Chapter 434: The Cheapest Lunch Box

Why do we charge this extra dollar, it is a compensation for them, a reward for their hard work and love. Many mom-and-pop shops, in order to catch up with this order, their own business is not done, we have a Liuzhou screw powder shop there, a pair of old men and aunts, they just stopped the store and closed the business, specializing in boxed lunches, and they made 500 copies in one afternoon today. You say that they don't earn money to serve the disaster area, can we treat them badly? I would like to call on other cities other than Nanping to also participate, and the minimum number of boxed lunches per meal here is at least 10 million. Three meals a day is 30 million servings. Anyone who participates in the lunch box action or donates materials to the disaster area can sign up at the local Xiang Charity Foundation. We will arrange for the transportation force to be transported to the resettlement site in the disaster area as soon as possible. Let me tell you a secret, this time we used a spaceship to transport the lunch, and the speed is very fast, and we will definitely arrive at the resettlement point in the disaster area within one hour nationwide.

This person in charge is Comrade Xiaohong, one of the two beautiful secretaries of Sun Ting, the president of Xiang's beauty. She is the only one who can speak on behalf of Xiang, and only she can reveal more inside information.

As one of President Sun's personal secretaries, he was originally closely behind Sun Ting. This time, she was assigned to be a principal. He is responsible for the coordination of all activities in the disaster area, and he is also the director.

The beautiful reporter of the TV station once again put the camera on the 6 yuan lunch box purchased by the victims: Comrade, do you think the 6 yuan is worth it?

Victim A: Equal value, where to buy 6 yuan of boxed lunches now, those on the east coast, want to eat 6 yuan, it is really not easy, a small bowl of rice costs 2 yuan, the remaining four yuan is enough to eat, only enough for a spoonful of eggs and fried tomatoes, the boss is still unwilling to add more soup! A roasted pepper costs 1.5 yuan, 4 yuan is only enough to buy 2 roasted green peppers, and the remaining one dollar plus a little vegetables. Poached eggs cost 1.5 yuan each, and 4 yuan to buy two. You said that 6 yuan is really enough to eat on the coast. Could it be that a migrant worker who has worked hard all morning can't just order two poached eggs and a bowl of rice? If you look at the boxed lunches here, if you let those coastal lunches see it, it would be strange if they were not ashamed to die, I am ordering chicken fried bamboo shoots now, but not fried chicken with bamboo shoots, you have to distinguish clearly. There is more chicken here and less bamboo shoots. On the coast, it is fried chicken with bamboo shoots, but there are not a few pieces of chicken in a dish. Here's a dish with a few bamboo shoots in it. Look at the chicken again, I just tasted it, this chicken is definitely not those feed chickens that cost a few dollars a pound, and the taste of grass chicken is almost the same, you can distinguish it when you eat it, feed chicken send, no strength, no chicken taste, grass chicken tastes fragrant. You also know that the current grass chicken costs at least more than 20 yuan a catty. Look at it again, my chicken fried bamboo shoots are a lot of portions, at least a dozen pieces of chicken. I also ordered a braised green bean and a winter melon. Hehe, a big plate full of dishes. Ordinary people basically have enough to eat, even if they are migrant workers, they are almost enough. Look at this rice again, Bai Jingjing's forehead, not those lunch boxes, using cheap rice, yellow not to mention, but also hard forehead, I used to ask them why the rice is like this, they said that this is steamed rice is like this, now I eat the rice here to know, it turns out that it is not the problem of the pot, it is the problem of rice, the rice they use to make the lunch box is the cheapest aged rice, of course, even if it is given to the best pot, it can't make good rice.

The reporter sent this video back, and of course it was also broadcast on Nanping TV.

Suddenly the whole country fryed. There is a lot of heated discussion on the Internet, criticizing the profiteering of fast food restaurants. But the catering people immediately came out and confronted them, saying that they couldn't make money. Think about a fast-food restaurant with a better business, even if the daily turnover is 10,000 yuan! But this is still a fast-food restaurant with a good business, and if each person consumes an average of 20 yuan, then it will have to have 500 customers to enter the store, right? In the past, most of the restaurants relied on these institutions to eat. Now it can only be consumed by people at the top of society.

