"I have said before that one or two new coffee shops will appear in 5-chome every once in a while," Mouri Kogoro told Koshizu Nanatsuki about the situation with a casual expression, "Every time a new shop opens nearby,
When the new coffee shop opens, Poirot's business will be affected and it will be deserted for a period of time. After the customers are no longer interested in the new coffee shop, some customers will come back, and Poirot's business will get better."
Mao Lilan also felt dumbfounded, and concluded, "So, whether Poirot's business is good or not has a lot to do with whether there is a new coffee shop in Wu-chome. The extent to which the business in the store is affected is also related to the new coffee shop opened nearby.
It depends on one store or two stores.”
"However, Poirot's food is delicious and affordable, the car can be driven here, and the surrounding area is relatively clean. There will be many customers who will choose to go to Poirot again after experiencing the new coffee shop," Conan said with a smile to Azusa Enomoto.
, "So I think the boss must be confident in the operation of his store. Ms. Zi doesn't have to worry too much. As long as she persists for a while, the business will get better again."
"Even if the boss is confident, he can't just do nothing," Azusa Enomoto sighed and said melancholy, "And I can't help but be anxious. If I encounter a new coffee shop with reasonable prices, delicious food and constantly launching new products,
Shop, the customers will definitely not come back, and Poirot may go bankrupt. If Poirot Café closes down, I will lose this job. Our boss is so easy to talk to and pays generously. The relationship between the neighbors here is
It’s very harmonious, and Mr. Maori and the police officers who come here often give people a sense of security. I don’t want to lose my job..."
"That's it..." Mao Lilan looked at the deserted situation in the store and felt that Azuki Emoto's worry was not unreasonable. He looked at Chi Feichi hesitantly, "Then should we let Brother Fei Chi think of a solution? Fei Chi
Brother Chi will make a lot of special food. As long as the store has new food that is easy to make, delicious and unique, like strawberry crystal cake, and promote it, it should be able to attract customers to try it, right?"
"I've thought about it too, but we can't trouble Mr. Chi every time. Every time this kind of problem arises, we have to ask Mr. Chi for help. It's impossible for him to have so many food recipes suitable for coffee shops. This kind of business method will also
It makes me feel like a person suffering from a terminal illness, who can only rely on certain medicines to survive, but cannot completely cure it," Azusa Enomoto frowned and sighed. Seeing Mao Lilan also frowning and thinking, she suddenly realized that she had taken the responsibility so early in the morning.
Energy transfer, he quickly cheered up, "I'm sorry for complaining to you so much all at once. In fact, the store's business has been affected recently. I can also take the opportunity to be lazy for a while. It's not too bad. Everyone, please order first. I
I will prepare the food for you as soon as possible!”
"Yes..." Mao Lilan heard what Azusa Enomoto said and decided to order first, but she was a little confused when she saw the menu.
Is there anything else Poirot can order today?
Koshizu Nanatsuki also looked down at the menu and turned on the analysis mode, "Poirot's recent guests should be regular customers who come here for breakfast. No one comes here for small gatherings, so pizza and salad will appear at friends' gatherings.
Food is not prepared in the store, and there is no need to consider it. There are also foods that require the use of a variety of ingredients, such as raw vegetable chowder, and seafood dishes that test the freshness of the ingredients, especially those that require fresh ingredients and are difficult to make.
Very troublesome clam cream chowder…”
Azusa Enomoto: "..."
Summarized in place.
None of those stores have it.
Chi Feichi turned to look at Azusa Enomoto and said, "Chicken bacon macaroni and a cup of black tea, please."
Azusa Enomoto nodded quickly, "No problem, they are available in these stores, I can prepare them soon!"
"Two-color sandwich..." Conan looked at the menu in Mouri Kogoro's hand and added, "If not, other sandwiches will do. If the only ones in the store are apple, lemon and watermelon, just give me a glass of watermelon juice."
"The store should prepare cake-like food..." Nanatsuki Koshizu thought about it and said to Azusa Enomoto, "Miss Azusa, if there is cake, please give me a cake and black tea."
Mao Lilan smiled at Enomoto Azusa, "As long as I'm the same as Conan!"
"Then I will..." Maori Kogoro looked at the menu for the last time, "Just eat chicken bacon macaroni like Feichi, and a cup of coffee. By the way, Miss Azusa, I also want this morning
morning paper!"
Azusa Enomoto wrote down the food ordered by the five of them, delivered newspapers to Kogoro Mori, and then turned back to prepare food and drinks.
Mao Lilan looked at the busy Azusa Enomoto and whispered, "Miss Azusa is still very motivated."
Mouri Kogoro opened the newspaper and whispered, "Maybe it's because I'm still not in a good mood and I want to numb myself with being busy."
Mao Lilan looked around the deserted store again and sighed softly, "This time Poirot seems to be more seriously affected than before. Today is a holiday, but except for us, there are no other customers."
"It's normal. In fact, Miss Zi's premonition was correct," Chi Feichi also took a newspaper and read it, without deliberately lowering his voice when speaking, and concluded very casually, "The coffee shops in the Fifth Chome area,
They all fell into slow death.”
