On June 25, Meituan's "Small Store with AI" initiative officially launched its first offline experience event in Beijing, marking the entry of this digital upgrade program aimed at empowering small and medium-sized businesses into a full-scale promotion phase. The event announced the launch of a special section for "Small Store with AI," offering free professional AI business courses to millions of small and medium-sized catering merchants across the country.

Under the context of digital transformation, small catering enterprises often face pain points such as high operating costs and difficult decision-making. The AI tool matrix introduced by Meituan, including "AI Xiaoguanyi," "Kangaroo Manager," and "Intelligent Boss," has served over one million merchants. These tools can efficiently assist merchants in conducting detailed data analysis, provide scientific operational optimization suggestions, and perform real-time risk interception, significantly reducing labor costs while greatly improving daily operational efficiency.

It is reported that Beijing, as the first city where this initiative was implemented, not only demonstrated how AI technology can take root in vibrant small restaurants, but also accumulated experience for further expansion to more cities across the country. In the future, Meituan will continue to expand its coverage, driving service innovation through technology to help more small and medium-sized catering enterprises overcome the digital barrier and achieve steady growth in business quality and efficiency.
