Indeed, this is also a kind of cost management.
When running a business, all aspects must be taken into consideration.
For example, cost, and the cost of purchasing a property is also among them.
Idle manpower and space are a huge expense.
Manpower can be diverted elsewhere, but it will cause a waste of manpower.
Because new employment positions will not be created out of thin air elsewhere, and what if new industries are involved?
This always feels like buying a kitchen rhythm just because of a fish.
Zhou Tingyu shook his head: "There are too many, and we won't use that much for the time being. So, let's go to Jiuding Restaurant to place an order first, and the ice cubes will be shipped back today. But for the time being, we can only place ice basins in each bedroom. But there is also a problem with this, the ice melts too fast."
The man next to him, who had just invited Zhou Tingyu to have something to eat, interrupted and said, "Can you take me with you? I also want to find out. Maybe I also need to buy ice cubes here."
He needs more ice cubes here. He has thought about purchasing ice cube making tools and making ice himself.
Maybe, you can still make a small fortune.
Whether it's the method of making ice or ice cubes.
Just to settle an account with Zhou Tingyu, not everyone needs to use so much ice cubes. If you make it yourself, the cost invested is too much and cannot be recovered.
Instead, it is better to buy here.
Fortunately, Jiuding Restaurant has many branches, so it is more convenient to buy it in Shanghai.
When a guest made this request, Zhou Tingyu naturally accompanied him.
After breakfast, as the boss, he would naturally not take the lead in wasting money, and it would not look good.
It’s ugly if you ask others to comply, but then you take the lead in violating it yourself, isn’t it?
I drove and took Zhou Tingyu and his guests to a Jiuding restaurant in the city.
Zhou Tingyu walked in and sighed: "There are not enough branches of Jiuding Restaurant."
The manager of the nearest branch is Tang Can, a girl who was transferred from Bishui City.
Tang Can is also considered to be eloquent, learns things quickly, and is smart in entertaining people.
Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said: "They all need the patronage of customers. If we make more money, we can open more branches. However, we have opened five branches for the time being. This speed is also thanks to everyone's support. I came here. Is this person who looks strange to me a friend of Mr. Zhou? At first glance, he seems to be very noble and someone who is doing great things."
If he had said this a year or two ago, I am afraid Tang Can would have been scolded and even in danger.
But this year, the self-employed business has been implemented for one year.
Nobility, this is also a good sign.
The guest laughed loudly, pointed at Tang Can and said to Zhou Tingyu: "I have heard a long time ago that the waiters at Jiuding Restaurant are all beautiful and smart. The most important thing is that this mouth really knows how to say, I Those friends unknowingly opened their wallets and bought a lot of food. Then they discovered that this is really a new world and it tastes great."
Tang Can said: "Thank you for your compliment. I'll treat you to a cup of sour plum soup personally. Although it's not very expensive, it's still a way to express my gratitude. The main thing is that we are all working part-time, and you are the big boss, so don't dislike it."
The guests laughed loudly and shouted "big boss". Maybe many people shouted "big boss" before.
But it's not as true as today, and it's a beautiful girl shouting, which makes me feel more and more refreshed.
But the guest still pointed at Tang Can and said: "Don't think I don't know. Anyone who comes here to consume can drink sour plum soup for free. You are borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, and I won't accept it."
Having said that, he still took the sour plum soup from Tang Can and started drinking it.
A cup of sour plum soup fell down in a few seconds, and the guest finished it. Then he gave a thumbs up and said: "On this hot day, a cup of iced sour plum soup is really great. However, your sour plum soup, It seems to taste better than others?"
This time is not a meal time, Tang Can knows that this is not a meal.
It is impossible for Zhou Tingyu to bring his guests hungry, he looks like they are from the farm.
Zhou Tingyu got up a little late today, and breakfast was delayed.
In addition, they chatted in the restaurant for a while, and then went into the city, wouldn't it be that it wasn't time for dinner?
The breakfast at Jiuding Restaurant is also very good. There are many customers. Even though it is not just a meal, people often come to buy things.
