Starting from winning the food competition

Chapter 136 New Arrangements
The cooking of the two set meals is over, and all the set meals for today are also cooked.

A total of 20 two-star packages were sold, 16 were sold at noon, and the remaining 6 were sold before 4 o'clock in the evening, and all have been sold so far.

Soon, the last two guests of the restaurant finished their meal and left the restaurant.

Today's business hours are all closed.

"Xiao Nan, tidy up."

"Okay, brother."

The two packed up quickly, and there wasn't really much to clean up.

Soon the two of them were all packed up.

After tidying up, the two of them need to make a summary of today's business situation together.

I seldom made a summary together before, because I am already very familiar with the five-star package.

The number of set meals per day can be arranged directly by Lin Beiyang.

Lin Nanyun will not put forward too many opinions or ask questions.

Because there is no need at all, I am already very familiar with the five-star package, and I can make a decision by myself.

In addition, I have a general understanding of the overall situation in the hotel, and there is no need for two people to discuss it together.

Things are very different now.

First of all, today all are two-star packages, and none of them are five-star packages.

The two-star package has just been launched, so it is not clear what kind of situation it is.

In addition, Lin Nanyun is mainly in charge of entertaining today, and Lin Beiyang is more cooking.

Because he didn't have more time to entertain customers, so he actually didn't know the overall situation of the restaurant better than Lin Nanyun.

You can get a better idea of ​​this by asking for his opinion.

Then Lin Beiyang first asked: "Xiaonan, just after the last two set meals were sold out, I see that there are still customers coming into the store. I don't know the specific situation of these customers."

This was the first question that Lin Beiyang was concerned about. Just after the sale was over, he saw many people entering the restaurant, obviously wanting to eat.

It's just that because they were all sold out at that time, there was no way to entertain them, so they could only watch these people leave.

As for how many people came, Lin Beiyang was not particularly clear.

And how many of these people are old customers and how many are new customers, and what kind of situation these people are in, he also doesn't understand.

To say who knows more about this matter, only Lin Nanyun.

After all, she was the one who entertained the latter guests, and she was the only one who knew this matter very well.

Hearing Lin Beiyang's question, Lin Nanyun smiled and said, "Brother, there are eight people coming from behind, five of them are regular customers, and three of them are new customers."

"After learning that there were no other set meals in the restaurant, the three of them left directly without staying too long. The other five old customers asked about the specific situation in the restaurant, but after learning that there were no remaining two-star After the set meal, they all left disappointed. But they also said that they will come back when they have the opportunity later.”

"It is estimated that these five old customers will come to the restaurant tomorrow. Anyway, there is a very high probability."

When he arrived here, Lin Beiyang was still very surprised.

The other two entered the store at 5pm and left at 38pm for their meal.

It means that within half an hour, eight guests came.

Needless to say, new customers, there are also a lot of new customers entering the store at noon.

They said they chose to leave because they didn't want to wait too long.

If they are willing to wait a little longer, there may be some new customers who are willing to stay and taste.

It is understandable for Xu Beiyang to leave new customers.

I think it's a very normal thing.

If it were him going out to eat, if he had to wait in line for half an hour or even an hour.

I don't want to stay too much and stay here and wait.

Especially when I was waiting after 12 o'clock, I didn't eat until after 1 o'clock.

Many people will feel hungry, and waiting and long-term muscles will make them feel irritable.

Naturally, he would not choose to stay in the restaurant for dinner.

Regular customers are different.

They are willing to wait because they know the situation in the restaurant.

It's just that there are some special things tonight. Even if they are willing to wait, they don't have the time and opportunity.

We can only see if there is such time and opportunity in the future.

Here Lin Beiyang nodded slightly.

"I thought that 20 set meals were enough for today, but I never expected that all 20 set meals would be sold out before 6 p.m. There are other guests coming."

"The 25 packages launched today can all be sold, even 30 packages can be done."

