"Um...what did you say? Thank you boss?"

With half a piece of pizza in his mouth, Cui Fali raised his head and muttered something vaguely.

"Still, wheat flour pancakes are really delicious?"

"I'm asking about today's business!"

Seeing Cui Fali's expression of starving to death, Carter suddenly felt a black line on his forehead.

"Forget it, you guys eat first, and we'll talk later. Do you want something to drink? I'll buy you some."

"No, no, we're all ready! Mombat, why are you still hanging around? Go get some wine from the freezer in the kitchen! Oh, don't forget the sugar soda!"

The sugar water in Cui Fali's mouth was naturally Coke. After saying this, he turned his head and answered Carter's question.

"Didn't you see everything about today's business? Oh, by the way, you have to arrange for more people to deliver some goods tomorrow. The inventory is all sold out today!"

"Sold out? I gave away a five-day supply. Is the business so good? Why?"

Carter was really shocked when he heard this. Today was the first day the burritos were put on the shelves. He actually used up all his five-day inventory?! Isn't this too exaggerated?

"Wait, are you sure you didn't lie to me? I admit that tortillas are not expensive, and our previous estimates of its market performance were also very good, but you are too exaggerated!"

"If you're going to say we still have some salsa, ketchup, whatever, then I'm lying to you. But we're really out of tortillas and beef! Oh, and, by the way, there's wild boar. I'll tell you for myself.

You can’t believe it, the wild boar burrito was sold out in less than half an hour after it went on sale!”

"There isn't much chicken left, and I can probably make about twenty servings. You have to hire some people to kill the chickens quickly, otherwise the cost of buying ready-made chicken breasts is still too high!"

After swallowing another piece of pizza and taking another swig of beer, Cui Fali let out a pleasant belch, and then slapped his forehead as if he suddenly understood:

"Oh, by the way, I saw that business was really good at noon today, so I called all my brothers' mothers to help. This reward..."

"It doesn't matter, go to the bank to get it from me tomorrow. It's 20 US dollars per person, and the same goes for these brothers!"

Although he hasn't had time to look at the accounts yet, Carter can roughly estimate the restaurant's income today just based on the consumption of inventory.

In Carter and Trifalia's previous plan, a basic burrito consisted of a cornmeal tortilla, a portion of meat, a few slices of lettuce, and some salad dressing.

A $1 bottle of salad dressing can satisfy the demand for at least nearly 100 burritos, and the average cost is only 1 cent. Lettuce, it is impossible to calculate, the cost is less than 1 cent, and a large head of tortillas and meat.

A pound of supermarket beef, which costs about $5.50, can make about 8 beef burritos, with an average cost of 68.75 cents per piece. As for tortillas, this works out to less than 4 cents.

In other words, the total cost of a beef burrito is currently about 74 cents. According to the almost default doubling pricing method in the catering industry, a basic beef burrito should be priced at $1.48, but Carter considered the market

Based on this situation, the price dropped slightly, and the final price was US$1.35 per piece.

The chicken burrito is even lower. On average, each burrito sold can earn at least 50 cents. Their initial sales plan is to sell 200 burritos per day, which is enough! So for five days,

Just one thousand sheets, the gross profit is about US$500...

The gross profit of US$500 doesn't seem like much, but don't forget, this is only the first day! Moreover, most of the customers are Douglas citizens. The sales explosion period that I originally planned has not yet arrived!

The application for state consumption tax reduction is being processed, so the gas price at the gas station next door has not started to drop yet. Once the gas price drops, then...

Under such a profit prospect, Carter naturally did not care about the small salary of part-time workers. Instead, he thanked the aunts very gratefully, which made them a little embarrassed.

There are free meals here, and there is money to be paid...even if it is not much, but after coming and going, the conditions are good enough for the unproductive aunts!

As soon as the man felt satisfied, his eyes became kind. Under the kind eyes of the aunts, Carter continued to ask Trifali:

"These are all small things. Please tell me quickly, why is this business so good? If it can continue, I will have to arrange for people to find manufacturers to sign supply contracts. By then, the cost can continue to be reduced."

"Why can't it continue? I told you before that we can directly negotiate with the manufacturer for supply, but you don't believe me. I said that I need to test the water and see the reaction..."

Cui Fali skillfully touched the cigarettes Carter put on the table. After eating and drinking, he lit one. While feeling the beauty of life, he said casually:

"You! It's just that the good times have gone too long. You really don't know what it's like to live without money!"

"If you think about our selling price, it's 1 yuan and 24 cents! It's 36 cents cheaper than the cheapest burger at McDonald's! You may not know the concept of this..."

"Yes, I really don't have this number in mind."

Carter nodded repeatedly. In terms of catering costs or pricing attractiveness, he really didn't count. Firstly, he didn't do this business. Secondly, he lived in two lives. In his previous life, he ate takeout, and in this life he eats Jenny's love dinner or school lunch.

.

It can be said that the limbs are not working hard and the grains are not separated. This is a person like Carter. He is neither a practitioner nor has to deal with daily necessities. It would be great if he can have a vague concept...

Oh, by the way! I almost forgot to calculate the cost of oil, salt, etc. But this problem is not a big one...

Carter remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to have seen reports about selling fried dough sticks in the United States. The unit price was very high, but the merchants could not make much money. It was said that it was because of strict regulations in the United States that every time you fry fried dough sticks, all the oil must be thrown away.

Replace it with new oil. This highlights how advanced American management is, and how healthy the diet is...

Carter doesn't know whether the United States will really do this in the future. He only knows that in the United States right now, unless the oil used for frying is no longer usable, no restaurant will replace it. Changing the oil once every half month counts.

Carter has a conscience, so he doesn't need to worry too much about this part of the cost, as well as the oil consumed when frying the beef...

At the end of the month, just calculate an overall consumption value and record it as a cost!

"Let me tell you this, McDonald's now has at least 3,000 stores across the United States. Moreover, the types of food are relatively fixed, and the raw materials that need to be purchased are not complicated. In this way, they can purchase in bulk, and the cost can be said to be very, very low.

of!"

"Coupled with mechanized and automated processing, the price of the burgers they produce is definitely much lower than the normal cost of making a meal by ourselves! Even in terms of selling price, US$1.6 can make an average adult

The man is full. But if he cooks, buys vegetables, oil, salt, etc., the final cost will be higher than $1.60!"

Cui Fali exhaled a long stream of smoke, then laughed.

"The $1.60 Big Mac burger is the basis for McDonald's to open more than 3,000 stores. Then if you think about it, their price of $1.60 is very attractive to the public, and it is very cost-effective. What's more,
