In terms of marketing, in addition to traditional advertising methods, such as placing advertisements in local newspapers and magazines, broadcasting promotional videos on radio and television stations, and cooperating with the fashion and art circles, the hotel also actively participates in local community activities and public welfare undertakings.

For example, by sponsoring a local cultural festival, the hotel will set up a food display area at the festival site to showcase the production process and specialties of Chinese, French and Italian fusion dishes.

The chef team regularly conducts new product research and development, and they will pay close attention to fashion trends, food trends, customer feedback and other information to gain inspiration and creativity.

During the research and development process, chefs will conduct multiple tests and adjustments to continuously optimize the recipes and production processes of the dishes. At the same time, the hotel also pays attention to the inheritance and standardized production of classic dishes.

For some classic Chinese-French-Italian fusion dishes that are popular with customers, such as "Spaghetti Bolognese with Chinese-French spices" and "Chinese-French-Italian pizza", the chef team will formulate detailed standardized production processes and quality control standards. Strict regulations are set in terms of the selection and processing of ingredients, the amount of seasonings, cooking time and heat, etc., to ensure that each dish can maintain stable quality and taste in different branches and under the preparation of different chefs.
