Chapter 231: Business is full

Seeing that the foreman was in a hurry to entertain the guests, Liu Changqing also quickly tidied up the white shirt and black bow, and walked out happily.

At this time, the four guests who came together had already paid at the bar and entered the restaurant to eat.

Liu Changqing was full of joy when he saw these four college students-like guests.

After a while, two more guests came, it seemed to be a couple, who looked like they were about twenty years old, and they should also be students.

At half past eleven, another couple of about the same age came in.

It's already eight guests!

Liu Changqing felt a little dizzy with happiness!

A few minutes later, two more young and beautiful girls came.

After a while, three giggling lads came.

In a blink of an eye, it was another couple who came in.

At twelve o'clock, there were already twenty-five customers in the store, and the first four of them had already eaten and drunk, and walked away.

New customers are still coming in.

Couples, couples, a couple and a light bulb, two couples in a group, four little girls in a group.

Damn, here are five more guys who just finished playing basketball!

By one o'clock, there were sixty-seven customers in the store!

When business was at its best before, it didn't exceed 50 guests a day, but today's lunch prime time has not passed, and there are already 67 customers!

Liu Changqing trembled with excitement, and when he faced the five young men who had just finished playing basketball, his voice trembled a little when he said welcome.

Just when I was feeling that the 9,000 yuan investment forum advertisement was very effective, three more young men came.

Seventy!

Liu Changqing had calculated his own costs before opening, and when all the various expenses were counted every day, there were 70 customers, which was almost able to break even, covering the largest rent, personnel, and depreciation.

More than 70 people, basically except for the cost of ingredients, is pure profit.

In most cafeterias, under normal circumstances, the cost of ingredients is about 30%, and if it is a very bad boss, the cost of ingredients can be controlled below 20% or even lower.

Of course, there will be a cost to the loss of ingredients, for example, after a day of business, there will inevitably be leftover ingredients, but this will be very low for experienced restaurants.

Liu Changqing attaches more importance to word of mouth, and his food cost control is about 35%-40% per person, but even so, once the day's turnover has covered the hard cost, this profit is also considerable.

Therefore, when the number of visitors reached seventy, Liu Changqing wanted to find a place where no one was there to cry.

His store has been open for more than a month, and there has never been a day when he has been able to close the balance of payments, and today is definitely a record day.

Moreover, the vast majority of these seventy people seem to be college students!

Liu Changqing deliberately asked a few young guests and found that they had all come to dine after seeing advertisements at the New Century Forum.

Liu Changqing was very excited, it seems that his last fight is really right! College students are the main consumers of his restaurant's positioning!

By half-past one, there were more than 90 customers in the store.

Liu Changqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly notified the back kitchen to prepare more when they prepared the meal in the afternoon.

The flow of customers continued until more than two o'clock, and although only a dozen customers came in the next nearly an hour, the number of customers at noon had reached one hundred and twenty!

The ecstatic Liu Changqing couldn't help but look forward to the evening, there would be one hundred and twenty customers at noon, so it should be indispensable for that night, right?

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel began to serve customers.

Today is Friday, and the peak of college students' eating out is concentrated in the afternoon.

As soon as six o'clock, Liu Changqing's hotel was already full!

This is the first time he has been fully booked since opening!

Most of them are college students, and most of them are young couples.

From six o'clock, the restaurant starts queuing for meals.

There were more and more students waiting in line outside, and at the most, there were more than 50 people in line alone.

This full house situation lasted until more than eight o'clock.

In two and a half hours, every table in the restaurant has not been idle, and as soon as the guests finish eating, the waiter quickly cleans up, and then invites the next table into the restaurant.

Fortunately, the buffet does not require much from the back kitchen, so even if it is full, the restaurant can still provide plenty of food and will not make customers wait for a long time or be disappointed.

At eight o'clock, although the number of customers gradually decreased, there were still new customers entering the store.

At ten o'clock in the evening, it was supposed to close, but it was usually nine o'clock

The whole restaurant, from the back kitchen to the waiters and cashiers, was dancing happily.

In their minds, Liu Changqing is a good boss, so they don't want the business in the store to be so bad all the time, otherwise not only the boss will go bankrupt, but they will also lose their jobs.

Now, the business of the store has turned into a profit all of a sudden, and everyone is really happy!

In addition to being excited, Liu Changqing was full of gratitude to the New Century Internet Cafe Forum.

When he came back to his senses, he immediately called Xu Yiyang, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Mr. Xu, I want to add three more days of advertising, is it okay?"

Xu Yiyang asked with a smile: "Manager Liu, how is the business today?"

"It's much better, the effect is very good!" Liu Changqing said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, I want to add three more days of advertising on your website!"

Xu Yiyang said: "It's good if it has an effect, it's okay to add three days, just according to what we said before, two and a half thousand in three days." ”

"Okay!" Liu Changqing took a look at the accounts in his mind, there was still 20,000 yuan left in the money he borrowed, and the restaurant received more than 8,000 today, and if he received 25,000, there would basically be no money left in his hand.

