Repartidor denuncia, autoinspección del sector, primera gobernanza de toda la cadena en el mercado de Beijing por regulación de restaurantes incumplidores

People Finance News, April 2. Today (the 2nd), the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, together with several third-party online food trading platforms and catering-related industry associations, officially signed a memorandum of cooperation for jointly governing the food safety “quick snap” initiative for delivery riders. This is the first time a full-chain catering joint-governance mechanism has been established, featuring “regulatory guidance, platform support, association coordination, and rider participation,” to further strengthen “safety on the tip of the tongue.” According to the mechanism design, during the process of picking up and delivering orders, if delivery riders find that catering establishments have issues such as kitchen hygiene not meeting standards, operation without valid licenses or permits, or serious violations in food processing, they can report through the specialized channel “quick snap” within the platform App. After relevant leads are uploaded, online platforms will carry out preliminary screening and verification; effective leads will be forwarded to market regulation authorities for investigation and handling in accordance with the law. Meanwhile, special funding will provide rewards to riders who submit effective leads. Additionally, market regulation authorities will periodically review and analyze rider reports, raise regulatory requirements with platforms for prominent problems, and remind industry associations to carry out self-discipline and self-examination. By organizing risk self-examinations, providing training and guidance, and other measures, they will urge member units and catering service operators to operate in a standardized manner, and promote an overall improvement in the safety level of the catering industry.