"ah?"
Behind the bar, Azusa Enomoto's face turned pale, and the movements of his hands stopped, "Death, death?"
"Feichi, aren't you exaggerating?" Maori Kogoro glanced at Chi Feichi speechlessly and continued to read the newspaper, "Guests just go to the newly opened coffee shop because they think it's new, Poirot's stuff
It’s delicious and affordable. I think the customers will come back in a few days!”
Chi Feichi also looked at the front page of the newspaper and insisted on his opinion, "Most of the people who come to Polo Cafe are residents of Miwa Town, but now there is a shortage of customers in Miwa Town 5-chome, and even Miwa Town as a whole.
problem, and the customer base continues to be lost, so I talked about chronic death."
"Hey, Fei Chi," Maori Kogoro finally couldn't help but put down the newspaper and chatted with Ike Fei Chi seriously, "Mihua Town has developed very well in recent years. The newly built Mihua Mall last year is nearby. Mihua Town
, residents in the Aipido-machi area go there to shop, you should know this, right? The daily flow of people on that street is an astonishing number, and it only takes six or seven minutes to walk here!"
"Everyone goes shopping at Mihua Mall, and then drinks coffee at the coffee shop in the mall during the shopping period," Chi Feichi asked rudely, "You wouldn't think that after visiting the mall for a long time, someone would
Are you still in the mood to drink coffee at a coffee shop on the nearby street?"
Mouri Kogoro choked, "You are right to say that..."
"The coffee shop consumers brought by the mall are basically absorbed by the coffee shops and restaurants inside the mall. They rarely go around to Polo here to drink coffee," Chi Feichi continued, "and the mall also places some nearby
Residents are also attracted to shop there and drink coffee, and after they have had coffee, they won’t come to Poirot for coffee on their way home.”
Mao Lilan concluded, "So, not only did the mall not bring customers to Poirot, it actually took away some customers, right?"
"Yes, it's not just the influence of that mall," Chi Feichi said, "Female high school students are also a large customer group of street coffee shops. But with the development of the city, travel has become more and more convenient. Female high school students are also a large group of customers in street coffee shops.
During the holidays, I prefer to go shopping in famous business districts together, and spend money in coffee shops and dessert shops in those places. After I come back, I will not patronize the street coffee shops again."
Mao Lilan felt guilty for a moment when she thought that she often went shopping, and then asked curiously, "What about the male high school students? Boys rarely go shopping in commercial streets together during the holidays, right?"
"It is true that male high school students rarely go shopping, but they also rarely come to coffee shops to sit and drink coffee," Chi Feichi said without thinking. "During the holidays, they prefer to go to the stadium to get sweaty, and then go to nearby convenience stores.
If they buy drinks or mineral water from the store, they are not considered the customer group of street coffee shops at all.”
Mao Lilan, Conan: "..."
That seems to be the case.
"However, there are also boys who don't like running and jumping and are usually quiet, right?" Mouri Kogoro said, "Fei Chi, you should be a quiet person. In the past, you would not have an appointment with your friends in a coffee shop.
shall we meet?"
"Teacher, you are thinking too much," Chi Feichi said calmly, "I had no friends in high school."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Sorry, he really thought too much.
"Introverted, quiet men may indeed go to coffee shops to spend money alone," Chi Feichi continued, "but introverted, quiet male high school students may prefer to stay at home, drink black tea, or be alone.
When walking in the park, I have to buy bottled drinks from vending machines and drink them slowly, and then I have to talk to the clerk at the cafe, which is very troublesome."
"Is Mr. Chi like this in high school? He was really introverted," Azusa Enomoto lamented, carrying sandwiches and cakes on a tray and leaving the bar. "But I also discovered that the male high school students who come to the coffee shop to spend money are very...
Shao, I either came here with other people, or because I didn’t make breakfast at home and I had to rush somewhere in a hurry, so I just found a random place to have breakfast.”
Mao Lilan recalled the shops nearby, "In the past two years, it seems that more than one breakfast shop has opened nearby..."
"Yeah, so here, male high school students are a rare species," Azusa Enomoto put the things on the table and began to worry again, "A lot of the coffee shop's customers are really divided."
Mouri Kogoro sighed melancholy, "In the final analysis, this is also the impact of the development of the times."
"Since it is a problem brought about by the development of the times, it can also be solved by the things brought about by the development of the times, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes lit up, he looked at Azusa Enomoto and said, "Miss Azusa, Café Poirot
Has the department opened an online merchant blog?”
"Not yet," Azusa Enomoto returned to the bar with the tray, "The boss said not long ago that the registration materials are ready, but after the blog is launched, someone will regularly post new food information to the blog, and the photos will look good.
Upload food photos and pay attention to customers’ comments. The boss is worried that I can’t handle it alone, so I haven’t officially opened the blog yet. However, with the business situation these days, I have a lot of time to manage the blog. I would like to advise
The boss will open the blog as soon as possible, and I can take advantage of this time to upload photos of the food to the blog."
