Chapter 16 Business at Chen's Hotel is booming
The Chen family restaurant had to close at 8 o'clock in the evening, because all the crayfish were sold out, not the 500 catties that were promised yesterday, but the whole 1,000 catties, which made the vendors who sent the crayfish smile so much that they couldn't close their mouths.
It started at 10 a.m. and ended at 8 p.m., and it didn't even stop much in the afternoon. The popularity shocked everyone.
Fortunately, Lu Weihong has experience, and when he saw that the business was booming like this, and the hotel was obviously understaffed, he decisively took out the ancient spring water and exchanged it for a cold drink for every employee to drink a cup to relieve fatigue, otherwise they would have to take it all off today.
Small cities have the advantages of small cities, especially Kecheng, which is a city built with the textile market as the core, and a little thing can spread quickly. The business people in the market like to gather in groups, and they can chat together when they have nothing to do, not only can they inquire about the business experience, but some gossip news will also spread as soon as possible.
When the Chenjia restaurant launched a free trial version of crayfish, because of the freshness and flavor of the ancient spring water, no one who has eaten it does not forget it.
What is not easily obtained, is the best.
If it weren't for the lack of food supplies and the lack of staff in the store, the consumption of crayfish today will be far higher, don't forget the power of supper.
After Lu Weihong promised to increase her salary, the staff in the store went home happily.
The cleaning staff was still cleaning, and Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Baogang were cleaning up the tables and chairs at the door. Today, even the parking lot at the entrance is full of tables and chairs, but fortunately, the management of the city in 2002 was not strict, and the city management in 2020 will let you close the door in minutes.
Chen Heming wrote a notice telling him that "the lobster is sold out today due to the booming business, and the crayfish will be served as usual tomorrow, welcome to come", because there is still a steady stream of customers coming from all over the world to taste the delicious taste of the legendary Chen's crayfish.
When everything was over, the family of three returned home, and Lu Weihong locked today's sales into a safe and prepared to save them tomorrow. I went to the room again to look at Chen Qianer, who had fallen asleep at home alone, and returned to the living room.
Lu Weihong said with some excitement: "Lao Chen, son, guess how much our family's turnover is in a day today?"
"Thirty thousand?"
"Forty thousand?"
Lu Weihong patted his thigh and said, "Haha, sixty thousand." The gross profit is around 30,000. ”
Chen's father was dumbfounded, Chen's mother was triumphant, and only Chen Heming was not shocked. It's not that Chen Heming pretends to be X, it's really that Chen Heming doesn't know that in this era, the turnover of a small restaurant in a day has reached 60,000, which is a very amazing number.
Although this turnover was not uncommon in later generations, the removal of materials and labor, this nearly half of the gross profit, was also very staggering in later generations.
The main reason is that the price of Chen's crayfish is set high. A pound of crayfish in ordinary restaurants will not exceed 25 yuan at most, and the crayfish of the Chen family are priced at 35 yuan for large ones and 28 yuan for small ones because they have confidence, which are more than the market price.
Especially the shrewd Lu Weihong, the crayfish was already popular when he saw the tasting before, and he no longer hesitated to give a discount to the official business, and decisively canceled the 20% off promotion. As a result, it was full from the moment the door opened, and Lu Weihong really sold it at the original price according to Plan B.
This kind of profit cannot be replicated by other stores at all, and the crayfish of the Chen family, and even the other dishes and drinks of the Chen family, are unique.
For those who like good food, the price is affordable, and the delicious enjoyment is not available in other restaurants.
"Dad, Mom, the first thing tomorrow morning is to recruit people, judging from this general trend, our store's business is a foregone conclusion. Today, there is a shortage of people in every link of the store, and at the beginning, everyone can accept this hard work on the high salary, but after a long time, the fatigue will come out, which will not only affect the work efficiency, but also the service attitude towards customers will deteriorate.
There will be warriors under the heavy reward, and our salary is 30% more than that of other people's families, which is enough for us to recruit people, cooks, apprentice helpers, waiters, and another cashier. Tomorrow, I will tell the old employees in the store and the new employees to be recruited, and at the end of the month, different amounts of bonuses will be given according to the amount of turnover.
Second, our store needs to be further transformed. Because of our current hotel area limitations, the second floor is a private room, and the first floor should be changed to a small long table, a table of 6 people, more people can be put together with two tables.
In this way, there are more seats in the store, and the turnover rate can be increased. The parking lot at the entrance should be officially opened up as an outdoor dining table. But my dad has to go to the urban management department to have a relationship. ”
Chen Baolin nodded and motioned for his son to continue, while Lu Weihong had a smile on his face, not as serious as before.
