商业
Branches are set to open in London later this year. The more adventurous tastes of younger Chinese are fueling demand. One-third of customers at hotpot restaurants in China are aged between 25 and 30, ii Media says. They often have little time to cook at home and are unburdened by child-care duties. They are relationship-conscious, so the social aspects of sharing hotpots can meet their demands. Round-the-clock restaurants are sprouting up to allow leisurely feasting.
