Chapter 167 Clustering Effect
"Xiaomei, Xiaoya, did you miss me?"
Qi Yan immediately took Xiaomei and Xiaoya to chat. Du Shaojie came to the kitchen and frowned.
Wang Yuxiu washed a batch of white-striped chickens in the morning, marinated them, and now they are just drying. The kitchen is clean and tidy, but how can he cook with so many white-striped chickens here?
Du Shaojie had to go to the newly bought yard, light up the fire wall first, and then take the pots and pans into the kitchen.
Sun Bo's kitchen is okay, the space is large, and there are actually three stoves.
Seeing him busy, Qi Yan, Xiaomei, and Xiaoya all ran over to help. Du Shaojie went to fetch a few buckets of water, and then brought some mutton and vegetables from home.
At noon, he made sauerkraut mutton noodles, and Qi Yan and Xiaomei were very happy to eat.
It is difficult for them to eat the food in their hometown when they are away from home, so they must eat their fill when they return to their hometown.
"It's amazing, you are a manager now. When I went to see you before, people kept calling you
'Manager Du', which took me a long time to get used to it." Qi Yan knew that Du Shaojie had contracted the snack bar, but she was still a little touched when she heard others call him "Manager Du" in person.
College students think that they are most receptive to new things and new ideas, but while they and others are just talking, the other party has already stood at the forefront of the times and contracted a snack bar.
Contracting is a new thing at the moment.
In addition to having the courage to be the first in the world, the contractor must also have certain management knowledge and professional skills. It is not enough to get things done with just passion.
In Qi Yan's opinion, Du Shaojie's cooking skills are beyond reproach, but he can actually keep up with management, which surprised her.
She had witnessed the booming business of the snack bar before, and the employees performed their duties, busy but not chaotic, and everyone respected Du Shaojie.
This kid can always bring surprises to people.
"It's just a title, don't take it too seriously. Have a good rest today, and tomorrow you and Meiqin will come to my place, and I will treat you to [Spicy Chicken]."
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, thinking that in a few years, a brick fell and knocked down 10 people, 9 of whom were managers, and one was the general manager.
Now, there are still very few managers, at least not so weak.
After dinner, Qi Yan went home to sleep.
It takes about three days and two nights or two days and three nights to take a train from Beijing. And Du Xiaomei needs to transfer in Zhengcheng, Zhongyuan, on the way back from Yangcheng, which takes a total of five days and five nights.
Both of them came back in hard seats, which was indeed very hard.
After dinner, Du Shaojie cleaned up neatly and rode his bike to the snack bar.
"How is the business today?"
When he saw Dong Jun, he asked casually.
"The situation is good. The turnover has rebounded compared with the previous few days, but it has not yet reached the peak value before."
Dong Jun was in a very good mood. The business of the snack bar has obviously bottomed out and rebounded, and it seems that it will soon return to its peak.
After this period of suffering, he gradually adapted to the pressure of competition. Looking back, it didn't seem so terrible. "You don't know how difficult it is until you experience it." The more you experience, the more valuable your success and failure are.
"Very good! Master Dong, you can't slack off in management. The quality must be consistent and the service level must keep up. As long as you do your job well, no one can defeat us."
Du Shaojie laughed. The facts were in front of him, which was more effective than how much chicken soup he gave to the other party.
Dong Jun was in high spirits and immediately launched several affordable dishes such as [Stir-fried pork with pickled mustard greens], [Dried celery and tofu], and [Scrambled eggs with tomatoes].
The lunch of the snack bar began to develop in the direction of fast food, and the effect was very good, and it was well received by customers.
After work, the account was counted, and the turnover for the day was more than 1,500 yuan, which basically returned to the normal level. Some of the new restaurants on the street have good business and some have poor business, but generally speaking, they are still acceptable.
However, it is hard to say as time goes by. Du Shaojie remembers that the failure rate of restaurants is about 50%. It is actually a very competitive industry.
The next day at noon, Qi Yan, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ya pushed Liang Meiqin to the snack bar.
There were many customers in the lobby, and it was crowded. Du Shaojie asked Huang Tingting to prepare three pepper chickens, a pot of chicken soup and some flower rolls, and then went home with them.
Huang Tingting then asked someone to send the [pepper chicken], chicken soup and flower rolls over.
"Huh? Shaojie, the taste of the [pepper chicken] in your store has changed again. It's more delicious than before."
Qi Yan couldn't help shouting after tasting it.
Liang Meiqin also smiled and agreed. To be honest, the taste is spicy and spicy enough now, which is more suitable for her taste.
Xiaomei was also conquered by the newly upgraded [pepper chicken], only Xiaoya remained calm. She was right next to her brother and came here for lunch almost every day. She got used to it after eating it often.
Later, all three chickens were eaten up, and even the chicken soup was empty.
Qi Yan and others were very full, so everyone pushed Liang Meiqin to walk on the street.
There are more and more restaurants on this street, and accordingly, customers from the surrounding areas are also beginning to gather here. This is what Du Shaojie called the "agglomeration effect", which has begun to slowly emerge.
