Confucius and Mencius looked at each other. Mu Senlin, who had been watching him, was a little embarrassed. He took his hand and smiled: "Congratulations, Boss Mu, you made an absolutely wise choice.

I believe that in the near future, Qingshan County's rich list will definitely have your place."

Although he knew Confucius and Mencius' words were mostly comforting, Mu Lin Lin was still very happy after hearing it: "Then thank you for your kind words.

By the way, you just said that you have some experience about the buffet management, I don't know..."

Confucius and Mencius smiled softly, and the other party could agree to himself, which is probably one of the reasons.

"Boss Mu, I have already mentioned the details of the buffet just now, so I won't go into details here.

In my opinion, two key factors must be grasped for success.

One is grade, and the other is whether it is reproducible.

Reproducibility is well understood. When you open more than 5 stores, even if you are a superman, it is impossible to manage it.

At this time, you need to hire professional managers.

But because of the differences of people, there will be differences in business philosophy.

And even if it's slightly different, the result is completely close.

In order to ensure that there are no problems, there must be a template that can be copied.

In this way, let alone open 5, even if open 50, 500, 50,000, there will be no problem."

Mu Senlin nodded admiringly. In fact, what Confucius and Mencius said was not difficult to understand. At least he had listened to it once, and he had completely grasped the essence.

But the hard part is not the method, but the creativity.

The person who can think of this idea is definitely a genius among geniuses.

Seeing Mu Senlin's expression, Confucius and Mencius smiled faintly. This method is not what I thought of, but the inherent operating mode of which boutiques.

If you have time, you might as well read more and look outside.

Many times you study for ten minutes, which is harder than you and gains more from accumulating years of experience."

"That's it!" Mu Lin Lin thoughtfully.

The words of Confucius and Mencius seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him. Many doubts before were finally answered.

Confucius and Mencius continued: "As for the grade, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.

What I said is not necessarily correct, you can just use it as a reference.

Boss Mu, if I guessed correctly, your idea is still that as long as the dishes taste good, everything else is negligible.

Hua Guo cuisine emphasizes the taste and flavor.

But in my understanding, the color and fragrance in this color and fragrance not only refer to the food itself, but also to the environment where the diners are located.

Eating in a quiet and elegant private room and in a noisy hall, the experience is completely different.

I know what you want to say, the buffet is served by ordinary people. If the decoration is too luxurious, it will discourage such people.

What you said is true, but that was before.

With the improvement of people's living standards, everyone's requirements for taste have also improved.

I don’t know if you have noticed a problem. In the past one or two years, the time to eat here may not decrease, but the number of diners must be much less.

Especially students, white-collar workers, even the most common working class.

Except for the work meal, as long as it is a party, I will not come to you.

Even if your price here is much cheaper than other places.

I wonder if what I said is right?"

Mu Senlin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

He didn't believe what Confucius and Mencius had said before, but now he believes deeply.

In the recent period, especially in the last six months, many repeat customers who came to eat here have disappeared.

He had never figured it out before, but after Confucius and Mencius reminded him, he was surprised to find that these people seemed to be the student class, white-collar class and most of the working class.

The only thing that has not changed is those migrant workers who are engaged in heavy physical labor.

These migrant workers can eat one by one, and many people come here after being hungry in order to eat more.

As a result, he settled the accounts and deducted the salary of the renters, not to mention making money, but also lost a little.

Thinking of this, Mu Senlin's attitude changed drastically again. He gave a thumbs up, only admiring the eyes of Confucius and Mencius:

"Mr. Kong, what do you mean is that as long as I decorate the taste forest with high-end decorations and step up the training of the waiters, I can't change the previous decline and keep up with the trend?"

Confucius and Mencius shook his head: "This is just a basic operation, which can help you recover some customers.

But if you want to turn the taste forest into the most famous buffet restaurant in Qingshan County, you must bring forth the new in terms of dishes."

Make it the most famous buffet restaurant in Qingshan County?

Mu Lin Lin couldn't help taking a breath.

Although there are not many cafeterias in Qingshan County, there are also seven or eight.

Although my own taste forest is not the worst, it can never be the best.

He has been to the best cafeteria in the county and admires the restaurant owner's business philosophy.

In his opinion, he would never be able to surpass the opponent, but now...

"Mr. Kong, what should I do?"

Confucius and Mencius smiled and said: "I think your buffet restaurant mainly focuses on common vegetables and meat.

Although your grilled meat is well marinated, no matter how good the food is, you will get bored all day.

To retain repeat customers, the types and formats of dishes must be expanded."

"The type and format of the dishes?"

Mu Senlin raised his brows, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of concentration.

In the end he said unequivocally: "Teacher Kong, I understand what you said.

But the prices of those high-end ingredients are all high, and Taste Forest now has to pay a lot every month.

Even if the addition of high-end dishes attracts some repeat customers, they will lose more."

Confucius and Mencius glanced at him strangely: "Did Boss Mu misunderstand something?

What I'm talking about is to increase the types and forms of dishes, not to let you order expensive dishes.

You have to be willing to spend the money, how good is it to open a high-end restaurant, why bother to die in the buffet industry?"

Mu Senlin was stunned by Confucius and Mencius: "Is it not related to money to increase the types and forms of dishes?

I have deliberately calculated that for every additional product, the cost will increase in a curve.

CapitaLand is the largest buffet restaurant in Qingshan County. They provide at least 80 kinds of dishes.

Although this has attracted many customers, I have calculated that their profit is not as high as mine.

