Expo catering system ready for worldwide guests

The public catering system is also nearly ready for its first test run.

The 85-thousand-square-meter public catering area has more than 100 restaurants and can provide as many as 32 thousand seats everyday. It is estimated that a tourist will spend six to seven hours at the Expo Park each day, which means he or she will have to eat at least once inside the park.

The public catering system is also nearly ready for its first test run.

The price of a simple single meal ranges from 10 to 100 yuan, which, compared with local restaurants, is relatively cheap. And for families who want to take their time to enjoy specialities, restaurants featuring eight traditional cuisines are available.

Chen Miaoshi, director of Hunan Restaurant, said, "The decoration is almost finished. We will begin our operation on April 20th."

The public catering service provides customers with a full range of meals including snacks, fast food and traditional Chinese dishes.
