In the highly competitive catering furniture industry, Zhongshan Muya Co., Ltd. has always regarded innovation as the "key" to its development. Following the successful launch of a series of popular dining tables and chairs, the company has now set its sights on the storage needs of catering chains. By focusing on three key aspects—the application of new materials, the research and development of lockers, and customized services—it aims to provide new solutions for the industry.
New Materials: Prioritizing Both Durability and Environmental Friendliness
In the past, ordinary panels were commonly used for catering lockers. These not only failed to meet environmental standards but were also prone to warping and deforming due to moisture. Muya's R&D team dedicated significant efforts to address this issue. They experimented with recycling plastic bottles and discarded wood, reprocessing these materials into new eco-friendly panels. These panels have an almost undetectable formaldehyde content and offer excellent moisture and fire resistance. To thoroughly test the material properties, the team conducted repeated trials in simulated high-temperature and high-humidity environments. After more than half a year of research, development, and refinement, they finalized a mature formula. Lockers made from this material not only comply with environmental protection standards but also have a lifespan 2 to 3 years longer than traditional ones. This enables catering chains to save on replacement costs while maintaining environmental sustainability.
Developing Lockers Tailored for Catering Chains: Solving Practical Challenges
The storage requirements of catering chains are complex and varied, as they need to accommodate ingredients, tableware, cleaning supplies, and more. Muya's R&D staff visited numerous chain catering brands and discovered that common pain points included inefficient space utilization and inconvenient access to stored items. In response, the team developed multi-functional combined lockers. The interior features adjustable partitions, allowing users to customize the space according to the height of different items. Hidden pulleys are installed for easy movement, and transparent windows on the cabinet doors enable employees to see the contents without opening them, significantly improving retrieval efficiency. After the first batch of products was piloted in 20 stores of a major fast-food chain, employees reported that the time spent searching for items was nearly halved, and storage space utilization increased by 30%.
Customization: Fulfilling Individualized Requirements
Recognizing the diverse decoration styles and storage needs of different catering brands, Muya has introduced a customization service. Customers simply need to provide store floor plans and specific requirements, and the designers will use 3D software to quickly create models, presenting the locker's design, dimensions, and placement. If customers are dissatisfied with the design, adjustments can be made at any time. To ensure production efficiency, Muya's digital production line can rapidly respond to customized orders. From the finalization of the design to delivery, the process can be completed in as little as 15 days. Currently, more than 50 catering chains have obtained exclusive lockers through this service. These lockers are not only highly practical but also seamlessly integrate with the overall store decor, becoming a distinctive feature of each establishment.
In the future, Zhongshan Muya will continue to delve deeper into the fields of new materials and customization, striving to develop more products that closely align with the needs of the catering industry and injecting new impetus into its development.
