Chapter 381: Field Trips
Early the next morning, Chen Xiaoyi got up early as usual and drove out before eight o'clock.
She heard Li Wan say that Lin Qiang is very sleepy, and if there is nothing particularly important, he basically sleeps until he wakes up naturally every morning. After driving out of the community, Chen Xiaoyi decided to go to Lin Qiang's own breakfast chain first, and according to the approximate location provided by Li Wan, she first drove to Renmin Road, where two catering companies first opened breakfast restaurants.
Although it was the weekend today, Chen Xiaoyi saw that there were still many diners in the two breakfast restaurants, and there were still six or seven customers queuing up in front of the cash register to place orders. She drove around the city of Yangzhou again, and was lucky to find several breakfast chains with uniform logos, and it seemed that the business of each breakfast shop was quite good.
Chen Xiaoyi stopped in front of one of her restaurants and pretended to be an ordinary diner queuing up to place an order.
The girl at the cashier is very skillful, and it only takes an average of more than ten seconds from the order to the money when the keyboard is tapped. According to the designed program, you only need to quickly enter the code and quantity, and the display screen in the kitchen can also display the order details synchronously, and the guests only need to hold the list and wait for the number to be called.
Chen Xiaoyi ordered a plate of steamed pork ribs and a bowl of pork red porridge, and just waited for an empty seat when she heard the waiter calling her order number. She carefully calculated the time, and when she was in line, there were five more guests in front of her, and they had three statements to pack. From queuing up to placing an order, to finding an empty seat, it took less than five minutes in total, and the steamed noodles and pork red porridge I ordered were served.
Although the steamed noodles here are not as good as what she saw in the tea restaurant, and they are not served with green cabbage heart, after Chen Xiaoyi tasted it, she felt that the steamed noodles here tasted even better in the tea restaurant, and it tasted more fragrant and smooth, but the price was only one-third of that in the tea restaurant.
Chen Xiaoyi saw that the young men next to her each had a bowl of porridge and two plates of steamed noodles, and they ate deliciously, while other old people or girls, the amount of one dish of steamed noodles and one bowl of porridge was just right.
Chen Xiaoyi observed while eating, and in the five or six minutes of her meal, more than a dozen guests had already made orders, and a few of them still packed a few portions of steamed noodles and carried them away. At this rate, you can sell at least 100 percent of steamed noodles per hour on average! If you come down early, can't you sell 500 or 600 servings?
After eating breakfast, Chen Xiaoyi looked at the time, it was already 8:45, and then drove to the headquarters of Gaoqiao Catering Company. She is also a person with a strong sense of time, especially due to her profession, she has a very accurate grasp of time, and when she came to the catering company, it happened to be nine o'clock in the morning.
"Miss Chen is very punctual. Lin Qiang has always admired punctual people, and said with a smile.
Chen Xiaoyi habitually looked at her watch and said, "I'm sorry, I made Mr. Lin wait for a long time, but fortunately, I wasn't late." ”
"I just stopped the car, too. Let's go, I'll take Miss Chen to taste our steamed noodles again. Lin Qiang said.
Chen Xiaoyi hurriedly said: "I have already eaten it in your breakfast shop, and it tastes really good." ”
"Really, then I'll take Miss Chen to the second floor first. ”
Lin Qiang led Chen Xiaoyi to the training heart on the second floor, first let her familiarize herself with the whole process of the catering company, and ran back to the restaurant downstairs to have breakfast.
Chen Xiaoyi didn't expect Lin Qiang to run the catering company so formally, no wonder he was so confident in this project, she just finished reading the process posted on the wall, and Lin Qiang returned to the training heart after breakfast.
Lin Qiang once again explained to her the procedures and process of joining, and asked her if she had really decided to join their catering plan.
"Of course, I have already called my cousin and cousin, they came by car from the county seat in the morning, and now they are almost at the city bus station, I told them the address here, and asked them to take a taxi, which should be there within half an hour. Chen Xiaoyi said.
"Well, on behalf of the catering company, I would like to officially welcome Ms. Chen to join us. Lin Qiang smiled and stretched out his hand to her.
Chen Xiaoyi glanced at him, blushed, and shook hands with him gently.
"I want to know, according to the price of five yuan per plate of steamed noodles in your breakfast shop, what is the gross profit?"
Lin Qiang smiled and said: "If you just calculate the cost of the steamed powder itself, it should be more than one dollar, of course, this is only the cost of our own chain store, and the franchise store has to import ingredients from our headquarters in a unified manner, the cost is slightly higher, about two yuan." ”
"Wow, isn't the profit per plate of steamed noodles as high as 60%?" Chen Xiaoyi exclaimed.
