History

Huangjihuang is a Chinese restaurant brand built around the "three-sauce simmer pot" (san zhi men guo), a cooking format in which ingredients are simmered at the table with a proprietary sauce. The brand was launched in 2004 by Beijing Huangjihuang Catering Management Co., Ltd. (北京黄记煌餐饮管理有限责任公司), a platform company engaged in culinary research, restaurant franchising and chain management. From its base in Beijing, the company expanded rapidly through a franchise model, and by May 31, 2024 its global store count exceeded 600, covering more than 200 cities across every province and autonomous region of China, including Tibet, as well as overseas markets. To support this network, the company built an integrated management structure. Beijing Huangjihuang Trading Co., Ltd. (北京黄记煌商贸有限责任公司) handles the marketing and distribution of specialized supplies and proprietary seasonings required by both directly operated and franchised stores. Regional branches — Northwest, North China, South China and East China — manage market development and operations in their territories, forming a unified management network aligned with head-office functions. The company's production headquarters manufactures Huangjihuang proprietary seasonings in an industrialized process combining boiling, filling and packaging, with capacity to supply all stores. These seasonings have obtained FSSC22000 food safety system certification, HACCP certification and an export food production enterprise filing certificate. The Huangjihuang three-sauce simmer-pot operating model reflects the trend of Chinese restaurant chain development. It combines the cultural depth of Chinese cuisine with the standardization of Western restaurant operations, creating a standardized, unified, green and environmentally friendly Chinese dining format that integrates tradition and modernity, Chinese and Western food, and nutrition with low carbon. Its "three noes" philosophy — no chef, no cooking fumes, no reuse of raw materials — makes the model highly replicable. Over the years the company has achieved notable results in technology research and development and brand building, gaining recognition from various sectors of society and establishing its position and influence in the industry.
