The emergence and development of service industry;
With the development of commodity production and commodity exchange, service industry appeared after commerce. The production and exchange of commodities have expanded people's economic exchanges.
In order to solve the problems of people's accommodation, transportation and goods storage, restaurants, hotels and socialized mass production have created high productivity, developed social division of labor, and prompted some labor serving production in production enterprises to be gradually separated from the production process (for example, the maintenance workshop of a factory has gradually become a repair enterprise).
The service industry has gone through a long historical process from waiter to service production. The social nature of service industry also changes with the development of history.
In the pre-capitalist society, it mainly served slave owners and feudal owners, the capitalist service industry aimed at profit, and the relationship between capitalists and service providers was employment. The socialist service industry is based on public ownership of the means of production and aims at improving people's material and cultural living standards. It is an industry that truly serves the whole society.
