Chapter 137: Delicious (1) The First Update
Compared to hot dry noodles, pasta that is half-cooked and only mixed with red or white sauce is much inferior. This is not the boast of the Chinese, although the taste of this thing has its own preferences. However, after eating different foods in the mouth, the ingredients and tastes of different foods form different irritation on the human sense of taste. And this kind of taste stimulation naturally determines whether a food is delicious, how delicious it is, and whether it can outperform other foods.
In later generations, KFC and McDonald's specialized in fried chicken, although it is not as varied as Chinese food, it may not be much healthier than Chinese food. However, the fried chicken dish alone is indeed better than the fried chicken made by the Chinese. No matter which of the eight major cuisines is, in the fried chicken category, it can't beat these two. Even as a foodie who has a great love for Chinese food, I have to admit it for the rest of my life!
An hour after the hot dry noodles are sold out, spring rolls, which resemble apple pie and are similar to pizza, are also sold. As for the meals, all the dishes are left with the soup base. The rice has also been sold in several large barrels.
It's not like there's no chef in the kitchen who continues to cook, but the pace of cooking can't keep up with the sales. Therefore, the queue outside the Qingyu Chinese restaurant has never stopped. From 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., there has been a queue for food.
The rest of his life and Qing Xiaoyi were busy. After closing, the day's turnover is counted, and the numbers make all the clerks jaw-dropping. Branches in other cities are in a similar situation. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Fifth Avenue flagship store, the turnover is also high. The first-day turnover of several restaurants is enough to match the investment of one of the branches!
As a result, Yu Sheng had to immediately start recruiting the second batch of clerks. After all, the essence of hunger marketing is not to make customers hungry all the time, but to sell goods as quickly as possible. Of course, since the beginning of the opening of the store, I have not forgotten the artifact of maintaining customers in future generations - discounts and coupons!
Customers who spend a certain amount at a time at the Qingyu Chinese restaurant can choose to get a certain discount or a coupon for the second consumption. Customers who enjoy discounts will naturally not forget what they have taken advantage of, and customers who choose coupons are naturally ready to take advantage of their next purchase! For businesses like Yu Sheng, who run the catering industry, what they are afraid of is not that customers take advantage, but that they can't retain customers.
In later generations, these methods for the rest of his life can only be regarded as the usual routine of running the catering industry, but in this era, such means are unique! Discounting, a business method that seemed commonplace in later generations, has made many business empires in this era! For example, Kemat, who became famous in later generations!
Therefore, this set of customer retention methods is also very effective. According to the normal rule, after the freshness has passed in the first few days of opening, no matter what kind of dishes are served, there will always be a decrease in the number of customers in the restaurant. According to the data given by Qing Xiaoyi, ten days after the opening of the Qingyu Chinese restaurant, the decline in customer traffic was not significant. Presumably, on the first day of the boom, the number of visitors only decreased by about 20%. The queue at the door is still there, but the line is not as long as it was on the first day it opened.
At this point, Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there were no accidents, the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant could be regarded as taking root.

The popularity of the herring fish Chinese restaurant quickly attracted the attention of Americans. Before the opening of the Qing Yu Chinese restaurant for the rest of my life, the United States was not without Chinese restaurants. It's just that the business model is still the same as the one brought from China, and even the dishes are not the taste and form that Americans like. Those who should sell noodles sell noodles, those who should sell steamed buns sell steamed buns, what they used to cook in China, and what they did when they arrived in the United States. But I don't know that Americans don't use chopsticks at all. The interest in steamed buns is also far less than bread.
As a result, the main customers of Chinese restaurants have always been Chinese and other Asians. Business has not been good, but it is just enough to maintain food and clothing. No one has ever thought of fast food as a business model, let alone mixing and matching simple and easy-to-make dishes from the eight major cuisines into fast food. In these years, the Chinese still pay attention to an orderly inheritance, and the heaven and earth are the masters. As soon as these eight cuisines are mixed and matched, who knows which faction the master in charge is?
And the opening of the Qingyu Chinese restaurant for the rest of his life, the power and profit of Chinese fast food suddenly appeared. It scared the old diehards who were stuck in the old ways. In order to make money to support his family, he had no choice but to go to a Chinese restaurant in Qingyu to learn from the experience.
The herring fish Chinese restaurant grasps the taste of food for the rest of his life and Qing Xiaoyi. What Qing Xiaoyi will make is just home-cooked food. Therefore, the dishes in the blue fish Chinese restaurant are just the taste of Chinese home-cooked food. This makes all kinds of masters who have unique skills, but run their own restaurants in a mess, after tasting the fast food in the Qingyu Chinese restaurant, their eyes are full of tears - it turns out that this old beauty has such low requirements! Why didn't you say it earlier!
With the shrewdness of the rest of his life, all Chinese who come to the Chinese restaurant to taste the dishes carefully will take the initiative to go up and find out. After coming and going, I met many Chinese cooks who came to find out about the enemy. Once the weaknesses of these cooks are discovered, the rest of their lives will take the initiative. With a lot of dollars, these chefs who can only cook but can't run a restaurant are under their command.
These people, who do not need to be trained, only need to gain their loyalty, and they can be the pillars of the staff. Therefore, I am very happy to do this for the rest of my life.
And the reporter who once reported on "Chinese Cuisine Sneak Attack on America" did not break his promise, and after the opening of the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant, he queued for two hours and went to the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant to eat a set meal. Then, the glorious ones ate up......
Subsequently, another story with a surprising headline was published in the newspaper, "How to complain if it is so delicious?" 》。 The report uses very detailed data to count the number of Chinese dishes in the flagship store of the Fifth Avenue flagship store in the United States, and the taste of each one.
According to the reporter's original text, "When I entered the Qingyu Chinese restaurant, I was actually full of malice. After all, I was waiting in line outside for two hours. This kind of queuing is only available at Michelin-starred restaurants, and I just want to have a quick meal! So, my colleague and I asked for a portion of each dish. Then, with malice, he tasted each dish. ”
