With almost no dissatisfaction, Fang Lin nodded and decided on the signboard design.
At the same time, he also took a high look at Chai Mingzhe. He was indeed the talent Wei Tingxuan had found. He was indeed professional and reliable.
Su Xiaomeng said from the side: "Brother Fang, I found out about the hot pot restaurant where Song Baoshan and Zhang Caixia, the couple who came to get food poisoning yesterday, went to.
The hot pot restaurant they opened is none other than the Little Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant in the New District, which has been particularly popular in the past two years.
It is a prosperous area, and the rent for front-end houses is very high, three times that of the old city.
Mr. Chai and I made a rough estimate. If we rent a shop there and open a store, including rent and decoration, and then officially open for business, we will probably need an upfront investment of about 800,000 yuan."
After speaking, Su Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, we can consider other streets. In this case, we can save about 100,000 yuan per year in rent alone."
Chai Mingzhe followed: "Based on the geographical location, the rent there is indeed high, so it is not the best choice."
Fang Lin raised his hand to stop the two of them and said, "You don't have to think about the issue of capital investment.
I understand that Little Sheep in the New District has attracted a lot of traffic in recent years. There are many restaurants and shopping malls, and it is one of the biggest places for people in the county to spend money.
In my opinion, the next location selections for our chain stores must be in the most prosperous places. As for issues such as rent and rent, there is no need to consider them.
Moreover, since the owner of the Little Sheep Hot Pot Restaurant has done something disgusting, he must be prepared to be squeezed out.
The address is set next to the little suckling sheep. The closer to the little suckling sheep, the better."
"Okay." Chai Mingzhe wrote it down and discussed the decoration style with Fang Lin.
In the end, Fang Lin decided on one of the retro-style green ecological decoration styles.
Doors, counters, tables and chairs, walls, screens and other hardware are all made of boxwood.
The hall is lined with running streams, and fish and seafood are kept where customers can see them.
In addition to the scenery, it aims to make customers feel the freshness of the ingredients in the hot pot restaurant.
Indoor green plants are also essential, and the boxwoods between the partitions should be entangled with vines, so that customers can feel relaxed and happy in nature while eating hot pot.
"Mr. Fang, site selection and decoration are just hardware.
When it comes to catering, especially chain restaurants with brand value, taste and service are the most important.
I came here this morning and tasted the hot pot from our hot pot restaurant. The taste is undoubtedly excellent.
However, with all due respect, the service quality of La Dingtian Hot Pot Restaurant is not enough to support the operation and development of a chain store.
Therefore, I believe that the top priority, in addition to site selection and decoration, is to recruit a group of employees as soon as possible and provide comprehensive functional training in shifts with the employees of La Dingtian Hot Pot Restaurant.
This may be the corporate culture of Huo Fenghuang Hot Pot Restaurant in the future."
"Well, I agree with you." Fang Lin nodded.
He thought of a famous chain hotpot restaurant in China, whose service quality was nationally famous.
The taste of that store may be average, but the service is really nothing to say.
This is a good example, and we naturally need to learn from experience.
After everything that could be thought of for the time being was determined, Fang Lin left Zhang Meiyu to take charge of the remaining matters.
And he himself pulled away and left.
Opening the first chain store in Shaoning County is just the first step. When everything is on track, we will open the second store at Ershu's place in Chuzhou.
Then it’s about cultivating people and copying them. Two companies will become four companies, and four companies will become eight companies...
With his hot pot base recipe and Fenghuang Village’s unique spiritual vegetables, it’s hard for the hot pot restaurant to become popular.
After getting in the car, Fang Lin just started the car when a call came.
The call was from Wang Shaowei. After the call was answered, Wang Shaowei said: "Fang Lin, can't you attend the class reunion in the afternoon?"
"Class reunion?" Fang Lin was suddenly stunned.
But then, he remembered that Wang Shaowei called him to inform him a few days ago when he was still in the provincial capital.
Even Gu Manting, the former beauty study committee member, called him to inform him of this matter.
However, Fang Lin was busy at the time, so he casually said that he would definitely participate when the day came and he had time.
"Yes, you forgot, right?"
Wang Shaowei said: "The class reunion is scheduled for this afternoon at my restaurant."
Fang Lin pondered for a moment. If he was in the provincial capital or in the village now, he might not be too lazy to attend this class reunion.
But he happened to be in the county town now, and there was nothing important happening around him. It didn't hurt to go see his old classmates, so he asked, "What time is it?"
Wang Shaowei said: "It starts at four o'clock in the afternoon. I am still doing errands outside. I may not be able to go back for a while. If you want to participate, will you greet my old classmates first?"
"Okay." Fang Lin agreed after hearing what he said.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in less than half an hour.
He said casually: "I'm in the county town, I'll be there later."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lin thought for a moment and simply left the car and walked to Wang Shaowei's restaurant.
La Ding Tian Hot Pot City is not far from Wang Shaowei's Mangrove Game Restaurant. It's still half an hour away. It's okay to go there early. It's just a good walk.
"Mangrove Game Restaurant", in a large private room, more than ten people were already sitting sparsely.
Gu Manting, a former study committee member, was the class beauty and was always surrounded by several male compatriots.
"Gu Manting, I heard that you studied at Handong Medical University?"
A man with shiny hair kept stroking and shaking the watch worth tens of thousands on his wrist, and asked with a smile.
Gu Manting nodded and said, "Yes, Guo Jiangong, I will be a senior in the second half of the year."
Guo Jiangong sighed, flicked the watch on his wrist, shrugged and said, "It's good to go to college.
Unlike me, I stopped studying after high school. I started a small business with my family, and if I was bored for a day, I would only make money a few years earlier than you."
"Guo Jiangong, don't be ridiculous."
An informed girl next to her rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "You have made seven figures at least in the past three years, right?
I just saw that you came in an Audi.
If I could do business and earn an Audi, I wouldn’t go to college.”
Guo Jiangong waved his hand quickly and said modestly: "That's nothing, it's just an entry-level car.xdw8
After you graduate from college and start working, you won't be able to afford it in minutes."
After saying that, he continued: "There are a lot of great people in our class. Among other things, Wang Shaowei and Wang Sicheng are the rich ones.
You guys, please don't mess with me, I am nothing in front of Shaowei and Sicheng."