Hearing this, Lin Nanyun was a little curious, and then asked: "Brother, today's business is so good, how many two-star packages should we offer tomorrow?"

The two of them are very confident about the two-star package from the beginning to the end.

It was thought that there would be no problems in this regard, and it turned out to be the case, without any trouble.

However, according to Lin Beiyang's initial arrangement, there is a limit to the number of set meals sold in the restaurant every day.

It is impossible to reach 30 sets of meals.

For example, today's 20 set meals are actually the largest number.

The main thing is to control the number of set meals to be cooked every day.

Hearing Lin Nanyun's question, Lin Beiyang smiled.

"Today's business is indeed very good, but don't forget, we said at the beginning that no matter how good the daily business in the restaurant is, the number of set meals cannot be set too much. There must be an upper limit and a limit."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the 20-point set meal is the largest number per day. Today is because Liu Feng brought people over, so the business is so good. As for tomorrow, I plan to reduce the number of set meals from 20 to 18. Up to [-] sets."

That's right, Lin Beiyang made a decision.

That is to reduce the number of tomorrow's set menu.

After all, there is a big gap between his place and other ordinary restaurants.

This gap is also very obvious.

Other restaurants are very popular when there is a steady stream of customers coming in to eat.

The better the business, the more money a restaurant will earn.

To be honest, they don't particularly value the reputation of the restaurant.

Most of the small restaurants like Lin Beiyang are located in residential areas or near office buildings.

These neighborhoods are basically ordinary consumers.

As long as the taste is acceptable and the price is not too expensive, they can accept it.

Therefore, even if it has a particularly large reputation, it will not have any effect.

Xu Beiyang's place is completely different. Fame and reputation are very important to him.

Whether there will be more high-star dishes and more set menus will depend entirely on fame and prestige.

It is true that the more packages sold every day, the more customers will taste them.

However, this prestige value is dispensable to Lin Beiyang.

And this way of limiting the number of packages every day is actually helpful for increasing popularity.

It is equivalent to a kind of hunger marketing, which can let more people know the situation of the restaurant.

You can have more popularity.

Today, 20 two-star meals are already the highest number. In the early days, Lin Beiyang’s rule was that there should be no more than 15 meals per day, which means that 15 is the maximum number per day.

Since the two-star package has just been launched, the situation is different.

It can be more, so adjust the quantity to 20 copies.

Judging from today's situation, the two-star package is also very popular.

In this way, you don't have to worry about sales issues and how much customers like it.

In this way, the number of packages actually does not need to be prepared so much.

18 sets are totally enough.

But this is incomprehensible to Lin Nanyun.

She has a different idea from Lin Beiyang, thinking that the more customers who come into the store to taste every day, the better.

The best way to entertain guests is to entertain them. Judging from today's situation, all 25 sets of two-star packages can be sold.

It stands to reason that it would be more normal to add a few packages for sale tomorrow.

No matter how bad it is, 20 two-star packages can continue to be launched tomorrow. Who knows that Lin Beiyang is planning to reduce two packages now, which makes her a little confused.

For things that I didn’t understand, I asked: “Brother, when you encounter such a good thing, you should increase the number of cooking sets. Why did you reduce the number of sets by two?”

Lin Beiyang knew that she would have questions about this, so he replied with a smile.

"Xiao Nan, don't forget that our restaurant has to be different from other restaurants from the very beginning, and this difference is reflected in many aspects, including the number of dishes to be cooked every day."

"Yes, in your opinion, it should be increased logically, but in my opinion, the amount of cooking should be reduced every day. After all, it is the initial stage of the restaurant's opening. I think the more famous the restaurant will be, I will do it later. It’s not too late to increase.”

"In addition, Liu Feng and the others came to join us today, as well as other regular customers, so the business as a whole is very good, and the number of regular customers who will come to join tomorrow will inevitably decrease. If the number of regular customers has decreased , then the number of packages launched will not be sold out.”

