Half an hour later.
Lu Yiming hosted a banquet for Chen Gongzi and his party at the company cafeteria.
"Not bad, it's a nice place." Young Master Chen looked around curiously and said:
"Mr. Lu, you have no idea, your place has become so popular that it's even reached the port city."
Many people want to come and check out your restaurant.
Lu Yiming's cafeteria is even more popular than before!
The theater was completely packed!
In order to accommodate more customers, Pei Yingjun even applied to buy the shops next door!
Today, this restaurant has become a favorite spot for elite white-collar workers in Shanghai.
Many people are willing to spend 100,000 yuan a month just to eat here!
Let me put it this way.
Nowadays in Shanghai, if you don't have a black card for Lu Yiming's canteen, you'd be embarrassed to treat others!
This place has even become a venue for many business gatherings and meals!
If an ordinary white-collar worker could pull out a black card for Lu Yiming's cafeteria, they would instantly become the envy of others!
Look! That person actually has a black card for Lu Yiming's cafeteria!
His family must be very rich!
That's why they have such a high pursuit of quality of life!
There have even been cases of people using this black card to seduce girls!
This has made Lu Yiming's restaurant's black card increasingly popular, as the limited-edition and time-limited issuance strategy has led to a shortage of black cards.
This black card has now become more than just an access card; it's become a symbol of status!
And food delivery services are becoming increasingly popular!
This is the very heart of Shanghai, and a bento box costing over 600 yuan isn't considered a luxury for high-level white-collar workers.
Many people can afford it.
Compared to the pre-made meal restaurants around Shanghai, Lu Yiming's cafeteria's bento boxes are exquisite, delicious, and made with fresh and high-quality ingredients!
Even the lunch boxes are custom-made!
Using inexpensive mahogany as the material for the lunch boxes creates an understated yet slightly luxurious feel.
Many people are reluctant to throw away their bento boxes after finishing their meals.
If someone is willing to throw away their lunchbox after finishing their meal, they'll be the envy of everyone in the company.
Look, this person is even willing to throw away Lu Yiming's lunchbox from the cafeteria. He must be from a wealthy family!
Lu Yiming's canteen's approach is unique in the entire city center business district!
No wonder even Mr. Chen, who lives far away in Hong Kong, has heard about it.
"Well, it's mainly because everyone is supporting us. I was just thinking of providing some cheap and safe places to eat for my employees."
"I never expected it to grow to this scale." Lu Yiming said with a helpless smile.
To be honest, many people have already contacted Bae Young-joon recently.
They were envious of Lu Yiming's cafeteria business.
I'd like to learn how to do it too.
So they specifically came to find Pei Yingjun, wanting to join the company!
Let's create a dedicated cafeteria catering brand!
Of course, Pei Yingjun wouldn't dare make such a decision on his own, so he immediately submitted the report.
Lu Yiming rejected it outright!
joke!
Do you think you can ruin the excellent reputation of my cafeteria?
Lu Yiming knew all too well the tricks behind these so-called franchise schemes!
These people just want to use Lu Yiming's name to gain fame!
They could also learn from this and open a luxury restaurant in downtown Shanghai!
But it's just an ordinary restaurant!
It can never reach the level of Lu Yiming's cafeteria!
Lu Yiming's cafeteria has a broad base of trust!
People trust Lu Yiming's reputation and the quality of the cafeteria's food.
So even if Bae Young-joon offers a very high price, there will still be people willing to pay it!
But these people are different. They are far from being as good as Lu Yiming. They can only fool those high-level white-collar workers who like candlelight dinners!
It's completely impossible to achieve a brand effect!
That's why they wanted Lu Yiming to create his own brand so they could franchise with him!
But Lu Yiming will absolutely not grant their wishes!
Once franchising is opened, these people may initially follow Lu Yiming's requirements to purchase and prepare goods, and make dishes according to world-class standards!
But as time goes on, their greedy nature will soon be exposed!
For example, when it comes to food ingredients, imported ones are too expensive, so let's use domestic ones instead. But domestic ones are also too expensive, so let's just use those from cold storage warehouses!
In the end, they couldn't even bear to buy meat from the frozen warehouse, and instead bought ready-made meal kits and pre-cooked dishes!
Consumers aren't stupid!
Consumers will clearly notice that there is something wrong with the food!
If anything goes wrong, Lu Yiming will be the one who gets blamed!
Consumers don't care who the franchisee is; they've all chosen Lu Yiming!
Then someone might ask...
Why can't these businesses improve the quality of their food?
There are many factors.
For example, the rent, the cost of ingredients, or the cooking time being too long, which customers can't wait for...
In the end, you will sadly discover...
Restaurants in commercial areas with high foot traffic and booming business almost always use pre-made dishes!
Cheap, easy to use, and fast service!
As for customers not liking it?
Whatever!
The flow of people is so large!
If you don't eat it, some people will!
Therefore, Lu Yiming absolutely cannot allow this situation to happen.
For him, whether or not he makes money is completely irrelevant.
But no one can sabotage food or harm others under his very nose!
Food safety starts with him!
