Chapter 489 Outrageous Manpower
Moreover, after hearing what Dang Yongge said, she suddenly felt that her plating was too simple. For the theme of "Pine, Crane and Eternal Spring", she placed pine, cypress and cranes, which symbolize longevity; for "Flowers in Full Moon", she placed various flowers and mandarin ducks, which symbolize happiness. Although she also took the age and taste of the customers into consideration, it seemed that she did not have the connotation that could stand the test of scrutiny like this table of peaches and plums all over the world.
Thinking of this, all kinds of thoughts began to stir in Zhao Xiaojing's mind.

The system, which had been silent for a long time, made a slight sound.
Zhao Xiaojing came back to her senses instantly.
Dang Yongge was still giving her comments on the stage. Zhao Xiaojing didn't want to miss it, so she temporarily put the system message aside and focused her attention on the stage.
“…is the overall score. Therefore, we will deduct 9 points for the theme fit and give you 11 points,” said Dang Yongge.
There was another uproar in the audience.
"It's too early to show off just now."
"What should I do? I suddenly feel that with this scoring system, our team won't get any points."
"Oh my god, the two judges are really serious this time."
"That's right. A monster like Yu Yiyuan has already been deducted 24 points after only reaching the second block. The points deducted are more than the points gained. How can we improve if this continues?"
"My life is in danger!"
Dang Yongge watched the contestants' reactions, narrowed her eyes in delight, and picked up the microphone again. "Now, let me continue with the third section."
The whole audience fell into a state of spontaneous silence.
"The third major area is profit. Just as Professor Nan just said, we do not approve of individual heroism. We also do not approve of abandoning profit for the sake of passion and passion. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The catering industry is all about making money. If the catering industry does not make money, it will find it difficult to develop healthily. Survival will become a problem. How can the passion continue?
While profit is important, it doesn't necessarily mean the more the better. It also doesn't mean we should sacrifice food quality or relentlessly cut costs for the sake of profit. We prioritize how to precisely control profits, ensuring we earn the money we deserve while maintaining food quality and ensuring healthy growth.
Although you're only preparing this one banquet for the competition, since you've chosen the corresponding price, you need to prepare a banquet that meets the price. Now let's take a look at the profit performance of Team 1.
As Dang Yongge spoke, he gestured and he and Nan Rongquan opened the folders on the table, each of which had a copy for them, and put on their reading glasses at the same time.
He Xi also explained at this time, "Since this is a competition and we're only serving one meal, our profit can only be calculated by deducting the expected business volume. Considering only the tables selected by our contestants, we can calculate the turnover, gross profit, and net profit. Furthermore, for net profit, we can only calculate the fixed costs of water, electricity, materials, and manpower consumed over the past two days by dividing them by 2. As for manpower, since everyone is a chef, we can ignore the differences in technical costs and use the average chef and waiter salary of 20 per hour, using the time spent by each team's ten chefs as the cost.
In this case, we can only calculate an approximation, which is relatively less precise and scientific, and there will be some deviations, but it is simpler and more convenient for comparison between different teams."
After He Xi finished speaking, he stepped aside and gestured to the assistant beside him. The assistant took out a folder exactly the same as the one Dang Yongge had on his head and began to read it.
"Team 1, turnover 18552 yuan, food purchase cost 7995.36 yuan, gross profit 10556.64 yuan, gross profit margin 56.9%, total cost 9718.07 yuan, net profit 838.57 yuan, net profit margin 4.52%
Among them, excluding the cost of food, other costs excluding 2 are 3445.42 yuan, including 693.42 yuan for consumables such as water, electricity and materials, and 2752 yuan for labor costs.
Labor costs include: Yu Yiyuan 19.5 hours, 390 yuan, Pei Yeyu 15.3 hours, 306 yuan, Jiang Liangcai 15.2 hours, 304 yuan, Yan Hong 14.9 hours, 298 yuan, Peng...Wang Zhuo, 9.3 hours, 186 yuan.
The detailed costs of each banquet set are as follows: the cost of ingredients for the all-powerful table..."
As the assistant read out the long string of data, a detailed calculation formula and list appeared on the big screen again.
Even though Zhao Xiaojing had been doing her own accounting as a boss for years, she still felt overwhelmed and dizzy when she heard such a long string of numbers. She ignored the background noise of her assistant and scanned the screen for the results at a glance.
Most of the contestants are wearing the same style as Zhao Xiaojing.
"Fortunately, this is just a competition. The gross profit margin seems normal. If the net profit margin is really like this, the restaurant will be on the verge of bankruptcy." Nian Fusheng smacked his lips as he looked at the screen.
"After all, there's no way to calculate the business volume, and there's no way to allocate the costs, so it's normal for the net profit to be low. Anyway, the program crew just wants a relatively good value. Let's forget about these items. Without looking at the results of other groups, I don't know what the normal result should be, but the labor cost is outrageous, isn't it?" Zhao Xiaojing motioned Nian Fusheng to look down.
"Where? Human cost..."
"Holy shit!" Nian Fusheng was still watching, but the fat man had already started to curse. "Isn't Yu Yiyuan really working too hard? How did he manage 19.5 hours? Doesn't he sleep? Holy shit! And there's another one with 9.3 hours? A difference of ten hours? How did they get that difference? We're on the same team, and there's a difference of ten hours?"
As the fat man complained, the players around him who had not noticed it before also discovered the highlights.
Amidst the sounds of surprise that were deliberately suppressed but could not be suppressed, after Zhu Liyuan finished presenting the data, Dang Yongge picked up the microphone.
"Everyone here is a chef, so this data should be clear to you. Let me explain it briefly. Generally speaking, for a restaurant to thrive, its gross profit margin needs to be between 50% and 60%, and its net profit between 15% and 25%. Any lower and it's difficult to survive, while any higher is a scam. At first glance, the overall gross profit margin for this data is indeed within the standard. However, a closer look at the individual table data reveals a number of issues. Since we're discussing overall profits right now, we'll leave these issues aside for now. I'll discuss them in detail later."
Now, let's talk about net profit. Because we were participating in a competition, everyone was busy for a day and a half just to prepare a single lunch. Regardless of the number of tables, the business volume couldn't be calculated according to normal standards. After all, normally, we wouldn't have to buy so many items just for this one meal. While utilities would still be used, the spread out costs would be much lower, so it's normal to be below the standard. However, according to the competition standards, Teacher Nan and I have done detailed calculations, and the net profit should be between 6% and 12%. So, in this regard, the first team failed."
