Chapter 476
Su Miao had seen this method before. Her mind was working rapidly, and the smile on her face remained:
"Indeed, the lottery rules state that you can enter the lottery if you spend at least two yuan in a single transaction. If you use the rules reasonably, there is no problem.
"But the results of the lottery are really all based on luck. For example, the comrade just now won a free braised food set, and the person before him won a thermos. You see, this can't be set in advance, right?"
"Then I'm so unlucky! I usually have good luck in raffles, but why is it that I'm not lucky at your place? Not only did I eat, I also packed several kilograms of braised food, which cost more than ten yuan!"
The man looked unconvinced, and it was obvious that he was very unwilling to not get the upper hand.
This was a great start to the business, and Su Miao didn't want to let the atmosphere down for such a small matter, so he suggested this method:
"How about this? You spent over ten yuan at our house today. To thank you for your support of Su Ji, I'll pay for you to take home a small jar of our homemade soft ginger candy. What do you think?"
The shredded papaya and soft ginger candies used as prizes this time are all trial packs, and they are replaced with jars that are half the size of the regular packs. The cost is not high, but it can also make the customers who receive them happy.
The middle-aged man's expression eased slightly, but he still muttered:
"I just think my luck is too bad. Others can win good prizes, but I can only win this three-cent voucher."
At this time, an old man next to him stood up and advised:
"Young man, this lottery is just for fun. How can you expect to win the jackpot every time? Besides, we came here to eat. This lottery is just a jackpot. Whatever you win is for nothing.
Su Ji's meals are affordable and delicious, that's the real deal."
Other customers around also echoed the sentiment, with one saying, "That's right, I just won a small item, isn't it pretty fun?"
Su Miao struck while the iron was hot and said, "Thank you all for your support. We at Su Ji have always put customer satisfaction first, and the lucky draw is just a part of the fun.
Look, our meals are all made fresh on the same day, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is guaranteed. How do you feel about your meal today?"
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected the topic to suddenly turn to the dishes. He hesitated and said, "It tastes really good. I've eaten at the main restaurant before. Otherwise, the three of us wouldn't have come here specifically to eat here."
Su Miao quickly took over the conversation: "That's great! Since you approve of our taste, you will definitely come often in the future.
According to our Su Ji tradition, this lottery event is held every six months, and we will also organize other activities from time to time in the middle. Maybe you will win the grand prize next time.
And you came here today to shop and win three prizes, which has brought a lot of popularity to the store."
Don't hit a smiling person. After hearing this, the middle-aged man finally smiled:
"Okay, considering your service attitude is so good and the food is delicious, I won't bother you this time."
The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly and the store returned to its lively atmosphere.
Su Miao turned around and winked at Su Hui, who immediately understood and sped up the process of registering the winning information and claiming the prize.
Su Miao continued to greet new and old customers enthusiastically. The little episode just now did not seem to affect everyone's love for Su Ji. Instead, it made more people feel Su Ji's ability to handle problems and sincerity towards customers.
As night falls, the lights at the branch entrance light up, adding a touch of warmth to the store that has been bustling all day.
After seeing off the last wave of guests and a busy day, everyone was finally able to sit together and have a good meal.
After dinner, Su Miao, his father, Brother Yi and others gathered together to briefly summarize today’s business performance.
The turnover far exceeded expectations, and customer feedback was very positive, which encouraged everyone. They felt that Su Miao, who made the decision, was simply a combination of Wenquxing and the God of Wealth!
Su Yuanzheng looked at his daughter with satisfaction: "Miaomiao, your branch store is so successful. We must not slack off in the subsequent management and operation. We can't let customers think that it's just the beginning. This will also affect the main store."
Su Miao nodded and said, "Dad, from now on, Brother Yu will be the general manager of Su Ji Food Store. When we are not around, he will have to come and inspect the branch regularly.
Our management will hold another meeting in a few days to finalize all these matters.
In the future, we can also have some interactions between the branch and the main store to strengthen the connection between the two stores and jointly enhance the popularity of Su Ji."
Brother Yi also put forward his own ideas:
“I think we can provide regular training to our staff to improve their cooking skills and service levels.
The apprentices we are currently training are making rapid progress. In the long run, once they have become masters, we can have them participate in the training of new employees, so that we will have enough manpower when we open branches in the future."
Su Miao agreed and said, "Brother Yi is right! We need to build a professional and efficient team and have our own talent pool. Only then can Su Ji go further and further in the catering industry."
On his way home, when passing by the city center again, Su Miao noticed the small shop with a for sale sign hanging on it all year round.
After all, this shop is located in the city center and is backed by the largest business district in the entire Nanning City. It’s not that no one wants to buy it, but the business they do after buying it is not satisfactory.
Because of its location close to the department store and facing the street, the shops are very expensive. The price per area is more than twice that of Su Ji's.
Therefore, those who bought this small shop all had the mentality of making a lot of money.
Due to the limited space, the types of business that can be done are limited. Several owners have changed, but none of them have been able to meet their expected profits.
Now is an era where gold can be dug up everywhere, and they would rather resell it and use this huge amount of capital to invest in more profitable businesses.
In fact, such a small shop is very suitable for doing business that does not require customers to sit down.
The previous owners had also thought of this, so after buying it, they turned it into a convenience store, a cigarette stand and a newsstand.
The convenience store needs to display goods, but there is no matching warehouse here and the area is small, so the goods that can be displayed are not enough and they always have to be transported in to replenish them, which is a bit troublesome.
You need a license to set up a cigarette stall and the taxes are high.
Moreover, there are already two fixed cigarette stalls on this road. They put up a big umbrella and a mobile cabinet on the roadside.
With a rent of a few dollars a month, you buy a storefront worth tens of thousands of dollars and do the same business as others. Isn't that stupid?
And opening a newsstand in the most prosperous area...the profit is not commensurate with the cost.
Looking at the small shop that was shorter in depth and smaller in width than the shops next to it, like a small shop squeezed out from the gap, Su Miao suddenly had an idea.
What if it is used as a specialty store of Su Ji Grocery Factory, or... a milk tea shop?
