Full-time master

Chapter 170 Entering the Catering Industry

Luo Fei and the principal Guo Xiaohai had a good chat.

Guo Xiaohai told Luo Fei a lot of things that he didn't understand, and Luo Fei listened carefully, remembering all the minefields that Guo Xiaohai said in his heart.

"Principal, can't our school open a restaurant?"

"Not allowed." Guo Xiaohai pointed to the top, and continued to count: "Chuncheng Cooking School is a semi-private and semi-public school, so the school itself is not allowed to open restaurants."

Luo Fei savored this sentence carefully.

"The principal means that schools cannot be opened, but individuals can?"

"Ah."

Luo Fei wondered, "Then how do you distinguish between the two?"

"Simply put, the school cannot be a funder and a profit party."

Luo Fei instantly understood what Guo Xiaohai meant.

If the school contributes funds or makes a profit, then this represents the behavior of the school, but if it is an individual contribution or profit, it has nothing to do with the school, so it is a permitted behavior.

The original difference is here.

"Then the principal and other teachers have never thought of opening their own shop?"

Luo Fei felt that these people had the right time, place and people, so there was no reason why they should open a restaurant together!

"Teachers have to teach during the day, go on business trips from time to time, and serve as judges when there are cooking competitions. How can they have time to open a shop?"

"If we really open a restaurant, there must be very strict requirements, and it is impossible to do it casually."

"Besides, it costs a lot of money to open a restaurant. Many teachers have also discussed this kind of thing together, but in the end it all goes away. I feel that it is more comfortable to teach in the school."

Luo Fei probably understood what Guo Xiaohai meant.

Guo Xiaohai and the teachers had this idea in mind, but due to time and money, they couldn't fulfill this wish.

This is really difficult to do. Generally speaking, you have to account for money and time.

This is like playing online games. If you want to play very well, you can either recharge to become a member, or spend time slowly.

But there is no money or time, so it should really be taught in school.

"Principal, have you ever been to the Eight Great Projects?"

Guo Xiaohai nodded, "I've been there. Their dishes are average, but the business of Ba Da Pi is always booming, even more popular than many big restaurants."

This is what Luo Fei has always wanted to ask, why the Eight Great Pieces has no memorable features, but it can be full of seats every night.

"Can the principal tell you why?"

Guo Xiaohai took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, opened the lid of the box and shook it lightly, half of a cigarette jumped out, and then Guo Xiaohai handed the pack over.

Luo Fei stretched out his hand to signal, "Thank you, I won't."

So Guo Xiaohai lit the cigarette by himself and continued to answer Luo Fei's questions.

"Marketing is involved here, just like what we learn in culinary school is not only cooking skills, but also theoretical knowledge, including cost calculation, operation strategy, market analysis and so on."

"Big restaurants have the operating methods of big restaurants, and small restaurants also have the way of survival of small restaurants. For example, the eight major dishes you mentioned, the eight major dishes are mainly traditional Ji cuisine, supplemented by a small amount of Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine to enrich the dishes. content."

"I have been there several times, and the dishes can only be said to be quite satisfactory, so the reason why Badapi is so popular is not because of the dishes, but because of his very powerful marketing strategy!"

"My friend Luo, I'm asking you, but judging from the appearance, what kind of restaurant do you think Badashou should look like?"

Luo Fei replied without hesitation: "Mid-end...or even mid-to-high-end restaurants, the eight big ones occupy a lot of space. There are twenty small private rooms, twenty medium private rooms, ten large private rooms, and more. There are five ultra-luxury VIP rooms, and the lobby can accommodate fifty large tables, which is more than enough for a wedding ceremony.”

Guo Xiaohai smiled, "Is that so? Besides, the decoration of private rooms no matter how big or small is gorgeous, and they are equipped with air-conditioning and other equipment. Their lobby can also accommodate many people. Naluo children think that the price of dishes in such a restaurant is comparable to that of small restaurants outside. How does it feel to wake up?"

Luo Fei chewed Guo Xiaohai's words carefully.

After a while, he raised his head, and it seemed that he had discovered the secret of the booming business of the Eight Pieces!
"So that's how it is. Although Badapi seems to be a mid-to-high-end restaurant, the price of the dishes is very affordable, even similar to small restaurants that can be seen everywhere. Ordinary people don't have any pressure to spend here!"

Luo Fei thought about it again, and then added: "Whether you are eating by yourself or entertaining guests, the eight items are the first for ordinary people. They are cheap and high-end, and you will never lose face!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Guo Xiaohai's eyes, he just clicked a few words on Luo Fei, and he saw it so thoroughly.

"That's right, the eight big items are strong in this area. From the perspective of scale, environment, and taste, they are mid-range positioning, but the consumption is at a low-end level. Then who would you say is not willing to go? Can the business be bad! "

Today's conversation benefited Luo Fei a lot.

"Principal, if I plan to open a restaurant, can you provide me with a suitable chef?"

"There is no problem. We have cooperated with many hotels. The teacher will take his students to your hotel as a team. The shortest is three months and the longest is half a year. The teacher can let the team fully support your Restaurant, the premise is that your restaurant must have a certain scale, at least it must be about the same size as Badaku."

Luo Fei thought about it for a while, and this cooperation mode is not bad.

"Okay, my father should finish learning soon, right?"

Guo Xiaohai thought for a while, "Your father's crash course will take at least two months, and he should be able to graduate before the Spring Festival."

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

"This is my business card, you can call me anytime."

"it is good!"

Luo Fei took Guo Xiaohai's business card and left.

More and more, he feels that opening a restaurant is a game. The culinary school is not as simple as imagined. It not only teaches you how to cook, but also teaches you how to open a restaurant.

Luo Fei can enjoy a lot of benefits by cooperating with the culinary school, because he needs the network of the culinary school very much, so that he can avoid many detours and avoid many minefields.

Luo Fei can learn from the eight major business models, and can also create his own characteristics on this basis.

Guo Xiaohai is very concerned about Luo Fei's financial problems. After all, the culinary school's partners are not unknown people, because the teachers of the culinary school are all well-known chefs in Lin Province, and many of them have won gold medals in national chef competitions.

It's just that as these chefs grow older, they no longer have the energy and physical strength to direct in the back kitchen, so they were invited by the culinary school to be teachers.

Their salaries and treatment are good, and they can occasionally serve as judges in local competitions, so their lives are quite nourishing.
