The problems about Opening Chinese restaurants abroad

Chinese food and beverage enterprises go abroad and face three problems:

1. Insufficient research and analysis ability in overseas markets

The target customers are local people, and there are still some deficiencies in how to choose the location and how to adjust the taste of dishes.

2. scarcity of managerial talent

Although the characteristic vegetables and cooking seasoning can be transported by air, it is still difficult for bilingual catering talents to calculate the local purchasing and rent, and make the accurate price and gross profit rate.

3. not familiar with local laws and regulations

Chinese enterprises to go out often several legal problems are: overseas recruitment problem, technology to send problems, food safety and so on, if do not pay attention to easy to trigger a labor dispute between the two sides, even cause legal problems.

Important question: how can Chinese enterprises better go abroad?

Li yongtai, a professor of cantonese cuisine and former headmaster of guangdong provincial vocational school of tourism and commerce, said that for Chinese enterprises to go abroad, they must practice their "internal skills" :

1. Food safety is very important. Both at home and abroad, food safety should be the first factor.

2. Understand and learn the laws and regulations of the country where catering enterprises are located. Be familiar with the culture of the country including catering culture. Grounding gas is the first thing to do to avoid the occurrence of cultural violation.

3, restaurants to achieve standardization, to cook, to the waiter, this is not only going abroad to do things, is also in domestic food and beverage market competition in the future to do things, this is one of the current trend of the development of the catering.

Dig deep into your traditional food and upgrade it. Chinese food out of the overseas is not only a commercial purpose, catering enterprises but also shoulder the important task of promoting Chinese culture, Chinese traditional food, especially the traditional snacks is an important part of our culture, dig and raise the grade to develop China's cultural soft power and get rid of the Chinese food "cheap cheap" label.

5, restaurants to vogue, recreational, social, and fans, the fans consumer digital, this is one of the current trend of the development of the catering, to make the dining entertainment integration, want to use big data analytics fans dining habits.

conclusion

According to the current development status of Chinese food and beverage enterprises that have successfully gone abroad, there are four characteristics as follows:

Targeting the Chinese market

In fact, the overseas Chinese have become an important part of global cities, for Chinese enterprises, it is a very potential market, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Canada and so on countries with large Chinese communities, the generally high acceptance of Chinese for Chinese food, easy to form a stable customer group, for example, haidilao Chinese community in Singapore are flawed, in Los Angeles during the Chinese New Year, the eyebrow states dongpo stores almost all of them are Chinese guests for dinner.

Cooperate with foreign capital to expand overseas market

The river just outside the city set up a company specialized in investment Singapore, its investors miele group not only in foreign countries has food branch, and in Singapore has a rich experience in restaurant operations management, make the river just outside the city less detours.

Huang ji huang develops overseas markets mainly by developing local franchisees. Huang ji huang is responsible for exporting core materials such as brand, management and sauce.

Hua jia yi yuan and a five Yellow River carp are set up overseas through cooperation with overseas companies.

Although the east slope of meizhou is dominated by direct stores, it has also reached strategic cooperation with local real estate developers to facilitate the location of its stores.

Goubuli is the direct acquisition of overseas catering companies to expand its brand influence.

Centrally located in the area

Dongpo eyebrow states, for example, the eyebrow states dongpo group several big Chinese communities are opened a branch in Los Angeles, is now up to four, and has set up a company in the United States, with the central kitchen unified management, according to the way of the development of modern chain restaurant. Although the eastern slope of meizhou is still in the loss, but the operation is also gradually on the right track.

Casual dining has an advantage

And dongpo eyebrow states, for example, as early as 2013 in the United States eyebrow states dongpo's first store will give priority to in order to provide a casual dining, or just go out and the Yang Mingyu conger chicken rice, qinfeng costs is to go out in the form of casual dining, in the ground by a lot of people chase after hold in both hands. According to some experts, casual dining is easier to operate, more standardized and more in line with the trend of catering.