I lose money every day, let alone them.

This is completely using love to generate electricity."

Confucius and Meng smiled faintly: "You will lose money if you open a cafeteria? Your joke is a bit big.

Now the catering industry can accompany everything, but the buffet will not pay.

Compared with regular restaurants, the cost of the chef per month is enough to pay the waiter's salary.

Now that you don’t make money, it’s not the problem of this catering model, but you have not found the right trick.

For example, the type of food.

Just forget about abalone and prawns. This thing is just a gimmick. In terms of taste, it may not be much better than home cooking.

The most important thing is...expensive!"

As soon as he said this, Mu Senlin smiled instantly.

He always thought that Confucius and Mencius was the kind of unsmiling young man, but he didn't expect to occasionally burst out a cold humor or two.

"So the type of product I'm talking about must first be satisfied...cheap!

Then we have to meet the second point, novelty!"

"novel?"

"Yes, it's novelty.

You must have what others have, and you have what others don’t, so that you can remain invincible in the increasingly fierce catering industry.

do not understand?"

Seeing Mu Senlin shaking his head like a rattle, Confucius and Mencius explained: "Boss Mu, have you ever eaten catkins?"

"Catkins? Is it the seeds that spring willow trees just germinate?"

Confucius and Mencius nodded, and Mu Lin Lin said, "I didn't eat less of this stuff when I was young.

At that time, with a few friends, taking advantage of the fresh spring air, carrying a basket on one's back, blanching them in water, whether they are cold or buns, they are endless delicious."

Confucius and Mencius smiled: "It seems that Boss Mu is eating one, which is better than me.

What do you think of moving the catkins to your Taste Forest restaurant?

This stuff is everywhere in the spring, as long as you put a sign at the door of the hotel and give a suitable price, I believe you can charge as much as you want.

This thing is not precious in the countryside, but in Qingshan County, it is definitely a rare childhood meal."

Hearing that Mu Senlin's eyes lit up, and then excitedly grabbed Confucius and Mencius by the shoulders and said, "Mr. Kong, this... how did you think of it?"

This is definitely an unparalleled idea.

Although catkins are only available in spring, the words of Confucius and Mencius have given him unlimited inspiration.

There is no catkins in summer, but there are more edible ingredients in summer.

More than 70% of the green grasses that can be seen everywhere on the ground are edible.

And as long as it is handled properly, it is definitely an amazing food.

Some people may ask, the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn are easy to handle, but what should be done in winter?

You are all idiots in life who ask this question.

That's right, because the weather is freezing cold, it is really difficult to find one or two fresh vegetables in winter.

But there are spring flowers in spring, and there are wonderful things that belong only to winter in winter.

Just dry the wild vegetables collected in spring, summer and autumn, and soak them in boiling water in winter.

That taste, absolutely!

And the cost of each of these items is not high, but you need to worry a little more.

But how can you not worry about opening a restaurant for business?

But Mu Senlin still has a question: "Mr. Kong, the dishes you mentioned are really good and cheap, but you want them to show their unique charm. In addition to processing, it takes some effort, but the method is also a problem.

Take catkins as an example. The best thing about this thing is to mix it with minced meat to make buns, but we are a cafeteria..."

Confucius and Mencius glanced at him: "Who said that the cafeteria can't provide buns?

And compared with meat, steamed buns are easier to eat.

Although the process of making buns is more complicated, compared with the cost savings, you are still very cost-effective."

"This, is it really possible?"

Mu Lin Lin was a little hard to understand, "The guests who come to the cafeteria for dinner are all for the barbecue.

Let them spend more than 30 yuan to eat buns here, as long as they are not fools, it is impossible to do so."

Confucius and Mencius smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself.

I think as long as you tell them that it is a catkin bun, and then make the bun a little smaller, giving them the impression that even if they eat one or two, they will not be full. They will surely grab them the first time."

Nodded, Mu Lin Lin said: "I seem to understand that the business philosophy of a cafeteria is not only how much meat I can provide customers, but also the variety of products.

The catkins buns you mentioned are just a form. In addition to this, I can also provide dumplings, fried dumplings, fried dough sticks, spicy soup, tofu nao, eight-treasure porridge...

Does it mean this?"

Confucius and Mencius shook his head, and Mu Senlin was taken aback: "Is there anything else?"

Confucius and Mencius said: "Your understanding of the concept of form is correct. What I want to ask is, why are all of these things necessary for breakfast?

You didn’t start by opening an early store, did you?"

He was only joking, but he didn't expect Mu Senlin to give a thumbs up: "You can even guess this, amazing!"

Confucius and Mencius: "..."

He added: "There is no problem with the form, but your thinking needs to be expanded.

A qualified and super profitable buffet restaurant, in addition to common vegetables, but also a variety of specialties.

Catkins buns and dried vegetable dumplings are just some of them.

You can also add in the recently popular Western food, such as toast, a variety of dessert snacks, chicken legs, burgers, steaks, including a variety of beer drinks.

These things are relatively rare in the market, so they can be sold at good prices.

But their cost is not high at all. In the case of burgers, even if you add two slices of beef, the cost will not exceed three yuan.

Make the buns on the surface of the burger a little larger, even if the amount of food is large, five are enough to make a person full.

As for beer and beverages, one or two bottles can save at least half of the meat.

The key is to do so, not only will customers not call you profiteers, they will also give you a thumbs up.

This is the difference between intentional and unintentional.

As long as the reputation of Taste Forest is open, others dare not say that there is no problem with the reputation of Qingshan County."
