A few days ago, I had dinner with a few friends, and a big brother who made Hunan food didn't seem to be in a very good mood, so I asked him what's wrong, he said that he was worried about his store recently, I remember that when his store opened last year, business was still very good, how could he still be troubled? He went on to say that business is not as good as it used to be, and it has been losing money for several months.
If I remember correctly, his side is an industrial area, there are many factories around, and when he got off work before, many people would go to his store to eat, because usually, many of them are Hunanese, so he opened a Hunan restaurant there, which can be said to be very suitable, he said that when he opened before, the business was very good, and he made a little money in the first month.
But he hasn't made any money yet, and now he's starting to lose money. I asked what the situation was, was it because there was a newly opened Hunan restaurant over there? He said no, not because there are other Hunan restaurants, he is the only one on his side, he said that there are now a lot of new food stalls downstairs, which has robbed him of a lot of business.
He thought it was the off-season, the business declined, there was not much attention, until the business was getting worse and worse, he began to be anxious, he added a few old customers before, and they all chatted well, every time he went to the store, he would send them some snacks or new dishes to taste fresh, so the customers were also willing to tell him.
The feedback from customers is that one is that the efficiency of their factory is not good now, there is less overtime, and their wages are less, and this is not the case in one factory, basically this is the case in the factory over there this year, so they are eating out less now. Another factor is that their current colleagues are more willing to go to food stalls.
Why? Because now there are more and more food stalls over there, although there is no decoration, and even some tattered, but fortunately, the prices are relatively cheap, in the past, it cost seven or eight hundred to consume a table, but now it can be done for basically four or five hundred yuan, and there are all kinds of stir-fried dishes, so they will be more willing to go to the food stalls.
After understanding this situation, he said that he had no choice, and now he can only start to do some activities to see if he can attract customers back, he said that he himself did not expect that he had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the decoration of the store, but he could not do the dilapidated food stalls, I don't know what happened to this year?
