In 2020, the epidemic suddenly hit the whole country and even the world, and all walks of life were hit hard. Faced with the severe situation, the catering industry closed stores to prevent cross-infection and ensure the health of the whole people. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the catering industry missed the golden sales period of the Spring Festival. What is more regrettable is not the Spring Festival period, but also a period of time after the Spring Festival, struggling between self-rescue and being rescued. During this period, the goal of the catering industry is to survive and make up for shortcomings and create a diversified business model. Socialized catering is constantly being innovated in the context of the current era, and the emergence of group meals has changed the model of the traditional catering industry. The meaning of group meals is very simple, that is, group meals, and this model is very common in life. For example, the school cafeteria where we study is a group meal, which can also be regarded as a group meal model. Not only that, many companies now also have cafeterias, providing employees with a place for group meals. Compared with some smaller restaurants, group meal food will be more reassuring, and at the same time, the price will not be too expensive, and it will remain at a price that everyone can accept. Coupled with the abundance of group meal food, I believe that group meals will be more popular with consumers in the future.

Group meals are not a new topic, but they were pinned to the top in 2020 due to special circumstances and special circumstances. As most companies across the country are resuming work and production, for enterprises and institutions, centralized dining for employees has become one of the focuses of epidemic prevention and control. Taking advantage of the "no epidemic", the catering dine-in control is opened in various units and enterprises. All catering units can provide dine-in services to employees within the regulations if they do a good job in relevant prevention and control. During the epidemic, epidemic prevention and disinfection are carried out to ensure the environmental hygiene and safety of employees when dining. In order to avoid dining in groups, some companies that have opened canteens have adopted separate dining, which is uniformly distributed by the canteen and employees eat at their workstations. Some adopt staggered dining and arrange "college entrance examination style" and "partition style" one-person dining areas.
