In 2026, why are many American restaurant owners choosing HaiSheng Rotating Hot Pot Equipment?

In 2026, self-service hot pot and fusion Asian catering have become new growth drivers of the U.S. food service market. Continuous expansion of Chinese restaurants, Korean hot pot eateries and compound leisure catering stores has driven explosive market demand for Rotating Hot Pot Equipment and Hot Pot Buffet Equipment. According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, job vacancies dropped to 6.882 million in February across the country, with the accommodation and catering industry suffering the most severe labor gap. Meanwhile, labor costs keep climbing steadily. Difficult recruitment, expensive manpower and low service efficiency have become core challenges plaguing U.S. catering merchants, and the traditional manual food delivery model can no longer meet the demand for efficient store operation.

Against this backdrop, Rotating Hot Pot Equipment has quickly replaced manual food delivery thanks to its core strengths of labor reduction, high space efficiency and enhanced dining experience, becoming a standard configuration for newly opened hot pot restaurants in the United States. Market research shows that restaurants equipped with automatic rotating hot pot equipment can greatly downsize front-of-house staffing, cutting labor expenses by over 50% compared with traditional stores. Dishes delivered directly from kitchen to dining seats allow full self-service access, enabling a leaner operation model that effectively relieves labor pressure and lowers overall operating costs. Among numerous equipment brands, HaiSheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. from China stands out with superior product quality and a comprehensive service system, ranking as the top pick for U.S. catering businesses.

Boasting 16 years of professional manufacturing experience in rotating catering equipment, HaiSheng owns a 10,000-square-meter intelligent workshop and a technical team of over 100 engineers, focusing on independent R&D and production. Its Rotating Hot Pot Equipment and Hot Pot Buffet Equipment fully comply with U.S. market access standards and precisely cater to the operational needs of local merchants. Unlike overpriced local equipment in Europe and America, HaiSheng products hold three authoritative international certifications: UL, CE and NSF. All items have passed strict tests on fire prevention, electric shock protection and scald resistance. The NSF certification guarantees that all food-contact components meet U.S. food sanitation regulations. All indicators including material quality, circuit safety and fire protection pass local official inspections, supporting compliant on-site installation without additional rectification.

HaiSheng’s Hot Pot Buffet Equipment outperforms conventional European and American counterparts in performance and detailed design, perfectly matching the diversified demands of U.S. catering operators. The rotating chain adopts high-quality silent acrylic material, featuring smooth operation, wear resistance and ultra-low running noise. It is ideal for noise-sensitive business scenarios such as mall stores and street-front outlets in commercial districts, completely solving customer complaints caused by excessive noise from traditional equipment. In addition, HaiSheng independently developed an adjustable chain tension device, which allows flexible tension regulation to extend equipment service life and reduce later maintenance costs. It enables long-term cost reduction and efficiency improvement for U.S. restaurant operators, serving as one of the core competitive advantages over similar products.

To adapt to the diverse store layouts and flexible space designs of U.S. restaurants, HaiSheng’s Rotating Hot Pot Equipment adopts a modular combined structure for easy and fast installation. Custom layouts such as straight line, U-shape, circular and island type are available based on restaurant space, investment budget and business positioning. We deliver tailored solutions for both small community stores and large-scale self-service hot pot complexes. With a short installation cycle and flexible disassembly and assembly, the equipment perfectly supports rapid store expansion and renovation for catering chain brands, greatly shortening the overall store preparation period.

In terms of intelligence and practicality, HaiSheng’s equipment is fully optimized to fit the usage habits of U.S. catering operators. The supporting intelligent track-switching food delivery trolley system adopts advanced track conversion and transmission technology, enabling precise food delivery, automatic turning, obstacle avoidance and intelligent error correction. The built-in automatic calculation system plans the optimal delivery route intelligently to greatly boost service efficiency. Furthermore, the load-bearing platform is upgraded with anti-slip and anti-tilt performance. Reinforced protective baffles and optimized platform flatness prevent tableware displacement during operation. The system can proactively avoid obstacles and uneven road sections, avoiding sudden acceleration, deceleration and sharp turns. The optimized power control system ensures stable start, stop and steering with minimized vibration, effectively reducing soup and food spillage.

Moreover, HaiSheng prioritizes equipment cleanliness and environmental friendliness. The conveying passages and load-bearing platforms of track delivery equipment are designed for thorough daily cleaning to remove food residues and odor molecules. Reasonable ventilation devices are embedded in the equipment to facilitate air circulation, discharge residual odors and keep internal air fresh, avoiding flavor cross-contamination. The intelligent delivery trolleys support customized IP appearances such as train and spaceship shapes, adding fun to the dining experience. This helps U.S. restaurants attract young consumers, boost social media exposure and enhance customer loyalty.

Industry insiders point out that the U.S. catering sector will continue to face long-term labor shortages, making automated and intelligent catering equipment an irreversible industry trend. With four core advantages — cost performance, full certification, customized design and low maintenance costs — plus comprehensive cross-border after-sales support, standardized spare parts supply and English technical guidance, HaiSheng completely eliminates procurement concerns for U.S. buyers. Its Rotating Hot Pot Equipment and Hot Pot Buffet Equipment are continuously expanding market share across North America. Going forward, as American-style self-service hot pot and fusion Asian cuisine gain growing popularity, HaiSheng will keep delivering high-quality equipment and professional services to help more U.S. catering businesses achieve efficient operation and drive the intelligent upgrading of the North American catering industry.
