On the news front, data from Amap's street scanning rankings showed that local dining orders surged 150% year-over-year during the National Day holiday period. Numerous small "neighborhood eateries" hidden in streets and alleys experienced traffic peaks, with overall growth reaching 300%.

Huaxin Securities issued a research report stating that restaurant chains face multiple catalysts. Chain restaurant operators represented by Xiaocaiyuan and Green Tea have previously benefited from delivery business growth, achieving year-over-year revenue increases while improving profitability through enhanced procurement bargaining power from scale effects. As platforms like Amap intensify their focus on in-store consumption, this is expected to further boost store foot traffic.

Galaxy Securities also noted that the launch of "Amap Street Scanning Rankings" has generated a catalytic effect on restaurant industry trends.
