"i'll give you 100 yuan to take me to a cleaner restaurant nearby."

this is the opening line of a type of video that has been popular on tiktok recently, in which bloggers from all over the country randomly find a food delivery rider, pay him, and then ask the rider to take him to a nearby, cleaner restaurant.

since takeout is closely related to health, such videos usually have a lot of traffic. at present, the douyin topic "clean restaurant food search" has received 18,000 engagements and 460 million views.

in the video, some riders lead the blogger to find a hidden gem, while others think for a long time and finally say they can’t think of a clean shop. one rider said after rejecting the blogger’s invitation, “the shops nearby are basically all bad. there is a shop over there that is so dirty that i don’t even want to pick up the takeaway.” this type of video is also highly discussed. on the one hand, the riders would rather refuse the red envelopes than recommend the takeaway and are praised by netizens for being “conscientious.” on the other hand, many users are worried about the health problems caused by dirty takeaways. “local accounts feel like the sky is falling when they see this video.”

as staff who understand the food delivery industry and have contact with multiple businesses on the front line, food delivery riders have their own advantages in food safety supervision. in addition to using riders to find clean shops like the blogger mentioned above, more and more regulatory agencies are also asking riders to act as supervisors of food safety.

on september 10, the shenyang municipal market supervision administration launched the "snap shot" campaign for food delivery riders, encouraging food delivery riders to immediately use their mobile phones to shoot and report any food safety hazards or violations found during the delivery process. each food delivery rider will have a separate points account, and the food delivery riders will participate in the event to provide risk issues. after confirmation by the local regulatory authorities, 1 point will be automatically accumulated. riders who participate in the event and accumulate more points will receive job promotions, honorary awards, and corresponding rights and interests protection. in assessment items such as attendance rate and customer ratings, the rider's activity points will also be used as a bonus item to encourage them to participate more actively in food safety supervision. for bad reviews or delivery delays caused by objective factors, the agent will exempt the rider from liability based on the rider's activity points, effectively reducing the burden on the rider.
