The dumpling market in 2019 is indeed good. Taking the provincial capital as an example, the average daily turnover of five well-known old dumpling restaurants, Laobian, Hongji, Fuji, Lujiangchun and Wanghouyuan, increased by nearly 10,000 yuan, especially Hongji.
Remember, the daily turnover of a single store reached 150,000 yuan, which is enviable.
Ah Qiao, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qinghe Heirloom, and Xijiade chain dumpling restaurants belong to the second echelon, and their profits have also improved significantly. Due to the small store area, the turnover of a single store cannot be compared with Laobian, Hongji
Compared with old stores like this, the advantage is that they have more stores, and they all add up to a lot of sales in a day.
Due to the good market, hundreds of new dumpling restaurants, large and small, were opened throughout the provincial capital in the first half of the year. This does not include those restaurants that have been renovated. If they are all added up, there are hundreds.
This is true in the provincial capital, and it is true in other cities as well. Dumpling restaurants are extremely popular for a while.
Lao Tzu said: If you want to be weak, you must first strengthen it; if you want to take something, you must first give it to it.
This is an old saying, and the old saying must have its truth, but people often fail to see this in the face of interests and benefits. They like vested interests and speculation, and are unwilling to make long-term plans.
In fact, the profits of the catering industry have always been flat. Where do those huge profits come from? If there are, catering people will become rich, and people all over the world have to work in catering.
The principle is the same, if you take a stone and throw it high, the stone will fall when it reaches the highest point.
The rise and fall of stocks are also parabolic, just like the trajectory of a thrown stone.
If you want the stone to keep rising, you need to have infinite strength, which is like a myth. But how can such strength be found in the world? It is better to save some energy and continue to bless the stone. Don't seek the highest, but seek stability.
So is it profitable to open a restaurant?
Make money, but you have to be able to drive.
Again, opening a restaurant is the same as being a human being.
If you are a kind person and have good moral character, you will have more friends. On the other hand, if you open a restaurant with integrity, use genuine ingredients and good taste, fair prices, and send gifts with a smile, you will have more customers.
A good location must be easy to manage, and good management must be good character.
A good project must be easy to operate, and good operations must have good processes.
The marketing of any dish or service is ultimately the marketing of character, without exception.
Any good process is based on standards, and standards depend on people. Good people have good standards. Bad people have no morals, so where can standards come from.
You see, no matter whether it is a big shop or a small shop, whether it is successful or not, the bosses who are bad are those who have bad morals and are scolded by their own employees. Although this is not absolute, it is 70% or 80% likely.
When all those virtuous bosses make money, the reason is simple - employees say yes, customers say yes, and they make and spend money in the same way, so why don't they come here?
A businessman pursues profit and divides the profit into good and bad, just like a thief has his own way, it all depends on how he is done.
Lao Tan is not a saint, to put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary cook. No matter how noble his thoughts are, it cannot be achieved. To reach this level today, he just wants to have a clear conscience.
In early August, Lao Tan came to Qingdao after training the management of various stores in Suzhou.
The people who picked him up were Sister Tang, Sister Zhao, and a man, about fifty years old, who was Sister Zhao's current man.
Lao Tan and Sister Zhao had not seen each other for ten years. They were very excited when they met. They didn't know where to start what they wanted to say. They looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
Sister Zhao's appearance has not changed much, she is still the same, but she is more energetic than before and has the charm of a mature woman.
Lao Tan stepped forward and hugged Sister Zhao. At this moment, only hugging can better understand the missing and express the feelings between each other.
Sister Zhao shed tears and looked at Lao Tan happily, looking up and down.
"Where have you gone? Why did you come to see me," Sister Zhao said, wiping her tears with her hands.
Sister Zhao's words made Lao Tan feel hot in his heart, and he said with a silly smile: "Isn't this coming?"
"Why are you so fat?"
"Eat, eat at the restaurant."
"Eat less, being too fat is not good."
"Well, listen to sister."
"Still bald------"
"I'm used to it, it's been all these years------"
Sister Tang asked Lao Tan to get in the car. In the car, Sister Zhao asked Lao Tan many questions, including his family, wife, children, what he has been doing these years, what his mother is like, and how his health is. Where does he live now? How big is the house?
Have you bought a car? When I finally asked about my health, the car arrived downstairs at Sister Zhao’s house.
This is a higher-end community, and you can tell by looking at the environment.
Sister Zhao's house is on the tenth floor, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It is very spacious. Looking at this big house, Old Tan felt that Sister Zhao's life must be very good, and he felt a lot relieved.
There was a young man and woman in the house, who were Sister Zhao's daughter and son-in-law, and they were busy in the kitchen. After entering the house, Lao Tan and the others hurriedly came out of the kitchen to say hello, then sat down and made tea and water.
After sitting down, Sister Zhao continued to ask about Lao Tan's physical condition. Ever since she learned from Sister Tang that Lao Tan had cancer, she had been thinking about it and wanted to know what to do immediately.
Lao Tan told her about her situation, but Sister Zhao was still worried.
"Have you been checked again recently?" she asked.
"I checked, nothing's wrong," Lao Tan said.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay." Then he said, "It's scary to death, but you have to take good care of it."
"Um."
"Come back and stay with me for a few more days. Don't leave in a hurry. Let's have a good chat."
"Okay, stay a few more days."
Lao Tan didn't stay longer. He stayed for three days and then left, returning to the provincial capital.
Although I miss Sister Zhao very much, and Sister Zhao also misses him, I missed him as soon as I met. Three days is not long or short, it is just right. I have said everything that needs to be said, and I have understood everything that needs to be understood.
Okay, everything is fine.
No matter how good a friendship is, it is impossible to stay together forever. When you see the other person's good intentions, you will let it go, so as not to worry too much in the future. What's more, Sister Zhao has business to do, and Lao Tan also has something to do.
Sister Zhao brought Lao Tan a lot of sea cucumbers, abalones, shark's fins, and three bags from the shop. If it wasn't enough, she rushed to the pier in the morning and bought fresh oysters, prawns, and crab roes, packed in oxygenated foam boxes.
Got two boxes.
"You can eat the sea cucumbers and abalones by yourself, and wait for the prawns and crab roes to be given to the children. They are fresh," Sister Zhao said.
"Too much."
"What's so much? It's not much. When you run out of food, call me and I'll mail it to you. Oh, you're so annoying. You just stayed for three days and then left. It feels like your butt is on fire."
"I haven't been home for more than half a year. I miss my child------"
"Why do you want children? If I were your sister, why would you leave?" Sister Zhao pretended to be angry.
"Haha, you are my biological sister. I will come back when I have time."
Sister Zhao took Lao Tan's hand and said emotionally: "I don't have any relatives anymore. Apart from my cousin, I am my younger brother. You must visit me when you have time, oh——"
Sister Zhao burst into tears as she spoke and hugged Lao Tan hard, reluctant to leave.
Lao Tan got on the high-speed rail.
The train started to move, and two lines of hot tears flowed from Lao Tan's eyes, instantly blurring his vision ------
The mobile phone placed on the small table in front of him rang. Old Tan wiped his tears and picked it up.
The WeChat message sent by Sister Zhao said: Brother, sister is reluctant to let you go, but she can’t keep you. You are not in good health, so remember to smoke less and drink less, don’t stay up late, and take medicine on time.
I don’t mean anything else, just send a red envelope to wish my brother a speedy recovery and a happy life!
There was a ding on WeChat, and Sister Zhao transferred 10,000 yuan with the words "I wish my brother a speedy recovery" written on it.
