At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shanghai was listed as a port of entry for foreign trade, and successively absorbed the essence of the flavors of snacks from all over the country, including the characteristics of almost all the major places in the country, and to develop and improve them, forming their own characteristics.
Shanghai snacks are characterized by a wide variety of both North and South flavors; rigorous selection of materials, production of fine; seasonal, seasonal changes; supply convenient and flexible. Its taste, both different from the Guangdong and Hong Kong areas of pure sweetness, but also different from Sichuan, Chongqing, spicy flavor, but to light, fresh, tasty known. Shanghai's snacks, steamed, boiled, fried, branded, many varieties, the most popular consumer favorite, no better than: soup dumplings, hundred leaves, oil gluten. This is the most favored "three main pieces".
(B) objectives
Shanghai snack bar in addition to the hope of promoting the unique flavor of Shanghai snacks, we hope to profit. Plan snack bar will be in two years to turn a loss into a profit (according to the survey of the general small-scale catering industry investment in the early stages of the larger capital back to the capital takes longer, generally in two years or so). Expected in a year after the monthly net profit of 20,000 yuan in addition to tax.
(C) market analysis
People's tastes once nurtured, it is indeed more difficult to change, like Hunan, Sichuan people like to eat spicy, Jiangsu and Zhejiang like to eat sweet, these people tend to go wherever they are again, are thinking that hometown dishes are eaten, and, these people generally have a fixed circle, as long as they do a good job, the power of public opinion is huge, so what, as long as the authentic. Snacks to attract the native people in the field, is not a difficult problem.
(D) location
Snack bar plan set in Shenzhen Nanshan Shekou, the specific reasons are as follows:
To open such a snack bar in the countryside, we must pay attention to the native people in this place to be more, and according to the investigation of the Shekou area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other people in the majority.
In Shekou, food, clothing, housing and transportation are very convenient, there are at least three large commercial circles nearby, Garden City Wal-Mart, Haiya Department Store and Nanshan Book City, Coastal City. Because shopping is very convenient, the flow of people is high. The other local people have strong consumption ability, because the production cost of Shanghai snacks is high, and it needs customers with strong consumption ability.
The transportation is convenient for customers who are far away. Also close to Hong Kong, there are two cross-border channels, one is Shenzhen Bay Port and the other is Shekou Harbor. Many Hong Kong people like Shanghai flavor, store set here can attract a lot of Hong Kong customers to come to patronize, and higher consumption in Hong Kong, so Hong Kong people still like to come to the deep consumption on weekends, for the snack bar weekend to bring a good flow of customers.
The law and order is very good, after all, college students to open a small store is not easy, their own hands on the money is not much, can not stand the mob's suppression (collection of protection money, deliberately burned to charge high compensation, etc.).
(E) customers
Because most of the Shanghai local dishes pay attention to the thick oil and red sauce, more in line with the customers of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan.
The restaurant food pricing will be higher than the market price, one because the snack chef labor is expensive; secondly, the cost of raw materials from Shanghai air transported over slightly higher. Therefore, the price will be oriented to college students, white-collar workers and other people with a certain spending power.
(F) business hours
6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., weekends and public holidays to extend the business hours of two hours at night.

(xiv) expected difficulties and solutions
1. recruitment difficulties, in recent years, the city's catering industry has been a great development, the employment of various restaurants is expanding, which objectively exacerbated the shortage of labor phenomenon. Even if the employees are recruited are mostly short-term workers, long-term workers are almost none.
The solution: pay social security for employees, so that they feel that life is guaranteed; through training and daily management to cultivate the loyalty of employees.
2. Unfamiliar with the market, the excess preparation of materials leads to the expiration of the moldy ingredients, resulting in a waste of resources.
The solution: do enough market research, cold dishes need to prepare less than other dishes; always care about, do not let the kitchen waste resources; when a certain dish backlog, as soon as possible to sell out or give away in the form of activities.
