Chapter 777 should be taken seriously.
Bai Yi listened to Wang Ye's complaints, seemingly deep in thought.
After a moment of silence, she asked Wang Ye, "Is this relative of yours a woman?"
Wang Ye asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Bai Yixin understood, but then she told herself that she was probably overthinking it, "I was just guessing."
Just then, guests arrived at the door, and Bai Yi went to greet them.
Wang Ye's mood calmed down considerably, and he was too lazy to think about it anymore.
He Fen has always been impulsive and unpredictable. As long as he doesn't pressure her to have a child with Bai Yi, she can do whatever she wants.
Bai Yi calculated the store's revenue for the past month.
The shop has been open for almost a month. Wang Ye is usually busy taking care of customers, running back and forth between the front and back of the shop, and has no time to calculate these things.
After Bai Yi calculated the accounts, he found that in just one month since the store opened, the store's expenses and costs had increased by nearly 20 percent more than expected.
The store's daily turnover is very stable, but precisely because it is stable, there is no control over expenses and costs.
Now that it's a new store and there are promotions, I can just spend money wherever I want.
But over time, problems will gradually increase.
Therefore, if you want the revenue to stabilize and gradually increase, you must control costs.
Bai Yi was busy all afternoon, and it wasn't until after the evening rush hour had passed that she finally talked to Wang Ye about this issue.
"I did the math today. The daily turnover of the hot pot restaurant has been stable and the income is good, but I found that there is a lot of waste in many places, whether it is the front or the back of the kitchen."
Wang Ye didn't seem to realize it. "Really? I feel pretty good."
Bai Yi gave him an example: "This morning I saw that when the waiter was cleaning, he wanted to buy a new broom because it wasn't handy. Also, the tissues for the customers cost more than four yuan just to buy, but they just opened new ones and used them."
Since opening the store, Wang Ye has focused his attention on the customers every day, running around solving all kinds of problems that arise in the store.
The shop wasn't big, but there were about eight or nine people in total, both in the front and back. Wang Ye was a kind-hearted person who felt that since people were working for him, he should treat them well.
So what he usually says is, if you need anything, just tell him, don't be shy.
He hadn't really paid attention to what Bai Yi was saying.
"And the kitchen. I went to check it out today and found that food waste was particularly serious. Although the most important thing for hot pot is to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, that's true. But when they're cleaning the food, they throw away good and bad together. Some of them are too lazy to clean and just use half of the food."
"And those two older women, even though there were still a lot of things left, enough to be used three or four times, they just opened new ones and used them, and took the rest home to use as a matter of course."
In just one day, Bai Yi saw so many problems.
Not to mention what the situation was like in the store the month before.
Wang Ye was shocked. "Is it that serious?"
Bai Yi knew he wouldn't care about such trivial matters. Firstly, he wasn't particularly perceptive, and secondly, even if he did notice, he wouldn't think it was a big deal.
She carefully explained to Wang Ye, "This is a new store, so the initial costs will indeed be high, which is unavoidable. But since you're going to spend money, you have to spend it in the right places. If these problems continue like this, things will get more and more chaotic later on, and eventually they'll start to see waste as normal."
“I understand that you don’t want them to think that the store’s rules are too strict or that you are stingy in many ways. But without rules, there can be no order. Being good to employees is not about indulging them. If you continue like this, you will only harm yourself.”
Wang Ye's expression gradually became serious. He hadn't taken these things seriously at first, and even after he found out, he didn't know how to handle them.
But now that Bai Yi has made things so clear, he really should take it seriously.
"I understand. I'll start paying attention to this from tomorrow."
Bai Yi reminded him, "If this situation continues, you have to deal with it. You are the owner of this shop, so you have to say what needs to be said, but don't be too direct. They are all struggling to make a living, and it's not easy for them. If you say things too bluntly, they will feel uncomfortable."
Wang Ye nodded, "Okay, I've remembered everything you said."
Bai Yi handed him the accounts she had prepared, saying, "Keep these safe. You'll keep an eye on the store's daily revenue, but at the end of each month, I'll do the accounting for you, calculating the store's costs and expenses, as well as the cash flow, so you'll have a clear understanding of the situation."
Wang Yeguang felt a headache just listening to it.
They say you don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of a household. He didn't realize that being a boss isn't as glamorous as it seems until he opened a shop.
Earning more money is naturally a happy thing, but once you have less money, you have to rack your brains to figure out where the problem is.
Bai Yi yawned. Seeing her tired appearance, Wang Ye said, "Why don't you go back first? There are no more guests. I can take care of the rest."
"No need." Bai Yi pressed her temples; she was a little tired because she had been staring at the computer for too long.
She looked at Wang Ye hesitantly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, struggling with whether or not to speak.
Wang Ye noticed her staring at him, glanced at himself subconsciously, then looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something else you want to say?"
Bai Yi pursed her lips. "Do you have anything else to do later?"
Wang Ye said, "There's nothing much going on. Just finish up the last bit of work, and we'll close up shop when it's time to close."
Hot pot restaurants usually close after midnight, but there are waiters inside, so he doesn't have to wait that late.
Bai Yi looked a little awkward. "If you're free, I'll treat you to a meal later."
Wang Ye's eyes widened in utter surprise. "You're treating me to dinner?"
Bai Yi nodded. "I'm going to the branch in a few days. I'll probably be there for a long time, maybe until the end of the year at the latest."
It's almost September now, and there are still three or four months until the end of the year.
Wang Ye didn't expect her to be gone for so long this time.
However, since she married him, she has returned to Chongqing so many times that you could count them on one hand.
Wang Ye was already used to it.
He asked, puzzled, "Then why are you inviting me to dinner? It's like you're not coming back."
Bai Yi didn't know how to explain it to Wang Ye. She knew that if she said she invited him to dinner to talk about their relationship, Wang Ye definitely wouldn't listen.
