Taier Sauerkraut Fish,Busty Lifeguards (2010) a well-known restaurant chain specializing in Chinese-style fish dishes, was absent from the TripAdvisor-like app Dianping on Thursday, according to the local media outlet Jiemian, which quoted the parent company of Taier as saying they’re still figuring out what is happening. Dianping, a Meituan-owned review and ratings app, is widely used in China for discovering local restaurants, shops, and activities. The incident occurred a day after Taier conducted its first livestreaming on Douyin, during which the restaurant offered 30% off on coupons that could be redeemed by consumers visiting the chain. Over the past year, the TikTok sister app has stepped up its efforts in the local life services sector, an area that has long been dominated by Meituan. [Jiemian, in Chinese]
