On Sunday morning, Lu Ze's plan to sleep in was interrupted again.

Today, both hot pot restaurants have been prepared and will be put into trial operation for two days before the National Day holiday, and then officially start business.

So today, Lu Ze has to go to the scene to see it.

Hotpot restaurants are different from bun shops and rice noodle shops, and even in Lu Ze’s mind, they are more important than [Shiguang Youxuan] collection store.

After all, if the [Shiguang Youxuan] gathering store is a separate business. If the hot pot restaurant is well operated, it is a solid foundation for his catering strategy.

In the future, any new catering project can be used as a template for the operation of the hot pot restaurant to quickly achieve development and expansion.

Sun Mingliang drove his car and took his boss Lu Ze straight to the [Hi Xiao Lamb] Hotpot Meiluo City flagship store, while his elder brother Zhao Yongqiang sat next to him.

Zhao Yongqiang is under great pressure because the boss attaches so much importance to the hot pot restaurant.

In terms of mutton supply, not only did it vigorously open up air transport channels, but also rented cold storages in Baotou and Modu to ensure fresh supply of meat.

Even when decorating a hot pot restaurant, he often went to the on-site supervision for several nights in a row, for fear of some omissions.

Fortunately, everything went well, and both hot pot restaurants were decorated on time.

The employees have been participating in training in the store these two days. After working hard recently, I am waiting for the day when I open the business to test the results.

Lu Ze first went to see the Meiluocheng store, which is nearly 2,000 square meters of flagship store. In the catering industry these days, it is quite rich. Especially the category of affordable hotpot restaurants, this is even more so.

There has never been such a big store in the hot pot restaurant before. [Hi Xiaoyang] Meiluocheng store is a precedent in history in the commercial real estate circle of Modu.

Moreover, the decoration of [Hi Xiaolamb] is also cost-effective, and the image concept store model is a terrible thing.

So before the hot pot restaurant opened, Meiluo City had already shown up, attracting investment and operation leaders from other shopping malls to visit and inspect.

They were just waiting to see if the turnover of [Hip-Small] reported by Meiluo City to the outside world after the National Day holiday was as they imagined.

Lu Ze came here to see the store decoration and the other was to see the employee training.

Fortunately, the decoration of the Meiluocheng flagship store costs a lot of money. The concept of new trendy hot pot is fully reflected through the modern interior design and the unique display layout.

The novel door shape of the hot pot restaurant can attract the attention of many customers.

Then Lu Ze went to check out the employee training. According to his requirements, the training was very standardized, and the service level was almost determined according to the highest standards in the catering industry.

The three must-win magic weapons in the catering industry: standardization, fresh ingredients and good service.

A layman may say that the catering industry is not the most important thing for taste? In fact, otherwise, taste is a must. If you have bad taste, you will open a nonsense store.

However, taste, for chain restaurants, will be very dependent on chefs and it will be difficult to unify.

Even fast foods like KFC and McDonald's, sometimes you will feel that the taste of a certain store is not as delicious as before.

Not to mention Chinese food categories, it becomes increasingly difficult to have a unified taste.

That is, the category of hot pot has got rid of its dependence on chefs and is very easy to standardize taste.

The taste is standardized and the ingredients are fresh. The only thing left to determine the quality of the business is the quality of service.

These days, domestic catering services have been learning from foreign fast food, and they have tried to create their own service system based on KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, etc.

Lu Ze did not do anything special. With the encouragement of high basic salary, commissions and bonuses, he put forward equal requirements for the service of the hot pot restaurant.

However, the service quality is only required to be comparable to the level of foreign fast food, and it does not require it according to the over-service model of Haidilao. For the low-profit margin model of affordable hot pot, using Haidilao's service beyond expectations is to seek death.

After two years, the economic level of the people is better and when he founded a high-end hotpot brand, it would not be too late to compare with Haidilao's services.

You have to eat rice one bite at a time, and you can do the bigger things as you can.

After seeing the Meiluocheng flagship store, Lu Ze ran to another community store to take a look. This community store is open in Dahua business district.

The Dahua section is located in the southern part of Baoshan, adjacent to the borders of Zhabei and Putuo. As the only section within the Central Ring Road of Baoshan and closest to the city center, the Dahua section has been developing for decades and is a super-large residential community.

