The Suzhou store's first month's turnover was 1.85 million, which is quite good for a store of 500 square meters. If it were in a provincial capital, it would be 1.3 million at best.
From the amount of money sold, we can see the consumption gap between the north and the south, and we can also see the differences in economic development.
Compared to the south, the north is not backward, but no one is developing well.
Any superstructure is built on an economic foundation. Take food for example, everyone knows that delicacies from the mountains and seas are delicious, and Moutai Wuliangye is delicious, but the prerequisite is that you have money. If you don’t have money, you can only settle for the next best thing, filling your stomach and having fun.
I don't mean to look down on people here, I'm just telling the truth.
The same is Ah Qiao. In the provincial capital, it is normal for eight people to go into a store and eat between 400 and 500 per table. In Suzhou, eight people can't eat 400 or 500, and the price is usually between 800 and 1,000, but
This is also normal.
As the saying goes, the size of your butt should wear the size of your pants. If you have money, you dare to spend. If you don’t have money, spend less and don’t compare. When you enter a restaurant, you just want to be happy and comfortable. Just eat and drink well. Don’t worry about spending more or less. There is no proof.
Of course, for merchants, the higher the consumption, the higher the price, but there is also a certain limit, and you cannot be too selective in your customers, as this can easily endanger you.
Gu Yi was quite satisfied with the sales amount of 1.85 million. Based on this sales amount, it would be less than 20 million a year. After excluding various expenses, there would be at least 200 left. Who would be unhappy?
There's a lot of money to be made.
The dumpling restaurant was doing well and had a novel format. It soon caused a sensation around the Humble Administrator's Garden. There was an endless stream of customers, and it also attracted caterers. Those with a unique vision began to investigate and planned to open a restaurant based on this model, or perhaps
Cooperate with Ah Qiao.
The first person to talk about was of course Qiao Shan.
She plans to open two restaurants at the same time, both in northern Jiangsu. One is an ordinary social restaurant like the Humble Administrator's Garden; the other is a private restaurant, high-end, mainly catering to wealthy people.
After negotiating with Gu Yi, we signed a contract and then started to select a location and prepare for decoration.
Because she wanted to build a high-end private restaurant, although she also operated home-cooked Northeastern dumplings, the current products were not up to par and the service was not enough, so Lao Tan decided to select a group of outstanding employees and send them out to study.
Over the years, Lao Tan has become acquainted with many people in the catering industry, and they are somewhat famous. It is no problem to arrange for a few employees to learn.
How should I put it? To what extent a person achieves, he will naturally come into contact with people at a certain level. In the past, the leaders of large catering groups were looked up to by Lao Tan. After these years of hard work, although they are not considered to be in the same class now,
Even though we sit together, we can still talk to each other and no longer be looked down upon by others.
In addition, now that information is developed and there is the platform of Oriental Food, catering people from all over the country always communicate together. You come to me to inspect, and I come to you to learn and improve each other. No one works behind closed doors anymore.
To put it in common people's terms, no one can ask for help from anyone.
Beijing Da Dong is the best at private kitchens and creative dishes. Lao Tan sent the five chefs he selected to study there. The private club in Chengdu does a good job and provides first-class service. He sent the people selected by the front desk to study in Chengdu.
.
At the same time, Li Shuang and Xiao Gao were promoted as regional managers and kitchen directors respectively to carry out work in Suzhou.
It's a bit early to build a central kitchen at the moment, but we have to plan for it. According to the current development rate, there will be six central kitchens by the Chinese New Year, and they will have to be built by then.
Gu Yi and Lao Tan were sitting by the small flower bed in the courtyard drinking wine. The evening breeze was blowing, which made them feel very comfortable and somewhat comfortable.
The employees haven't gotten off work yet, so the yard is very quiet. From time to time, a few honks of passing vehicles can be heard from outside the front door, accompanied by the voices of neighbors. It doesn't look like a busy city, but like the countryside.
The two of them drank some wine, chatted and cracked up, feeling happy.
"Brother Tan, are you leaving tomorrow?" Gu Yi asked.
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow, first to Hohhot and then to Baotou." Lao Tan said.
Wang Shulan's Baotou store opened, and Lao Tan had to go there.
"I still have to give you a courtesy -" Gu Yi joked.
"That's your business. People come when you open your business. If you don't go to their opening, you can be polite." Lao Tan said.
"It's what it's supposed to be. I admire Mrs. Wang very much for making trouble better than me." Gu Yi said sincerely.
From looking down on him at first to admiring him now, this change is an improvement for him.
Lao Tan took a sip of wine and said: "Actually, you two are from the same family. You have both been in society. You are both fastidious and loyal, but you are both unhappy in your relationship."
Gu Yi grinned and said: "What do you mean when relationships are not going well? It's all my fault. If I don't fool around, I can't leave, and if she doesn't mess with her husband, she can't run away.
It’s hard to have a partner.
