At 8:30, Jiang Jingxing and Deng Ziyi left.
The restaurant was busy until 11:30 p.m. before it closed.
If I weren't free for half a day and didn't have to make late-night snacks, I imagine many people would come for late-night snacks too.
Around midnight.
After taking a shower, Su Yan lay on the bed and answered phone calls for about half an hour.
They were all calls from Beijing congratulating her on the opening of her restaurant.
The longest conversation they had was with her mother on the phone.
The three braised food shops in Beijing are also packed with customers every day.
Li Juan has to run around to three stores every day, and now is a critical time, so she can't spare the time to attend the opening ceremony of Banrixian in Guangzhou.
"Knock knock—!"
There were two knocks at the door. Su Yan thought the door wasn't closed, and turned around in confusion.
Feng Caixia stood at the door of the room, smiling at her, and said, "Finished? Come to my office when you're done."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately got out of bed. "What are you going to the office for?"
"Look at the sales figures. Aren't you curious about how much money you made today?"
"Qianli is done so quickly?" Su Yan was a little surprised.
"She's a senior accountant now; calculating accounts for a whole day is no problem for her."
They had already arrived at the office while they were talking.
The office door was open.
Huo Qianli and Tang Li were both there.
Tang Li took three days off and did not return to his workplace during those three days.
Both of them looked happy.
Seeing the two people enter, Huo Qianli asked mysteriously, "Guess how much our sales are today?"
There were no empty tables all day; we served a total of 720 tables of guests.
Feng Caixia hesitated and said, "I guess it's a little over ten thousand."
Tang Li sat to the side, elegantly sipping tea, watching them with a smile but saying nothing.
Huo Qianli's gaze shifted to Su Yan.
Su Yan paused for a few seconds before saying, "Thirty thousand."
Feng Caixia's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Although there were many customers today, our prices were not high and our profit margin was not high. How could we earn so much in one day?"
"Boss Feng should have confidence in his restaurant," Huo Qianli said. "Today's total revenue is 58,000. After deducting all costs, the net profit is 35,000. This is a very good income. I have learned about the revenue of other restaurants on their opening day. Their net profit is only a little over 10,000, which is more than half of what we earn at Banrixian."
Feng Caixia completely lost her voice and couldn't find it for a long time.
"The private rooms at Banrixian are fully booked today, even up to three days in advance. The revenue from the private rooms is quite substantial. Basically, each table orders four to five customized dishes, and some people think the customized dishes taste pretty good, so they order one or two more," Su Yan explained.
Feng Caixia suddenly realized.
The price of customized dishes is determined based on what dishes the customer orders.
For example, dishes that are troublesome, complicated, or time-consuming are relatively more expensive, but at least eight out of ten percent of the profit is earned from them.
The prices are high, but none of the customers who ordered the customized dishes were dissatisfied.
Moreover, Banrixian has a killer dish called "Perfect Ten".
Only three servings are sold per day, and once they're gone, they're gone. Each serving costs 1666 yuan, and Su Yan makes them herself.
The "Perfect Ten" includes three custom-made dishes: desserts, stir-fries, soups, and fruits, as well as a medicinal meal.
The high price is due to the medicinal ingredients.
The ingredients used in the medicinal cuisine were all herbs that Su Yan collected when she was in Lijiapin, and they were all of excellent quality.
It's expensive, but it's definitely worth the price.
If it were any other restaurant, they might sell it for 6666 yuan; their pricing is already considered cheap.
They thought it would be good if they could sell one serving at the opening, but they didn't expect to sell all three servings by lunchtime.
"However, today's turnover is so high only because of the opening discount. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there won't be as much, and when the prices return to normal, there will probably be even less."
Su Yan gave Tang Li and Feng Caixia a heads-up.
Feng Caixia nodded. "I know that. I'm just a little surprised by today's net profit."
It's unrealistic to expect business to be as booming every day as it is today.
Tang Li said, "I'm not greedy. I'll be satisfied if the net profit can be maintained at eight to ten thousand per day after these three days of discounts."
"Aren't you greedy?" Feng Caixia laughed. "I'd be perfectly content with five or six thousand."
A net profit of five or six thousand a day is indeed a very considerable income.
"Everyone needs to have a grand goal, right? If it were Yan Yatou, her ambition would probably be even greater than mine," Tang Li joked.
Su Yan touched her nose. "Uncle Tang really knows me. My goal is between 15,000 and 20,000."
She felt it wasn't impossible.
Feng Caixia gave her a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing."
"Alright, it's getting late. Go and get some rest. You'll only get a few hours of sleep before you have to get up again," Tang Li said.
Huo Qianli works harder than them, currently holding both finance and procurement positions.
Purchasing is a lucrative job.
Originally, Su Yan and the others planned to hire someone who was experienced and honest.
But Huo Qianli didn't trust anyone else, so she took the position herself.
"Qianli, don't overwork yourself. If you can't handle it, just tell Sister Caixia," Su Yan advised.
Huo Qianli is now more worried than the three bosses.
They saw all of this.
Huo Qianli replied, "I understand, don't worry."
Huo Qianli didn't feel particularly tired.
Seeing how well the half-day business was doing, she was full of energy and felt that life was full of hope.