"It's okay if there are one or two servings left, we can eat by ourselves, but if there are too many left, it will definitely cause waste, and there is no need for this at all."

Then Lin Beiyang explained to her other reasons.

Finally, Lin Nanyun was able to understand what he was thinking.

After understanding Lin Beiyang's thoughts, he naturally had no other opinions.

He nodded and said: "Brother, since you have already decided, the number of natural set meals for tomorrow will be limited to 18, and changes will be made later according to the actual situation."

"Okay, of course there is no problem. The current situation is like this. As for new situations and problems discovered, it will not be too late to talk about it."

After summarizing the overall situation today and planning and arranging the general situation for tomorrow.

Lin Nanyun just left the hotel.

Business as usual the next day.

It opens on time at 11 o'clock.

Today, it also happened that there were customers coming and queuing up before the opening time.

Of course, the number of people is less than yesterday.

Yesterday, 6 people came to the door of the hotel to wait before 11 o'clock.

Today, only two people came to the hotel door ahead of time to wait.

They came at exactly 10:55, five minutes before the official opening.

After the official opening, the two entered the store and chose the two-star set meal.

Then Lin Beiyang started cooking, and Lin Nanyun naturally entertained the two.

While entertaining, other customers entered the store.

After learning that it would take more than 10 minutes to wait, three people came in without any complaints.

They are also regular customers of the restaurant, but only one of the three is a regular customer.

Is a middle-aged man.

He came here last time because he needed to do something.

So I ate a set meal at Lin Beiyang temporarily at noon.

However, for him, a set meal of 188 yuan is actually very expensive.

In addition, I didn't have time to come here recently, so I didn't have the opportunity to taste the set meal.

I happened to see a message from Lin Beiyang's circle of friends saying that the hotel has launched a two-star set meal, and the price is only 108 yuan per set.

So today I brought my wife and son who is in high school over for dinner.

Three two-star packages were selected.

The waiting time is not too long, so he is willing to stay and wait for a while.

If it takes too long, you may choose other places.

After the first set meal and the second set meal were cooked, Lin Beiyang started cooking the third and fourth set meal.

The whole cooking process was very quick with no problems.

After a while, he said to the outside: "Please come and pick up the meal for customers No. 3 and No. 4."

Hearing this voice, the middle-aged man said to the person opposite: "Wife, let's go, let's go pick up the meal."

He had already made it clear to his wife and son before that this restaurant needs to pick up meals by oneself, as well as other rules.

Because they know that the taste of the dishes is very good, so the two of them have no objection to this.

At the same time, they want to taste, what is the difference between the set meals here?How delicious is it?
When I saw the package for the first time, I didn't believe it, and I only reacted after being reminded.

"Is this really a dish that can be made?"

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would think it was a TV commercial picture, which was specially shot.

But this is the dish in front of him, it is obviously not a picture, and it is still steaming.

Then the whole person became very excited.

Then he brought two set meals to the table.

Then the man pushed the plate in front of him to the son opposite, and said: "Son, you haven't tasted the taste of Master Lin's dishes yet? And this is only a two-star set meal. You can taste it first. If you think If the taste is good and you like it, we can come and taste the five-star set meal next time."

In fact, he had offered to come and taste it before.

At that time, I thought the price was a bit expensive and unnecessary.

It just so happens that there is a two-star package this time, and the price will be cheaper.

So I thought about coming over to taste it, and then see how it tastes?
Hearing this, the two of them were not polite, just like what he said.

He himself tasted the five-star set meal before, and he knows what the dishes in the restaurant taste like.

These two people are not very familiar with the taste of the set meal in the restaurant, or they can taste it first to see what the taste is the same.

"Dad, then I'll taste it first."

Before eating, the son of a high school student said something with a smile.

"Eat it, you will definitely like it later."

"Uh-huh."

After speaking, the two began to taste the two-star set meal.
