Chapter 45
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for building the Dwarf Elf Restaurant and gaining 5,000 experience points.]
[Congratulations to the player for reaching level 16. Congratulations to the player for achieving 4,000 daily visitors. Reward: a set of smart menus.]
【Smart Menu: Automatically generates pictures and descriptions of dishes prepared by the chef.】
Chi Yizheng discovered that every time the park's visitor flow exceeded one thousand, the game would reward some gadgets to assist in the park's operations. This was the case with the solar energy and water purification systems before, and it was also the case with the smart menu this time.
He opened the details of the smart menu and took a look. He found that after clicking it, the smart menu was completely embedded in the restaurant's table. The dishes were displayed on the touch screen, which was very convenient for customers to order. At the same time, several paper menus were also generated. At present, these menus were blank when opened. The promotional pictures would be automatically generated after the dwarfs started to prepare the food.
"Yeah, I save the money on printing menus. But how do I set the prices? Games, can this be intelligently categorized?"
[Players can explore the details page of the smart menu by themselves. ]
Chi Yizheng thought for a while and found the phone number of the food supplier who had added ingredients in the past few days.
Ever since the park announced that it was going to open a restaurant, many food suppliers have contacted it.
Chi Yizheng asked the game system to first select the three companies with the best value for money. They would provide vegetables, meat, and seafood respectively. The ingredients would be delivered early in the morning on the restaurant's opening day. However, the types of ingredients were determined two days in advance, and the deposit had been sent long ago. At this time, he pulled out the list of goods given by the previous supplier, which clearly stated the unit price and quantity of the ingredients purchased by the paradise.
He imported the contents of the list into the smart menu, and then operated on the smart menu, first setting the price to 10 times the cost of the ingredients.
Then he did the calculations. He first input the amount of ingredients for a stir-fried vegetable dish, such as cooking oil, minced garlic, vegetables, and salt. The total cost was 2 yuan, which, when multiplied tenfold, would be 20 yuan. If it were in a restaurant outside, this price would be a bit high, but in the restaurant of the theme park, this price would be very fair. After all, the services provided by the theme park are also very valuable. Then he input the amount of ingredients for a braised pork dish. The cost of various seasonings + pork belly was 8 yuan, so when multiplied tenfold, it would be 80 yuan.
"The one in front is okay, but the one in the back is a bit expensive."
Chi Yizheng realized that this calculation was not possible. After thinking about it, he imported all the prices of various dishes in medium-sized restaurants in Jinan City into the intelligent menu system, and then classified them according to similarities, dividing them into ordinary vegetables, expensive vegetables, ordinary meat, and expensive meat, and then raised the prices respectively. The price of vegetarian dishes was increased by five or six yuan compared to ordinary restaurants outside, and the price of meat dishes was increased by ten yuan.
The prices of meals in restaurants outside include all costs, but Fantasy Park is different. Points are used to build the restaurant, and points are also used to decorate, and buy tableware, stoves, tables and chairs, etc. The chefs and waiters are free labor, which means that Chi Yizheng only needs to pay a little bit of the cost of purchasing ingredients, and the rest is completely free profit.
If those restaurants outside knew Chi Yizhen’s net profit, they would be so jealous that their eyes would bleed.
But Chi Yizhen's prices were a notch higher than those of other restaurants, and it wasn't simply a matter of profit. After all, the food produced by the dwarves was already delicious, and with the added bonus of fur, as long as their reputation spread, they would have no shortage of customers. However, if the prices were set too low, it would not only impact other restaurants, but would also inevitably arouse suspicion. Sometimes, good quality and low prices don't guarantee a good meal. His goal in opening a restaurant was simply to provide a convenient place for tourists and expand the park's capacity; there was no need for such a fuss.
"That's almost it." After making some minor adjustments, Chi Yizheng updated the smart menu with one click.
In fact, the safest approach is to postpone the opening of the restaurant, let the dwarfs come over to cook all the dishes first, and then set the prices for each dish, but the problem is that time is too tight and there is no time.