Nowadays, young people look down on them, and those who are going through life don’t follow us. She also knows that her man cannot have followed her. It’s not that she is not good, everyone knows that she has been with boss Sun and Zhou Yujun. What can I say, her reputation is not good?
good.
I have had quite a few women over the years, they are just a passing cloud, and to put it bluntly, they have nothing to do with sleeping, and they have no life------"
"It's never too late for good food," Lao Tan said comfortingly.
Gu Yi took a sip of wine, raised his head and looked at the night sky, took a long breath, then sat up straight and said: "I will lend you your good words and try to find someone to live with so that we can grow old together."
To be honest, people at this age are no longer romantic, and their relationships begin to become deeper. Their requirements for the opposite sex are to be considerate and warm, and to be comfortable and comfortable. The more experienced people are, the more this is the case. Most people will be like this until the end of their lives. Ordinariness is
real.
The two chatted about the future development of the hotel and the central kitchen. Gu Yi said that the hotel was stable and he would have time to go out and explore. If he met someone suitable, he would talk to them and make plans to open a second restaurant.
Lao Tan said that the second house should be larger, preferably 1,000 square meters, so that 500 square meters can be used as a central kitchen and warehouse.
"There are places like this, but the rent is too expensive," Gu Yi said.
"Suzhou is no better than the provincial capital, so the rent is definitely more expensive."
"Qiao Shan opened in northern Jiangsu. I went to the south of the city and saw that the development in the south of the city was pretty good."
"Go ahead and take a photo. I guess I won't be able to come to Suzhou within two months. Also, don't worry. Just open Qiao Shan's two stores this year. Just be steady. You won't be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry. You're just here
For a month, it’s best to get familiar with the hotel. I’ve been doing this for twenty years and I still don’t think it’s good enough.”
Gu Yi thought for a while and said: "You are right, be steady and work hard to learn."
The two of them chatted about nothing but nothing, and before they knew it, it was time for the employees to get off work, and the yard became lively. They stopped drinking, packed up and returned to the house.
Lao Tan took a shower first, then sat at the table and turned on the computer to check the business conditions of various stores that day. After a while, the phone rang. Zhang Li called, saying that she and Yanhua had decided to go to Hohhot tomorrow.
After opening the Baotou store, I came to the grassland to play, relax and relax.
Zhang Li has never been to Hohhot, and it has always been her dream to visit the grasslands.
To be honest, Lao Tan was a little sorry. He should have asked Zhang Li to go to the grassland for a walk, but he forgot when he got busy.
"Okay, I will go to Hohhot tomorrow to meet and chat." After finishing speaking, Lao Tan hung up the phone and continued to read the report.
At this time Yaru knocked on the door and came in.
Yaru was wearing cool clothes today, a short-sleeved shirt and black shorts. Her wheat-colored skin was full of healthy beauty. Old Tan couldn't help but take a closer look.
Yaru didn't feel anything. She first picked up the hot water kettle and shook it, then filled the water and boiled it. Then she picked up the clothes on the sofa, including a few pairs of socks, and put them into the washing machine in the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, he opened the closet and asked, "Old Tan, what will you wear tomorrow while checking the clothes inside?"
"Whatever, as long as I have something," Lao Tan said.
"It's hot in Hohhot now, so wear half-sleeves." Yaru said and took out a blue striped half-sleeve.
"Okay -" Lao Tan agreed.
Yaru put the half sleeves on the chair next to the bed, then took out a pair of black pants, took out the belt from the drawer of the bedside table, and strung it together. At this time, the hot water kettle rang and the water boiled. She hurriedly unplugged the plug and took it.
Teapot, made a pot of tea for Lao Tan.
Lao Tan took the tea from Ya Ru and said thank you hurriedly.
"Have you been drinking?" Yaru asked.
"Well, let's have a drink with Brother Gu," Lao Tan said.
"You're still talking about quitting. If you can quit drinking, I'll quit eating too."
"I'm afraid you'll be hungry."
Yaru smiled, sat down on the sofa, closed her eyes and leaned back, with her arms spread out on the back of the sofa, stretching her waist comfortably.
Her natural movements caught Lao Tan's eyes, because the waves on her chest were really majestic and prominent.
The beauty of a mature woman is full of temptation and powerful.
Lao Tan's Adam's apple moved up and down, he swallowed hard, and his whole body felt hot.
Yaru stretched out and slowly sat up straight. She glanced at Lao Tan and found that his face was very red. She asked, "How much wine did you drink to make your face so red?"
Lao Tan felt guilty and covered it up by saying: "I didn't drink much, the room is hot."
"Is it hot? I didn't realize it. You must have been drinking." Yaru said and stood up. "Li Shuang said he would let me scrape her in a while. I'll go over first. When I go back to Hohhot, drink less. Don't forget to take antihypertensive medicine."
.”
"Hmm--don't you want to sit there for a while?" Lao Tan resisted, his heart pounding.
"It's time for Li Shuang to shout in a moment - I'm tired today. I'll go to bed after scraping her and leave."
After saying that, Yaru opened the door and went out, leaving Lao Tan looking at the door and sighing.