However, the warehouse ingredients are still relatively sufficient, and the salary will not arrive in a few days, and the restaurant has nothing to pay for these days.

So he immediately said, "I'll send you the money tomorrow!"

Xu Yiyang said: "No problem, but the advertisement is already down at nine o'clock, and tomorrow you send the money over, and I will re-launch it for you." ”

When Liu Changqing heard this, he hurriedly said: "In this case, you give me an address, and I will send you money over in a while!

Xu Yiyang said, "Okay, I'm at China Overseas Chinese University, you call me at the school gate." ”

Liu Changqing took the cash in the restaurant and rode back to his rented home nearby, ready to take the 20,000 yuan in cash from the family.

He came to Zhonghai to start a business this time, leaving his wife, children and mother in his hometown, although he opened a restaurant with an investment of hundreds of thousands, he was only willing to rent a self-built small house in the alley.

In the room he rented, the most expensive thing was a safe hidden under the board bed.

Liu Changqing took the money from the safe, stuffed it into his waist bag, then covered the waist bag with his coat, and hurried out the door.

Just pushed into the car to leave, the phone rang, and my wife called.

Answering the phone, my wife asked on the other end: "Changqing, how is the business in the store today?

In the past few days of entrepreneurship, Liu Changqing has not hidden from his wife, and the first thing he does after closing the store every night is to call his wife to report the situation.

During this time, my wife also made troubles, and sometimes I thought about giving up, but when I thought of throwing so much money in it, once I gave up and lost at least half of it, the couple was a little unacceptable.

So, the two decided that if the borrowed money hadn't improved after it was used up, then the store wouldn't do it, and they would sell what they should sell and turn around, and how much they could get back.

Yesterday, Liu Changqing wanted to advertise on the forum, and asked his wife for instructions, but his wife felt that the price was too inflated, and she didn't agree with it.

However, Liu Changqing still made the right decision, mainly thanks to Xu Yiyang's words, which let him know the failure of his TV advertising, and also let him know the advantages of website advertising.

Looking at it today, the effect is indeed immediate!

Liu Changqing rode a bicycle with one hand and said excitedly to his wife: "Today is really amazing! Today, the turnover in the store has reached more than 10,000!"

"Really?" the wife on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited.

Liu Changqing said: "Really! More than 13,000! If we follow this trend, we will be able to return to our original cost in half a year, or even three or four months!"

Hearing this, my wife immediately cried with joy.

Many times, she felt that she and her husband, as well as the savings of her husband's family for many years, might be smashed into this cafeteria that she had never even been to.

Unexpectedly, now there is really a turning point for life.

Liu Changqing said: "Wife, I won't tell you first, I have to send 25,000 yuan to the person in charge of the forum now, and continue to advertise for three days, I believe that the turnover can be a little higher!"

My wife said: "If the income of the restaurant rises steadily, hurry up and pay off all those foreign debts with high interest, you don't know that I can't sleep all night before I go to bed every day as long as I calculate this interest." ”

"Okay!" Liu Changqing said: "Every time I earn 10,000 yuan in the future, I will remit the money to you, and you will pay back the account little by little." ”

The husband and wife sighed for a while, and then hung up the phone.

When Liu Changqing rushed to the gate of China Overseas with the money, it was already one o'clock in the morning, but today is Friday, so the bedroom of China Overseas is not closed.

When Liu Changqing saw Xu Yiyang, he hurriedly greeted him and thanked him.

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "Manager Liu, we are a cooperative relationship, you contribute money and I will contribute, don't thank me so much." ”

Liu Changqing sighed and said, "You don't know how difficult my situation was before today, but I didn't expect that tonight, the business will be directly full." ”

Xu Yiyang said: "Actually, I am quite optimistic about your model, the problem now may be that everyone still needs time to get familiar with and accept, once you accept it, it will be much better, I believe that your business will be smoother and smoother in the future." ”

Liu Changqing nodded again and again: "I think so too." ”

Saying that, Liu Changqing took out the money, handed it to Xu Yiyang, and said: "You order a little money, I don't have much money on hand now, otherwise I will directly set an advertisement with you for a week, but I will take a look at the situation after these three days, and when I recover, I will come to you to cooperate." ”

"Good. Xu Yiyang took the money, put it directly into his pocket without looking at it, and said: "By the way, since your customers are full tonight, then don't put the advertisement too intensively, although your restaurant is not small, but the carrying capacity is limited after all, if it is full for several days in a row, your advertisement will be thrown out, and the converted new user restaurant will not be digested, but wasted." ”

Liu Changqing hurriedly asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Tomorrow Saturday, I will hang it for you for another day, and then wait for the remaining two days next Tuesday and next Thursday, so that the exposure of next week and next weekend can also be guaranteed to a certain extent." ”