After all, he still has a task to complete in competing with Fun Amusement Park. If he doesn't open the restaurant during this period and doesn't promote the dwarves as a tourist attraction, the park's tourists won't be able to withstand the pressure of the competition.
Secondly, it is not impossible to build another monster-hunting area similar to the Abandoned Park and Jasmine Town, but the speed would be too fast. Building a restaurant in two days has already aroused the suspicion of employee Meng Le. He is afraid that if another monster-hunting area is suddenly built, not to mention whether the relevant departments will notice it, his employees will not be able to bear it.
"Speaking of which, the relevant departments should have noticed the park a long time ago! Why hasn't anyone come here yet?" Chi Yishen began to mutter to himself, "And the incident of stealing glasses earlier, I've always found it very strange. Not to mention then, even now there are still many people who think the park is false advertising. Why was there someone abroad willing to spend three million on a bunch of plastic glasses? Rich people are not fools."
After Chi Yizhen finished speaking, seeing that Youxi didn't respond, he shook his head and added, "Youxi, is the situation overseas different from that in China? Or is it that there are more holes in the world barrier than just this one in China?"
The game is unresponsive.
Chi Yizheng leaned back and kicked the table leg with his foot. With the force, the swivel chair under him slid back a long distance. Then he pushed his legs on the ground a few times, and the swivel chair carried him around the room in circles. After reaching level 16, his physical condition changed more obviously. He could feel refreshed and not feel dizzy after spinning dozens of circles in a row. He could apply to be a pilot anytime and anywhere.
"Game, tell me about it, for the sake of my spinning."
Game: [Hmph.]
This "hum" is very spiritual. Although it is a mechanical sound, it expresses impatience and disdain, as if saying that this is considered a performance.
"Okay, you cruel guy." Chi Yizheng sighed in a pretentious manner, but he knew in his heart that this was not something he could know at this stage.
Anyway, the level is low now and the park is still a small one. He can wait until it reaches a dozen levels and turns the park into a medium-sized park. If he can keep this game secret for a lifetime, he will be convinced of it.
The above is the story of the night before the park opened.
At this moment, heavy rain is still falling in Jinan City, but the weather in the paradise is sunny and bright, and it is not hot at all in August.
Chi Yizheng finished Fang Jiu's interview and walked around the Dwarf Elf Restaurant. After making sure that the tourists were satisfied with the restaurant, he found an empty table, sat down, and began to flip through the smart menu.
The restaurant opens at 11 o'clock, but the dwarves go into the kitchen to work after 8 o'clock. These three hours are enough for these gourmet experts to prepare dozens of dishes.
Most foods are prepared in a few ways: frying, cooking, stir-frying and stewing.
The dwarfs' extraordinary talents allow them to quickly familiarize themselves with the ingredients and select the best combinations.
Chi Yizheng flipped through the menu for a while and was surprised to find that this group of dwarfs had copied many classic domestic dishes in such a short time, and some of the combinations he had never seen before, so he got up and went to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered, the dwarves turned their heads sharply. A group of furry elves looked at him intently with their round eyes for a while, and then all made a greeting gesture to him, the big boss.
Chi Yizhen waved his hand and said, "You guys are busy, I just came to see you, don't mind me."
The dwarfs nodded, then lowered their heads to continue preparing food. There were so many tourists coming to dine that the eight dwarfs in the kitchen had been busy until now without a break. However, they did not need Chi Yizheng to remind them, as they would take turns with their companions to go out and serve as waiters. In addition, they were a strange race, and their physical strength was much stronger than ordinary humans on Earth, so they did not feel tired.
Chi Yizheng walked around in the kitchen, tasting the dwarfs' dishes from time to time. Needless to say, the taste was more to his liking than when he was entertained at the dwarfs' home. After all, they were made with local ingredients from Earth.
But Chi Yizheng discovered one thing: there were no stew dishes on the menu. It was not because stews took a long time to make, but because these dwarves seemed to have no concept of stews.
In order to confirm his guess, Chi Yizhen asked, "Do you know how to make stewed snow pear porridge and flower tea?"
He spits out a string of stew names.
The elves' furry faces turned to him blankly. "Stew? What's that?"
