It's July, but our business is still half-dead. Every day, we clean the venue early, put up a big umbrella, tidy up the table beautifully, and wait for customers to come.

It doesn't mean that we don't have customers here, and we even have a few repeat customers.

However, the turnover is not even enough to earn our expenses.

It's almost midnight, but we still don't have a lot of people here.

My little rock and his friend were depressed and going crazy. No one will be waiting for you today! The three of us, one man and one woman, two waiters, made a big table of dishes by ourselves, and we played music, lit string lights, and treated ourselves with candles in our stalls.

To be honest, although I opened a restaurant, I really haven't eaten on time in the past few months. It's really like a mountain, and now, I understand why he often came over to eat with me at Du Jianmin's hot pot restaurant at that time.

Because, every time you eat, it's the busiest time for the restaurant, and the people who work here naturally can't take care of eating by themselves.

Today, we made all the best ingredients, and put Lauder beer and vodka on the table, just like the last supper.

The young waiter, a student who came to work with us in the summer, said excitedly while eating Russian skewers and drinking beer:

- "I only understand today why foreigners like to eat barbecue!" This is meat! It's a pleasure to eat! ”

- "Look at their hygiene, there are trash cans next to the dining table, these people are not dirty, and they eat very hard!" The waitress, who is also a student, looked at the barbecue stand next door and said dissatisfied.

This girl is absolutely right, our design here is based on the style of a foreign restaurant:

Each table is covered by a large brand-new dark green parasol. The snow-white hard plastic table looks particularly neat and comfortable.

There are also flowers in a small vase on the dining table that are changed every day. For the evening atmosphere, I also added a small glass candle holder with a small shape on the table with a small candle inside.

In order to ensure that the guests do not interfere with each other, we also use flower pots and white plastic fences decorated with blue rainbow pipes and small string lights.

Our waiter, wearing a snow-blue T-shirt, white shorts, and a white baseball cap, looked youthful and beautiful.

However, why are the guests crowded next door, and they don't even have the idea of coming to us to have a look.

The space there wasn't much bigger than ours, but there were twice as many seats as ours. Crudely mount benches don't count, I don't think they've even been cleaned properly. Smoke from the oven drifts to the table from time to time.

However, people don't seem to care about this, and the guests are either pulling their families or coming in groups, bustling, and the noisy scene makes it seem that our side is very deserted.

There are no customers, so we invariably envy and hate the neighbors.

The clever waitress said timidly:

- "I asked them why they didn't come to us to take a look, and guess what they said?" They say it's expensive when you look at it, so people don't go! ”

- "But, we're really not expensive here!" I exclaimed.

- "Yes! In order to attract customers, Sister Lin and I have lowered the price in the past few days, and our price is almost the lowest in Beidaihe! Xiao Shi's friend said.

- "If you don't say that these people are lacking in hearts!" The more you rush, the less they buy it! I'd rather stand there and wait for a while, but we'll take a look. The waiter had apparently drunk too much, and his cheeks were red and red.

- "It's not just Chinese, that day, I saw a few hairy people standing there, and I said in Russian, why don't you come here from our side?" Hey...... No one on their side understands what I'm saying anyway! Unexpectedly, those two old hairy men waved their hands at me and said, "Your ones are expensive!" I was so angry! I thought to myself, don't you just say it's expensive if you look at it? I dragged them to us, and they looked at the menu and nodded, and said with satisfaction, we really didn't expect your prices to be so low! Xiao Shi said as he opened another can of Cordon Bleu beer with a slightly drunken face.

- "Looks like there's something wrong with the positioning of our restaurant!" I said thoughtfully.

- "Sister Lin, I think the positioning of our restaurant is fine, don't you think this Russian barbecue is our specialty?" Do you want to make it the same as any other barbecue stand? Xiao Shi asked puzzled.

- "That being said, the market is everything, and it is an undeniable fact that our restaurants have no customers, and it seems that we still don't know much about the hearts of diners. I said.

When the waitress saw me say this, she put down the juice cup and said:

- "Didn't their foreman come to us to borrow napkins a few days ago?"

The foreman was a little surprised to see that Manager Lin agreed to lend them money, and she told me that she had always been curious about our restaurant, and to be honest, she had the courage to speak to Manager Lin. She said, I didn't expect your foreign manager to be quite talkative.

I told her that our manager Lin is Chinese.

She was surprised to say that she had always thought that we were a Russian-owned restaurant here, more like a bar than a barbecue stand! ”

I was shocked by the waitress's words, it seems that there is indeed a problem with the positioning of our restaurant, and it is no wonder that there are no customers. It's all my mistake to turn a barbecue stand into a bar, and do you expect people to come and eat barbecue?

Hearing this, Xiao Shi's friend patted his thigh and said:

- "Then I'm going to just turn the barbecue restaurant into a bar!" I sell a bottle of vodka for twenty dollars for two hundred per cup, and a bottle is a thousand yuan. So they're happy, aren't they? ”

In the following month, our business did not improve. Xiao Shi and his friends really had the idea of turning the barbecue restaurant into a bar.

I think of my own hard work in the past six months, and I am even half a waiter in order to receive Russian tourists, but in addition to hard work, I also earn a penny.

That's when I remembered my father's advice, it's not so easy to be a boss. No matter how aggrieved this employee is, he won't lose money.

It seems that not everyone has a chance to get rich, should I be realistic, maybe I was not born to be a boss.

Xiaoshi's bar was also like a test subject, and I didn't naturally like bars, nightclubs, and other places, and I couldn't imagine that I would make a living from it, which was also too frustrating.

In other words, even if I put aside my likes and dislikes for money, I don't know how to run a bar, and I have to find out how long it will take for us to make money. Will my savings be able to withstand such a toss?

It's time to wake up, my dream of wealth and freedom.

I asked the two lads to quit, and neither of them objected much. They sat down and settled the accounts, not only did they not make any money, but they also lost more than 30,000 yuan, but the two of them said to me, Sister Lin has worked hard for more than half a year and has not let you earn money, it is really embarrassing, this loss is not the same as me.

I think that since everyone starts a business together, there are blessings and hardships, and since I have my share in making money, I should also share the loss of money.

When I returned to BJ from Beidaihe, I had information about starting to look for a job on the Internet, and my mother saw it and said:

- "You're getting down to business!" Don't always think about being opportunistic and being an exploiting class, everyone still wants financial freedom! But how many have done it? This man! You should also be a little self-aware, don't eat the fireworks in the world and go to open a restaurant, if you don't lose money, who will lose money? ”

"Fireworks in the World" - It's the first time I've heard my mother say this about me. I was a little surprised.

But what my mother said, "If you don't eat the fireworks in the world and go to open a restaurant, if you don't lose money, who will lose money?" It does go to the essence of the problem.
