Chapter 110: The Profitability of Hot Pot Restaurants
"Hey, isn't this small, why are you here now?" opened the courtyard door and saw someone coming, Sister He's eyes were happy.
"I don't miss you anymore. Xu Fang smiled and said, "I'm here to report the good news to you." ”
"What's the joy?" Sister He asked suspiciously.
"Sister Ping and a few of them usually catch few scallops, the village chief simply recruited them to do something else, I went to the city to recruit four more people, the hands and feet are very sharp, and the number of scallop fishing will increase some. If the recruited people are reliable, I will recruit some more people in the future, and the output of dried scallops will come up again. ”
Sister He was happy in her heart, the number of scallops provided by Xu Fang recently was indeed much less than before, she thought that in a few days, she would have no income, and said gratefully: "Great, I thought I wouldn't make dried scallops in the future." ”
Looking at Sister He's relieved appearance, Xu Fang felt apologetic in his heart and said firmly: "Don't worry, I said that even if you don't make dried scallops one day, I will provide you with other ways to make money, don't worry." ”
"Hmm. Sister He answered in a low voice, tied the door, pulled her clothes, and pressed towards Xu Fang with a body full of familiar rhyme.
A sense of fullness was heard, and a high-pitched voice rang out.
"Sister He, go to the house, it's not good to be heard by others. Xu Fang whispered, and walked directly towards the house with Sister He in his arms.
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Fang came to the beach.
"Look, Xiao Fang is here!" Aunt Zhang's eyes were sharp, and she immediately shouted when she saw Xu Fang.
The villagers have been busy all day, and now they are coming ashore to weigh themselves.
On this day, Yang Chao and the four of them suffered from gains and losses in their hearts. Although they felt that Xu Fang would not lie to them, after all, they didn't see the money, and they always couldn't put their minds at ease.
At this moment, I saw Xu Fang coming over, and came over one by one with my net.
"Come, Yang Chao, the four of you will be called first. Xu Fang greeted with a smile.
Yang Chao couldn't wait for a long time and hurriedly put the scallops on the scales.
Twenty-eight pounds!
It can be seen that Yang Chao did not grind foreign workers today, but worked very hard. For the extra twenty catties, Xu Fang plans to give five yuan per catty. From the handbag, he took out one hundred and sixty yuan and handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is today's salary." ”
After taking the money, Yang Chao counted it and immediately said, "Boss, give too much." ”
"I didn't give much, forty is a bonus. Xu Fang smiled, waved at Liu Baozhu and the others, and motioned for the three to weigh them.
These three people also worked hard, and they made a lot of money, which were 26 catties, 30 catties, and 27 catties.
Everyone was paid more than expected, and their eyes were full of excitement.
"Thank you so much, boss. Liu Baozhu was a little incoherent.
"Okay, I'm tired of the day, hurry back to rest and get ready for dinner. Xu Fang waved his hand to let the four of them go back.
"Xiao Fang, will you start settling directly today?" Aunt Zhang asked curiously.
Xu Fang waved his hand and said, "No, I have to wait for tomorrow, these people were recruited by me from outside." The daily salary is one hundred and two, and the part exceeding twenty catties is given five yuan per catty, which is not much money in total, so it is simply settled directly. If all our villages settle together, the amount is too big, and the money is not enough to settle it. ”
Hearing that the price of the four people selling scallops was so much lower than theirs, the villagers felt much more balanced, and after weighing them, they went back to their homes.
Migrant workers' dormitories.
Yang Chao and the four of them sat on the bottom bed and discussed eagerly.
"The boss is really bright! It's much better here than at the construction site!" Wang Mengmin was very excited to count the money in his hand, today he made thirty catties, and Xu Fang directly gave him one hundred and seven! For him, such a daily salary is already a huge amount of money.
"The key is that it's half the life compared to the construction site. Laying bricks on the construction site, such a large brick, but also hard to knock down, it is really easy to catch scallops, just do not move on the bottom of the sea, and catch it when you see it. Liu Baozhu said with emotion.
"By the way, how did you give this bonus?" Wang Mengmin was a little curious.
Yang Chao counted the money of several people and said: "There is a bonus for more than 20 catties, and it should be an extra catty for 5 yuan." ”
"I didn't try my best today, if Ming'er can make forty catties, will he be able to earn more than two hundred!" Wang Mengmin calculated.
"Boss Xu is really a good person, I just don't know how long I can hire us, if I can work for a month, I must work hard. My eldest daughter is going to college, and I am trying to earn her tuition. Wang Ke said.
The other three people's hearts jumped suddenly, and they came out to work, who doesn't have a baby who wants to go to school? Who doesn't have a son who wants to marry a daughter-in-law?
Yang Chao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, starting tomorrow, everyone will work hard, and earning one more day is a day." ”
"Okay!" Wang Mengmin and the three agreed.
……
In the next few days, the scallops caught by Yang Chao and the four of them every day almost exceeded 35 catties, and a little more could reach 40 catties.
Xu Fang was satisfied with the working status of the four people, and planned in his heart to wait for the branch and Xiulan hot pot to open, and then recruit some people.
Soon, the 28th arrived.
Today is the opening day of Xiulan Hotel (Yunlong Branch), and it is also the opening day of Xiulan hot pot.
After Lin Xiangxue's various subtle advertisements, the people of the entire Qingyun City already knew about the opening of Xiulan.
Judging from the evaluations on various forums, the voice of Xiulan hot pot is higher, after all, the number of middle-class people is still the majority.
