# Economic Daily commentator article: The takeaway war should come to an end

The article states that the takeaway war affects not only the accounts of restaurant owners but also the livelihoods of ordinary people. When the "ballast" of dining consumption loses momentum due to price wars, the chill felt by the overall economy will ultimately be transmitted to every micro individual. Healthy competition should be a benign contest of technological innovation, efficiency improvement, and service optimization. Healthy competition should be a benign contest of technological innovation, efficiency improvement, and service optimization, rather than a money-burning game relying on capital accumulation, and certainly not a zero-sum game that uses monopolistic positions to control traffic and force alliances. Let takeaway prices return to a reasonable range, let the restaurant industry break free from the dilemma of dying without subsidies and chaos with subsidies, and let market competition shift from a money-burning contest to a service-oriented competition; this is the true benefit to enterprises and the public. Price wars cannot go far; involution competition has no winners. The takeaway war should come to an end.
