After getting off the train, Wang Hong went to Guandong's house, and Lao Tan went home directly.
It was already dark, and the streets were brightly lit.
At this time, the night market at the intersection of Songshan Road and Chuanjiang Street was very lively, selling everything. Vendors set up stalls on the street, selling vegetables, fruits, daily necessities, cooked food, and clothes---
----Screams and hawking sounds came and went.
The stalls pushing barbecue skewers riding on donkeys are lined up, occupying the leading position in the market. The unique barbecue smell of cumin chili noodles wafts out, tempting people's desires. Especially young men, women and children, they have gathered around each stall.
Riding around on the donkey, eating in his mouth and holding it in his hand, his eyes were still staring at the food roasting on the stove.
Lao Tan walked through the night market and walked into the community. Before going upstairs, he called Lin Yan and asked if he could bring some food downstairs. Lin Yan said that he was busy now and had not got off work yet. He had to go back at ten o'clock, so there was no need to bring any food.
vegetable.
The son didn't come back from the fifth sister's house, so Lao Tan was alone at home. After entering, he packed up his things and saw Lin Yan installed a computer and printer, and made the bedroom look like an office. He thought that this woman was crazy, bringing her work home.
Do it, be dedicated enough.
He wasn't hungry and didn't cook. He lay on the bed and rested for a while.
Yanhua knew that Lao Tan was back today. Yesterday, Yanhua and Yanzi signed a lease contract with the landlord and paid one year's rent. She originally planned to have a meal with Lao Tan tomorrow and stop by the store to check it out. But she couldn't bear it and was about to open a restaurant.
Excited and worried, I wanted to talk to Lao Tan.
For Yanhua, this is the biggest investment in her life. It's okay to make money, but what if she loses money? The family has a total of more than 200,000, so investing 180,000 in one go is not a small amount.
She never thought that she would open a restaurant and be the boss. She just wanted to be a quiet housewife, a qualified housewife, serve her husband well, take care of the family well, and live an ordinary life.
When Lao Deng had a woman outside, although he did not think of divorce, he had an idea in his heart that he could not live a plain life like this. If he had something to do like other women and did it well, Lao Deng would
Deng would not take himself seriously and dare to look for women outside?
She has something to do, can earn money to support herself, can be financially independent, and have a voice in family life. Of course, she doesn't necessarily want this voice, she just wants to prove herself.
Lao Deng supported Yanhua in opening a restaurant, and he did not hesitate to spend 180,000 yuan on her, regardless of whether he would make money or not. He mainly wanted to make his wife happy, and at the same time atone for his sins. Man, he always feels that his family has no money.
Wild flowers are fragrant, but no matter how good the wild flowers are, they will eventually decline. The ones that can accompany you as you grow old are the domestic flowers that have gone through ups and downs with you.
After experiencing the initial family crisis, Yanhua gradually forgave Lao Deng, and Lao Deng found this lost happiness even more precious.
In ordinary life, we may not care about the little things in ordinary days and regard them as inevitable. Only after losing them can we learn to cherish them and realize that that is the happiness that people pursue.
When Yanhua decided to open a restaurant, with the support of Lao Deng and the encouragement of her friends, her heart warmed up. She felt that opening a restaurant was not a big deal. If others could open it, she could open it herself, not to mention that she was not alone, and there was Yanzi.
When I was looking for a house, I was very eager and wanted to find it right away.
When I signed the contract and paid the rent, I was very excited, thinking that I could finally do it. After the contract was signed and the money was given to others, I started to feel nervous.
It was all an idea before the money was paid. After the money was paid, it became a reality, and the pressure came with it - the restaurant must be opened or not.
Now I put all my hopes on Lao Tan, so I couldn't wait until tomorrow and wanted to see him today and talk to him about the hotel. So I called Lao Tan and called him out. At the same time, I called Lao Deng and Yanzi.
Feng Shimin, five of us have a meal together.
Lao Tan knew that it was the hotel's business to have dinner with him, so he asked: "When will the decoration be done after the Chinese New Year?"
Yanhua glanced at Yanzi and Feng Shimin, and Feng Shimin said: "Get ready to start construction on the sixth day of the lunar month."
Yanzi said: "You have to be present for the decoration, we don't know anything."
Lao Tan asked: "Have you found a decoration company?"
"I found a friend of mine who does decoration, and he came to do it," Feng Shimin said.
Lao Tan asked again: "Have you decided what style to wear?"
Feng Shimin said: "I like Chinese food. Ours is a dumpling restaurant. It's better to be more antique."
"Chinese style is suitable for dumpling restaurants, but if it is antique, the cost will be high. The overall environment is antique, and the tables, chairs, and benches must also be antique, and they must be solid wood. The best is maroon. Such a set of antique tables and chairs is the third element of modern minimalist style.
Times, you have to think carefully to avoid exceeding the budget." Lao Tan reminded.
Yanzi was a little hesitant. She had not planned to invest too much. After hearing from Lao Tan that antique decoration was more expensive than modern decoration, the first thing that came to her mind was money.
"I mean simple decoration is enough. The guests come to eat, not to see the decoration." Yanzi said.
Feng Shimin disagreed with Yanzi's statement and retorted: "Decoration is very important. Now when people go to restaurants to eat, they first look at the environment. If the environment is good, they will be willing to enter, but if the environment is bad, they will not be willing to enter. And if the decoration is unique and attractive, we don't care about anything else.
Guandong people are a ready example. Needless to say, everyone knows what their food is like. It is no different from a small restaurant, but there are many customers every day, and they all know that it tastes bad. Isn’t it because their decoration is unique and attractive?
