BDA streamlines approval for food chain firms
"As a chain operating company, after we obtained the certificate, we can achieve instant approval for new stores in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area (BDA), which greatly saves our opening time." Kang Biwei, head of Beijing Starbucks Coffee, happily made this statement after receiving the "Comprehensive License Qualification Certificate" for food chain enterprises.

The policy that Kang Biwei enjoys is the BDA's pilot reform for food chain enterprises.
The pilot reform innovates the registration modality, allowing one food chain company to set up branches while getting registered just once.
In this reform, in addition to the food chain enterprises, the BDA also issued similar policies for medical device wholesale businesses, conducting pilot projects among medical device wholesalers.