Take the few chains that are now popular, what soy milk, the cheapest rice bowl is tomato and egg rice, 13 yuan per serving. The most expensive is the braised lion's head rice at 25 yuan, how many waiters do you need in a store? There are two shifts of 2 people per shift, and the morning shift is from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., working 8 hours, and the afternoon shift is from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., which is also 8 hours. The cash register needs one person, that's also a shift, like a waiter, you can change shifts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the kitchen also needs a chef, don't you! There is also a kitchen assistant (cutting vegetables and side dishes), 1 dishwashing, 1 miscellaneous (making noodles or making chaos, early, etc.). They are divided into morning classes and afternoon classes. This is still the most labor-saving situation. Each class requires 7 people, and a minimum of 14 people per restaurant. What you see is the huge profit of the hotel, and you don't see that there is a lot of labor expenses alone, except that the chef gives 5,000 per month, which is the least money, and many chefs are tens of thousands. The rest of the people are each counted as 2000, okay. Even the salary expenses are more than 30,000 yuan. Now a third-tier city with a slightly better location of the storefront, a month tens of thousands of normal, this still depends on the amount of area, 150 square meters, that is to include the kitchen, the business area is about 120 square meters, 10,000 a month is not negotiable.

Utilities, gas bills, and so on! Sometimes you have to issue tax bills and so on. Even if it is a turnover of 10,000 a day, it is not much, but there are not many that can achieve a turnover of 10,000 per day, which is generally about 4,000 to 5,000. 150,000 a month, aside from the fixed expenses of 50,000 yuan, and the cost of meals, this Yonghe soybean milk boss earns 10,000 yuan a month. If the business is really so good, it will not be that this Yonghe soybean milk shop will close one after another.

Not to mention the upfront investment of the whole store, it doesn't cost money to decorate, it doesn't cost money to buy kitchen equipment, does it cost money to buy bench seats! Take Yonghe soybean milk as an example, it takes at least 400,000 yuan to open such a store. These upfront investments are calculated into the cost of the future.

Many people make a mess of food and beverage outlets, and if the business is good, it is just to earn popularity. The main reason is that the rent and upfront investment are too large. It will take two or three years to recover the cost. Those equipment are expensive to buy, and when they are closed, they are bought as garbage.

When Xiang Ming saw this big discussion, he thought a lot in his heart, mainly because the cost of opening a restaurant is too high now, no matter whether the boss makes money or not, the public is making money steadily. Open a point, from the chef to the waiter, the cashier has to apply for a health certificate, a physical examination once a year, and the health department has earned this money. If you want to get an approval for installing a billboard, it requires a lot of people and costs a lot of money, and the city has made money. Firefighting equipment needs to be installed. The fire brigade of the public security bureau has made money, and the armed police and fire brigade have also made money. To open a store, you need to apply for a health certificate, a business license and a tax certificate, although it is now a three-in-one certificate, it does not cost much to apply for a license.

Xiang Ming thought that Nanping would also face these problems in the future, and the cost of eating a meal would basically account for more than half. It's these messy expenses that add to the cost. Why do people only charge 5 yuan for eating the same bowl of rice noodles at roadside stalls, and the amount of people is still enough for a big bowl, and when you go to a rice noodle shop, like those time-honored brands with the cheapest, they cost 9 yuan a bowl. That's the difference. People don't earn as much as this roadside lady who collects 9 yuan a bowl. Think about the fact that a bowl of rice noodles in a time-honored rice noodle shop was only 3 yuan a few years ago, and it is not that the price of meat has increased much, but meat is not as expensive as before! The raw materials of rice noodles have not risen much, so why do they have to sell a bowl for 9 yuan now? Where the cost lies, everyone can know if they do the math. The rate of growth of prices must be strictly controlled, that is, the rate of increase in house prices must be controlled. Fortunately, many of the storefronts along the street are Xiang's real estate. This laid a solid foundation for Xiang Ming to make the next plan. Do more snack cities, snack streets, these convenient centralized catering. It's also a matter of controlling the cost of eating. Build more façade houses and rental houses that benefit the people. This is Xiang Ming's great goal. To create a place with a high happiness index, it is not only that the people here live well, with high income and good environment, but more prominently, that the consumption level is not high. In a metropolis like the Red Sea, how many people dare to say that they have a high happiness index there, although they get tens of thousands of salaries every month. If you can't afford to buy a house, you can't afford to eat, you can't afford to consume high-end gadgets, in a word, money is not spent!

A person with a salary of tens of thousands of yuan is not as good as a person in a third-tier city with low consumption who earns 4,000 yuan a month! At least people are happier than people in a big city like him, that is, they have money in their pockets, the consumption level here is low, and the money is worth spending.
