1. Naming by flavor. Some restaurants not only include surnames and regions in their names, but also try to highlight their business content and specific flavor characteristics as much as possible. For example, "Old Beijing Noodle King" which serves old Beijing noodles, "Jinshan Cheng Chongqing Hot Pot City" which offers authentic Sichuan cuisine, and "Gongdelin Vegetarian Restaurant", etc. Customers can immediately understand that it is a restaurant specializing in vegetarian food.
Restaurants named by flavor can not only make customers clearly understand their flavor characteristics at a glance, making it convenient for customers to choose dishes, but also save time for customers, allowing them to dine with clear objectives.
2. Naming by surname. Naming restaurants by surname has been around for a long time, such as Tan Family Cuisine, Roast Meat Ji, Goat Shank Li, and Pie Zhou, etc. These stores not only highlight their surnames in the store name, but also reflect their specific business content in the name. For instance, Roast Meat Ji may not be clear about what exactly it is, but it can be known that the boss is surnamed Ji, and it is a restaurant specializing in Beijing roast meat. Similarly, Pie Zhou is a restaurant run by Boss Zhou, selling pies and porridge. This naming method allows customers to clearly understand the specific business content through the store name.
3. Naming by place name. Restaurants named after districts, counties or streets of a city are not uncommon. The advantage is that it highlights the region, helps understand the geographical location and direction of the restaurant, making it easier for customers to find. For example, Zhengyangmen Wine Building should generally be located around Qianmen Street. Similarly, Dian'anmen Snack Shop and Xijiao Kou Restaurant must be located around Dian'anmen and Xijiao Kou respectively. However, it should be noted that due to the repetition of place names in Beijing, special situations should be carefully considered. For example, "Sanyuhe Roast Duck Shop", there are at least two places called Sanyuhe in Beijing. One is east of Zhushikou, known as Dong Sanyuhe in Chongwen District, and the other is west of Shehui Road, known as Xi Sanyuhe in Xicheng District, with a distance of more than ten kilometers between the two places. Binhe Road and Shuncheng Street also exist in multiple locations in the city. In the past, each city gate (nine outer gates and seven inner gates) had roads called Binhe Road and Shuncheng Street. To make it convenient for customers to dine, when naming restaurants, it is better to inform customers of the detailed address and direction of the restaurant.
In addition to the above methods of naming restaurants, there are many other contents worth mentioning for reference. Such as naming by numbers from one to ten and from hundred to thousand. For example, "Yijingju", "Liangyič½©", "Sanxian Dumpling Shop", "Si Hai Restaurant", etc. There is also the directional naming method, such as East, South, West, North, Center, Up, Down, Left, Right, etc. There is also the metaphorical naming method, such as Fu (Blessing), Lu (Prosperity), Shou (Longevity), Xi (Happiness), etc. Of course, there are many other ways to name restaurants, but the chosen name should preferably have a connection with the specific connotation of the restaurant and be practical.
