"Sister Su, the food restaurant has really lowered its prices today, even lower than the cost price. However, there are still not many diners coming there. Most of the old customers still come to eat here." Xu Lele said happily while dancing with joy.
"That's natural, because even if their current prices are lower than ours, the difference is not big, and the effect of the price reduction is minimal. When the prices are similar, people will naturally choose the one that tastes better and that they eat at every day." Su Tao talked freely.
"But now we are selling at cost price and making almost no profit. How long can we keep going like this?" Zhao Qiaoyun said worriedly with a frown on her face.
"It won't last long. We just don't make any money, but they're losing money every day." Su Tao said calmly.
Even if it takes a month, she sells it at cost price, and the cost of ingredients and other expenses can basically break even. The cost she pays is just one month's salary, which she can still afford.
-------------------------------------
A week passed in a flash, and Liu Hui from Shikefang was pacing back and forth in the restaurant.
They still had no customers this week, despite all the publicity. The profits they had made in the first three days of opening had already been wiped out in the past week. If they couldn't recover next week, they would really start to lose money.
Liu Hui's face became increasingly gloomy, and the waiter and chef Lin Jie beside him were silent.
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Liu Hui roared at the two of them.
"This~~" Xiao Li and Lin Jie both hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
Liu Hui was furious, his face livid as he cursed, "Useless! Not even a bit of talent."
Liu Hui thought about it for a long time, and finally made the decision: "Lower the price further, lower it even further. I don't believe that no one will come to eat here." If he doesn't find a solution, his restaurant will have to close down.
"But it's still going down...the cost..." Lin Jie said hesitantly. It was already sold below cost, and if the price is still down now, wouldn't the loss be even greater?
Liu Hui's eyes flashed strangely, and he said, "Let's do this..." Liu Hui whispered to Lin Jie in his ear.
Lin Jie was stunned after hearing this, and said in a trembling voice: "But, will this cause any problems?"
Liu Hui said fearlessly, "What could possibly happen? Think about it, we all got through the difficult times like this. Don't worry, there's nothing much that can happen."
"Okay then, I'll go look for the source of goods right now." Lin Jie said helplessly.
"Well, remember to make it cheap!" Liu Hui quickly reminded.
"Got it!" Lin Jie shook his head and went out.
"Boss, are we closing today?" The waiter Xiao Li said in surprise as he looked at Lin Jie leaving. How can we open the restaurant when the chef is gone?
"Why are you still open for business? Look for yourself, are there any customers?" Liu Hui slapped Xiao Li on the head and pointed around the store.
"Hurry up and get some paper and pen, write down today's price reduction notice, and mark the latest prices." Liu Hui gave the instructions.
"Oh~Okay." Xiao Li bowed and nodded in agreement.
