On September 26th around 12:30, the reporter visited a Xi Bei restaurant in Pudong New Area. The occupancy rate of the store was roughly 30%-40%, with chefs in the kitchen making lamb skewers on site. However, due to the average business, other chefs were not currently cooking ingredients. Xi Bei's famous "timing hourglass" promise to serve all dishes within 25 minutes, and if they are not served on time, all unserved dishes are free. But now, there is no hourglass in the Xi Bei restaurant. After the meal, the staff gave the reporter a 100 yuan voucher with no minimum spending requirement, which can be used from the following day to October 31st. It is understood that recently, every customer who consumes at the restaurant can receive the voucher. As for whether there will still be pre-cooked dishes in the store after the rectification, on September 26th, the staff at this store in Pudong New Area said, "We have made the necessary changes, but the steamed buns are delivered and steamed." "Actually, the braised rice was also made on site before, but the sauce was delivered. Now, the sauce is also stir-fried on site," the staff added. The staff also revealed that after the dispute between Luo Yonghao and Xi Bei, the business of the store did decrease, with a decline in revenue of about 50%. The staff mentioned that the workload in the store has increased after the rectification, and if the business improves in the future, more staff may be needed. Currently, the business is average, so the current staff is enough.