But the earlier door was opened in another direction, so the hot air wouldn't come inside.
Zhou Tingyu sighed: "Your boss is making money. From breakfast to dinner, is there anything he doesn't make?"
Tang Can said: "Yes, there are also late night snacks. Our boss said that there is no trend of late night snacks for the time being. But we don't do late night snacks here, and we may extend the business hours. Of course, in that case, the waiter will The scoring team is at work. There may be someone else to manage the late night snack."
You must make money. Since you are in the catering industry, isn't it normal to go from breakfast to supper?
Tang Can invited the two of them to sit in the box, and arranged for some snacks to be served.
There is an extra share for this. As long as it is recorded, the store manager will not be asked to pay for it.
Su He would not be so stingy. Some things were still very flexible.
"Come and try the dim sum in our store."
In fact, these snacks are also sold for breakfast, so they are ready-made.
Zhou Tingyu just had breakfast at Tingxiang Farm, and he couldn't eat the hot one at all.
But at this time, when we arrived at the store, there was air conditioning, and the appetite came again.
"Come on, don't be polite. It may be your first time to eat, but the dim sum here tastes similar to the ones in our Tingxiang. Because the chefs all graduated from the same place."
The guest nodded and looked up to observe the box.
In fact, as soon as he entered, he felt the air-conditioning of Jiuding Restaurant.
This is good service, something others don’t have, but I always have.
The customer said curiously: "This method of making ice is really novel. Your boss is really imaginative."
Tang Can said with a smile: "That is true, but this is the result of our boss's learning."
The guest was curious, so Zhou Tingyu helped explain: "The owner of Jiuding Restaurant, who is also a partner of my Tingxiang, is a young boy. Don't look at him because he is young, this person is very powerful.
When negotiating, I am not an opponent. Of course, the most important thing is that he is awesome and has everyone in mind. He was a genius. He was only in his first year of high school when the Academy of Sciences issued a notice asking him to go to the Academy of Sciences to study at university.
No, I was in the Magic City some time ago. If you come here some time ago, I can introduce you to it. Now, go back and deal with things. He should be going to Yuzhang to open a branch. In addition, I heard that there is an investment fair in Yangcheng, and he should also be going to participate. "
The guest was very curious: "I must get to know this person. If there is an opportunity to cooperate, we can also cooperate."
"There's a chance."
After saying this, Zhou Tingyu told Tang Can about the purpose of today's visit: "He Yaozi is too disrespectful. You should tell me about such a good transformation. We, Tingxiang, should also transform together."
Tang Can smiled and said: "The boss only remembered this after he returned. Then he notified us at short notice, and I haven't had time to tell you yet. Besides, this modification is actually very small, and you can also add it over there. But I guess you are here to buy ice today?"
Zhou Tingyu smiled and scolded: "Yeah, I went back and did some calculations, and I think it's better to buy from you. I make it myself, and the waste caused by labor and idle space is much more than this. This man is really smart. , all the money will be earned by him, and you can’t blame him. Because he really has your best interests in mind.”
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a smart person."
Getting back to the topic, Tang Can introduced the general principle of ice making to this new guest: "Actually, with this, you can figure it out by yourself. But this is a charge for intellectual property rights. Our boss said, All knowledge is valuable.
We also tried many times before we found a safe and effective ice making process. At the beginning, the ice we made was also contaminated with saltpeter. This saltpeter is poisonous, so please bear this in mind. If ice cubes are accidentally contaminated with saltpeter, do not use them to make food. "
Tang Can repeatedly emphasized: "Our boss has said that safety is the most important thing. Therefore, the water we use to make ice is boiled water. In this way, if guests want to drink iced drinks, juice or boiled water, You can crack the ice cubes and put the finely crushed ice cubes directly into the cup, and the taste will be unique.”
The guest said with emotion: "I just listened to a paragraph today, and I heard a lot from your introduction. One is about health, and the other is about responsibility. It's really good."
