Chapter 54: The First Idea of a Food Delivery Service!
At the same time, in the office of the Aituan Network in Nanyuan Apartment.
One call after another.
"Is it Aituan.com?"
"Hello, why can't I register?"
"Hello, I bought a group purchase coupon, how can I prompt the verification code is incorrect?....."
Today is the first day of the official launch, and with the arrival of the evening rush hour, the landline of Nanyuan Apartment has almost been blown up.
Some couldn't register, some had the wrong verification code, some merchants didn't recognize, and many problems broke out at the same time at night.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the phone finally fell silent.
"Lulu!"
"Let's take a break and try the Pizza that Tang Huan bought!"
Lin Chen tore off a piece, put it on a paper plate and handed it to Xue Lulu, who was almost lying on the table.
"Boss, give me a bottle of water!"
"My mouth is dry, I feel like I've never answered so many calls in my life like I have today!"
"Hey, fortunately, we made all kinds of preparations, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to cope with it alone!"
Xue Lulu said, first took a bottle of Nongfu Spring handed by Lin Chen, and took a big sip.
After breathing a sigh of relief, she began to taste the PIZZA that had been handed over.
"This pizza is good!"
"Durian-flavored pizza, I like to eat it the most!
Xue Lulu praised while eating.
She knew that this was the pizza that Tang Huan had bought on his bicycle.
Although the pizzeria is not far away, it took twenty or thirty minutes to get back.
"Tang Huan!"
"How did you feel after riding this trip?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"Nothing! Anyway, I ride every day, even if I have to run ten times!"
Tang Huan smiled and disagreed.
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Hearing his words, he had a new touch on Lin Chen.
In later generations, it was the riders who brought about the prosperity of the food delivery industry.
"Tang Huan!"
"If we now announce that the pizzeria provides food delivery services within a five-kilometer radius, do you think it is feasible?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.
He asked very suddenly, and Xue Lulu and the others present were a little flustered.
Only, Tang Huan's eyes flashed with excitement.
"That's a great idea!"
"If it were me, I'd rather spend an extra five yuan and eat hot pizza at home!" Tang Huan said, he was the first to read Lin Chen's thoughts.
"That's right!"
"We just want people to eat hot food without leaving home!" Lin Chen nodded knowingly.
"Boss!"
"I don't think that's realistic, right?"
Xue Lulu wondered.
She is well aware that most of the restaurants near the Nanling Campus and the main campus of Northern Normal University are still waiting for customers to come.
I didn't even think about delivering food to my door.
Even if you want to, I'm afraid there is no one to make a special delivery.
"Lulu!"
"I know your concerns, but we have to believe that as long as people have needs, the market will one day meet this need, and the first one to take this step is the winner!"
"Today, we are going to be the first to take this step!" Lin Chen said with a swear.
"Boss, what do you want to do?" Listening to Lin Chen's words, Tang Huan was also excited.
He agreed with Lin Chen's idea.
Demand is the biggest driving force for enterprise innovation, and with demand, there will inevitably be supply!
The point is, what do they do?
"I have a vision!"
"First of all, on our website, we have a special label for restaurants that can provide takeaway services, so that people can identify them at a glance!"
"Secondly, we first found convenient takeaway restaurants such as Dumpling King, Pizzeria and Fast Food Restaurant near the school as the first batch of pilots, and then recruited some students to work as part-time delivery workers. ”
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he paused slightly and quietly looked at everyone present.
Everyone is thinking.
After being silent for a few seconds, Yue Xiaoxiao was the first to question: "Boss, do you think anyone is really willing to be a part-time delivery person?
Hearing her words, Xue Lulu and the others also nodded.
Undoubtedly, they share this confusion.
Lin Chen was not surprised.
"Xiaoxiao, you're thinking very well!"
"But I think there will be a lot of people who are willing to come to be part-time riders, we might as well do this first, for each order delivered, charge 5 yuan for food delivery, we don't charge any fees for the time being, all the proceeds to the riders, for early promotion!"
"In the vicinity of the school, a part-time rider only needs to deliver 20 orders a day for 100 yuan, which is definitely not a difficult task!" Lin Chen explained.
He knows very well that the delivery fee of 5 yuan for a single order is indeed a bit expensive.
However, in the early stage, when there are fewer people ordering takeout, the cost will naturally be higher, and as the number of people gradually rises and the market heat increases, the cost will gradually dilute.
But for now, all he needs to think about is opening the market first!
Perhaps, it is to create a new supply model, so that the era of takeaway will come early!
"Okay!"
"I agree with the boss, and I'm willing to try to set up a delivery team near the main campus of our Spring City University of Science and Technology, give it a try!"
Tang Huan stood up and was the first to agree.
He felt that trying it on the main campus of Spring City Institute of Technology had the advantage of being in the right place at the right time.
Chuncheng University of Technology is close to the main campuses of Chuncheng University and Northern University, and the nearby student resources are abundant.
Many students like to sit in their dorm rooms and play games on weekends and evenings.
Sometimes a dormitory needs to order several dinners, and there will never be a shortage of orders.
"Very good!"
"Courage, we need your courage right now!"
"So, now it's up to you to plan this thing, we still have to sign a labor contract with each of the part-time riders, and we must buy an insurance policy for each of them!"
"Linfang, you and Tang Huan discuss matters related to the contract, be sure to think carefully!"
Lin Chen said and looked at Chen Linfang not far away.
For Tang Huan's voluntary move, Lin Chen was very appreciative.
He needs such a person, not willing to be a soldier, but wants to be a general.
Expand your territory with him!
Of course, Lin Chen also has some concerns, what he is most afraid of is some accidental injuries, especially the car in Chuncheng is already driving very fiercely, once there is an accident, it will be a devastating disaster for the company and the rider.
So, he specifically asked that every rider be given an insurance policy.
"Don't worry, boss!"
"I will definitely draw up the contract with Sister Lin Fang, and I will also study which insurance is more suitable during the holidays!" Tang Huan said confidently.
"Good news, Boss!"
"Today, the number of group purchase coupons has exceeded 1,000!"
At this moment, Chen Linfang cheered in surprise.
A thousand!
That's their goal today!
It's a small goal, but it's one step closer to a bigger goal.