?"
Lao Feng's analysis is correct. The decoration of Guandong people's houses in Santaizi is indeed unique. Many people go there for the environment. There is no doubt about it. Not only that, some owners of farmhouses go to Guandong people's houses before decoration.
Visit and learn, and learn from other people’s decoration styles.
Lao Feng's view was recognized by Lao Deng, and the two men had the same view.
Yanhua did not express her own opinion, and she agreed with what Lao Feng said.
Lao Tan expressed his opinion: "Let's call the decorators to the site tomorrow to have a look, and then ask them to make two renderings, one modern and one Chinese. Take a look and see which one is easier to decorate.
It is estimated that the renderings will be released after the year, but without delaying things, we can first install the kitchen, do water supply and drainage, and install water and electricity."
Lao Feng said: "Brother Tan, you are the professional in this, and you directly make the decision. What should I say? I communicated with Lao Deng before you came back. Our opinions are only for reference. You have to make the decision. When Lao Deng goes to work, I
We can't always be in a hotel here. Although Yanzi and Yanhua are the bosses, they don't know much about it, so they have to rely on you for everything."
"I'll leave the hotel to you. Since we trust you, we won't talk too much. Just do what you say. Even though I've never opened a restaurant, I know how to be a boss. I've told Yanhua and Yanzi a long time ago.
, you are in charge of the hotel, you can't say everything to others, if everyone wants to say a few words, then it won't be a mess."
"Lao Deng and I are responsible for paying, and after the store opens, we are responsible for bringing customers into the store. We don't talk much. Yanzi and Yanhua are responsible for collecting money, and the other is responsible for logistics. They can help when they are busy, but they cannot go up to manage. Don't just arrange it.
After the work is done, the two of them feel it's inappropriate to go up and talk nonsense. That won't work. The employees won't know who to listen to, and sooner or later they will become obscene."
"We have discussed these things, so we can do your job. What can I say, if they can't do it without you, you have to help me, even if you don't, I will depend on you."
After speaking, Lao Feng picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine with Lao Tan. Lao Tan put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Feng, you're welcome. If you can't do anything else, the hotel is okay. Don't worry about that."
Lao Deng said: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Tan."
When Lao Tan got home after dinner, Lin Yan hadn't come back yet. She was a little worried and called again. Lin Yan said it would still be an hour and told Lao Tan to go to bed first without waiting for her. The work unit had a car to take her back.
Lao Tan didn't sleep. He was sitting at his desk thinking about Yanhua Hotel.
I haven't seen the house yet, so I don't know what the layout is like. The design of the kitchen can only be a rough idea. He plans to design the cold dishes and noodles as open stalls so that guests can see them as soon as they come in. The dumplings, in particular, must be placed in a conspicuous place.
, guests can directly see how to wrap, how to cook, and how to steam through the open glass. All operations are visible, which can give guests a hygienic, safe and secure dining experience.
You don’t need to have too many types of dumplings, just six. If you have too many, you won’t be able to spoil the brand. Don’t chew more than you can chew. Wang Hong is now mixing the stuffing, kneading the noodles, steaming, frying, and boiling. There’s nothing wrong with ordering the dumplings face to face. Then add some toppings.
With three dumpling makers and one steamer and fryer, the dumpling room is perfect for five people.
Based on preliminary calculations, based on a daily turnover of 6,000 yuan, it is not a problem to sell dumplings for 1,500 yuan. The work efficiency of each person is 500 yuan, which is an ideal situation in a provincial capital.
Now the average efficiency per person in provincial capitals is 400 yuan, in Beijing it is 500 yuan, in Shanghai it is 640 yuan, and the national average is 480 yuan. Relatively speaking, the south is higher than the north.
For cold dishes, it only takes one master and one assistant. There shouldn’t be too many dishes, twelve dishes are enough. The estimated daily sales are one thousand yuan.
Twenty hot dishes are enough, and two chefs bring two cutting boards. If the dishes are small and do not need to be cooked, there will be an odd job lady.
Two large pots of stew are designed for the open stall, which are stewed by the chef in advance and sold by the odd job lady.
Estimated sales of hot dishes are 2,500.
In this way, the kitchen costs 5,000 yuan per day, and the front desk sells drinks for 1,000 yuan per day, which is a profitable state.
There are a total of 14 people in the kitchen including dishwashers and vegetable pickers. The front desk manager, bar counter, waiters, waiters, and cleaners total 15 people. The employee salary is less than 70,000 yuan, and the minimum turnover is 180,000 yuan per month.
, the overall gross profit margin is 50%, and you can earn 20,000 yuan.
Control it at 20,000 for the first three months, don’t go too high. During the opening period, you need to give discounts, give away gifts, treat guests, and take care of relationships. Don’t focus on money first. Retaining customers is fundamental.
What you give out is money, and what comes back is profits and a loyal customer base.
Cooking a restaurant is like making friends. Do it in a down-to-earth manner, operate with integrity, provide genuine products at reasonable prices, provide enthusiastic service, treat customers as family members, treat customers as if they are at home, and enjoy the same treatment as at home. If you are willing to come, business will naturally be good.
Don't haggle over things with your guests. Make sure your guests feel like they're taking advantage when they go to the bar to check out after eating and drinking. Originally, everything felt fine after they finished eating, but when they finally paid the bill, they felt unhappy because of the few dollars. This is
I don't know how to do business. This situation is the same as "no one agrees with moving a gold mountain" - it is not a thankless thing to suffer.
Lao Tan thought for a while and felt a little sleepy. He saw that it was almost ten o'clock and Lin Yan hadn't come back yet, so he went to bed first.