"That's just gross profit, excluding labor, shop rent, water, electricity, gas, etc., every time the franchise store sells a plate of steamed noodles, it can probably have a net profit of about two yuan, of course, this needs to have a certain sales volume as a guarantee. If you can sell an average of 400 dishes of steamed noodles a day, plus the profits of those porridge products, it is conservatively estimated that the net profit can reach about 1,000 yuan per day. Lin Qiang said.
Chen Xiaoyi has been to the breakfast shop today to observe on the spot, and feels that the goal of 400 dishes a day is not difficult to achieve, and excitedly thinks that if she chooses a good store location and opens two stores at once, she will not have a net profit of up to 60,000 yuan per month, even if she gives her cousin a high salary of 20,000 yuan per month, she can also have an income of 40,000 yuan.
Lin Qiang led Chen Xiaoyi to the office, poured her a cup of hot tea, and called Lin Hui and Long Qiang over and introduced them to her, saying that in the future, you can directly find Lin Hui for matters related to joining, including site selection, store design, decoration, staff training, etc., and you can directly find Long Qiang for matters such as food supply and steaming powder technical training.
"Now our catering company is actually managed by the two of them, Lin Hui is my brother, and Long Qiang is my junior classmate, and he is also the real founder of this steamed noodles. I myself am rarely involved in specific matters, and only do some planning things. Lin Qiang refilled Chen Xiaoyi's tea and said.
"Thank you. I heard Li Wan say that she and Xiao Zhang, as shareholders, have never been involved in the affairs of a catering company. Chen Xiaoyi said.
Lin Qiang said with a smile: "Not to mention those two guys, after taking the money out and buying shares, they left it alone, pushed everything to me, and threatened me that they could only succeed, not fail, and said that if they messed up, I would pay them double the money." Are they some scoundrels, you say?"
Chen Xiaoyi also smiled: "Mr. Lin, you are a capable person who works hard, and you should be happy to have two beautiful girls who trust you so much." I also envy them for having a partner like you, sitting there and making a steady profit. ”
"In fact, when I started this catering project, I was also thinking about whether I could do something for the folks in my hometown. It's just that I have a stinky problem, no matter what I do, I always want to make it perfect, don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and many times they laugh at me for being whimsical. Lin Qiang said with a smile.
Although Chen Xiaoyi has not had in-depth contact with Lin Qiang, he has heard about his various deeds from Li Wan for a long time, and he can make such a big move in Yangzhou in just two years and become the guest of the main leaders of the city, so he naturally has his advantages.
"This is the office of your catering company?" Chen Xiaoyi said after looking around at the room of less than thirty square meters.
"Yes, this is the office and finance office. Our catering company has not been established for a long time, and the staffing is not complete, so usually, there are only Lin Hui and Long Qiang in the office, and they have to take care of the bookkeeping work. If your cousin wants to, she will work here in the future, and the third and fourth floors are staff dormitories. Now the employees of the catering company are all from our countryside, and everyone gets along well. Lin Qiang introduced.
"Well, Mr. Lin's treatment conditions are very good, I told my cousin on the phone, and she was quite satisfied. As Chen Xiaoyi was talking, her mobile phone rang, and it was her cousin Chen Ruikun calling, saying that they had arrived outside the gate of the catering company.
Lin Qiang and Chen Xiaoyi came downstairs, and saw two young men and women standing outside the gate from a distance, Chen Xiaoyi waved to them, and the two young people rushed over.
"This is my cousin Chen Ruizhen, this is my cousin Chen Ruikun. This is Mr. Lin of the catering company. Chen Xiaoyi introduced.
Lin Qiang saw that this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses really looked a little similar, twenty-three or four years old, his sister Chen Ruizhen was petite and exquisite, Chen Ruikun was more than half a head shorter, sweet, pure, and fair-skinned, and Chen Ruikun was also white and clean, wearing a pair of glasses, and still had some bookish air.
Everyone returned to the office, Lin Qiang briefly introduced the company's situation to Chen Ruizhen, and reiterated the treatment conditions and work arrangements, "If Miss Chen has no opinion, I don't know when she can come to work?"
Chen Ruizhen glanced at her cousin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin." I have to go back to my original unit next week to hand over the work and complete the relevant procedures, and it is estimated that it will take a week before I can come over, is that okay?"
"No problem, welcome Miss Chen to our catering company, I will keep this position for you. Lin Qiang said.
Chen Xiaoyi took Chen Ruikun to visit the training heart, and under the leadership of Lin Qiang, she went downstairs to visit the workshop, and then said goodbye to Lin Qiang and drove her cousin away from the catering company.
Lin Qiang explained the situation to Lin Hui and Long Qiang in detail, and asked them to help Chen Xiaoyi open the franchise store as soon as possible, and said that after the "Food Interview" program was broadcast, there would be more guests who would consult the franchise, so that they could make various preparations.
