On July 29, Meituan’s official account published an article about Raccoon Canteen and stated: “We will never operate on our own and will never compete with merchants. We will only build infrastructure and help merchants connect with the resources they need, leaving traffic, brand, and sales to merchants, and leaving peace of mind, convenience, and quality to consumers.” Meituan said that after more than half a year of trial operation, since the official launch of the "Raccoon Canteen" brand in early July, the search volume for keywords related to Meituan and Meituan Takeout App has increased by more than 40 times compared to June; the overall exposure of Raccoon Canteen merchants has increased by 164%, and the order volume has increased by 60%.
