Huaxi launches food delivery demonstration base

The Online Takeout Food Delivery Demonstration Base in Huaxi district, Guiyang, opened on Oct 19.

The facility targets violations in the online catering sector, including unlicensed operations, forged qualifications, and unsanitary kitchen conditions, to standardize food preparation, packaging, and delivery.

The base is located at Jilin Jiayuan Life Plaza, Xibei sub-district. It was jointly developed by Huaxi's social work department, Huaxi's administration for market regulation, Xibei sub-district's office, and Guiyang Huaxi Agricultural Development Co.

Covering 1,083 square meters, it has 38 planned stalls. Twenty-eight vendors have moved in, and the remaining 10 stalls are open to qualified catering operators.

Operated by a state-owned enterprise in partnership with a third-party firm, the site connects to the "bright kitchen" online supervision platform and food traceability system. Food ingredients are centrally supplied by Guiyang Huaxi Agricultural Development Co. An on-site rider service station offers rest space, drinking water, phone charging, and battery swaps.

Huaxi will implement dynamic vendor management and closed-loop risk correction, standardize the full supply chain, strengthen food safety oversight, and support sound development of the local online catering industry.