Why do Chinese people like to open Chinese restaurants abroad?

Before long we lived abroad in order to support the family paste the best way is to do Chinese food, because for us to do the dishes is not a difficult thing, and foreigners just contact the new delicious dishes will have a great passion.

A foreigner said: "almost all non-english people living abroad will open a restaurant, even though they don't know the language and sales skills, still can live a good life, this is known as the" let the foot into the door ", and move on, to greater things.

"In fact, Chinese food is so good that we all like it. I have never seen a place where Chinese restaurants cannot operate it," said another foreigner.

Andeen Phan, another netizen, said: "because I've lived abroad for four years, I'm actually tired of eating. It was so frustrating, I never thought I was tired of eating. But how do you deal with the fact that all foods are equally bland? There is no street food, only food trucks selling the same food. But after a period of time, I began to realize the fact that Chinese people are used to breed and complex taste, this is not what you can see in the western-style food, I'm sorry, you mentioned that French food is an exception? Sorry, I disagree. I understand why children don't like to eat vegetables here: do we mention diversity because there's nothing to eat? If there were only Onions, carrots, potatoes and cabbage, it wouldn't change much. Last night I ordered a spicy chicken rice. The only thing I could taste was gentleness. Where were the spices? Not to mention that the rice is soaked through and the Chinese will never do that.

Foreigners share the Chinese food he eats in the Chinese restaurant

So that's the answer: because western food is fun for the Chinese, but it's not really the best thing to crave. For these reasons, we opened restaurants to meet these needs and provide food for people like me: everyone misses home every day, but the only place close to home is the taste of Chinese food.

And foreigners said: "provide is different from western Chinese food is a very good thing, because many people do not understand Chinese food, they have a lot of rich dishes, can say it is a quite good choice."

And foreigners said: "this is very simple, food is the center of their culture, if you live in China for a year or two years, you'll know that once I got any foreign cities, the first thing I need to do is to find a Chinese restaurant, this is not to be eight kinds of food, they have at least 8000 kinds of food."

"Chinese restaurants are a good business for internal reasons," said another. The variety and adaptability of Chinese cuisine make it easy for Chinese restaurants to produce delicious dishes that are suitable for local tastes while retaining the flavor of Chinese cuisine. It's also easy to learn and prepare quickly, so it's easy to start a restaurant business for people who aren't education recipients. Finally, Chinese food is very popular all over the world, so wherever you go around the world, you have the opportunity to open a Chinese restaurant and be successful.

In a Chinese restaurant abroad

'I mean, don't you like Chinese food?' said Vina Liao, a foreigner.

Sam Arora, a foreigner, said: "in short: Chinese food is a big brand around the world and it's a very safe place to invest. Chinese food is relatively healthy: when you analyze Chinese food as quite healthy, most of it is green vegetables, very little meat. Most cooking is done with steam, with almost no fat. They can also make "Fried foods" to suit our tastes, depending on the market.

Chinese food cooking

Another foreigner said: "generally speaking, Chinese restaurants are another possible choice because of relatively high turnover and low input costs. They can rent a place, buy some cooking equipment, order ingredients, and start making some money fairly quickly. Although margins may be low, they have enough cash flow to pay their bills, buy necessities and maybe even start saving.

7.6 percent of Chinese college students consider themselves bisexual or homosexual，A survey of homosex students in China.

China family planning association issued college students and the present condition of the reproductive health survey, according to a report on sexual orientation, Chinese college students, the thought of himself as heterosexual students accounted for 89.5%, gay and bisexual accounted for 2.5% and 5.1% respectively.

The survey was conducted in 2015 with 17,966 valid questionnaires covering more than 130 universities in China, with an average age of 20.2 years. Homosexuality among Chinese college students is slightly lower than in the United States and Europe.

In recent years, the Chinese perception of gay has changed, at least from the point of the younger generation group, most people's attitude is not exclusive homosexuality exists in social life.

