With Song Muchuan gone, the VIP room finally became a little quieter.
A few people can also relax and unwind.
"The new bar will be located in Chibao, no objections, right?"
Long before, Lu Jiuning had already given Bei Chen information about the burger's environment, rent, and advantages.
Bei Chen knew he wasn't as good as Lu Jiuning in this regard, so he entrusted the entire responsibility to her.
Seeing that no one objected, Lu Jiuning continued, "Since there is no objection, let's move on to the next item: the Beehive Bar branch will officially open for business!"
Moreover, the revenue on the first day was already beyond expectations, several times higher than the revenue at the first location of the Hive Bar.
Hearing this, Yu Haiyang smiled broadly. He had invested a lot of money in these four branches, and he would pocket a portion of the profits later.
If these four branches can maintain this momentum, they will break even soon.
This even gave him the urge to open several more stores, hoping to earn at least more money than his family gave him.
Once I've accumulated enough experience, who knows, I might even gain some respect from my father...
Lu Jiuning and Bei Chen were also somewhat delighted.
This is definitely a great start. If these four branches can all achieve good results, then I believe that more people will want to join as franchisees.
This has a significant advantage in expanding the reputation of Hive Bar and increasing its popularity nationwide.
There's nothing more gratifying than seeing a bar gradually become known to the world.
After the initial excitement, Lu Jiuning addressed the final issue: "The cocktail factory is almost ready; all we're missing now is a recipe!"
If Lu Jiuning hadn't brought it up, Bei Chen would have almost forgotten about it.
A cocktail factory is a business that can be many times more profitable than running a bar.
As for bottled cocktail recipes, this gave Bei Chen a bit of a headache.
In my previous life, there weren't many good bottled cocktails on the market.
If this were released on the market, it would definitely damage the reputation of cocktails.
After considering for a while, Bei Chen finally spoke: "I have two options now!"
Lu Jiuning and Yu Haiyang were both immediately impressed. What they feared most was not whether the plan was good or not, but that there was no idea at all.
"The first type emphasizes a slight buzz, but the taste will be inferior to the cocktails we mix on the spot."
However, there is already a mature recipe, and it can be considered a semi-finished product.
You can also add water and ice to create a drink with an even better flavor.
Or add plums and peaches, and then add ice.
Alternatively, you could incorporate elements from Genki Forest, add ice, or other styles.
This also allows buyers to experience the simplest bartending process.
It's crucial to clearly explain that this is a pre-mixed product and requires further processing.
Bei Chen was actually talking about cocktails from brands like Rio.
The recipe is indeed relatively mature, but both the flavor and texture are much worse than what is made on-site.
When mixed with beverages, it can create entirely new flavors.
Lu Jiuning wasn't entirely satisfied with the first proposal: "It sounds good, and the process of mixing it is quite enjoyable."
But you forgot one thing: people are lazy.
Most people come home exhausted after work and just buy any bottle and start chugging. Very few people actually bother to carefully prepare a drink.
That will lead to a problem: many people will just take the pre-mixed product and start drinking it.
Then their reputation will be ruined by these people.
Lu Jiuning's concerns are not without merit; such problems are unavoidable.
The result will be the same as Rio's: make a quick buck, then go downhill.
"Our best-selling cocktail right now is The Godfather, right?" That's what Bei Chen remembered.
"That's right! 'Lost Love in Times' also sold well, it's just a pity that it's a seasonal cocktail."
According to the information obtained by Yu Haiyang, "The Godfather" accounted for 8.8% of the sales volume, which is much higher than other films.
Bei Chen communicated with the system in his mind:
"Tongzi, does the Godfather cocktail have a recipe that can be preserved for a long time?"
Bei Chen possesses enough knowledge of cocktails to support him in developing recipes with a shelf life of one to two years.
I just don't know if it will take one or two years, or even eight or ten years, to figure it out.
There are too many uncertainties regarding Lu Jiuning's three-year agreement.
Since we have the system as a cheat code, it doesn't hurt to ask a question.
[The host currently has Level 3 access and this feature is not yet unlocked.]
etc!
Bei Chen was suddenly jolted!
The system is saying that this feature is not yet unlocked, not that this feature is not available; these are two different things.
"What level of access is needed to unlock it?"
[Level 2 access allows you to unlock recipes with a shelf life of six months to one year.]
Level 1 access unlocks cocktail recipes with a 3-year shelf life.
Note: Only a limited number of cocktails have such a long shelf life.
Similar to Martini, there is no corresponding recipe.
Bei Chen understood instantly!
Martinis are meant to be consumed within 3 minutes; how can they possibly retain their good taste if left out for too long?
As for six months to a year, that's more than enough.
It's much better than mixing and drinking it on the spot!
With Tongzi's reply, Beichen felt more confident: "The second plan is that I will start by studying the Godfather wine."
I already have a general direction; give me another month or two and it should be ready.
The Godfather movie, even without cinnamon smoke, will retain its original flavor.
One more thing, the shelf life might only be six months!
"Great, that's fantastic!" Lu Jiuning and Yu Haiyang's smiles were even brighter than before.
"Six months is not a problem at all; there is no need for large-scale production in the early stages."
First, produce a batch and release it to the market, then see if it is well-received.
If possible, expand it gradually!
"That's right. If necessary, we can also use scarcity marketing. The first batch will only have 200,000 bottles, first come, first served."
Such a gimmick can definitely generate a lot of traffic.
"We could also hire a celebrity to endorse it."
"Are you stupid? Isn't the title 'Mr. Mask' enough?"
"..."
Following Bei Chen's train of thought, the group unfolded and refined their ideas step by step, and the future direction of the cocktail factory was slowly taking shape.
This also laid a solid foundation for cocktails to further dominate the market...
...
Saturday, September 28th!
Beehive Bar broadcasts live every Saturday, but Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning may not necessarily participate.
However, today, many netizens heard rumors that Mr. Mask will be making an appearance, and it seems that a new song will also be released.
Many people came upon hearing the noise and rushed in...
