After the dishes were ready, several people chatted while eating, and the topic returned to the funds for opening a restaurant.

"Actually, it's a good idea to borrow money from the public party to open a restaurant. Everyone is happy to make a profit, if you really lose your own General Cheng to pay it back, the three of you will die but a meal of flesh and skin. Yu Chi Baolin said to the three brothers of the Cheng family.

Cheng Chuliang glanced at Luo Taisui and said, "We think so too, it's a big deal to be beaten, anyway, there will be other things without this......

But as soon as we thought that it was Luo's fool's idea, we had to be careful not to be seen as a joke by him. ”

Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chubi nodded in agreement at the same time.

When they were children, the three brothers often bullied Luo Taisui, and according to conventional logic, Luo Taisui would definitely find an opportunity to yin them.

However, they didn't know that this Luo Tai Sui was not Pi Luo Tai Sui.

I don't have any memory of that past, right?

"You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, since I let you borrow money from the public party, I am naturally sure that you will earn it back." Luo Tai Sui said comfortably.

"How to earn? Let's talk about your approach first. Cheng Chuliang said tentatively.

Luo Taisui smiled.

This guy is pretty good.

"Well, that's what I meant to tell you. But before that, you still have to understand the catering industry. ”

Next, Luo Taisui talked eloquently and introduced them to the three difficulties of the catering industry.

The entry threshold of the catering industry is very low, such as the roadside stalls of Wu Laosan and Zhu Laosi, set up a shed, and set up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to greet customers to do business.

However, the low threshold leads to fierce competition in the industry and a high elimination rate.

If you don't run well, you will soon go out of business...... Even a change of chef can bring the business to a halt.

There is a very significant problem here, which is the first difficulty that Luo Taisui wants to talk about.

Standardization.

Chinese food has a high level of dependence on chefs, and each chef has different levels, and the control of heat and seasonings is different, which makes it difficult to standardize Chinese food.

Standardization is the premise of large-scale expansion.

Only by solving the standardization of the catering industry can we continue to replicate and expand, and can we become bigger and stronger.

But this is obviously difficult, so there are only a handful of catering companies that can be listed in the future.

Although Luo Taisui had a rough appearance, he spoke unhurriedly and methodically, telling the stakes one by one, not only did Changsun Chong and the others nod frequently when they heard it, but even the holy hands and Lao Jiu at the adjacent table turned their attention.

Soon Luo Taisui finished talking about the first difficulty and started the next one.

The second difficulty is that it is difficult to adjust the number of mouths and the customer stickiness is low.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, with large differences in personal tastes, it is difficult to reconcile the mouth, and catering to one part means giving up the other part.

Anyone who has ever been involved in the restaurant industry knows this.

In addition, food and beverage consumption also has the characteristics of trying new and getting tired of eating.

On the one hand, most diners are looking forward to trying new flavors, such as newly opened restaurants, and most people are willing to try them.

On the other hand, diners are less likely to love a particular restaurant alone, and they may get tired of eating it if they visit it often.

Therefore, the characteristics of early adopters and tired eating make the stickiness of catering consumption lower and fewer repeat customers.

Finally, and the biggest difficulty, is that food safety is difficult to guarantee.

"If you don't manage well, you can survive for months or even a whole year before you die slowly, and once there is a food safety problem, you may close down tomorrow, life and death!"

Luo Taisui said.

Zhu Laosi didn't know when to stand aside, listened attentively, and felt that he had benefited a lot.

"So your countermeasure is ......," Cheng asked with a frown.

I didn't expect that just opening a restaurant, there would be so many doors, which made him even less confident.

Let's listen to what Luo fool can do.

"Hot pot."

Luo Taisui slowly spit out these two words.

Everyone was stunned and asked what kind of novelty this "hot pot" was.

Luo Taisui is another popular science.

"Cooking?"

This was the first impression of the crowd after listening to his description, and they were disappointed.

"No, no, no." Luo Taisui shook his head, "It's shabu, not boiling." ”

"Shabu?" Changsun Chong repeated, "Wash? ”

"You can say the same thing." Luo Taisui said with a smile: "Actually, it is to use chopsticks to hold the ingredients and walk in the boiling soup for two or three times."

In this way, the food is fresh, tender and hot when the ingredients are blanched. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"It sounds like it's ordinary...... "The three brothers of the Cheng family were even more disappointed.

"Not ordinary, not ordinary, delicious, and...... It's special! Zhu Laosi interjected on the side.

He once tasted hot pot once in Luofu, and he still remembers it.

"With Boss Zhu's craftsmanship, they are full of praise, it should be very delicious." Wang Xiaojie said with a smile.

"The class has an axe, the class has an axe." Zhu Laosi hurriedly waved his hand, "On culinary skills, Deputy Envoy Luo is a real expert, and we have just learned some superficial knowledge." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xiaojie showed a look of attention, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhu Laosi showed a rare smile and said, "The opening of the small shop was all given by Deputy Envoy Bailuo.

He not only financed us with money, but also taught us how to cook, and was our great benefactor. ”

"These dishes were taught to you by Luo Fool?" The three brothers of the Cheng family were surprised.

"Exactly."

Zhu Laosi is not good at communication, rubbing his hand on his waist, and then busy with his work.

"I didn't expect you to be an expert in this area, fool Luo!" Cheng Chuliang looked at Luo Taisui, "Then the thing you said is called hot pot, is it really so magical?" ”

"Next time I'm the east, I'll invite you to come to Luofu for a hot pot meal."

Luo Taisui smiled happily: "This way of eating, whether it is the bottom of the pot, the dipping sauce, or the ingredients, can achieve the standard configuration, as long as the kitchen prepares the goods, the customer dips the sauce by himself, and the ingredients are self-soaked, which does not depend on the chef at all."

If you do it right, you can expand quickly and repeat the pattern. ”

In later generations, hot pot is a relatively standardized type of meal in Chinese food, which is easy to expand, can quickly form a scale, and form a huge and complete industrial chain.

"I see." It is still Changsun Chong's ability to understand relatively strongly, just based on Luo Taisui's description, he roughly figured out the ideas, "In this way, the first difficulty of opening a restaurant can be solved."

And customers can also do it themselves, choose and mix their own tastes, and there is no longer a problem of difficult to reconcile. ”

"Exactly." Luo Taisui felt that he was more and more appreciative of this former rival, "Customers do it themselves, and more interaction will be formed in the process of dining, which will naturally increase the length of stay."

The additional social features make the hot pot diet relatively sticky, and can cultivate a loyal customer base. ”

"Heaven Descends"

In this way, the two difficulties of the catering industry are well avoided.
