From five or six hundred to eight or nine thousand in less than 10 years!

The food is so delicious!

Everyone swarmed in.

No one is a fool. If they didn't make money, there would definitely not be so many people joining the catering industry. They must have seen others making money, so they would follow.

"This is a large number, and more people will definitely enter this industry in the future. After all, the threshold is not high. It's simple. You can set up a stall on the roadside. If you have a little money, you can also start a business by renting a shop.

, with more funds, you can build a well-decorated restaurant like me." Huang Qingqiu said.

What she actually means is that the competition will be very fierce, and the catering industry will not be easy to do.

“There will definitely be more and more people entering this industry, and the barriers to entry are low. And with so many unemployed people now, and the wages of many people not being high, seeing that there is money to be made in this industry, people will definitely flock in.

"Lu Hao nodded, "As time goes by and competition intensifies, many people will indeed not make money or even lose money."

"So, the more this happens, the more we should accelerate our development and consolidate our position before the situation becomes bad, so that we can be stable when the situation becomes serious later."

The catering industry is still in a dividend period right now!

"It sounds like you are saying that the situation is not serious at the moment, but on the contrary, the opportunities for me are quite good?" Huang Qingqiu asked.

She was very smart and accurately grasped the meaning revealed in Lu Hao's words.

"Yes, despite the large number of catering outlets now, which has increased nearly 20 times compared to 1979, but when analyzing the comparative advantages and disadvantages, the composition and background of these catering outlets must also be taken into consideration." Lu Hao said, "So

There are multiple catering outlets, including state-owned catering, community-run catering, and private catering.”

"Among them, the number of state-owned catering outlets is not the largest and only accounts for a relatively small part. However, the total sales of state-owned catering outlets account for the largest proportion, exceeding 50%. If we add in the social enterprises, then these two

They can account for about 70% of sales in the catering industry."

Socially run enterprises can be regarded as collective enterprises, that is, commune and brigade enterprises during the commune period. In addition, there are also enterprises founded by schools, streets, etc.

Although it is said to be collective, it is actually not much different from the public one.

If an individual cannot make the decision, then it belongs to the public. They just play some word games and avoid some things.

"Although there are many private catering outlets, they are not large in scale. Many private catering outlets are small vendors set up on the street. They sell fried dough sticks, steamed buns, hot-dried noodles with tofu and the like. They only have a few tables and chairs.

It’s done. If it’s bigger, rent a small shop, more than ten square meters, with limited sales.” Lu Hao said.

There are very few private catering outlets, like Huang Qingqiu's 6-story restaurant with very nice decoration.

He made a simple summary of the basic situation of state-owned catering outlets and private catering outlets.

"The service attitude of state-owned hotels and restaurants is not good, and their operation and management concepts are relatively backward, including many social catering outlets, which also have this problem." Huang Qingqiu said.

"Yes, you are very smart. You have seen the crux of the problem and know what I want to say." Lu Hao praised her.

Huang Qingqiu smiled shyly, "It was you who brought me to this level."

Lu Hao stared at Huang Qingqiu for several seconds.

"What are you looking at me for? I didn't tell any lies, everything I said was true." Huang Qingqiu thought that Lu Hao didn't believe her. "If you hadn't told me so many clues and key points, I definitely wouldn't have reacted."

"The number of state-owned catering outlets is small, but the turnover is very large. However, their management concepts are very backward, and their service concepts cannot keep up. The shortcomings are very obvious. They are externally strong but only middle-aged. Don't be afraid of them."

"Isn't that what you meant?"

Lu Hao nodded, "That's what I mean."

What Huang Qingqiu pointed out was exactly what he wanted to express.

There are two reasons why the number of state-owned catering outlets is small, but the turnover is relatively high. One is that the number of state-owned restaurants is small, but they are large in scale and can accommodate many guests, and the prices of the meals are generally relatively high.

Another point is that the customers of state-owned hotels are all people from various state-owned enterprises or government agencies. They usually choose to eat in state-owned hotels for meetings or events. One is to take care of the personal connections of state-owned restaurants, and the other is to

We ate in a state-owned hotel, which looked fancy.

This will be a similar situation even decades later.

For example, in Lu Hao's hometown, E City, there is a Phoenix Villa in the city. It is a state-owned unit with accommodation and catering, but neither the accommodation nor the catering can be praised.

The accommodation environment is not even comparable to that of a slightly larger express hotel. Many rooms have bathtubs, but these bathtubs were installed years ago and have been abandoned long ago. They are also placed in the toilet.

And catering is even worse. Even small restaurants know that if they want customers to be satisfied, eat comfortably, and have many repeat customers, the ingredients must be fresh, especially freshwater fish and other ingredients. Only fresh slaughter can ensure the quality of the meat, but

The fish that Phoenix Villa uses for cooking is frozen. The Wuchang fish, a specialty of Hubei City, is also frozen to fool customers, which ruins the name of Wuchang fish and the word "Phoenix Villa".

But even though it is so unbearable, there are still many people from government agencies and state-owned units who are on business trips or traveling to Hubei City and choose Phoenix Villa to stay.

Just because it is a state-owned unit, settling here can show your identity and status.

And this plot is even more serious now!

This is why even though the service attitude of state-owned enterprises is not good and the cooking is not necessarily good, they still have such a high sales ratio.

But this situation will not last forever, as time goes by, the situation will change.

"There are also private catering outlets. Although they are huge in number, they are very small in size. Most of them are not strong. They are not going to be successful at present." Huang Qingqiu said, "Both state-owned catering and private catering have very obvious shortcomings.

, this is my chance!”

"Yujin Restaurant is a private enterprise. I studied abroad and was exposed to some more advanced concepts from abroad. It doesn't have the temperament of a state-owned enterprise and its service attitude is good."

"Compared with private restaurants, Yujin Restaurant is much larger in scale. It is 6 floors high and the decoration is very good."

"So, Yujin Restaurant actually combines the advantages that state-owned catering and private catering lack. Now is a good time to develop Yujin Restaurant, while the business concept of state-owned restaurants has not been changed, and the service attitude has not changed.
