Camping is fun, cooking is so tiring Many netizens share their camping experiences online, washing, cutting, skewering, grilling... they want to have a barbecue, but after a whole set of actions, they still haven't eaten it by nightfall.

Before the consumers arrive, she has already set up shelves and stoves with her colleagues." When the consumers come, they can bake, eliminating the trouble of bringing their own equipment and ingredients. "" The ingredients are very fresh, "" the portions are sufficient, and it's great to eat. On social media, many consumers like camping sites and even take photos and upload pictures of delicious food. Catering accounts for one-third of my overall revenue, but its role in attracting traffic is much higher than one-third. Only when catering is done well can it become popular, "Schlina said of her" business strategy. In response to the demand for camping catering, many catering enterprises seize the opportunity to provide outdoor leisure catering products. Fresh e-commerce platforms such as Hema, Dingdong, and Sam's Club have timely launched "camping packages", offering a variety of unwashed and cut free seafood, as well as marinated beef and mutton skewers, which perfectly meet market demand. Many restaurants have launched semi-finished set meals that include ingredients, pre made dishes, cooking utensils, picnic mats, etc., which can be heated and ready to eat, and can be delivered to meet consumer needs.

Qiu Weijun introduced that the company originally focused on hot pot ingredients, but after adding camping ingredients, the sales data of related products have significantly increased this year. We have established fixed partnerships with many camping sites and also tried to make Western style meals such as pizza, fried chicken, and craft beer, all of which are related to camping, "said Qiu Weijun.
