Scaling Smart Kitchens: How Country Style Cooking Standardizes Stir-Fry Operations with UTCOOK
Client Background
A nationally recognized Chinese fast-casual chain with over 1,000 stores across China, known for its standardized meal sets and high foot traffic.
Challenges

Results
Cut chef training time from 40 to 18 hours (–55%)
Improved dish consistency from ~85% to 98%+
Saved an average of ¥1,500/month per cooking station
Approved by HQ for regional expansion in 2025
Testimonial
