Lu Rong's bakery is doing extremely well; it sold over 40,000 yuan worth of goods in just two hours after opening.
In particular, many students, even though it wasn't their birthday today, were drawn to the cakes at Lu Rong's shop because they looked so beautiful.
And they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Many female students, in particular, can't tear themselves away from anything they see that looks good.
I figured my birthday was just a few months away, so buying a cake wouldn't be too much to ask, right?
So, fueled by this idea, many people bought themselves a cake.
Many students also bought bread and pastries.
As can be seen from the people checking out, girls make up more than 70%.
This was truly beyond Lu Rong's expectations.
Indeed, when it comes to shopping, you really have to look to the women.
Women are indeed the main driving force behind GDP growth.
Of course, Lu Rong's bakery sells so well not only because of its appearance, but more importantly because of its taste.
Because the ingredients were of high quality and the entire production process was very standardized, it perfectly matched the recipes he had learned in the system.
This makes the food taste far better than what you get at bakeries.
Many students couldn't resist buying more after trying it once.
Without a doubt, given the current situation, it won't be long before things reach a point where...
More than half of the bakeries around the school gate will have to go out of business.
In addition, Lu Rong's prices are basically the same as those outside, or even a little cheaper.
Because Kyoto is one of the most important and developed cities in the country, prices are quite high.
Prices at some shops, including those outside Kyoto University, are generally high compared to other parts of the country.
Because both rent and labor costs are very high.
Especially for some franchise stores, the franchise fee alone can be hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan. In order to break even, the price will naturally not be cheap.
But Lu Rong is different, because the recipes are provided by the system.
The operating rights to the canteen were purchased at a low price.
There are no franchise fees or anything like that; it's just the cost of renovations and basic staff expenses.
Therefore, in terms of cost, Lu Rong's costs are much lower than those outside.
This gives them a lot of room to maneuver when setting prices.
Even though Lu Rong's prices are similar to those outside, his profit margin is not low.
For each item sold, the profit margin is generally over 50%.
Of course, it's not just bakeries; canteens, milk tea shops, and night market stalls are all profitable.
A good balance was struck between cost, price, and profit.
Students are happy to share delicious food, especially oddly shaped cakes like Lu Rong's.
Many female students couldn't wait to post about it on their WeChat Moments after buying it.
The news spread quickly, and before long, almost the entire school's teachers and students knew that Lu Rong had opened a bakery.
Good things often don't need much promotion.
Because your customers will actively promote it for you.
Lu Rong's bakery is a case in point.
Most importantly, after the students spread the word to each other...
Many people are completely captivated by those beautiful cakes.
"Oh my god, this cake is so cute! It looks exactly like a Disney princess. I want one."
"I've never seen such a beautiful cake before. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of beautiful work of art, but it turns out it's edible."
"Not only that, I heard that the taste is also top-notch, much better than what you get outside. I can't believe it... I have to go buy one too."
"By the way, your birthday just passed not long ago, so buying a cake now isn't really appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate? My birthday is in 364 days, what's wrong with buying a cake?"
"That makes sense. Let's eat first. Girls shouldn't neglect themselves."
“I just saw that Huang Lili from our class bought one too. I heard that hers costs more than 300 yuan. I want to buy one that is more expensive than hers. I can’t lose to her.”
"That stingy Huang Lili actually bought such an expensive cake. We absolutely can't fall behind. Hers is a potted plant cake. We need to buy one that's much more upscale than hers."
“300 yuan isn’t expensive. I used to buy cakes outside for 500 or 600 yuan, or even over 1,000 yuan. I think the price of cakes here by Senior Lu Rong is reasonable.”
"No, and they are all made with animal cream, which not only tastes good but is also good for your health."
"Don't say anything more, I'll go buy them right now. I really can't wait to try these cakes."
I originally thought that there would be fewer people buying cakes after the lunch break when students get out of school, but thanks to the word of mouth from many students, the cakes were much better.
Even at five or six in the afternoon, there were still just as many people.
Fortunately, Lu Rong's side has sufficient personnel and equipment.
Even with so many classmates wanting to buy cakes, they were able to make them as quickly as possible, with the whole process taking no more than an hour.
If it were an outside cake shop, aside from those that have already been made in advance...
If you order another one, you'll have to wait until at least the next day.
This made the students who came to buy the cake extremely happy.
Many students, after receiving the cakes they had been longing for, were so captivated by their beautiful and realistic appearance that they couldn't bear to eat them.
They kept using it to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.
With this, the happiness index of Kyoto University's faculty and students has reached a new level.
The cafeteria offers hundreds of dishes to choose from for meals.
