Business
Xi'an Catering Co., Ltd. operates primarily in the catering services and industrialized food processing sectors in China. The company offers a comprehensive range of products and services including fine-processed dishes; catering services featuring cold dishes, hot dishes, beef and mutton steamed buns, gourd head steamed buns, dumplings, roast duck, hot pot, and local Shaanxi specialties; as well as other regional Chinese cuisines such as Cantonese, Sichuan, Huaiyang, and halal foods. Its food manufacturing segment encompasses six main product series: pastry baking, meat products, quick-frozen foods, convenience foods, semi-finished products, and beverage brewing. Xi'an Catering also operates a chain of restaurants and hotels, supported by a network of nearly 100 stores including specialty, old, and big-name time-honored brand outlets. The company is recognized as a Chinese Time-honored Brand and is among China's Top Ten Famous Catering Enterprises. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, it is controlled by Xi'an Tourism Group Co., Ltd. In recent developments, Xi'an Catering has maintained its market position through a focus on characteristic cuisine and scientific management but reported financial pressure in 2024 with a net loss forecasted between 54.5 million and 65 million yuan. The company experienced leadership change with the resignation of Chairman Liu Yong in late 2025 due to a change in his job role. Despite the financial challenges, Xi'an Catering continues to operate its core segments without public announcement of major acquisitions or strategic alliances in the last 1-2 years. Its business model integrates food processing, catering services, and food supply alongside ancillary services in property management, skills training, and entertainment. The company serves a broad customer base across China, emphasizing its role as a regional leader in Shaanxi Province and a key player in China's catering and food processing industry. Xi'an Catering’s latest performance trends show fluctuating sales with a decline noted in 2024 after strong growth years, reflecting challenging market conditions but also ongoing brand strength through established culinary offerings and a diversified product portfolio across industrial food and commercial catering channels. The company leverages its heritage brands and extensive branch network to sustain its regional prominence and explore operational efficiencies going forward. This profile reflects data current through late 2025.
