Chinese food delivery company Wu Xing has opened a new restaurant in Bucharest’s old center. The outlet, the opening of which was marked with a reception and cookery demonstration, required a EUR 200,000 investment, and is intended to boost the company’s orders and profit by 10 percent on last year’s figures. As well as 45 inside seats, the restaurant can host another 20 diners on its terrace.
The latest Wu Xing outlet joins other recent openings. Last year the firm opened a 40-seat eatery in Pipera, also at a cost of EUR 200,000. This followed another eatery in AFI Cotroceni which began trading in 2010.
Wu Xing posted a turnover of about EUR 1 million in 2011. It has been operational since 1999 and today has a staff of 150. The new restaurant, which is at 14 Strada Covaci, has launched with a series of special offers and will stage daily cookery demonstrations between 19.00 and 21.00.