Before the interview, we subconsciously thought that foreigners would be very open, especially those from Europe and the United States, which should be very different from the Chinese. But that is not the case.
The five Russian girls interviewed said they did not like gay people and had few gay people around them. A foreign student from the United States says some of his gay friends still face public opinion and pressure to make intimate moves with their male friends in public. But all respondents said that everyone should have the right to love.

Homosexuality is still the boundary of society when society is not universally accepted.

In the sad and sad stories we hear, they are not only struggling, but also under pressure from family and public opinion. Gay in the past, people regarded as a kind of disease and abnormal behavior, try by electric shock "aversion therapy", intake of male female hormones and brain lobe resection surgery such as appalling change sexual orientation.

Based on treatment of inefficiencies, most gay people are no longer seeking medical help, they or latent in the other side of the city to show the other side of the unknown, or hit a nominal marriage life.
Conservative estimates suggest that more than 16 million Chinese women have married gay or bisexual men.

Some gay people divorced, married, divorced, and eventually chose to go home.

The prevailing view in the United States and Europe that homosexuality is a disease is not a disease, nor is it treated, and that is supported by the medical community. In 1992, the world health organization (who) confirmed that homosexuality was a natural phenomenon for minorities and did not include it as a mental disorder.

China removed homosexuals from the list of mentally ill people in 2001.
We look forward to a more inclusive social environment.

the language taboos in these countries

In Chinese , having a some language taboos, when people communicate with each other.
In China, the taboo of appellation is rooted in the traditional culture of society. China is a patriarchal society.
Chinese tradition, especially taboo to the name of the elders. for example Just say the full name of your elders.
Death is the most feared and taboo, so the word "death" cannot be mentioned. There are more than 200 euphemisms related to "death" in Chinese.On New year's Day, such as the beginning of the wedding, language taboos are particularly important. So on January, you should not say the words "death, loss, light," and so on. Fear of disaster throughout the year. The most national and regional characteristics of linguistic taboos are homophonic taboos.

In-laws may be universally intimidating, but in some cultures, the deference paid them rises to a whole new level, at least linguistically.

A geographically widespread practice known as avoidance speech, or "mother-in-law languages," imposes strict rules on how one speaks — or doesn't — to the parents of a spouse, with daughters-in-law typically bearing the brunt of such limits.

In parts of Africa, Australia and India, some societies restrict the words a person can say after marriage. Some cultures have even barred all direct communication with parents-in-law.

Some married women who speak the Kambaata language of Ethiopia follow ballishsha, a rule that forbids them from using words that begin with the same syllable as the name of their father-in-law or mother-in-law.

This rule can complicate a conversation, but there are workarounds. Certain basic words in the vocabulary come in synonymous pairs. "One is the normal term, used by everybody; one is the term used by women who are not allowed to say that word," said Yvonne Treis, a linguist at a French research institute, Languages and Cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa.
。
Euphemisms are another frequent solution: If the word "ox" is taboo for a wife to say, she may refer to "the one that plows" instead. The Kambaata language also has a word akin to "whatchamacallit" in English, useful in a pinch as either a noun or verb when no other alternative is available.

Avoidance speech is also practiced by speakers of some of the Bantu languages of southern Africa, including Xhosa and Zulu. Married women are forbidden from using their father-in-law's name, or any word that has the same root or similar sound.

Bantu speakers often get around this restriction by borrowing synonyms from other languages spoken nearby. Some linguists think that is how click consonants found their way into Bantu speech: in words borrowed from Khoisan languages, which use clicks extensively.

In parts of India, a daughter-in-law is not allowed to use words that begin with the same letters as her in-laws' names, requiring her to use a parallel vocabulary.

Avoidance speech was a common feature of many aboriginal languages in Australia. The custom has largely faded in some areas, but it is still widely practiced in the Western Desert region and Arnhem Land, according to Claire Bowern, a professor of linguistics at Yale.

