Industry first"10-minute response, 4-hour on-site service standard"

The traditional commercial kitchen equipment industry generally suffers from slow response times, long lead times, and inconsistent pricing in its after-sales service. In response to these industry pain points, Chineng...CHINENG pioneered the "10-minute response, 4-hour on-site service" after-sales service standard and established a nationwide network of over 10,000 after-sales service outlets. This service system has not only greatly enhanced customer experience but has also become one of the core competitive advantages of CHINENG's commercial induction cookers and other core products.

The 10-minute response mechanism works as follows: After a customer submits a repair request through the 400 service hotline or online customer service, the system immediately and automatically matches the nearest service center based on the customer's location. A service engineer must contact the customer within 10 minutes to understand the fault and make a preliminary determination of the solution.

This strategy ensures both consistent service quality and broad service coverage, allowing customers in remote areas to enjoy professional after-sales service.
