Huang Jielong, president of the Rice Seedlings Association, believes that the catering industry will benefit if people are busy.

He believes that the catering industry can benefit from 10 billion to 15 billion yuan in consumer vouchers, but the business in the catering industry has returned to 80% under normal conditions in the past two months. Under the epidemic prevention restrictions, there is little room for business growth to increase. Ten percent growth.

He described the coupons as not a "100-meter sprint", but a long-distance race. He believed that its impact would be sustainable.

He said that his group has 40 branches. On average, half of the diners use coupons, and some branches account for as much as 80%.

When talking about which electronic payment platform customers use, he said that 40% use Octopus, 30% use Alipay Hong Kong, 20% use Tap&Go, and the remaining 10% use WeChat Pay HK.
