After seeing off Gu Naifeng, he returned to the hotel and looked at the empty tables and chairs in the store. It was noon and no customer had come in to order. Zhou Ming realized that he had made a mistake.

The lost passenger flow is not only 80%, but almost all.

The Du's Restaurant opposite was full of guests and friends, and business was booming.

"Xiaoqiang, why don't we cancel the price increase? All the customers are gone."

Gu Naohui whispered, her face full of worry.

Zhou Ming shook his head and looked at the Du's Restaurant opposite. At a glance, he saw many customers opposite, turning their heads this way from time to time. There was a sense of "demonstration" in their casual glances.

Zhou Ming noticed these glances and immediately shook his head and smiled: Only in the face of profit can these selfish and stingy guests unite and form a force to jointly resist the price increase of Gujia Hotel.

Are these guests suddenly no longer interested in food?

Of course not, they just temporarily suppressed their pursuit of delicious food, coordinated, and prepared to wait for Gujia Restaurant to cancel the price increase before coming to spend money.

Why don’t many high-end customers who are not short of money stop coming?

Because rich people are not fools. Your restaurant can increase its price by 20% today, and it may increase by another 20% tomorrow. It will increase again and again, and finally it will increase to the point where even the rich cannot afford it.

Therefore, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for the implementation of many policies. At the beginning, almost everyone will resist.

"It doesn't matter. It's better if there are no guests to disturb us. Our hotel's renovation plan can be carried out in advance. Let's contact the construction team and strive to complete the renovation of the hotel within a month according to the standards of a three-star restaurant in the city."

Zhou Ming adjusted his thinking and decided to invest all the 1.5 million credit points he earned some time ago into the renovation and expansion of the hotel!

This is how he planned it:

The number of floors in the hotel has been increased from three to five.

The kitchen area on the first floor has doubled, and the number of dining tables in the hall on the first floor has been reduced from 16 to 8.

The second floor is a dining area for mid- to low-end guests, with 16 dining tables and 6 independent private rooms.

The third floor is the dining area for high-end guests, with 8 large independent private rooms. The environment is elegant and quiet, and the internal facilities are complete. It is specially used to entertain high-end customers.

The fourth and fifth floors are still staff living areas, but the room layout needs to be adjusted and 3-5 rooms added. Not only do you need to have a single room for yourself, but after a while, the hotel will recruit people, and new employees will also need to have accommodation. The place.

Gu Naihui opened her mouth, wanting to tell him to stop these troubles and get the guests back first, otherwise the money will be spent, the hotel renovation is completed, and the guests still don't come, then...

"Believe me, I have a way to bring the guests back, and they come back involuntarily and willingly."

The confident look in the man's eyes convinced Gu Naihui that she picked up the communication device and called a construction team over that day.

After the construction team came over with large construction machinery, they spent two days demolishing the original building structure and taking out all the valuables inside. Then they reinforced it on the basis of the original foundation. After about half a month, a brand new and beautiful five-story building appeared in front of everyone.

It takes half a month to build a building. Isn’t it a bit impossible to build a building so fast?

This speed is actually not an exaggeration, because the workers on the construction team all wear devices similar to exoskeleton mechas to carry out construction operations. Not to mention their flexible movements, the actual burden borne by the workers is less than 10% when carrying objects weighing thousands of kilograms. One, in addition, the building materials used to build houses in this world are not common reinforced concrete, but are made of lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber prefabricated panels, which are assembled and spliced ​​together. Some gaps are filled with high-viscosity industrial glue... This Planting a house is not only structurally sound, but also requires very little labor and time.

Of course, this house is just an empty shell, accounting for less than one-third of the total budget. The real big part is the interior decoration, plus the cost of adding new tables and chairs, purchasing tableware and smart kitchenware, plus purchasing Several cleaning robots and a kitchen dish ascending and conveying device (to prevent waiters from running up and down stairs with dishes), the final total expenditure exceeded 2 million credits.

And in terms of time, it took another half a month.

In this total of one month, Zhou Ming guided the construction team and decoration workers to work according to the design drawings he drew. At the same time, he was not idle on the other side. He built a small shed in the backyard of the hotel and bought it. Using a large amount of soybeans, we developed a new gourmet food series in a small shed - tofu!

Yes, there are many kinds of legume crops in this world, but the types of legume food are very few. Beans are basically used for oil extraction or livestock feed. At most, they can be sprouted, steamed beans, boiled beans, etc. Soy milk has not gone deeper into developing a complete bean recipe.

In Zhou Ming's world, in that foodie empire, soy foods include tofu, tofu curd, mapo tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, bean paste, tempeh, bean curd, etc. It can be said that successful products have been developed. There are hundreds of kinds of legumes, and many people who like to eat these foods have them on their dinner table almost every day.

This month, Zhou Ming has developed more than 30 tofu dishes, which is enough to open a table full of "tofu feasts".

After everyone in the Gu family tasted these tofu dishes, their confidence in Zhou Ming increased again, because the cost of making tofu is very low, and after it is made into dishes, the price will not be too high. It is entirely up to the customer. It is within the affordable range, has a tender and smooth taste, and has an unforgettable taste. Once launched, it will definitely be very popular among customers!

…

October 7th.

After a week of careful preparation, the Gujia Hotel, which has completed a comprehensive renovation, announced its reopening for business.

