August 10th (according to the lunar calendar used in the book), eight days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yun Zhiyi called over the managers and chefs of the three shops for a short meeting.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a rare holiday, and it's a good opportunity for the store to launch some promotions and new products to boost sales.

The products in all three stores are not slow-moving, so there is no need to do any more promotional activities.

The marketing focus is directly on new product innovation, launching new products in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"At Wei Man Zhai, Mr. Lu and Chef Li, please prepare a few dishes with auspicious meanings that are suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival. These are limited-edition dishes, and they won't be served after the festival."

"By the way, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival activities, Wei Man Zhai's membership system can also be launched."

When Wei Man Zhai first started, it didn't have a high starting point because of the influence of the former restaurant.

So she started by focusing on product quality and word-of-mouth to open up the market.

Unlike Qionglu Pavilion, which started with a membership system.

With Wei Man Zhai's reputation, everyone knows the quality and won't dislike it.

However, if Weimanzhai suddenly implements a membership system halfway through, it could give people the feeling of taking advantage of loyal customers.

Launching it alongside major holidays and events makes it seem like part of the event, reducing the sense of resistance.

They can easily manipulate membership benefits later on.

Wei Man Zhai's membership system is different from Qiong Lu Ge's.

Although two new stores have opened, they are different from each other.

But Wei Man Zhai still exists as the 'number one', and its prestige is naturally different.

There are five levels of membership.

These are respectively delicious food, fine cuisine, delicacies, feast, and heavenly food.

The Delicious level is the entry level. You only need to have dined at the restaurant at least five times, with a total spending of no less than 100 taels, and pay a membership fee of 100 taels to get a Delicious Card.

This is the most basic membership level.

Of course, the benefits are only the basic version.

The amazing perk is that every time you come, you get a free sample of a new dish.

Meanwhile, the restaurant would send someone to deliver a menu to your door every day.

Of course, this is limited to within Lufeng City.

For dishes of fine quality or above, the entry requirements are higher.

The number of meals increased to ten, and each time a review of the dishes was required.

The comments were given by Lu Jingyi, Li Kui, and Yun Zhiyi.

A score of 10 is required to pass, and an average score of over 8 is needed to pass.

In addition, there is a requirement that spending or recharging must reach more than one thousand taels.

The menu at Wei Man Zhai is not expensive.

Even if you invite a full house and order a dozen or so dishes, the maximum cost would be a hundred taels of silver.

This situation is rare.

Because even when the large table in the private room is full, there are only eight people, and usually four people sit in the booths, with a maximum of six people if you try to gather them together.

There were more than a dozen dishes that we couldn't possibly finish.

Such a rare delicacy would not be wasted by diners.

So this spending restriction is designed to encourage them to swipe repeatedly.

It's very difficult to book a table at Kewei Manzhai; you have to book a long time if you want to fill the table.

This is also a way to retain customers.

However, level 2 is difficult to reach, but the benefits are good.

In addition to the benefits of the gourmet-level cuisine, the delicacy-level cuisine also offers delicious-level perks.

There's also one opportunity to book a table each month, without having to wait in line like other guests.

Moreover, the number of visits per month can be accumulated.

In short, the conditions follow the same pattern, and the benefits increase with each level.

The premium benefits now include a priority delivery service, with three opportunities per month.

The total of banquet-level and above meals, plus the option to customize one dish for each meal.

However, this is on the condition that the ingredients for this dish must be available at the restaurant.

The Celestial Food level has priority in location allocation without restrictions, but requires one day's advance notice.

In addition, there are three times a year when the chef can come to the guesthouse to prepare a customized banquet, with the ingredients provided by the restaurant and the number of dishes not exceeding eighteen.

In addition, all members receive a gift from Wei Man Zhai every month.

The gifts vary depending on the membership level.

Anyway, that's pretty much the general tone; let Lu Jingyi elaborate on the rest later.

She and Lu Jingyi had already discussed this matter.

Lu Jingyi was also prepared.

"no problem."

Yun Zhiyi nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I've already made the membership card. You can take it back with you later."

The membership cards are all standardized and made of jade bamboo from the space.

It's the same as the bamboo strips used in the vegetable stalls before.

This jade bamboo is only available in her space, which is also a way to prevent counterfeiting.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Manager Zhuo, Manager Qu, and Chef Zhang.

Manager Zhuo was recommended by Lu Jingyi and is now the manager of Yunsufang.

Manager Qu was later hired as the deputy manager of Yunsufang.

Chef Zhang is the head of the kitchen at Yunsufang, responsible for all aspects of pastry preparation.

“At Yun Su Fang, we will double the quantity of all our pastries as much as possible in the five days leading up to the Mid-Autumn Festival. We will also make a mooncake gift box with a total of eight flavors. Chef Zhang, please stay behind and I will teach you how to make it.”

"Okay." Chef Zhang nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Yun Zhiyi looked at the two shopkeepers and said, "You should finalize the mooncake gift boxes as soon as possible and rush to make them. The gift boxes must be on the shelves three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay." The two nodded at the same time.

Yun Zhiyi looked at Lu Yuanping, Liao Hongyun, and Li Fangcai.

Lu Yuanping was recommended by You Xinyue and was chosen as the manager of Qionglu Pavilion.

This person is the same age as You Xinyue, and they had some friendship in their early years.

Her husband's family were merchants. Later, their business grew bigger and bigger. He abandoned his wife and two daughters to stay at home and went to live in another city. He had already taken a concubine and had a son.

Upon learning this, Lu Yuanping immediately sent over a divorce agreement.

The wealthy man also wanted to get rid of her, so he agreed and gave her and her daughter five shops and a house in Lufeng City.

She also has some business acumen, and her businesses have been doing quite well over the years.

However, half of the business was given away as dowry when the eldest daughter got married.
