After returning from the store, Zhou Hai felt a little depressed.
Originally, according to his idea, he should open the business today. Whether it is a mule or a horse, one has to wander around to find out.
As a result, his eldest nephew had no intention of opening a business at all, which made him a little anxious.
After returning, Zhou Zhouhai always asked Zhou Shen, intentionally or unintentionally, how long he had planned the project and when he would officially open the business.
Seeing his uncle so anxious, Zhou Shen just smiled knowingly, but did not reveal any specific information.
Mainly, Zhou Shen has not yet fully completed some of his ideas for the store.
Opening a store is not a joke, and it is not something you can try casually. You must be prepared whether it is location selection or opening, otherwise it may end up being a failure due to lack of careful consideration.
After a simple dinner, Zhou Shen returned to his room, turned on his computer, and started his planning.
First of all, it is clear that there is a shortage of people in the store. The main staff in the store now, besides myself, are my mother and uncle.
The three of us just open a breakfast shop, which is barely enough.
As long as you prepare all the ingredients in advance, you can make it in time.
However, opening a shop early was not Zhou Shen's ultimate goal, and he didn't want his mother to work too hard, so he had to recruit two waiters to help.
Secondly, some of the tableware and other items in the store need to be replaced with new ones. Some of the original bowls and chopsticks in the store are not unusable, but they just don’t fit well.
After all, if you drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks with the red Sichuan dishes, you will feel the inexplicable spiciness before the food even enters your mouth.
Therefore, Zhou Shen decided to replace all the tableware in the store with new ones, which is in line with the positioning of a breakfast shop.
Zhou Shen searched online and found a merchant in the same city that delivered directly to his door. Then he directly selected a batch of new tableware that looked warmer and placed an order.
In addition, Zhou Shen also ordered some disposable lunch boxes, which are also for take-out for those who cannot dine in the store.
Zhou Shen asked them to put the store logo designed by himself on these tableware.
In addition, the rides in the store also need to be changed!
Zhou Shen made some designs on the software and finally made a transformation plan after learning from the design styles of many franchise chain stores in later generations.
According to Zhou Shen's renovation plan, the restaurant was completely reborn on the original basis. This meant that the shop was rented and Zhou Shen did not carry out deeper renovations, otherwise he would have wanted to renovate the interior of the house.
After the transformation plan came out, Zhou Shen explained his ideas to Zhou Hai and his mother in detail. After getting their approval, he started to make preparations.
Early the next morning, Zhou Shuhai hired a company that made store signs according to Zhou Shen's request and remade the store's sign.
Compared with the small door before, the new sign is so big that it almost blocks half of the windows on the second floor.
Moreover, Zhou Shen also changed the name of the store. The new name is "A Ray of Sunshine" Breakfast Restaurant!
This name suddenly came to Zhou Shen's mind. After all, the early morning shop is to bring warmth to people's mornings.
Then Zhou Hai hired a friend who specializes in decoration and pasted new wallpaper on all the walls in the store.
After a lot of hard work, the old store instantly changed its look!
At the same time, the waiters in the store were also in place, but there was only one, a middle-aged woman from a nearby community. She came in after seeing the recruitment notice posted outside the store.
In order to reduce the burden on his mother, Zhou Shen directly offered a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan and asked the eldest sister to sign the contract on the spot.
After all, in a second-tier city like Longcheng, the monthly salary of an ordinary waiter is only 3,560 yuan, and the monthly salary in a larger hotel is less than 4,000 yuan.
Very few people can offer such high wages in a fly restaurant like this hidden in an alleyway.
All in all, the eldest sister is very satisfied!
In addition to hardware modifications, Zhou Shen also logged into the community website, re-registered his own store, and promoted the store that was about to open.
In order to achieve the desired effect, Zhou Shen also put up the logo of the breakfast shop he had just designed and filled in some advertising copy.
"The first ray of sunshine in the morning is the delicious big buns I bring to you, plus a cup of thick soy milk, so that your day will be full of energy and vitality."
“Meet us at 8:30 in the morning, all meals are half price!”
After doing all this, Zhou Shen used hacking technology to increase the praise of his store.
Now everything is ready, all we need to do is start the business!
........
On the opening day, the whole family came to the store early!
Then we started chopping stuffings, steaming steamed buns, making porridge, grinding soy milk, and frying fried dough sticks!
Even though the store is not big, it sells many kinds of meals, most of which need to be prepared in advance.
But what made Zhou Hai and Zhou Yueling feel uneasy was that not a single customer came to the store until 7:30!
"Grand nephew, is our shop really okay? Why don't we even have a single customer?"
Zhou Shen looked at his watch and said calmly: "Don't worry, just wait!"
"Still waiting? We sell it early. If it's too late, it won't be easy to sell!" Zhou Hai said.
"Don't be impatient and let the bullets fly for a while!" Zhou Shen was as indifferent as ever!
The current situation was also within Zhou Shen's expectation. On the first day of business, it was understandable that there wouldn't be many people.
What's more, it's only after seven o'clock, and there is still more than an hour before normal working hours.
Seeing that Zhou Shen still looked indifferent, Zhou Hai said helplessly to his elder sister: "Sister, your son is really big-hearted..."
"Okay, since Shen'er said wait, let's just wait!"
"Sister, I'm impatient. I even quit my job for this store. If I can't do it well..."
Before Zhou Hai finished speaking, the gauze curtain of the store was opened, and then several young people dressed as office workers poured in!
As soon as he entered the door, a young man smiled and said: "A ray of sunshine, that's right, this is the store!"
Another young man echoed: "It's really hard to find. I hope the taste can live up to Dianping's recommendation!"
Zhou Shen immediately said: "You came here from Dianping, right?"
"Yes, your store suddenly topped the list of Dianping.com and I came here after seeing it!" the young man replied.
“To thank everyone for your patronage, all dishes are 20% off today!”
"Hahaha, this is such a good thing, thank you boss!"
Afterwards, several young people took a look at the price list on the wall and started ordering directly.
Zhou Yueling's craftsmanship is of course impeccable. After eating, these guests all expressed that it was worth their money and would come again in the future.
Hearing the compliments from the guests, Zhou Yueling was particularly happy and even more motivated!
And these few customers were just the beginning, and then customers came in one after another, and the Zhou family's breakfast shop gradually became busy!
