Chapter 103 The cafeteria is cut off from customers
At 10:30 a.m. the next day, the Hawaiian seafood buffet restaurant, which had been closed for the day, was ready to open again.
In the past three days, the cafeteria experienced nightmares. Not only was it eaten and drunk by a group of construction workers, it also seriously affected normal business.
This place has simply become a paradise for construction workers...
King crab, geoduck, salmon and barbecue are often swept away without even leaving any leftovers.
The cafeteria's daily loss is as high as 50,000.
Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list and the second-generation rich man, made a difficult decision after learning from the pain.
That’s restoring cafeteria prices!
Don’t you construction workers love buffets?
Then cancel the 88 yuan discount and directly increase it to 199 yuan per person. No matter how big your appetite is, the restaurant will not lose money.
"There is something wrong with your opening event. 88 yuan is too low..." Zhao Manli also came to the store and said to Lu Ya.
Originally, taking advantage of this opening, Zhao Manli could also make a wave of dividends in the live broadcast room.
She never expected that after the cafeteria opened, she received so many negative reviews that she was embarrassed to live broadcast it, and her face was severely swollen by the reality.
"What do you know? Opening a cafeteria is all about getting started. Of course, 88 yuan won't make money, but it will attract a lot of people!" Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, has been extremely depressed these days.
The opening price of 88 yuan can only be said to be the breakeven price. If there are many people, there will still be a slight surplus.
But if you don’t discount at the beginning and attract customers at irresistible prices, your subsequent business will be in trouble.
In fact, the wishful thinking of the top brother on the list is to use the preferential price of 88 yuan to do the biggest test of opening customer flow.
Plan for about 2 to 3 weeks, get some data, and make an estimate for future food preparation and waiter work.
"Don't you think someone is messing with you on purpose?" Zhao Manli asked.
It may be excusable that construction workers come to book the place once in a while, but every time it opens, more than 100 construction workers come to "wreak havoc". Can this be considered a coincidence?
I guess I have made an enemy.
"You have a point in saying that. Maybe it's because a big tree attracts wind, right? It's too difficult to do business now and the risk is too great..." Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, sighed.
With an investment of more than 15 million yuan, he almost staked his entire fortune on this cafeteria, and he was only allowed to succeed and not fail.
The top priority right now is to "drive away" these construction workers as soon as possible.
Only when they leave will normal passenger flow come in.
Therefore, Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, decided to cancel the preferential price in advance and sell it directly at a price of 199 yuan, trying to get these construction workers to quit in a short time.
"Look, it's almost 11 o'clock... At this time before, the army of construction workers had already arrived..." Big Brother Lu Yabiao said smugly.
I saw that my method of raising the original price was very effective. Sure enough, all those "cheap-grudging" construction workers disappeared.
The cafeteria is finally getting back to normal.
"You still have the means, it seems my live broadcast can be started again!" Zhao Manli also said happily.
Although she didn't invest a penny when the cafeteria opened, her brother promised to buy her a sports car after making money.
For the sports car and the management of the cafeteria, she is more concerned than the boss.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was quickly approaching 11:30.
It is now the peak meal time, and major restaurants have entered the busiest time of the day. As expected, construction workers have never appeared again...
However, Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, discovered a more serious problem!
So far, there are only 3 customers entering the store!
Other restaurants in the mall are already overcrowded, but his Hawaiian seafood buffet restaurant is deserted and empty.
This is impossible?
If the price returns to the original price, the passenger flow will definitely be a little less, but not so little?
Moreover, the construction workers are gone, so customers can eat boldly and with confidence...
It's almost 12 o'clock, and there is only one more customer.
Now the top brother on the list, Lu Yabiao, was panicking.
He has prepared more than 100 kinds of seafood and more than 200 people to prepare the ingredients, but now only 4 people are here?
After the construction workers disappeared, the passenger flow did not increase, and was even lower than the approximately 60 individual tourists in the previous few days.
Where did all this passenger traffic go?
"Boss, it's not good, it's not good..." At this time, a waiter went out to the toilet and shouted loudly when he came back.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, frowned.
"Come here, I'll take you to see it and you'll know everything!" the waiter pulled him and said.
So the two of them and Zhao Manli walked to the "Mediterranean Seafood Buffet Restaurant" at the corner.
It turns out that this large shopping mall opened two seafood buffet restaurants at the same time, one called Hawaii and the other called Mediterranean.
They are all buffet restaurants specializing in seafood, but their names are different. In fact, the seafood ingredients are all ordered from the wholesale market.
"How is it possible... there are so many people here?" Brother Bang came to the Mediterranean buffet restaurant and found that the restaurant was crowded and there was a long queue outside the restaurant.
Compared with the business in my own store, it is like a sky and a place.
He has inspected this Mediterranean seafood buffet restaurant before, and the occupancy rate is basically 80% a day, which is basically not saturated.
And today, there are so many people?
"Boss, you see there is an event going on at his house..." the waiter said, pointing to a notice board.
"Indulge in the rewards, the original price is 188 yuan, the current price is 98 yuan, no one will refuse!" The latest notice of the Mediterranean restaurant.
Hoho!
The Hawaii buffet restaurant has just raised its price to 199 yuan, and the Mediterranean restaurant here is discounted to 98 yuan!
The seafood ingredients of the two are almost the same, and the price is doubled. No wonder the customers come to the Mediterranean side...
Brother Bang and Zhao Manlidu were both shocked. This situation was completely beyond their expectations.
Su Nan also appeared in front of the crowded Mediterranean restaurant.
In accordance with Lin Tao's request, he negotiated a cooperation with the Mediterranean Seafood Buffet Restaurant, providing a subsidy of 90 yuan for each guest, without any additional conditions, which was just a waste of money.
When the Mediterranean boss heard this, he thought there was such a good thing?
If someone subsidizes it, it can also increase customer flow in your restaurant, so why not?
The boss immediately agreed to adjust the price to 98 yuan, and Su Nan paid the 90 yuan subsidy on his behalf.
This is Lin Tao's plan to "take the fire out of the cauldron".
If the Hawaii Seafood Buffet Restaurant offers discounts, then hire construction workers to "smash the place." If the original price is restored, then subsidize your competitors and completely cut off your customer flow!
Use your competitors to suppress you and "kill" invisible.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Boss?" Lu Yabiao, the top brother on the list, immediately felt chest tightness and couldn't stand upright. He was supported by the waiter.
He never expected that when he left the construction workers, he would gain a lot of money from his competitors.
Chapter completed!
