Chen Man nodded with great excitement and hurried back to send letters to all the restaurants he ran.
The shopkeepers of these restaurants had puzzled expressions on their faces after seeing the letters sent by Chen Man.
What is the method to put all these meals in boxes and make them for one person?
And you need to find additional people to open a takeout business and deliver the meals you cook at home to those people’s homes?
Isn't this a joke? Is there really a way to solve the current situation?
It's a pity that they are just branch storekeepers. For these stores, they only have the ability to manage the books and handle some minor matters. They need to listen to Chen Man for everything.
So these shopkeepers directly hired carpenters and made the boxes according to Chen Man's requirements. The making method of these boxes was not complicated, and even the carpenter's apprentices could easily make them.
And because the quantity they needed was so large, these carpenters even gave them a discount. In the end, the cost of each box was only a dozen cents.
After seeing these boxes, the cooks in the restaurant were a little puzzled, but this was the order of the shopkeeper, so they had no choice but to sort their fried dishes into the compartments where these boxes could come out.
The remaining guys filled the boxes with staple foods, put them all in thermally insulated carriages, and transported them to the militia training ground.
The militiamen had just finished training all morning. At this time, a hungry and sweaty man saw the carriage coming from a distance, and they were all a little curious.
"Is this the restaurant coming to deliver food again?"
"Alas, although the food in this restaurant is good, it is already cold every time it is delivered to my hands."
"Besides, it takes a long time to prepare meals. Some people even have more people than others, so we have to please them!"
The militiamen in the militia were somewhat helpless about this matter, but at this moment, the carriage stopped directly in front of them, and the people coming out called the yamen who were training the militia over.
"We are here to deliver food. The food here has been prepared according to the number of people. Each person has one portion. If it is not enough, you can come and get it with an empty box!"
“After eating, just ask them to hand back the wooden box!”
The yamen servant was a little confused, but at this time the man had opened the special small window of the carriage and took out a hot meal from it.
Smelling the aroma of the food, these militiamen couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The box made of wood itself has a certain thermal insulation effect, and it is placed in a carriage that can be insulated, so the meals are still steaming hot when they are delivered.
The militiamen were all surprised to see the meals served in wooden boxes. They came over and each took a box of meals. After comparing them with each other, they found that the portions and dishes of all the meals were the same.
"Great, now we can finally have hot and delicious meals."
"Yes, and the amount is also very large, I think everyone can be full!"
The militiamen happily ate their meals, and because the lunch boxes had already been distributed when they were in the restaurant, it also saved the time of dividing the meals. Only when they were handed over to the hands of these militiamen, the meals could maintain sufficient calories.
The government officer responsible for training these militiamen also nodded with great satisfaction when he saw that these lunch boxes were handed over to these militiamen so easily and quickly.
"Who made this thing? This is a great help to us!"
"Yes, we usually need to arrange extra manpower here to wait for these people to wash the dishes after eating. Now that you have made this wooden box, we can all leave this matter to you to solve!"
"And this wooden box allows these militiamen to eat anywhere, and it also increases their eating speed. The free time can give them a good rest!"
The person who delivered the food in the restaurant was very satisfied when he heard this. He silently recorded all the feedback and planned to summarize it with Chen Man when he returned.
In restaurants, once those box lunches were launched, they also attracted more and more people's attention.
In various counties, there are many people who are on the road, and many of them come to the county to sell some items. Usually, it would cost them at least dozens of yuan to have a meal in a restaurant, but this lunch box The price is very low, and you can have a delicious meal for only a dozen pennies.
If you are willing to spend a little more money, you can eat several dishes for less than half the original price, and even include meat.
More and more people rushed to buy this box lunch. Even the shopkeepers of the restaurants looked at these customers in disbelief. They had no idea why these people bought these box lunches.
However, the takeout business really shocked the owners of these restaurants. They felt that when they opened the takeout business, they not only had to find extra people to deliver the meals, but they also needed to deliver the dishes to those restaurants in the shortest possible time. There should be a lot of cost expenditure on the hands of the customer.
But now I find that compared with these costs, the profits they get are the largest.
Originally, there were only a few tables in the restaurant, and those who wanted to eat here even had to wait in line.
But now they can have hot meals at home, and these takeaways only cost a little extra money.
This not only brings more and more customers to buy the restaurant’s dishes, but also makes the restaurant’s business better and its profits greater than before!
Originally, these restaurants had enough money allocated by Ruhai to provide meals to the militiamen. Now they started to operate externally, making a lot of money all of a sudden.
Chen Man looked at the account books sent by the restaurant with great satisfaction, briefly summarized them, and couldn't help but take a breath.
"My brother-in-law is a genius. I can earn dozens of taels of silver every day just by relying on this takeout and lunch boxes!"
"I didn't expect to make so much money by running a restaurant. This is just one restaurant. If all the restaurants are counted together, we can earn hundreds of taels of silver every day!"
Chen Man had never thought that he could make so much money before. He originally thought that the book club was profitable enough, but compared with his own restaurant, it was nothing!
If this continues, Chen Man will become the richest man in Qingzhou in just a few months!
