Daily news, Beijing Business Daily reporter learned that Tushang Coffee will close the last three stores in China within April, at present, Tushang Coffee online and offline stores are carrying out discount promotions.
It is understood that Tushang Coffee originally belonged to South Korea's CJ Group, which includes brands such as Dole Day.
A few days ago, Tushang Coffee Wangjing SOHO store posted a "farewell letter", the farewell letter wrote that the Customer purchased Tushang physical card, stored value card, Mini Program coupons, and accumulated Mini Program membership points, etc., it is recommended to use up as soon as possible.

Regarding the subsequent refund issue, the relevant staff said that the consumer needs to scan the code to fill in the relevant information, and the staff will void the consumer's balance or coupon in the background after confirmation, and return the money to the bank account filled in by the consumer within 10 working days. When the Beijing Business Daily reporter asked whether Tushang Coffee was withdrawing from the Chinese market, the above staff gave a positive answer.
Wang Zhendong, chairman of Shanghai Brown Yue Investment Management Co., Ltd., pointed out that the ebb and flow of the "Korean Wave" has a certain impact on coffee brands from South Korea. On the other hand, the products of some Korean coffee brands do not have differentiated competitive advantages, but focus on the layout of the store scene, which is not conducive to brand development.
The first day of the implementation of the new takeaway regulations
Food safety seals are worth promoting
Nanfang Daily news, from April 1, the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau officially implemented the "Network Catering Service Catering Safety Management Specification", which clearly stipulates the packaging and distribution requirements, including the use of takeaway packaging seals or one-time sealing of the outer packaging bags and other sealing methods, sealing, outer packaging bag mouth should not be restored after opening; in the distribution process should not open the outer packaging, food contamination should be terminated; loading and unloading, the doors and covers of distribution equipment and facilities should be opened and closed, etc., causing public concern.
In real life, most of the information of online catering food is in the hands of merchants and delivery personnel, and consumers have no knowledge of the specific production and distribution process, which is easy to produce distrust. Moreover, once consumers complain, it is easy to cause disputes between merchants and food delivery personnel, resulting in the two sides "kicking the ball" between each other, and it is difficult to define the responsible subject.

The implementation of the "food security seal" management system just hit this pain point. At present, many places in the country have tried this system, from the implementation effect, it can effectively prevent and control the risk of "takeaway pollution", and also protect the legitimate rights and interests of merchants and platforms to a certain extent.
After the full implementation of the "food security seal" management system," consumers may still encounter problems such as "worse taste than dine-in food" and "ghost takeaway", and the Specification further clarifies the responsibilities of the platform, including requiring a comprehensive and accurate review and display of the relevant qualifications of the merchant, which coincides with the recent "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Online Consumer Dispute Cases (I)".
The safety on the tip of the tongue is greater than the sky, the pursuit of food safety is to constantly move the gate forward, only so that illegal businesses have nothing to hide, in order to complement the "food security seal" and other management systems, and jointly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