Tang Can said proudly: "This is the purpose we have always adhered to. You can see that our lobby has a kitchen display window. Everything we have can be shown to guests. The purpose is to provide Provide guests with a safe and secure dining environment.”
"Indeed, I feel it too. By the way, my focus is currently in the Magic City. It seems that I also have to become a member of Jiuding Restaurant, and invite customers and friends to dine here in the future. But, you guys There are indeed fewer branches. My focus is usually on the other side of the city, and there are no branches of yours over there yet."
He can't just run around in a big circle every time, come here, right?
Tang Can smiled and said, "Where is your seat, guest?"
"West side."
"That's a coincidence. Our latest branch is located in the west. Our branch is already being renovated and will open within half a month. You can wait and come to our branch to dine at that time.
By the way, let me write you the address. On the opening day of our branch, you can get discounts on purchases, but there is no discount on membership points. Boss Zhou knows this better. Our membership points are very useful. If you, the guest, like to drink. "
In fact, all respectable families know what happened to the Luo family in the south of the Yangtze River.
This guest was obviously no exception, and he burst out laughing: "Then I know. Speaking of which, I have heard about this clear stream spring for a long time. I haven't tasted it yet."
Zhou Tingyu said immediately: "What's so difficult about this? Just wait, I'll call a few friends to come over for dinner, and we'll eat here at noon. It's really sad these days without ice, and I don't even have an appetite. Let's eat here at noon. Table, let you try it.”
"Then I'll become a member."
"No, just use mine."
"That's not possible. You can do the shopping, but I have to get a membership card."
"Huh? Hahaha, you..."
After that, we talked about purchasing ice cubes and agreed that we would call every day to agree on the quantity of ice cubes to be delivered.
After the ice arrives, payment will be made there.
This kind of regular customer, plus being the boss's partner, doesn't have to worry about the shipment arriving, but they don't want it anymore.
Tang Can also had something to say about the ice cubes melting too fast: "Actually, we also have ice basins here. If your purchase reaches a certain amount, we will send you several ice basins. Put the ice cubes into the ice basins. Inside, the cold air emitted will be preserved longer and the melting speed will be slower. However, the degree of cold air will inevitably become smaller. But within a certain distance from the human body, ice cubes can be effectively preserved to prevent the cold air from flowing out. While hurting the body, it can effectively lower the temperature.”
Tang Can brought over an ice basin. It was actually a box made of metal, but it had partitions and was packed with quilts on the outside, which could effectively prevent the temperature from dissipating too quickly.
This thing was built by Su He himself in the workshop of the portable space.
Factories outside do not yet have such capabilities.
Well, in other words, the factories he contacted did not have this capability yet.
Zhou Tingyu was speechless again: "This is really true. I have thought of everything. If he doesn't make the money, who can? But for this ice basin, I see that the craftsmanship is not low. It is difficult to make this thing. Not too small, right?"
Tang Can nodded: "It is indeed not small, so the quantity is not large. We can only give away a few, and the others will have to be purchased."
"how much for one?"
"Currently it's 50 yuan each. Because this one is made of steel and has a compartment. The main reason is that this compartment is difficult to make and the cost is also high."
Well, it is very high, the labor cost plus the cost of the machine.
At this time, there were no such advanced machines.
In the end, Zhou Tingyu purchased thirty of them and was very wealthy.
"There is no way, every yard can be equipped with it. Otherwise, the ice cubes will melt too fast, and my consumption of ice cubes will not be able to keep up. Besides, this thing can be used for many years, and it is just the first time I put it in It’s just an exaggeration.”
He is very confident in Tingxiang and can continue to open it in the future.
These hardware investments are necessary.
If you want your guests to have a good rest and have a sense of enjoyment, some investment is essential.
He borrowed Jiuding Restaurant's phone number, invited a few people over, and had a meal here at noon.
Among them, a few more ice cube businesses came over, and by the way, dozens of ice boxes were sold.
Today's turnover is quite good, very impressive.
