Pre-prepared dishes, as the name suggests, are pre-prepared dishes, also known as semi-finished products, which are pre-processed in the central kitchen. There are four main categories: ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, ready-to-cook, and ready-to-serve. Pre-prepared food is easy to operate and tastes good. It is a high-end fast food compared to instant noodles. With the rapid development of the information age, it has gradually entered the vision of consumers. Pre-prepared food is time-saving and labor-saving. Most pre-prepared food is packaged in aluminum foil lunch boxes, which can be directly heated with open flames. It is simple, convenient and fast, which is more suitable for current office workers.
At present, the sales growth rate of pre-prepared semi-finished food is amazing. The sales growth of new convenient fast food such as self-heating hot pot has exceeded 50%. Tmall data shows that the demand for pre-prepared semi-finished food is growing rapidly. Pre-prepared food makes food accessible through the power of industry and retail methods. At the same time, it is driving the fast food industry to the fast road of evolution, giving birth to a huge market, and the market for pre-prepared food packaging will also be gradually expanded.
If pre-prepared food is replaced with semi-finished products, its history will not be so unfamiliar to consumers. Pre-prepared food completely solves the problem of how much salt is a little. The convenience and good taste have made pre-prepared food usher in the outlet of the fast food retail industry. With the emergence of pre-prepared meals, catering companies no longer need experienced chefs, but only ordinary chefs who can heat dishes and stir the wok. This not only saves a lot of personnel expenses, but also solves the problem that high-end chefs are difficult to replicate, achieving the cost reduction and efficiency increase that catering companies desire. At the same time, because pre-prepared meals are packaged in aluminum foil lunch boxes, due to the special nature of its raw materials, the original flavor of the food is guaranteed, and it is both warm and fresh, so this type of packaging is more popular with consumers than ordinary packaging.