"There are so many restaurants."
Qi Yan didn't look carefully when she came here that day, but today she suddenly found that the street was full of restaurants.
There are some that sell stir-fried dishes, some that sell snacks, and some that specialize in breakfast. There are at least 20 of them along the way.
In fact, the first industries that self-employed people entered were catering, clothing, and small commodities. The current problems that need to be solved are naturally food and clothing, and housing and transportation are the next things to be solved.
After walking around the street for a while, Qi Yan and others left together, and Du Shaojie returned to the snack bar.
Xiao Jianjun, who had already taken a break from work, was waiting for him, obviously he had something to do.
"Manager Du, I think our breakfast is a bit mixed, I want to rearrange it, do you think it's okay?"
Xiao Jianjun followed Du Shaojie to the office, and then took out a piece of paper with some of his ideas written on it.
Du Shaojie took it and read it, and then began to ponder. The other party proposed to cut out all varieties such as steamed buns and porridge, and focus on tofu brain, bone soup, fried dough sticks, oil fragrance, buns, and pancakes.
"Well, this idea makes sense. Bone soup with oil-fragrant or pancakes, tofu brain with fried dough sticks or steamed buns. At the same time, you need to make a few more side dishes and mix a hot sauce."
Du Shaojie quickly came up with an idea and agreed to Xiao Jianjun's suggestion.
He remembered a kind of "chicken hot sauce" he had eaten in his previous life. It was very delicious when eaten with pancakes. Although he had never made it, he could still figure out the general production process.
When he was not busy in the afternoon, he locked himself in the office and entered the simulation scene for simulation training.
It took a total of 50 hours for him to fix the production process and seasoning of this "chicken hot sauce", and then he could teach Xiao Jianjun and let them do it.
"Master Dong, you arrange people to prepare the ingredients now. I want to make [chicken hot sauce]."
After exiting the simulation scene, Du Shaojie took a break and then went out to find Dong Jun.
The ingredients for the hot sauce are very simple, and Dong Jun immediately sent someone to buy it back.
Next, he made a large pot of [chicken hot sauce], which he could try tomorrow to see if customers would buy it.
At 5:30 the next morning, Du Shaojie came to the snack bar.
Today was the first day of reducing the variety, and the bone soup had already been stewed. Everyone was busy with their own things, and the whole room was filled with the smell of fireworks.
When it was close to breakfast time, the snack bar opened its doors to welcome customers.
"Jianjun, if a customer orders bone soup and pancakes, you can give them a plate of [chive chili sauce] I made for free. Let's try the effect today. If it works well, I will teach you how to make it."
The chive chili sauce is temporarily free so that more customers can taste it and give their opinions.
After Du Shaojie explained to Xiao Jianjun, he served a bowl of bone soup, took two pancakes and a small plate of [chive chili sauce], and sat in the lobby to eat.
Not to mention, the bone soup made by Xiao Jianjun's team is very delicious. A bowl of it on a cold day will definitely make people warm all over.
The pancakes are relatively soft, and a spoonful of [chive chili sauce] is added. A bite is full of fragrance, and the taste is still very good.
A customer walked in, took a look at the breakfast in front of Du Shaojie, and ordered one too. He couldn't stop eating. He quickly finished a small dish of hot sauce, but there were still some pancakes and bone soup left.
"Give me another dish of this hot sauce, you can charge me."
"No problem, I'll give you more."
If it's free, the store won't charge you, and adding a spoonful of [chive hot sauce] is not a big deal.
After the customer finished eating, he was sweating profusely, but his expression looked very comfortable.
Then more customers asked for bone soup, pancakes and hot sauce one after another, and the general response was good. Du Shaojie got up and went to the office.
When the breakfast time was over, Xiao Jianjun came to him with a smile on his face: "Manager Du, today's breakfast sold very well, and the turnover was more than usual. Especially the [chive hot sauce] you made, which is very popular with everyone."
"Well, you leave later, I'll show you how to make this hot sauce once."
Du Shaojie nodded, this situation was similar to his judgment.
Breakfast is a hard job, and you have to work late at night. Simplifying the variety can reduce the intensity of labor.
With fewer varieties, you have to cultivate real "signature" dishes to attract customers, otherwise the turnover will definitely drop. The first day's experiment was very successful, and it depends on how the situation will be in the next period of time.
Afterwards, he took Xiao Jianjun to make another pot of [chive chili sauce].
The production of chili sauce is actually very simple. Xiao Jianjun quickly learned it under the other party's words and deeds.
After repeated running-in, the business project of the snack bar has basically taken shape.
Du Shaojie gradually reduced the time he spent in the store. The snack bar has perfect rules and regulations. Dong Jun, Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun and others are also trustworthy. There is no point in him spending a long time here.
But he certainly can't let go completely. He still has to go around every day when he has time.
He now takes more time to cook at the Chinese restaurant. Of course, he doesn't take every order. He will only take action if he feels that it will help his cooking skills.
He is not an employee of the Chinese restaurant, so he still has this autonomy.
