My aunt opened a barbecue buffet restaurant for four years, not only bought two buildings, changed the big ben, even the deposit became seven figures, my aunt told me that the buffet is not enough to eat, there is a deep doorway.
Aunt did not go to college, after graduating from high school has been working outside, and then married under the introduction of the family, just at the beginning of the aunt's family's economy is very poor, until and the uncle opened a cafeteria, the living conditions suddenly refreshed; # Media People Weekly # From the housewife instantly became a big boss, making a lot of money, now the aunt has not done self-help, said that this money earned a little "ignorant conscience", I have not understood what the aunt said this, until the aunt learned the secret of self-help, I suddenly realized ，
The ingredients you eat look very high-end, but in fact, the purchase price is particularly cheap.
Not only grilled meat, but also vegetables, but also seafood, which has pippi shrimp, crabs, scallops, prawns, flower shells and so on.
Seeing these many people think wow, these seafood are definitely not cheap, lobster alone is in twenty-three one pounds.
In fact, it is not, the aunt said that these seafood in their house are particularly special and cheap.
Basically, they are frozen products, and they need to go to the seafood wholesale market they designate to cooperate with, and go to a large number of wholesales.
And wholesale Pippi shrimp, pike crab, flower nails and other seafood, do you think it is a new living thing?
In fact, they are caught with some dead shrimp and dead crabs, and then put in the refrigerator after processing, these seafood are weighed according to the price of each kilogram, which is about 3 to 5 pieces.
Particularly special cheap, some in the coastal cafeteria, they took the price of seafood even cheaper.
Usually we go to the cafeteria to eat some Pippi shrimp, we find that it is basically some dead Pippi shrimp, after cooking, there is basically no meat in the box.
These are frozen for a long time, even if you eat three pounds of cost is only a few dollars or so.
Chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breasts and other frozen products, the price is very cheap.
For example, chicken breast meat in the frozen goods market, a pound is about 5 yuan;
There are 300 skewers in a box of lamb skewers, and the price is about 250 yuan, with an average of 1.2 yuan per skewer.
Some people may want to say that eating lamb kebabs can pay for itself, as far as I know, there are many cafeterias where lamb kebabs are served in limited quantities.
Some of the frozen goods are imported from abroad, especially in South America, chicken feet, duck feet, livestock offal and other rarely eaten, the price is bound to be low.
Generally, the frozen goods of large factories, in addition to the poor taste of meat, there is no problem with the quality of the product, as long as the packaging has the QS mark, it is an inspected product, and it can be eaten with confidence.
But considering that the middlemen are stored in the cold storage, there are a lot of them, and some have no idea when they came in, how long have they been stored?
Secondly, the general cafeteria does not purchase frozen goods every day, but pulls back a lot at once. Before serving to guests, you must first thaw, sometimes not exhausted and then put back into refrigeration, which will inevitably have some problems with the meat.
This kind of real meat frozen goods is quite good, and some stores use beef and mutton to increase profits. For example, steak, 38 people want to eat real steak, I'm afraid I think too much.
Lamb skewers can also be "replaced" with duck breast meat, duck meat plus sheep fat, add starch, spices, etc., do not eat carefully and really can not distinguish between true and false.
Many friends think that drinking a few cups of "freshly squeezed juice" can also return a lot of money, in fact, these so-called juices are basically mixed with fruit powder, in order to increase the taste, but also add some viscous agents, trying to reach the point of "fake and real".
Usually fried noodles, fried rice, steamed dumplings, pizza, etc. will be placed in a prominent position, and there will be exquisite cake desserts next to them, which are easy to fill.
Secondly, all kinds of cold cuts, cured meat will be more or less added to make people thirsty, especially the more spicy cold cuts, many people eat a few bites of drinks, or when grilling sauce meat, you will find how to eat a little thirsty ...
Many "intimate" merchants will also send you a "beer coupon" when you have just sat down after you pay, the purpose is to help you "eat enough" early.
The really valuable food is basically the staff's "freshly grilled limited quantity", such as so-and-so grilled fish, grilled lamb, etc., these individual portions are small, and most importantly, these have to be queued!
Many friends have a headache as soon as they see the queue, so they run to eat other food, and the boss invisibly saves a sum of money.
The main costs of the catering industry are rent, labor and ingredients, choosing a good location is too important, there is a steady stream of customers, increase the turnover rate, so as to achieve profitability.
For cafeterias, location is not the most important thing, choosing a source of customers is the most important!
If the buffet is not limited, even if you don't lose money, you will certainly not make money, and then friends will stipulate the meal limit of 2 hours during the official opening period.
The size of the dinner plate is simply the embodiment of the customer's psychological research, the plate is small, increasing the number of customers to take meals, wasting time is only one of them, the most important thing is to make the customer feel that they have eaten too much.
Every time you take a meal to waste the plate, there is a lot of plates on the table, the waiter comes to close the table, it seems to be a very normal thing, the key is that some guests have a thin skin, thinking that they are too able to eat, they will subconsciously eat less.
If the waiter takes the plate a few more times, and then looks at the guest with one more eye, some guests will have a psychological burden, afraid that the waiter thinks that he is a small family, and he is even more reluctant to eat more.
Moreover, the table can not eat everywhere fines, refuse to waste food and other slogans, many thin-faced guests are unable to eat, which invisibly increases the profit of the cafeteria.
Everything has two sides, if parents really want to take their children to eat buffets, then it is best to eat more expensive buffets, at least in terms of ingredients are relatively healthy, eat safer.