The section has both living facilities that are attached to old communities for about 90 years, and commercial streets that match the new communities developed in the past two years. The residents are very representative in Magic City.

The population density in Dahua area is very high, and there are almost no large shopping malls around it. It is a very good location template for community stores.

Compared with the so-called largest community in Asia in Yanjing in later generations, Tiantongyuan, is really a slight witch.

If it weren't for the fact that many houses in Dahua were small and high-rise buildings and had not been planned as a community, how could Tiantongyuan be the number one in Asia?

[Hi Xiaoyang] The first branch of the community store is open here, which is perfect.

Because the Dahua store is small, it is less than 800 square meters, and the progress is even smoother. The decoration and training have been completed, and the trial business will be one day earlier than the Meiluocheng store.

Fortunately, both stores have already installed system software, which is modified and optimized by the technicians from the Geek community with Internet cafe management software.

According to the original plan, during the trial operation period, the hot pot restaurant will distribute leaflets in large quantities around to attract customers and launch a series of discount activities.

Lu Ze only has one operational requirement, which is to explode sales, reputation, and data.

The first phase of these two stores must not be missed.

Money can be made slowly later, but the situation must be built immediately.

The second and third batches of stores are waiting to be launched after building momentum.

Especially some other shopping malls are also watching, whether they can get preferential conditions for entry, success or failure is here.

After inspecting the two stores, Lu Ze finally felt relieved and returned to school.

Before he could reach the dormitory, he had just walked downstairs of the school and received a call from his real girlfriend Su Jinyi.

"Hey, Lu Ze, you haven't called me for a long time." As soon as the phone was connected, Su Jinyi's complaining voice came.

Lu Ze thought about it carefully and replied with a headache: "Uh, didn't you just beat me the day before yesterday?"

"Hmph, that's not possible." Su Jinyi was willing to expose his girlfriend's exclusive little willfulness.

Lu Ze obediently admitted his mistake: "Okay, it's me wrong. Haven't you been busy with hot pot restaurants these days?"

"Then have you finished your work? When will the hot pot restaurant open? I want to be the first to eat." Su Jin was energetic when he heard about the hot pot restaurant.

Lu Ze smiled and said, "The trial operation will be carried out in two days. Will you have classes tomorrow afternoon? I'll take you to eat tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll have no classes after 3 pm tomorrow." Su Jinyi replied excitedly.

Lu Ze readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go to school to pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

"No, no, tell me the location of the hot pot restaurant and I'll just take a taxi by myself." Su Jin quickly refused.

She also thought of secretly giving Lu Ze a surprise. Tomorrow is Lu Ze's birthday, and she plans to bring gifts and cakes to her.

"Okay, then tomorrow at 5:30 pm, we will meet at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant on the third floor of Meiluo City, Xujiahui. Just take a taxi and talk to the master, and they will know the place."

Lu Ze thought that he would take the time to get the Nokia phone he had ordered tomorrow and give it to her when eating hot pot, so he agreed.

The staff of Dixintong contacted him two days ago. The Nokia 3210 arrived in advance and asked him to pick it up quickly.

"Well, see you tomorrow afternoon." Su Jinyi felt a little happy in his heart, and couldn't wait to see what Lu Ze's expression was when he saw the surprise he gave him.

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinyi happily opened the wardrobe, picked out clothes, and was struggling to see which one to wear.

Wang Mengmeng, a roommate lying on the bed, complained: "Yiyi, ask me to help you get the cake, but don't give it to me. Is it really good for you?"

"Who told you to have no classes tomorrow afternoon? Besides, the cake is so big, we will definitely not finish it. We will definitely bring it back for you to eat at that time." Su Jin hurriedly comforted her.

Wang Mengmeng was dissatisfied: "I don't want to eat what you have left. Why are you so cruel? You really won't take me with you?"

"Lu Ze celebrates his birthday, why are you going to do?" Su Jinyi had a headache. He ignored this for foodie roommates.

Wang Mengmeng replied excitedly: "I'll go to celebrate his birthday too, it's so lively."

"Go and go, I won't make trouble for me tomorrow. Be good, I'll treat you to a big meal." Su Jinyi had no choice but to agree to his preferences, make an unequal treaty, and exchange a big meal for his own peace.