Lin Xiangxue and Xu Fang, although they value the development of the hotel, are very confident after all, and they are not very excited. On the day of the opening, Xu Fang didn't go anywhere, but went to sea with Zhao Hongyan.
On the contrary, it was Meng Xiaoyan, who was very worried. It was only eight o'clock, and I rushed to a hot pot restaurant in Yunlong District.
When the net was cast, Xu Fang wanted to go to the sea, but he was bombarded with mobile phone messages.
took a look at the phone, Meng Xiaoyan's girl, starting at eight o'clock, began to send messages to herself.
"Xu Fang, there is no one at the door!"
"Xu Fang, there is still no one at the door!"
"Xu Fang, Xu Fang, what to do, what to do, still no one!"
“……”
Looking at the message of swiping the screen, Xu Fang was speechless, and simply put his phone aside. Finally waiting for the time when she stopped posting, Xu Fang hurriedly replied: "Eldest sister, we opened at ten o'clock, and it's only half past eight now, who would come to eat hot pot so early!"
Seeing Xu Fang's reply, Meng Xiaoyan also realized that something was wrong, and replied embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm too excited." ”
Meng Xiaoyan's mood, Xu Fang understood very well in his heart, when the Xiulan Hotel opened, what was the difference between Lin Xiangxue and her state?
I thought that when there was a customer, this girl would report the good news to herself, but the fishing boat finished its nets and transported it to Jiulongshan Wharf, but she still didn't hear from Meng Xiaoyan.
Curiously dialed Meng Xiaoyan's phone, and after the phone was connected, Xu Fang asked, "What's the matter, are there any customers?"
"Yes, a lot, a lot, a lot!" Meng Xiaoyan's excited voice came from the other side of the phone: "The tables are full, and there are a lot of waiting signs at the door!"
Xu Fang looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock, and said with a smile: "It's time for dinner now, it's normal for a lot of people, and you can breathe a sigh of relief after two o'clock." ”
Meng Xiaoyan directly interrupted Xu Fang's words: "What kind of meal is not ordered, our hot pot restaurant, there are people waiting at the door from half past nine, and as soon as the door opens at ten o'clock, the table is full, until now, there are new customers to make up for the withdrawal of the table." Don't talk about it, I'm busy first, don't rest at night, I'll call you at twelve o'clock to tell you about today's turnover. ”
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and Xu Fang was a little confused for a while. It's only the first day, and there are so many customers? It seems that the influence of the Sheedland Hotel is still underestimated.
……
At half past eleven in the evening, a mobile phone rang, and Xu Fang, who was sleeping in the living room, woke up immediately.
Seeing the caller ID, Xu Fang was a little speechless, and pressed the answer button and said, "Miss Lin, what's the urgency in the middle of the night?"
Lin Xiangxue's tone was very ordinary: "It's nothing, tell you about the turnover of your branch today." ”
Xu Fang rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't have anything to call me, Ming'er said no." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Lin Xiangxue replied very simply.
Xu Fang immediately softened: "Don't don't, let's say it, how much is today's revenue?"
"Virtue, even if I don't quarrel with you, Meng Xiaoyan will definitely call you later. Lin Xiangxue sighed, thinking of today's turnover, she was also very happy, and reported the good news: "Our branch has an income of 520,000 yuan and a net profit of 280,000 yuan today! Although it is not much, this is the first day, and there will be a sharp increase in the next week!"
Xu Fang was taken aback, this turnover was almost the same as the head office, and immediately praised: "This momentum is really fierce, it's really okay." ”
"I also underestimated the influence of the brand Xiulan at the time, do you see the city's Weibo and forums today? Most people are praising Xiulan hot pot, and I estimate that Xiulan hot pot's revenue is not low. Lin Xiangxue said with a smile.
Xu Fang really didn't look at this, and chatted with Lin Xiangxue a few more words, Xu Fang turned on his mobile phone and searched for the city's forum.
After opening it, Xu Fang was startled. I saw that on the forum, it was dominated by Xiulan hot pot!
"No wonder Xiulan is so popular, I went to Xiulan hot pot to eat at noon today, and I have crushed the hot pot of all other restaurants, I really praise one. ”
"The price was acceptable, the decoration was very classy, and more importantly, the taste was good. I entertained my friends today, and my friends were full of praise, and I will come next time. ”
", this is the best hot pot I've ever eaten in my life, I ate it once in the morning, I ate it again in the evening, tomorrow weekend, I will eat it for another day, I want to eat all the bottom of the pot with several flavors!"
"I decided that I would come twice a week in the future, and I would be more punctual than going to work. ”
“……”
clicked on the posts one by one, almost all of them praised Xiulan hot pot, and Xu Fang was happy. was about to call Meng Xiaoyan to ask about revenue, when Meng Xiaoyan's call came.
"Xiaoyan, how is today's revenue?" pressed answer, Xu Fang asked with a smile.
Meng Xiaoyan suddenly bought the guanzi: "Guess what." ”
"Revenue of 120,000?" Xu Fang guessed.
After all, it was a big happy event, Meng Xiaoyan was anxious to find someone to share the joy, and couldn't wait to say: "More than this, our two hot pot restaurants, starting from ten o'clock, are in a state of fullness." There are 25 tables in our store, with an average of three people per table, and the per capita consumption is 200 yuan, and each table is about seven guests. The revenue of the two stores has reached more than 210,000! After removing the cost of labor and ingredients, our net profit today is 87,000!"
