First ‘shared restaurant’ starts trials
Print Edition
THE city’s first “shared restaurant” has started trial operations at SML Center, a shopping mall in Huangpu District.
The restaurant is actually a collaboration between participating eateries in the mall. According to organizers, customers can order meals from these eateries in advance via an app, and then be served immediately upon arrival. If there are no seats inside a customer’s preferred restaurant, they will be directed to a shared dining space with 121 seats.
“About 20 percent of diners leave on average when they have to wait at a restaurant, and the idea of the shared restaurant originated to prevent that situation and provide better dining experiences to diners,” said Li Xuan with Shanghai-based dining application Seat Now, which operates the shared restaurant.
“I usually give up when the queuing time is over 15 minutes, and the shared restaurant seems to be a good option,” said Julia Lin, a white collar worker in the area who came to try this new dining experience.
