When Chai Yan heard this, he understood and asked: "What the eldest brother wants to ask is how to retain those guests, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I want to ask! Brother Xian, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Cong nodded excitedly.
Chai Yan nodded and said, "I guess so."
When Zhao Cong heard that Chai Yan had a solution, he immediately looked overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xian, tell me what to do quickly. I'll have someone prepare it right away!"
Jimo Qiao also became interested and asked impatiently: "Brother-in-law, do you really have an idea? Tell me quickly, I want to know too..."
Yuan Yuan also looked at Chai Yan with interest, wondering what good ideas he would come up with.
Chai Yan said: "Brother, when the restaurant is full of guests, do you let the subsequent guests take their numbers and queue up?"
"Brother Xian, you don't need to tell me this. We have already asked guests to queue up, but it doesn't work very well. After waiting in line for a long time, they can't wait to leave." Zhao Cong said distressedly.
Chai Yan emphasized: "Brother, I'm talking about queuing up to get the number. Did you let them get the number?"
"Get the number?" Zhao Cong looked at Chai Yan doubtfully.
Jimo Qiao thought that Zhao Cong didn't understand, so he interrupted and explained: "Uncle Zhao Guo, don't you understand how to take the number? It means queuing up in order, issuing number plates, A, B, C, D, one, two, three, four, in short, to keep the guests in order.
Please queue up and come in to eat in an orderly manner!”
Zhao Cong immediately said: "Miss Qiao, can I not understand this? Although we do not issue number plates to guests, our people also let guests in on a first-come, first-served basis, but this is of little use. The one in front
You can wait no matter what, but the ones behind you will still leave after a long time."
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao turned to look at Chai Yan and asked, "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Simple, give some benefits to the customers in line so that they have a reason to continue waiting."
"How can I give you a favor, brother Xian? Please be more careful..." Zhao Cong looked serious.
Chai Yan thought for a while and said: "We can give some discounts to the guests at the checkout for the guests at the first to tenth tables, and then also give some discounts to the guests at the eleventh to twentieth tables.
The dish fee...but! Because they have to wait longer, they have to get a slightly higher discount than the first ten tables of waiting guests. But remember, it must not be too much, just that much.
A little bit is enough, this is to divide the interval..."
"Oh, I understand, I understand, and what about my dear brother?" Zhao Cong nodded seriously.
Chai Yan said: "Then it's very simple. Tables twenty-one to thirty are one interval, thirty-one to forty are one interval, and so on. People who wait further back will get more discounts, isn't it?
Can you retain some customers?"
Jimo Qiao thought this was a good idea and asked, "Sister, I think this method is good, what do you think?"
Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "I don't understand these, but it sounds pretty good and should work."
Zhao Cong frowned and nodded, then stopped and thought for a while, then said: "Brother Xian, it's not that I'm saying your idea is bad... It's just that we don't lack many guests at all.
Money, the little favors given in line, they won't take it seriously at all."
Chai Yan said with a smile: "Brother, I understand this. You are right. Rich people will naturally look down on the small profits you get in line, but you must have forgotten that big shots with status want to come here to eat.
, shouldn’t they reserve seats in advance? Can they still come and queue up to eat? The method I’m talking about is aimed at ordinary people who are a little more ordinary than those people. You know, they are the main people who spend money in restaurants.
crowd!"
Zhao Cong couldn't help being stunned, then he slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "Oh my god, how could I forget this? Brother Xian is right, those who can get the number and queue up are definitely ordinary people with status and status.
How could those big shots do this? It’s too embarrassing!”
Chai Yan added: "Brother, in addition to this method, you can also think of many other methods, such as pairing couplets and guessing riddles... From time to time, you can have people come up with couplets and let the guests match them.
In the second line, if anyone is right, you can give them a dish or a jar of wine.
Or you can offer small discounts; you can give points and small gifts to those who guess the riddles correctly. In short, you have to find ways to attract and please guests, so that they like to come and come often. As long as the guests keep coming,
Are you still worried that Wangyue Tower’s business will not last long?”
After hearing this, Zhao Cong was convinced by Chai Yan. He immediately stood up, took a step back, bowed his hands and said, "My dear brother, I have a clever idea. I admire you very much!"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Brother, what are you doing? Isn't it just that you came up with a few ideas? We are all good brothers, as we should!"
Zhao Cong finished the ceremony, sat down again, and said: "My dear brother, this is too modest. Anyway, I understand now that in this world, no matter what you do, you must have a brain, especially in business, you are a brainless person.
No matter how hard you work, it can only be said to be a fool's errand. In the end, the ones who come out on top are those who are smart and know how to use strategies..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Cong suddenly changed the topic, stretched out his hand and said to Chai Yan: "...Here, just like my good brother, excellent and top-notch!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed, and even Chai Yan himself couldn't hold it back.
After the laughter subsided, Jimo Qiao asked: "Uncle Zhao Guo, my brother-in-law has given you so many good ideas, why don't you thank him properly?"
Zhao Cong's face instantly became serious, and he nodded and said: "Miss Qiao, what you said is quite to the point. I really need to thank you dear brother..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Cong asked Chai Yan: "Brother Xian, what are you lacking in? Or what you particularly like... Just mention it, big brother will definitely do it!"
Chai Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I like the moon in the sky, can you help me pick it off?"
"Ah! The moon?" Zhao Cong was stunned: "This, this... I'm afraid..."
When Yuan Yuan heard this, he knew that Chai Yan was talking nonsense and said, "Uncle Zhao Guo, don't listen to him. He is just kidding you."
Zhao Cong immediately said: "Brother Xian, stop joking and tell the truth. I can't let your help go in vain."
But Chai Yan shook his head and said with a very insistent attitude: "No, I want the moon in the sky, I am not interested in anything else..."
Zhao Cong looked at Chai Yan and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I finally understand. You keep asking for the moon, but in fact you just don't want to accept my things, right?"
Chai Yan then nodded: "You just understand, brother!"
"Then why is this big brother so embarrassed?" Zhao Cong said.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're all our own people... How about this? Today's meal is yours. Just treat it as a thank you to me. I'll leave it to the head office, right?" Chai Yan said.
Zhao Cong was just about to nod, but suddenly he realized: "No, brother Xian, this meal should be regarded as the big brother's!"
As they were talking, shopkeeper Qiu knocked on the door and said that the food was ready...
Before long, the table was filled with a whole table full of colorful dishes, all of which were Wangyuelou's specialty dishes.
Chai Yan looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but laugh: "Shopkeeper Qiu, you brought so many dishes, are you actually trying to burst our bellies?"
Shopkeeper Qiu said: "How could it be possible? Mr. Chai, these are our signature dishes. You guys should try every one of them. If there are any shortcomings, we will correct them immediately. Boss, do you think this is true?"
Zhao Cong nodded vigorously and said with a very serious expression: "You are absolutely right! Come on, dear brother, younger brother and sister-in-law, Miss Qiao, everyone use your chopsticks and eat open!"