Avoidance speech can be more of a two-way street in Australia, with restrictions applying across genders and generations. There are aboriginal cultures where a man and his mother-in-law are forbidden to directly address each other.

"In my experience, the taboos between a man and a mother-in-law are a lot stronger than between a woman and her mother-in-law," Professor Bowern said.

As in Africa and India, there are a number of rules in Australian languages about which words one can say in the presence of "tabooed kin," Professor Bowern said. For example, in the Dyirbal language, spoken in northeast Queensland, water is "bana" in the everyday language but "jujama" in avoidance speech.

Of course, there isn't a second word for everything, and one avoidance word often has to suffice for many related ordinary words. In the Guugu Yimithirr tongue, spoken in the far north of Queensland, the verb "bali-l," meaning to travel, is the all-purpose substitute for more specific words like walk, crawl, limp, paddle or float.

Why did the custom of avoidance speech arise? Some experts on its use in Africa and India see it as a way to reinforce the inferior status of daughters-in-law. In Australia, the prohibitions might have been intended to reduce the chance of sexual relations between in-laws.

Search your want to buy things for a long time, sometimes found on eBay did not, however, Taobao will have a lot of really good, and the price is cheap, and free shipping!

I was so happy that I placed an order right away. It made me happier. Two days later my mouse arrived. But my girlfriend criticized me. She said I bought a fake......

I want Black Tea, wool socks, there are a lot of very cheap German book, my friend asked me to buy Chinese wind accessories, Chinese medicine semi-finished products, millet mobile phone, you can buy shoes, and most of the quality is good, the man's attitude is also very enthusiastic, express is very fast, can receive three four days basically.

There are a lot of selling snacks on Taobao! A lot of China snacks can buy! ~Ha ha, good and cheap, are a lot of things. Such as the old godmother, I bought a lot of back to Germany and the United States to everybody, now I become the old godmother "lao gan ma" of international purchasing.

2. Some very strange things, peculiar!

There are many things on Taobao that are full of Chinese-style
Many of my friends also asked me to help them buy some

But I found that Taobao also has a lot of strange things, but it also has a strong and unique Chinese style.

One winter, I was in Taobao, and the amount of search was very high. It was called "warm hand treasure"(Warm your hands

)It was like a hole in a sleeve that had to be plugged in and looked very scary and of no use
I've been curious to see so many holes, the heat won't all run into the air?

And is it worth an electric appliance? If so, why is it only 20yuan (less than $3)? It's really cheap!

There are a lot of Taobao designer clothes, the clothes is very expensive, but Taobao is very cheap, and very many people buy, the quality is also very good, but it will choose.

-from ManuelSchulzHello, I am a German, I want to share my first Taobao shopping with you...
I first heard about Taobao, it sounds like China Amazon for me,

I hope I can have a use of the English website, because Amazon can be used in any language.

Soon I found the site only in chinese,
I even have to register and fill out my information,

So I gave up my first try.

Shopping for help from a colleague of mine,
I can even pay my foreign credit card, which is terrible at that time,
All my other foreign colleagues have been wondering how I can use Taobao
They always ask, "how can you use Chinese websites instead of Chinese?""
My secret is to translate this sentence into Google translation,
For example, if I want to buy milk, I'll translate the milk into chinese,
Then search for it. Fortunately, the purchase process takes only 2 or 3 steps,

Super simple, even when you can't understand Chinese.

Today I in Taobao to buy more, because I have a Alipay, make things more convenient transportation, most of the time is not fast, but it is also good in Germany. Amazon does not provide fast delivery, so I used the speed.

Now, foreign friends can do online shopping on aliexpress and joybuy.

Later, I will talk about online shopping, each platform is different.

What is common in Chinese, something not common in foreign countries?

Preserved egg
The American media rated the preserved egg as "the most disgusting" food, and at one time the Chinese people were indignant and named the preserved egg.

In China, it is very delicious food.

Electric bicycle.
