What to watch on the call

Carried forward from the last transcript

Risks management flagged

  • Adverse weather could weigh on consumer traffic, particularly in East China.
  • The phase-out of delivery-platform subsidies may affect order volume and sales mix.
  • Rider, labor and social-security compliance costs could pressure economics.
  • Rapid store expansion could cannibalize existing locations or weaken same-store sales.

Questions analysts left open

  • Whether store expansion can sustain same-store sales growth.
  • The outlook for comparable sales against a high base and uncertain weather.
  • Whether margin gains can continue as labor and rider costs rise.
  • How delivery-subsidy changes affect sales mix and whether capital intensity remains disciplined.