Not only that, on the day of reopening, Gujia Restaurant held another vigorous new product tasting event, attracting a large number of townspeople to watch.

When all kinds of hot tofu dishes were placed in front of the onlookers, people talked a lot amid the tangy aroma.

"Are you trying out a new product? If you don't want to eat it, you won't eat it! As long as the price of vegetables in your Gujia Restaurant doesn't drop back, I won't eat a bite!" This man had a firm look on his face and was unwavering in his resistance to the price increase in Gujia Restaurant.

"It's a free tasting. Why don't you give it a try? What's this tofu called? It smells quite delicious." Someone swallowed and said.

"You can't taste it! If you taste it, you'll be tricked. You can't do it without buying a plate. Just listen to me and don't taste it! You can't taste even one bite of the food at Gujia Restaurant!" Someone stopped this person.

"This... what does this taste like? It's so fragrant, so fresh, and so delicious! This dish called tofu and pork ribs soup is so good!" There was an exclamation from the front.

"It's spicy! Give me some water. This is called Mapo Tofu. It's so spicy, but it's so spicy, so spicy! It's so exciting!"

"This plate of stir-fried shredded pork with green pepper and fragrant seeds is very good. I feel that the dried fragrant pork in it is more delicious than the meat!"

"Stinky, this stuff really stinks. How was it made? It's even called 'stinky tofu'. Is it really edible? Give it a try. Oops, it's crispy and fragrant, and it tastes pretty good!"

"Hey, a big bowl of hot and sour tofu curd only costs 5 credits. When did the food at Gujia Restaurant become so cheap?"

"Ma Po Tofu is not expensive at all. It costs 12 credits per plate. The most expensive tofu and pork ribs soup only costs 48 credits per serving. Gujia Restaurant, has your conscience been discovered?"

"Since it's so cheap, why not go in and order two dishes? I won't consider dishes with more than 20 credits. You can try the new tofu product launched today."

"Let's go eat once and order some cheap dishes. The food at Gujia Restaurant is indeed better than that at Dujia Restaurant."

"Hey, why is it so luxurious inside? Is this the old Gu Family Hotel?"

As soon as the guests walked into Gujia Hotel, they were all surprised. They hadn't been here for a month. This... this change was really big, wasn't it?

The first impression of the store's environment is that it is bright. The walls, floors, and dining tables are all reflecting light, which can illuminate people's silhouettes.

All the chairs for guests have been changed to cushioned chairs with backrests. The backs of the chairs are also covered with a layer of red silk, giving people a very classy feel.

There are also cleaning robots running back and forth on the floor, a spacious and atmospheric kitchen, as well as the lobby on the second floor and the independent private rooms on the third floor, all giving people the feeling of a high-end hotel.

At least it's one level more upscale than the Du's Hotel across the street.

And these guests learned from Gu Dawei that in order to decorate the hotel like this, in order to provide customers with a more comfortable and quiet dining experience, and in order to allow customers to experience more thoughtful and meticulous services, Gujia Restaurant has done everything it can for customers. Everything has been considered, and more than 2 million credits have been spent on renovation costs... What Gujia Restaurant does is not to make money by any means, but to sincerely use high-quality services and high-quality meals in exchange for Customer satisfaction and trust.

When they heard that they had spent 2 million credits, some customers felt a little more balanced. Then they thought: in such a high-end place, the price of dishes is only 20% higher than the opposite, and there is such a clean and quiet dining environment, and More delicious dishes, more attentive service, a little more expensive, logically, it seems to be reasonable.

After receiving Gu Dawei's unequivocal guarantee that "Gujia Restaurant will never raise prices in the future", some customers were shaken. After eating the tofu banquet, they came back to spend the next day.

then.

On October 7, the number of customers received by Gujia Restaurant reached 1,100, with a turnover of 37,000 credit points.

On October 10, the number of customers received increased significantly, with more than 1,300 customers, and the turnover was 42,000 credit points.

On October 18, the number of customers received reached a record high of 2,200. Therefore, Gujia Restaurant had to publish job recruitment information, offer higher salary and longer working years, and recruit two kitchen workers and two waiters. Come over and earn 8 coins. At the same time, the turnover for this day exceeded 120,000 credit points.

On October 20, the number of customers consuming expensive dishes such as pickled fish, spicy crayfish, and country grilled fish increased significantly, because the prices of these dishes did not increase. Some customers who had not eaten for a long time also started to order when they saw others starting to order. I couldn't help but order a few, and then I couldn't control it. The turnover of Gujia Restaurant that day broke a record high, reaching 180,000 credit points.

On October 28, the number of customers entering Gujia Restaurant exceeded the restaurant’s capacity. In order to reduce the pressure, Gujia Restaurant recruited two takeaways and launched a “free delivery of takeaways to your home when you spend 50 credit points” Attentive service, customers can order food in advance and have it delivered upon arrival... After the takeout service was launched, it was quickly welcomed by customers. Customers sitting at home waiting for Gujia takeout gradually accounted for the majority. This undoubtedly greatly alleviated the problem. The pressure of entertaining customers at Gujia Restaurant.

After a series of measures, the profit of Gujia Restaurant has increased linearly. The consumption and eating habits of the residents of Baowan Town have also undergone tremendous changes day by day due to these measures...