"The third, now in May, is about to enter summer, summer crayfish is the most popular, so from May to October, in these months, we will focus on crayfish dishes, the variety of dishes is reduced, not only can save costs, reduce the ordering and cooking links, the focus is to improve efficiency. For example, as soon as the customer sits down, he orders a 10-pound crayfish, and the other dishes are actually not so important, they are all added.
The fourth, tomorrow's purchase, the big lobster and the small lobster each enter half, mixed together, the unified price is 35 yuan. No longer distinguish between large and small prices, which can not only improve profits, but also reduce intermediate links, simple and clear, everything is efficiency first.
Today is only 1000 catties, I estimate that it will increase later, I heard that crayfish shops in big cities are doing well, and there are more than 2000 catties on a good day.
Our store is unique in Viet Chau and has great potential. Dad, you must prepare the ingredients and don't run out of stock. At present, it seems that the supply of 2 companies is not enough and it is not insured, and we will add a wholesaler tomorrow.
Mom and Dad, these are some of the things I can think of at the moment, do you have anything to add?"
Chen Baolin and Lu Weihong glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of relief. The son has grown up and is better than himself, and there is nothing more joyful than this.
The family finished the conversation and washed up and got ready for bed. Chen Heming came to his sister's room, looking at his sister's sleeping appearance, Chen Heming wanted to laugh a little, but also a little sad.
In her previous life, her daughter looked like an aunt in terms of appearance and temper. Seeing the appearance of the little sister in front of me, I missed my daughter very much in my heart......
The next day, Chen Heming rushed into the classroom in a hurry, just in time for the teacher's roll call, Pan Ye in the front row was very dissatisfied. No way, I woke up a little overslept in the morning, and I was almost late when I came with a horse and whip.
Human inertia learns to sleep lazily after only a few days of rebirth.
The first class in the morning was "Biochemistry".
The lecture teacher is a charming young woman, tall, draped in big waves, like a modern girl, and her voice is very good, in her previous life, she was the goddess in the minds of the boys in the class.
In this life, Chen Heming also admires the old man's vision in his bones, and the charm of the biochemistry teacher is the best in medical school.
But the content of the lecture is not charming at all, and even a bit of a heavenly feeling, in his previous life, the only course in Chen Heming's university was "Biochemistry", which was sad.
After listening to a class, Chen Heming knew that he was going to be bad, and he probably couldn't pass this course, so he decided to accept the reality, give up treatment, and think of a way to take the make-up exam.
After class, Pan Ye sent a text message and asked why he went early in the morning?
Chen Heming replied: "I slept at home last night, and I just came over in the morning, our restaurant business is booming, you wait to be a young grandmother." ”
After a while, Pan Ye came back: "Young grandma doesn't want to, you still have to wait and see how to deal with the student union's check on your absence last night." ”
Chen Heming thought it was amazing, and someone in the medical student union dared to check his own bed, and he grabbed the big hippopotamus and asked what happened last night, only then did he realize that the problem still lay with Fang Zhidong.
It is estimated that someone reported last night, and the surprise inspection was mainly based on the school's student union. As a result, it was found that Chen Heming did not return to the dormitory on time, Fang Zhidong wrote down his name and said that he was waiting for punishment, with a bad smile on his face, and he knew that he had a bad idea at a glance.
Chen Heming didn't care what the punishment was, because the final punishment would definitely be issued by the hospital, but from the teacher to the student union in the medical school, who didn't know that he was the little cousin of the dean, the kind of in-law.
Chen Heming did not hide his relationship with the dean from the first day he entered the school, just to prevent anyone from opening his eyes to trouble him.
The best way to prevent trouble is actually to show your identity in advance, although it is fun to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, isn't it fragrant to fake a fox and a tiger?
Of course, most ordinary students don't know about this situation, and Chen Heming is not so arrogant that he talks about the fact that the dean is his second brother.
Dean Chen Hesheng was forced by the love of the old men in the family for Xuan'er, or to protect the interests of the family's relatives, he has always been extremely protective of Chen Heming. Including later participation in work, he was very concerned about Chen Heming's promotion and title promotion.
So Chen Heming decided to go and talk to his second brother at noon. Ran over and asked his little girlfriend if he was going to meet the dean together? Pan Ye was a little angry when he heard this, isn't it just that he has checked his bed less once, and as for being so strict? Even the dean was shocked.
Chen Heming smiled and said, "It's not the dean looking for me, it's me looking for the dean, and I'll let you meet the future second uncle." ”
Pan Ye blushed and slapped Chen Heming, but if she really wanted to see the dean, she was still the "second uncle in the future", and she didn't dare to go to death.
On the phone between classes, President Chen Hesheng was working in the affiliated hospital, and Chen Heming returned to the place where he had worked and struggled for more than ten years.
A sense of familiarity arose......
