Chapter 261 Simo Restaurant Chain
On March 2026, 3, the smart restaurant of Simo Restaurant has been online for more than two weeks, and has received many likes, and the business is very hot.

The dishes here are often refurbished. Every time diners come here, they can get a sense of freshness. The production of the dishes is also very stable, and there is no phenomenon of new dishes pulling hips.

And the most rare thing is that the price is very affordable when you come here to eat.

Although there is a need to wait in line every meal time, the speed of serving dishes is very fast. Even if it is freshly fried dishes, a table of dishes can usually be served in half an hour, and the taste is not sloppy. Such quality is indeed satisfactory.

On this day, Wu Hao invited Gu Fan to his office.

"Gu Fan, are you interested in making Simo Restaurant a chain brand?" Wu Hao asked.

"The catering industry is too troublesome. I feel a headache even opening a restaurant, and I can't manage it if I open another branch!"

Now Gu Fan's family has an Internet celebrity and two stars, and he himself has a lot of work in Haotian Technology, so he doesn't have the energy to think about the branch.

"You don't need to manage it, just use this brand to set up a company, use the business model of Simo Restaurant, and transform other people's suitable stores. The main shareholders are you, me and Hu Zhenglong. Hu Zhenglong handles the bulk of the funds. We are mainly in charge of technology. output."

Wu Hao knows where his strengths and weaknesses are, so it's better to leave daily operations to professionals.

Hu Zhenglong has a professional industry incubation team, and they have a complete system for opening stores, advertising, performance appraisal, etc.

The two sides complement each other's strengths, which is the best.

"Why did you choose Si Mo? It's okay to open a new brand!" Gu Fan was a little puzzled.

After all, Simo Restaurant is an Internet celebrity restaurant. Although it is popular, it doesn't have much influence outside of Pengcheng.

"Because we want to promote Internet celebrity food!" Wu Hao replied.

This is the idea of ​​Hu Zhenglong, an Internet celebrity food blogger. Many of them make food by themselves. Many people will watch these videos and even try to do it themselves.

But the process is very convincing. Now with artificial intelligence, this kind of cumbersome food can be customized at a low cost.

Because of its full sense of ritual, it is very attractive to ordinary people.

"That's a good idea! I think it's feasible, and there will be more topics that Mengmeng can broadcast live." Gu Fan thought more about his family.

After all, the fun of life lies in the interaction of family affection. Live broadcast is also a good way of interaction, and he often participates in it.

"Have you agreed to this matter? Do you want to discuss it with your wife?" Wu Hao decided to be cautious.

"I'll answer you tomorrow...By the way, Tan Haidong doesn't want to go to the smart kitchen?" Gu Fan thought of another question.

Wu Hao suddenly proposed to be a chain catering brand, most likely because the Haidong Food Chain Group was unwilling to cooperate, so he had to rely on himself to promote this matter.

"He can't fall in love, and when the market changes, he will find him himself." Wu Hao responded domineeringly.

The procrastination of the other party shows that they have not reached a consensus internally. Since they now have the funds, technology and ideas, they should do it boldly. Anyway, Hu Zhenglong is looking for money. As long as the first phase of the project makes money, the subsequent financing will be very fast. Many Tan Haidongs would come to him.

"Hu Zhenglong went to Simo to experience it? Didn't his original plan be put on hold?" Gu Fan wanted to ask the ins and outs of the matter. After all, this is a major event for the Gu family. Simo Restaurant is now making a good profit, and suddenly said that it will establish a chain The group, Gu Ying and Liu Mengmeng will definitely ask many questions, and he needs to be able to answer them by then.

"Not only did he experience it, but his investor team also experienced it, so he felt relieved to cooperate with us. Don't worry, they have done actuarial calculations. The reason why the original plan was put on hold was because there was no Simo restaurant at that time. After completing the intelligent transformation, no one wants to believe what is on paper without personal experience." Wu Hao explained patiently.

These days, investors have become more and more professional. They will form a group to form a study group. Only truly promising projects will invest. It is no longer like before, where fund managers will take out the money after a few words.

"If Simo Restaurant becomes a chain group, will it affect the current store?" Gu Fan is very concerned about the future of his store, after all, it is the hard work of him and Liu Mengmeng.

"It will not be affected. First of all, we are only relying on the Simo brand. Each store is operated independently. Even the decoration style of the store does not need to be completely unified. The important thing is to complete the transformation of the intelligent restaurant and use our system uniformly. , to provide standardized services.”

Wu Hao and Hu Zhenglong have reached an agreement not to open new stores, but to focus on the renovation of old stores.

Taking advantage of the economical, flexible and changeable business methods of Simo Restaurant, it does not stick to signature dishes, but constantly changes dishes to give people a sense of freshness.

Then create a strong sense of ritual through Internet celebrity food to attract the attention of young people.

"How many new stores do you plan to open? How much will the investment amount be?" Gu Fan continued to ask.

"For the time being, we will mainly focus on the renovation of old stores. The Simo restaurant chain is only a brand certification, and it does not need to bear the brand of Simo. Through intelligent transformation, the management and service of Simo Catering can be obtained by us. Join our system."

"As for the investment amount, we will invest 5 million yuan in the early stage, and Hu Zhenglong and I will have half of it. As for how much you want to invest, it depends on the result of your discussion at home. If you don't plan to join, we can do it alone, and the early stage will be invested in advertising. It costs more.”

Wu Hao explained patiently.

"5 million? Why do you need to invest so much money? You don't plan to open a new store, so there is no need to spend so much money!" Hearing this investment amount, Gu Fan felt strange.

"Although it is an old store renovation, we are going to build a unified distribution center. The reason why we want to set up a chain is because, when the scale of the chain is large, the materials purchased every day will be more, and the dishes available in the store will be more abundant. Moreover, due to the adoption of unified automatic cutting and matching, the materials provided will be standardized, so that it will not rely too much on intelligence, and it will be easier to ensure the quality of dishes.”

Intelligence is not a panacea, without standardization, the effect of intelligence will not be good.

Simo Restaurant attracts a large number of customers through the way of sharing profits. Future franchise stores will also use this model. While reducing costs, try to give customers as much profit as possible, so as to win in the fierce competition.

"I understand what you want! This is a good idea. If you want to increase the amount of food, you should take the standardized route, and the Internet celebrity food will take the high-quality route. After all, the Internet celebrity food will only be the finishing touch. The main body still needs to Take the road of standardization and intelligence."

Gu Fan knew how to explain it to his family.

"That's right, intelligence does not exclude standardization. On the premise of standardization, it is the most efficient to realize intelligence!"
