Is it true that word of mouth is included in Alibaba s new retail system?

A few days ago, the first landing project of word-of-mouth based on the new retail concept transformation "Wufangzhai unmanned smart restaurant" was officially launched. Fan Chi, CEO of Koubei, said that Koubei has been included in Alibaba's new retail system in January this year, becoming one of Alibaba's four new retail armies, mainly responsible for exploring and practicing the new retail model in the field of local life services, especially in the catering industry.

Founded in June 2015, Koubei is a local life service platform jointly funded by Alibaba and Ant Financial Group. At present, there are more than 2.5 million merchants settled on the word-of-mouth platform, and the number of transactions in a single day has exceeded 30 million. In November 2017, Koubei announced the opening of unmanned restaurant technology to provide full-process solutions including intelligent ordering, intelligent recommendation, service notification, self-service pick-up, automatic deduction, and meal evaluation for the majority of catering businesses.

According to the estimation of word-of-mouth, catering businesses that use word-of-mouth unmanned restaurant technology can effectively save labor costs while increasing the reception capacity of restaurants by more than 30% on average.

It's just a private company, and today I went to interview (group meeting) that what kind of account manager is actually the bottom sales, and I also signed a third-party agreement "Tragedy", and I didn't even have a formal company façade signboard ......Even if you end up promoting them, it's time to run out of revenue or lay off employees......

It is reported that a few days ago, it was reported that Alibaba has recently incorporated the reputation of the local life service platform into the new retail system. The business reporting line of Koubei was adjusted from the original Ant Financial to Alibaba Group, and Fan Chi, CEO of Koubei, reported to Daniel Zhang, CEO of Alibaba Group.

According to the report, Ali CEO said that new retail is a strategic idea, using Internet ideas and technology to re-excavate and ignite various chemical reactions in the original retail business world. Including word of mouth, Ali has formed a four-way army of new retail, reconstructing and promoting efficiency upgrades in clothing department stores, electrical appliances, food fresh FMCG, catering and other industries.

In terms of word-of-mouth, it said that it will continue to explore and practice new retail models in the field of local life services, especially in the catering industry, to help offline merchants improve their operational efficiency and provide users with a better consumption experience. At the same time, after the adjustment of the business reporting line, Koubei still maintains its positioning as an independent company, forming a deeper strategic synergy with Alibaba Group in the new retail field.

At present, more than 2.5 million merchants across the country have settled in the word-of-mouth platform. With more than 30 million transactions in a single day, Koubei is the largest local life service platform in China.
