Chapter 199: Never take credit
Huang Han said disapprovingly: "Now that we have reformed and opened up, competition will become stronger and stronger in the future. It is unreasonable for an overstaffed unit not to close down!"
Huang Daozhou is already in his forties. How come he doesn’t know how to mess around with cadres and employees? It has become a common phenomenon for employees to mess around. Who will be messed with in the end?
He nodded and said, "Yeah! What you said makes sense to me. Since you insist on not doing business on credit, I'll just listen to you."
Zhang Fangfen said: "I think it's better not to pay on credit, so as not to hurt your harmony when you ask for credit!"
Huang Handao: "I suggest that never giving credit should become the most basic system of the 'Business Hotel'. Even if there is no business, this system cannot be changed."
Huang Han knew that the next step was an extraordinary period when the triangular debt could not be sorted out and cut. More than 90% of the units in the country were severely burdened, and too many units were dragged to death.
No debts, no superficial turnover, can ensure that the "Successful Hotel" will not be dragged into debt disputes.
Huang Han opened a restaurant in later generations, but he would rather do less business than take credit. The results were very good, and the customers who were supposed to come would still come, and he made cash every day, which was very satisfying.
Many bad habits are acquired through habit. Restaurant owners complain that it is easy to get credit but difficult to get money!
Who can blame this? It’s not the restaurant owner!
I am saddened by my misfortune and angry that I will not argue! Everyone refuses to take credit, diners do not give cash, and they cannot eat in any restaurant. Those who must eat will definitely pay for it and continue to eat, and those who cheat to eat or drink will have to stop eating?
Zhang Fangfen said: "Okay! From now on, our family will only do cash business."
Eliminating debts will naturally eliminate the trouble of "it is easy to collect debts but difficult to collect". Moreover, collecting debts also requires manpower! This is not a cost!
Check out on the spot and give some discounts on the spot. You really don’t suffer any loss. It’s just hello, hello to me and hello to everyone. Why not?
Huang Xin said: "Mom, Dad, two tables of guests have made comments today!"
Zhang Fangfen was very concerned about the customer's feedback and immediately asked: "What did they say?"
"People think it's too bland because it doesn't have meat. They ask why my family doesn't sell braised pork?"
Huang Han had already realized this problem. When a small businessman saw that a large restaurant had opened here, he secretly came to the store to sell pork.
Zhang Fangfen was busy cooking, Huang Daozhou was busy accompanying the guests, and Huang Han had a chat with him.
Huang Han said: "Mom, I will cook a big pot of pork early tomorrow morning. I have already made an agreement with the meat buyer. They will send thirty kilograms of ribs of pork belly early tomorrow morning for eighty cents per kilogram."
Zhang Fangfen said in surprise: "Hey, it's thirty pounds! It won't be sold tomorrow! It's so hot, I can't keep it!"
"Haha! If you still can't sell it at night, I'll eat it myself, give it to the neighbors in front of me, and give it to the customers in the store."
"Ah? How much money will this waste?"
"Don't waste it. If you really do this, in less than three days, all the snakeheaded fish in my restaurant will be killed alive, and the summer braised pork will be widely spread in just one night. Giving away ten kilograms of meat only costs ten yuan, so it's worth it!"
Zhang Fangfen looked shocked. She thought about it again and again before making up her mind: "I listen to you, let's try cooking a big pot of meat tomorrow!"
Huang Xin said: "That's great. Tomorrow there won't be any guests who think my house doesn't have meat and it's not satisfying to eat!"
At Huang Han's suggestion, Zhang Fangfen divided the work among Xiu'er, Yu'er and Yulan early in the morning on the 30th, before cooking the big pot of meat.
Magnolia is shy but has nimble hands and feet. She is responsible for killing snakeheaded fish, washing crayfish and preparing vegetables and ingredients.
Xiu'er is steady and responsible for garnishing and cooking the dishes, while Yu'er is lively and generous. Ordering, serving, and serving drinks are all her job.
The clear division of labor is only when the store takes in customers and starts doing business. Of course, three people do the preliminary preparation work such as picking vegetables, cutting and washing.
After business hours, the three of us cleaned, washed dishes, and wiped the tables together.
Huang Han's request was very simple. Zhang Fangfen would only help with the work for two or three hours during the busiest time, and would be responsible for checking out and collecting money during the rest of the time.
Huang Xin's job of helping with the checkout during the summer vacation was temporary. After going to school, she had to study hard.
There were four people in the store, led by Zhang Fangfen, as well as Huang Daozhou and Huang Huiwu, who were helping to take care of the meal, so they were completely busy.
It has just opened, and everyone has a running-in period. It only takes a few days to get used to it. At that time, even if Huang Xin has time, she does not need to interfere.
I originally expected that the business on the second day would not be as good as the first day, but it turned out that was not the case.
It was just after eleven o'clock at noon, and all eight square tables were occupied by diners.
A large bowl of braised pork, no less than a kilogram of pork belly. The raw materials cost more than one yuan. The store sells it for two yuan, and the gross profit is only 40%. Of course, customers find it affordable.
The most important thing is that "big pot meat" has its own characteristics. A small family buying two or three kilograms of meat will never be able to taste that kind of meat!
The promotional slogan written by Huang Daozhou on red paper is "The big pot of meat in the guest house, it feels unauthentic after eating it, no money is required!"
Eight tables of guests all ordered this big dish, and even one table was crowded with ten grown men. It looked like a foreman hiring a bricklayer or a small laborer.
They didn't drink. They ordered one portion of pickled fish, three portions of braised pork and two vegetables, two large bowls of egg drop soup, and finished a rice cooker full of rice.
When Yu'er cleared the table, she found that not even a drop of soup was left in the three braised pork bowls.
When checking out, he was supposed to pay ten yuan and fifty cents, so Huang Han asked Huang Xin to collect the ten yuan and return the other ten yuan note.
The burping contractor didn't expect it at all. He suddenly smiled and said:
"Your rice is very fragrant, and the braised pork is more authentic than the one in the guest house. If I come back tomorrow, there will still be so many people at one table, so your family will prepare two tables just like today!"
It turned out that this contractor had taken over a job of subcontracting labor and materials, and was making some money. However, the owner did not care about the food, so they had to set up their own stove to deal with it for a week.
It's not good for a grown man to do physical work without having enough water in his stomach. Today, the contractor brought nine strong men to the restaurant for a good meal.
Seeing that the food was delicious today, eating a lot of meat cost one yuan per person, which was quite cost-effective. I remembered that the pouring tomorrow will require everyone to work hard.
The contractor decided to come here to eat again tomorrow and brought the women to have a meal of meat rice.
Huang Xin was smart. Seeing that the seats were full today, she was worried that this person would not keep his words and delay tomorrow's business. She smiled and said:
"Uncle, you'd better come earlier tomorrow. As you can see, if you come late, there may be no table!"
The contractor was a bit arrogant and knew how to do things. He handed the ten-dollar note to Huang Xin and said:
"Little girl, this money is a deposit. You can leave two tables for me at noon tomorrow. The food and dishes will be served as today. We will be there on time at 11:30, and I will be able to eat as soon as I ask for it!"
