The opening of KFC's first store in Tianjin Metro signifies the explosive growth of the "rail + catering" model. As young people increasingly rely on the instant consumption model of "ordering on the train and picking up food upon exiting," delivering hot and fresh meals in a short period has become the core competitiveness of catering businesses in subway stations. Insulated cabinets are thus becoming the key equipment connecting pre-preparation and rapid pickup.

The core pain point of catering in subway stations lies in the contradiction between "instant peaks" and "zero-wait demand." Data from the Tianjin KFC Metro store shows that during the morning peak, the pickup volume per hour exceeds 200 orders, with customers spending less than 90 seconds on average. This requires stores to pre-prepare meals 1-2 hours in advance, but traditional storage methods can easily lead to soft burger buns and soggy fried chicken, directly affecting taste.

Indel's insulated cabinet's precise temperature control technology perfectly solves this problem. Its layered independent temperature control system can set a golden insulation range of 60-85℃ for different food items. The burger zone maintains a constant temperature of 75℃ to lock in juices, while the fried chicken zone uses dry insulation technology to maintain crispiness, extending the crispness retention time by over 40% compared to ordinary insulated cabinets. After using this equipment, pre-prepared meals can still maintain their freshly made quality within 3 hours, and the meal delivery efficiency during peak hours increases by 50%.

In terms of food safety and operational efficiency, Indel's insulated cabinet also shows significant advantages. The built-in temperature monitoring system can display the cabinet temperature in real-time, ensuring that food items are always within a safe temperature range, meeting the stringent hygiene standards of subway catering. Its large-capacity design allows for pre-stocking of 2600 daily orders, completely solving the problem of stockouts during peak hours.

As the "15-minute convenient living circle" extends to subways, insulated cabinets are becoming the standard for chain catering enterprises to capture underground traffic. Their professional performance in temperature accuracy and taste retention creates an efficient closed loop between pre-preparation and rapid pickup, providing core support for the standardized expansion of subway catering.
