"After depositing money in the card, the customer wants to have a big meal, so the first choice must be our hot pot restaurant."
"Five hundred Wen, each time you deduct fifty Wen, you have to deduct it at least ten times. With such a small profit, if you change the customer ten times, who will make the profit?!"
"Opening a restaurant is similar to a restaurant. Only when there are customers in the lobby can you attract more customers."
"Let's not talk about the money we can make from members. Even if we don't make money from them, it's worth treating them to eat and drink for nothing to increase our popularity."
Cheng Lei was amazed when he heard Shen Shuangshuang's explanation.
He prides himself on his business acumen and skills, but in front of Mrs. Shen, he is completely inadequate.
How did she come up with such an idea?
"Okay! I will arrange for someone to copy the flyers later and make preparations!" Cheng Lei quickly agreed.
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
Cheng Lei was given another drawing.
"This is the Wheel of Fortune."
"You can find someone to make a big one and place it directly outside the store in a conspicuous place."
Cheng Lei took it.
I was surprised when I saw the content on the picture.
"Is there a free bill?" asked.
Not only are there free orders, but there are also 30% off, 40% off, souvenirs, etc.
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Cheng Lei.
"When you ask people to do this carousel, you just need to be a little more hands-on and don't let people switch to free orders so easily."
"Options such as 'One More Time', 'Thank You for Review', and 'Souvenir' can be focused on."
"Just place something eye-catching at the door. We can do this activity for three days." Shen Shuangshuang said.
Cheng Lei's heart moved and he admired him again.
If he knew that there was such an activity in a store, he would definitely enter the store and spend money to get a membership card.
"In addition, remember to invite a gong and drum team in advance. On the opening day, let them beat the gongs and drums and hold up placards, and go around the main streets in Shangyang Town twice. Make sure that most people in the town know about our hot pot restaurant Opened for business.”
"By the way, let them hand out leaflets during the parade."
"Forget it, five hundred more leaflets will be needed."
Cheng Lei's eyes lit up.
"Sure!" He agreed quickly.
Shen Shuangshuang trained Cheng Lei and the waiters in the store on the spot before leaving.
The next day, at the entrance of Shenji Old Hotpot, some display boards appeared announcing the opening day activities inside the store, as well as an eye-catching lucky wheel.
There was also a person posted at the door to respond to interested people passing by.
The third day, March 24th.
With the sound of firecrackers, the county magistrate personally cut the ribbon and witnessed by several distinguished guests from the Su family, Shenji Old Hotpot officially opened.
When it came to cutting the ribbon, Shen Shuangshuang only asked Cheng Lei to invite a more respected person from Shangyang Town. Unexpectedly, Cheng Lei actually invited Magistrate Chen.
Of course, this is not because Cheng Lei is capable, but because this kid went to find his father.
Although Cheng Yuan said before that he would not give money to his son, he asked him to send sky-high betrothal gifts to the Su family.
But after learning that his son had opened a hotpot restaurant with Shen Shuangshuang in partnership and was doing a great job, he shamelessly went to see County Magistrate Chen.
Anyway, the unfilial son of his family has already dropped out of the academy. Rather than doing his job all day long and causing trouble for him, it would be better to do something serious.
What if, well, what if, it would really make him thousands of taels of silver.
If he makes up for it a little less, it is not impossible to let his unfilial son go to the Su family to propose marriage.
The daughter-in-law is right. The unfilial son of his family has already been determined to be a failure in the imperial examination.
But if one doesn’t work, you can still train the next one.
The Su family is a scholarly family, and Su Yuyan is also a student of Nanshan Academy.
If you can really marry the unfilial son of his family, you will definitely have a child who can study in the future.
When the time comes, who dares to say that all of his old Cheng family are rough guys?
Cheng Yuan, standing next to County Magistrate Chen, became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
Cheng Yuan felt very proud when he heard County Magistrate Chen and some reputable people in Shangyang Town praising Shen Ji's old hotpot for its originality and praising the unfilial son of his family who came to receive them.
This unfilial son finally did something that made him lose face.
Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lei together invited the distinguished guests to the largest private room on the third floor.
Male guests and female guests are separated by a screen, which ensures a certain degree of privacy without preventing communication between the two parties.
After greeting everyone, the two arranged for everyone to order food, then left and went to make arrangements.
Outside, at this time, the waist drum team invited by Shen Ji Lao Hotpot had already gone out, and the sound of gongs and drums could be clearly heard by people upstairs in the station.
Outside Shenji Old Hot Pot Restaurant, many people came to ask about the situation with flyers.
Some people came into the store with the attitude of giving it a try.
As soon as they enter the store, customers are attracted by the interior decoration.
The table in the lobby is uniquely designed. Pots can be placed on the table and charcoal fire can be placed under the pot.
There is also a self-service area in the lobby.
In addition to hot pot seasonings, the buffet area also has snacks, refreshments, pickles, and sweet soup fried rice, which looks very tempting.
At the beginning, Cheng Lei and Shen Shuangshuang spent a total of one thousand taels of silver, which was very sufficient funds.
Cheng Lei was determined to expand his business, so when he rented a store, he directly chose a three-story building.
The first floor is for dine-in, the second floor has private rooms and dine-in, and the third floor is all private rooms, which can accommodate many guests.
The waiter enthusiastically came forward to introduce the situation and then handed over the menu.
Guests make their selections directly on the menu.
After ordering here, the chef will soon bring the bottom of the pot.
Then, serve the dishes ordered by the guests.
It was the first time for the guests who came to try it out to see such a store, and they felt very novel about this way of eating.
Later guests saw the guests in the lobby cooking and eating happily around the pot, so most of them stayed to try it.
It doesn’t matter if you taste it, I fell in love with the taste of hot pot as soon as I tasted it.
The red soup in Yuanyang Hotpot is all slightly spicy. Although many customers have never tasted this kind of spiciness, they can still accept it.
If this is not acceptable, you can also use the bottom of the pot with clear soup.
There are various condiments prepared in the self-service condiment area. Even if you eat clear soup, it will be delicious when dipping.
Cheng Lei and Shen Shuangshuang were in charge of the first floor and the second and third floors. They were both very busy.
I was so busy that I accidentally ended up being too busy.
At this time, the nobles on the third floor came out after eating.
Everyone was full of praise for Shen Ji Old Hotpot.
Cheng Lei gave them VIP cards at the right time. It means that if you come to eat with your VIP card, the price will be 30% off.
Shen Shuangshuang gave everyone a can of Shen Ji fermented bean curd as a small gift before sending everyone out.
Everyone repeatedly praised Cheng Yuan for raising a good son and taking in a capable goddaughter for accepting this offer.
Yes, for the sake of identity convenience, Shen Shuangshuang recognized Cheng Yuan as his godfather.
Now she is Cheng Lei's sister.
Cheng Lei sent the people out of the store, put them on the carriage, watched them leave, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"These people eat a lot." Cheng Lei muttered to Shen Shuangshuang beside him.
"It would be great if they are willing to come over and help us gain popularity. The food is our own, so we won't lose much." Shen Shuangshuang continued. (End of chapter)
