From a commercial point of view, the domestic Chinese kebab enterprises are divided into two factions, such as Fengmao kebabs, mutton skewers and Bingcheng skewers bar from a long time ago, while the only seedlings of the southern school are wooden house barbecues that originated in Shenzhen. Founded in 2003, Wooden House Barbecue is currently mainly located in first-tier cities across the country, with nearly 100 directly-operated branches, and is a leading brand of Nanpai Chinese barbecue chain.

Whenever a new wooden house store opens, it will always attract popularity with the marketing strategy of "3 days XX discount", but I have to say that most of the branches of wooden house barbecue except Shenzhen are "a little bit less meaningful", which can be seen from the menu of Shanghai wooden house barbecue. Not only does the menu not have a special introduction to the origin of oysters and mutton, but the lineup of meals has also shrunk to a certain extent compared with Shenzhen wooden houses, which makes people wonder. In terms of production, Shanghai wooden houses are also inferior to Shenzhen, although the oysters in the two places are similar in sales and are also roasted with green onions and garlic, but the strong fishy smell conceals the fresh aroma of roasted oysters, and the taste is not good. Lamb skewers are also grilled in the standard "three lean and two fat" skewers, but the seasoning and stir-fry are slightly weaker, and diners may need to add their own ingredients. It is remarkable that the disposable tableware in the store is independently assembled, and some stores have a 35-minute countdown hourglass, and the remaining dishes will be given free of charge if the hourglass is over; In addition, oysters are sold at half price at lunch and supper for only 3 yuan each, and seafood items such as oysters and scallops are also sold at half price after 10pm.

Different from the natural wooden interior design style of Shenzhen wooden house, Shanghai wooden house adopts simple and fresh new decoration, clean and bright appearance, and the service staff are also well-trained, corresponding and timely, and the service level is roughly the same as that of Shenzhen wooden house, but for the wooden house of Nanpai barbecue seedlings, the poor quality of the product is really not able to raise its head in front of similar competitors in Shanghai, but because of its solid brand strength and management system, the future of wooden house is still promising.
