As an annual flagship event for in-depth dialogue between chain brands and service providers, the China Chain Summit is also a key information platform guiding the globalization of China’s foodservice industry. The organizing committee noted that the award-winning companies represent the first echelon of Chinese brands going global, serving as a core driving force for the industry’s outward expansion and new growth opportunities. At the same time, they provide proven benchmarks and reference models for brands preparing to enter overseas markets.

 

 

As competition in China’s domestic foodservice market continues to intensify, many chain brands have accelerated their overseas expansion—shifting from passive globalization to proactive global strategies. The industry has now entered a new phase that emphasizes brand building and scalable overseas chain operations.Leveraging its highly reliable intelligent beverage dispensing equipment and the APCP system—covering resource scheduling, production process monitoring, and data collection & analytics—TEDIA provides comprehensive support to restaurant chains at every critical stage of international expansion.

 

 

 

Safeguarding Food Safety Compliance with Efficiency and Customization

 

 

For restaurant chains expanding overseas, achieving compliance with local food safety regulations and ensuring long-term product safety is the first and most critical gateway to entering global markets.

 

TEDIA’s intelligent beverage dispensing equipment has obtained multiple international certifications, including GB, ETL, CE, and NSF, enabling restaurant brands to deploy and operate equipment quickly and seamlessly across different countries. TEDIA equipment has been deployed in 31 countries and regions across 390 cities, including Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Spain, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia. TEDIA now provides intelligent support for the made-to-order beverage businesses of over 80 global brands.

Through the TEDIA APCP system, brands can define customized food safety rules at headquarters and deploy them uniformly via the cloud to all domestic and overseas stores with a single click. Features such as cleaning alerts, system notifications, and mandatory cleaning upon expiration can all be centrally managed, enabling true global, standardized store operations regardless of location.The APCP system also includes ingredient shelf-life management, automatically issuing reminders based on cloud-configured parameters. Once ingredients expire, headquarters can enforce mandatory disposal at the store level—ensuring products remain consistently fresh while achieving full traceability and visibility in food safety management.

 

 

 

Strategic Optimization of Labor and Ingredient Costs

 

 

Labor shortages and high labor costs are among the most pressing challenges faced by restaurant brands expanding overseas. TEDIA’s intelligent beverage dispensing equipment enables fully automated, end-to-end beverage preparation, with output times as fast as 6 seconds per cup, significantly improving in-store efficiency.Product recipes are centrally configured and distributed via the cloud. Store staff simply select or scan to dispense beverages, reducing training time by 50%–80% and dramatically lowering costs associated with training, turnover, and operational errors. The system supports multiple languages, including Chinese, English, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, with additional languages continuously added through OTA updates. This allows employees in different countries to quickly master operations, freeing brands from geographic constraints in labor hiring.

Beyond labor, ingredient costs represent another major expense in overseas expansion. Regional specialty ingredients and long-distance logistics pose significant challenges to the global supply chains of Chinese restaurants, often leading to sharply increased costs.

 

 

TEDIA addresses this by minimizing ingredient waste. Its intelligent dispensing system ensures precise output control, reducing material loss caused by manual preparation. In addition, TEDIA’s patented “weighing-feedback dispensing technology” enables 1:1 precise replication of product recipes, perfectly reproducing laboratory-standard flavors. This prevents quality inconsistencies, customer dissatisfaction, and the resulting waste of ingredients—particularly critical for scarce or high-cost materials.

 

 

 

Data-Driven Insights Supporting Key Overseas Decisions

 

 

As the globalization of Chinese foodservice brands accelerates, internationalization awareness continues to deepen, making localization strategies a top priority for success abroad.

 

All TEDIA intelligent beverage dispensing equipment is embedded with the APCP system, enabling structured data collection, accumulation, and application at the level of every store and every device worldwide. From recipe development and deployment to cup-level output data, ingredient consumption, loading and disposal, and food safety cleaning records, the entire operational lifecycle is captured in real time and uploaded to the system.Brand headquarters can access dashboards at any time, achieving full visibility and traceability across every product, every store, and every moment. These high-quality data assets provide reliable support for critical overseas decision-making—helping brands accurately identify products that resonate with local consumer preferences, optimize localized menus, and rapidly align with regional tastes.

 

 

 

Stable, Reliable Operations Power Sustainable Global Expansion

 

 

Overseas expansion is a long-term endeavor, and operational stability is the foundation for sustained and scalable growth.

 

As of February 2026, TEDIA intelligent beverage dispensing equipment has produced over 3.6 billion cups globally, with a peak performance of more than 5,000 cups per device per day, while maintaining smooth and stable operation. Its self-developed high-performance platform and system architecture provide a solid technical foundation, ensuring reliable output even during peak demand periods.

For devices deployed overseas and in continuous operation for over one year, TEDIA maintains an average repair rate below 1%. Each device is equipped with a highly self-diagnostic system that continuously monitors operational status, performs routine self-checks, and issues maintenance and replacement reminders. This proactive approach minimizes operational disruptions and provides robust technical support for the stable, long-term operation of overseas stores.
