Chapter 109: Advertising Effect
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the media broke the news that Lin Kee Private Restaurant formally sued five customers for making trouble without reason, interfering with normal operations, and causing an extremely serious adverse impact on the reputation of the restaurant, requiring them to compensate for various losses totaling more than 500,000 yuan.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
Some people applauded, saying that those five people couldn't eat the overlord meal, and they even made a lot of trouble, which is indeed extremely hateful.
Some people also scolded, celebrities are amazing? If the guests are not satisfied with the food, they should not give you money, and you are embarrassed to file a lawsuit?
There are also people who shout, all the reports on the Internet, do not say that the food in the restaurant is not delicious, but only that the food of the day is not made by Lin Yi, and it is slightly worse than that made by the God of Food......
Because this time the incident is really too big!
Of course, even if this kind of thing is litigated, it will definitely not be able to be tried in a moment and a half, and it will not be able to be fought at all in two or three months.
However, this did not prevent Lin Yi from successfully making headlines the next day, although the main argument of the headlines has gradually shifted to the controversy about celebrities opening restaurants, but there is no doubt that the cause of the controversy is still inseparable from Lin Yi's many restaurants - last night, a lot of posts suddenly appeared, all of which are about the relevant introductions and comments of Lin Ji's restaurants and cooked water shops, and the content of the comments is almost all praised, and the only one who expressed dissatisfaction also said that they had to queue up to eat, which was too annoying!
A large number of similar comments flooded the Internet, making it impossible to tell how many of them were trolls and how many were real customers, but looking at the user IPs, almost all of them were in Jinhaiben City, and at most in the other two counties and cities in the province - and at present, Lin Kee Noodle Restaurant only has stores in these places, which undoubtedly adds credibility.
Anyway, no matter what the media thinks, no matter how many posts there are to smear Lin Yi and smear Lin Ji's private restaurant, but netizens believe it, at least believe that Lin Ji's noodle restaurant is delicious and cheap!
So, after the headlines the next day, Lin Yi's Lin Ji Noodle Restaurant suddenly received a lot of calls to join the consultation, and even the clerk Xiaomei who was responsible for answering the phone daily in the office was so tired that she didn't have the effort to drink saliva, and often just put down the microphone, and the next call came in.
Those out-of-town customers can only call for consultation, but many local customers in Jinhai simply find the address of the headquarters on the Internet or other stores, and then directly come to the door for consultation.
The headquarters was in a busy mess, and more than a dozen noodle restaurants also called to say that business was more hot than usual, asking for more noodles and spice rations, and even private restaurants were also doing very hot business.
There are always some people who don't believe in evil in this world, after all, the arguments on the Internet are not uniform, and if there is a debate, it must be verified, after all, for some foodies, a thousand yuan a meal is nothing, even if you don't have money, you can also try a bowl of Chinese noodles for only a dozen yuan.
"Mr. Lin, the private rooms are all booked out now, but there are still many customers who are reluctant to leave and have to eat in the lobby, what do you think?" said the little girl at the front desk who ran into the kitchen and said to Lin Yi, who was preparing the ingredients.
There are a total of eight private rooms on the two floors of the private restaurant, and there are six tables in the lobby according to the layout of the ancient restaurant, but at the beginning, the six tables were only used for decoration, not for entertaining guests.
"Well, you can use it, and explain to customers that there are tables in the lobby, and a table is full for eight people, and less than six people are not served. Lin Yi said, "The other tables are not reserved for the public, only for customers who dine directly at the door." ”
"Okay!" the little girl at the front desk responded excitedly, and hurriedly ran out - she was about to be crazy by the guests who came to the door just now, and now she finally managed to get a seat.
But soon the little girl at the front desk had a bitter face again - there were only six tables, eight people each, and only forty-eight people sat down, but at this time, there were fifty or sixty people in the lobby, not to mention that there were not enough people to sit......
"Lao Xie, it's almost time, let's get ready to serve. Lin Yi said.
"Okay!" Lao Xie replied with a high voice, and ordered the food delivery staff to start serving.
Yesterday's incident made Lao Xie feel very guilty, but Lin Yi didn't complain about him, today's business in the store is even more popular, Lao Xie let go of the burden in his heart and is much more motivated.
"It's time to serve, snaps, snaps......"
First of all, those customers who didn't grab a seat took out their mobile phones one by one and slapped the plates in the hands of the waiter, and then the customers sitting in the lobby waited with chopsticks one by one, but saw that the waiter didn't stop, went straight past them, and took the tray to the private room.
A few disgruntled guys yelled that it was discrimination against the guests sitting in the lobby and asked to be served first.
Soon, a mellow staff member walked over, smiling and saying that the order of serving the dishes should be carried out according to the distance from the kitchen, so as to ensure that the taste of the dishes on the table is basically the same as possible. If the customer is not satisfied with this, the store can refund the money now, and you can leave now!
Those customers who didn't grab a seat were waiting for someone to refund the money and they could replace it, but those clamoring guys were coaxed, and none of them were willing to leave - no way, not to mention anything else, just now the waiter passed by with a plate, and they only glanced at the color, style, and faint fragrance of the dishes on the plate, and they were already aroused, where are they willing to go?
Fortunately, soon another food server came out and served food to several tables one by one. Originally, there should be an outsider next to the explanation, but today six tables were temporarily added, and the outsiders couldn't explain it at all, and even the private room was originally responsible for two tables, but I didn't want one private room to finish speaking, and the other private room had already eaten all the dishes......
While eating, these diners did not forget to post on the Internet to broadcast the eating process......
"This Napoleon wrasse is beautiful and delicious, take a picture for you, and everyone will be hungry for ......"
"Those posts on the Internet are definitely deliberately black, the taste here is definitely the best dish I have ever tasted, much stronger than those five-star hotels, not to mention a thousand yuan, even 10,000 is worth the price!"
"I specifically asked, there are two chefs here, one is Lin Yi, and the other is said to be a chef from a five-star hotel. There is nothing misleading us in the store that the dishes are all made by Lin Yi, and we can clearly feel that some of these dishes are very delicious, and some are super delicious, but no matter which one they are, the standard of 1,000 yuan per person is worth the price!"
"And this wine, although it is a little expensive, but this taste is really good, no wonder it is called Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid, this is clearly drunk by the gods!"
"The only drawback here is that the business is too good, not only is it not easy to grab a seat, but there are also people who don't have a seat and don't want to leave, just standing next to us to eat, even if they are very good standing a few meters away, but still feel so embarrassed......"
