As the competition among food delivery platforms intensifies, small and medium-sized catering businesses are caught in multiple dilemmas of high costs, low efficiency, and difficult expansion. Phenomena such as catering businesses being overwhelmed with orders and the rising rate of late deliveries by riders have also made more people start to think about how to build a win - win ecosystem among consumers, businesses, platforms, and food delivery riders.

Against this backdrop, an efficiency revolution driven by intelligent cooking equipment has quietly erupted. At the "Su Chao" (Jiangsu Provincial City Football League) stadium, Tineco, a high - end intelligent home appliance brand, provided a solution to the industry's problems with a stunning cooking show using its stir - frying robots.

On July 20th, during the high - profile match between Suzhou and Zhenjiang, Tineco's stir - frying robots were invited to set up a booth at the themed market next to the Suzhou Sports Center. They completed a thousand freshly stir - fried dishes in a single day, attracting enthusiastic on - site fans to check in. The dishes cooked by Tineco's "robot chefs" that fans received with their game tickets were delicious in color, aroma, and taste. What amazed the audience even more was the cooking efficiency of completing a chef - level dish in just two minutes. From efficient food delivery to hotel - grade taste, the Tineco Wanxing Chef not only made "robot stir - frying" a hit with its hardcore technology but also showed people another possibility for the future of the catering industry.

This successful cross - border "roadshow" demonstrated Tineco's ambition to empower the catering industry. After deeply understanding the industry's pain points, Tineco's stir - frying robot, the Wanxing Chef, solves industry problems such as high labor costs and unstable taste through automation and intelligent technologies. It is reconstructing the business efficiency of the small B - end of the catering industry and is an innovative product in the field of commercial intelligent cooking machines. In Tineco's view, the launch of the Wanxing Chef is not just an intelligent cooking device but a presentation of a replicable and scalable future business model for the catering industry.

Tineco's Wanxing Chef offers a complete and disruptive solution with a set of "combined punches". Its core values lie in precise category coverage, specializing in the most in - demand stir - fried and stewed dishes in Chinese cuisine, with stable and hotel - grade food quality; a disruptive ratio of human efficiency, where one person can operate five devices in coordination, with an average of one dish being served in two minutes, a 30% increase in food delivery efficiency, a direct 60% reduction in labor costs, and a 50% reduction in kitchen area; freshly cooked dishes on order for better health, with fresh food prepared on - site throughout the process and no pre - made dishes added, building a differentiated competitive edge; a closed - loop for empowering chain stores, providing full - link standardized support from recipe development, store implementation, to quality control management, allowing small B - end catering businesses to have no worries.

Tineco's "smart catering" blueprint is not just empty talk. Currently, the Wanxing Chef has successfully helped more than 200 stores of over 100 catering brands, such as "Guizhou Stir - Fried Flower Plates" under Bantianyao, achieve intelligent upgrades in their kitchens. In addition, Tineco opened the first direct - operated experience store of the Wanxing Chef in Suzhou Industrial Park, called "Awan Stir - Fry". It uses "robot - stir - fried fast food" to solve the dining problems of urban white - collar workers. Both dine - in and takeaway are freshly cooked on order, with a daily average of over 500 dishes served, successfully verifying the commercial feasibility of the "zero - chef restaurant" model.

The subsidy war among food delivery platforms will eventually return to rationality. Only technological innovation that can truly help businesses improve efficiency and reduce costs is the valuable variable in this catering revolution. The popularity of Tineco's stir - frying robots signals the arrival of a new technology - driven era in the catering industry. In 2025, it may truly become the first year of the popularization of "robot chefs", and Tineco is standing at the forefront of this wave of change.
