This should not be an isolated case, I work next to the location, before our vacation there is a restaurant in the renovation is basically complete, according to its flyer written, originally planned to open on the first day of the New Year, as a result of the impact of the epidemic, the direct closure of the shutdown to February 18th, the approval of the superstore and food and beverage is relatively easy, so this restaurant from February 18th onwards began to open, but in accordance with our local requirements, the Catering is not allowed to offer dine-in, only takeaway and packaged food.

How does it work?

The original main business of this restaurant is suitable for dine-in, look at its stores, upstairs if the same layout as the general layout of the downstairs, then there are about 30 tables, mainly suitable for 2-6 people of the potluck, if the original intention of the takeaway, generally a few dishes packaged for a whole table of this kind of, it is clear that during the epidemic period to be in so doing is not realistic, after all, during the epidemic period, the number of people gathered for meals The number of people who have gathered together during the epidemic has been greatly reduced.

But the boss transformed very quickly, after opening on February 18, immediately turned to do a single portion of takeout, in addition to the shelves of Hungry's and the United States Mission, the most important take us these did not set up a cafeteria open units, the boss did not know which means, our entire office building, basically his family's food, according to a breakfast of 7 yuan, a lunch of 24 yuan, the entire office building has close to 500 people, assuming that 400 people subscribe to food (some of the closer home, every meal are home to eat), the average daily consumption of 28 yuan per person (breakfast is relatively few people eat, some people eat directly at home, so we take a lower average), a day alone on our office building, he can earn: 400 * 28 = 11,200,000 yuan, we will be in accordance with 10% of the net profit margin is good (net profit) (refers to the net profit after deducting rent, labor, utilities, materials and other costs of pure money), then the boss a day in our building on the net income of 1,120 yuan, plus he may have to send other buildings as well as individuals alone takeout, estimated daily net income of more than 3,000 yuan should not be a problem. This amount will not even be less than he opened the dine-in.

Summary

Do not do catering a layer of unchanged, we must learn to adapt, although the epidemic so that the catering industry has lost the Spring Festival this golden holiday, but if you change your mindset, you may be able to do better. Because of the factors of the epidemic, many units are unified ordering, and this ordering is generally required to deliver units with a certain scale (one can do hundreds of orders at the same time, the second is to provide employees are wearing masks, daily temperature measurement, place disinfection, etc. proof), compared to the original street stores, the investment amount of these restaurants instead of more advantageous to get the order of these units.

The most difficult this time should be all kinds of street stores, after all, the unit if the unified ordering, a separate call for takeout will be reduced; especially those who can not buy to the masks, disinfectant, temperature measurement gun, and sometimes even the store can not be opened normally, even the delivery of takeout opportunities are gone.
