Instant-Retail Restaurant Alliance Network: A Six-Step SOP for Starting in One Commercial District
Regional alcohol distributors do not need to begin instant retail by opening a street-facing store or covering an entire city at once. Start with one commercial dining district: a micro-fulfillment hub holds inventory, restaurants provide table QR-code sales entry points, and riders deliver drinks to the table.

Jiuxiaojiu, a liquor retailer in Luohe, Henan, has built more than 400,000 registered users on its own app through 22 directly operated stores—roughly one-sixth of the city’s resident population.
