Leng Furong was busy with her work, while Chaoge picked up the account books for the past few months and flipped through them casually.
The hotpot restaurant's revenue is about the same every day, probably because after the two stores were connected, only so many people can sit there, otherwise the revenue would be much higher.
With a daily turnover of six to seven thousand taels, even if the consumption is not too high, you can see how high the turnover rate is?
This kind of turnover is probably comparable to that of Yuefeng Restaurant.
The only thing that cannot be compared is that all the people in this restaurant are busier and harder working than those in Yuefeng Restaurant. After all, in Yuefeng Restaurant, a table of food costs dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, or even more.
Their silver sales were around 10 to 20 taels, plus drinks totaling at most 30 taels, so if they wanted to make over 8,000 taels a day, you can imagine how many guests they would have to entertain.
Unfortunately, this hot pot restaurant opened in a hurry, and there was a shortage of vegetables in the winter. If a greenhouse was built next year and more greens were planted, the number of customers would definitely increase next year.
After all, in this cold winter, ordinary people cannot eat fresh vegetables. Even some wealthy families with greenhouses cannot grow a full variety of vegetables.
This was a big mistake...
"We only worked at noon today. Maybe it was because of the New Year. We only had a little over 2,000 taels at noon."
"More than two thousand taels is already pretty good. We can make 60 to 70 percent profit from this, so we have to make more than a thousand taels.
Okay, the shopkeeper and I have prepared the red envelopes. Pick out 20 employees who are particularly active in their work, and we will give them special rewards. "
"Twenty? Sister, twenty places may be a bit too few."
Hearing Leng Furong say this, Chaoge smiled unexpectedly, "That's great, this proves that the people in this store are working very hard.
How many people do you decide to reward? But the twenty I mentioned are not the ten outstanding employees per month as mentioned before, but the best ones in a year."
“I have previously drawn up a list of people who will receive this reward. There are about sixty of them.
Since the expansion of the store, we hired seventy or eighty more people. Now there are almost one hundred and eighty people including waiters, kitchen staff, waiters, vegetable washers and dishwashers.
Sixty out of one hundred and eighty people were selected to come, and one out of three made it. Such a probability further proves that everyone worked hard and attentively.
I will keep this list and use it again at the end of next year to see whether those employees who were not selected will work harder in comparison. "
“Although all sixty are good, there are too many and there is no competitiveness. You can select the three best ones and give the remaining fifty-seven people new titles and certain rewards.
I took a look and found that you have raised their monthly salary from two taels of silver to three taels. It's only been a few months since the business was opened, and the increase has been one tael. It's not a lot, but it's definitely not a small amount. After all, they work very hard.
As for the year-end bonus, the three people who received special bonuses will each receive 30 taels of bonus, and the remaining 57 people will receive 10 taels. In addition, those who did not receive any bonuses will each receive 20 taels of bonus for the New Year. Employees who received bonuses before will also receive the bonus and the 20 taels of bonus for the New Year. All of them will be given out in full.”
"Ah? So many?"
"It's not that much. Without their hard work, how could this store earn thousands of taels a day? Even if we use a day's profit to reward them, we still can't give them all."
Leng Furong nodded, "That's true, but when you think about how hard everyone has worked these past few months, it seems worth it. So how much will the shopkeeper give?"
"The shopkeeper's monthly salary is ten taels of silver, so let's give him three hundred taels. Although he doesn't run around, he has to coordinate the overall situation, which requires a lot of brainpower and is hard work.
Besides, our shop's business is good. Unlike others, the shopkeepers watch us make money for no reason while they themselves can't even have a bowl of soup. Who would still have the heart to work for us wholeheartedly?
In fact, let alone three hundred taels, I would be willing to give five hundred taels, but I was afraid of scaring him. After all, I only spent twenty taels of silver to buy him. "
"Okay, I'll make a note of it. Then it'll be three hundred taels. We can use it as a reference next year, or we can increase it a little bit. We can't give too much at once, otherwise they will lose hope."
"Well, that's the right thing to do. You're much more rigorous in handling affairs now. I feel relieved to leave this shop to you."
Generally, a waiter or a vegetable washer in the capital city gets two taels of silver a month. Moreover, these people have life contracts that they bought back, so if they can be paid three taels of silver, it is only because they really feel sorry for their hard work.
Some stores also hired people to help out, paying them two hundred coins a month, which was considered a kind-hearted employer. Some even did not pay a penny at all, just ensuring that they had two meals a day and did not starve to death.
Chaoge always adheres to one thing: she will never treat unfairly those who treat her sincerely!
When the business was first opened, I promised these people that they would all have some assets in the future, and could even buy their own property outside the capital.
Their hotpot restaurant has been doing good business since it opened, and these people have never complained about the hard work. After just a few months of opening, and during the Chinese New Year, she naturally wants to make them happy.
While busy at noon, Chaoge went to Yuefeng Restaurant and booked twenty tables there to entertain the employees who had worked hard for several months, as if it were a New Year's dinner for them.
When all the red envelopes were distributed to everyone, the employees' eyes widened when they saw the twenty taels of silver ingots inside!
"Master, are you sure this is a New Year's red envelope?"
Huang Liang's face was filled with joy. They had never thought that after being sold, they would have new hope in life. When he received his first monthly salary, he received the monthly outstanding employee award.
At that time, the monthly salary was two taels of silver, and the reward for outstanding employees was as high as five taels of silver, which made him very excited!
Neither he nor the other ten outstanding employees had ever imagined that they could save seven taels of silver in a month by selling themselves as waiters!
They had calculated it countless times in their minds, and they couldn't contain their excitement when they thought that if they worked for another year, even waiters like them would be able to save up a hundred or so yuan!
Unexpectedly, this month the manager told them that their monthly salary would be increased to three taels of silver. This was the increase in monthly salary. Unexpectedly, they also received New Year's red envelopes. When they opened the envelopes and saw the amount, they were so excited that all their tiredness was swept away!
"Your name is Huang Liang, right?"
Chaoge had some influence on this kid. Although he seldom came to the hot pot restaurant afterwards, when he saw this kid, he was reminded of his sunny and cheerful personality when the restaurant first opened.
