As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and eating has always been a major event in people's lives. With the improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for food have also increased a lot, from "to eat well", so the catering industry began to flourish.

According to the survey data of enterprises, as of 202 1 1, the number of catering and related enterprises in China has reached 9.608 million; At the same time, during the period of1-1in 2020, the total catering sales in China will reach about 3.45 trillion yuan. This shows that more and more people are willing to eat in restaurants outside.

In the catering industry, there are also many "branches", such as restaurants, tourist hotels, cold drinks, buffets and so on. In the era of the rise of takeaway, the unified online and offline model further promoted the development of the industry. Among them, the buffet is also constantly developing.

It is reported that buffet has been popular in China since the late 1980s, and the market has been expanding in just 30 years. Because of its rich dishes and low price, it has been welcomed by many consumers.

At the same time, the profit of opening a cafeteria is also considerable, making it one of the first choices for catering businesses. According to the data of Zhiyan Consulting, in the second and third tier cities of China, the annual net profit of cafeterias with an investment of about 6,543.8+0,000 yuan or 2 million yuan can even reach 6,543.8+0,000 yuan.

I believe everyone has a question. There are so many dishes in the canteen that they can eat whatever they want, and the price is still so low. How do they make money?

Reduce costs, small profits but quick turnover.

In fact, opening a cafeteria mainly depends on "small profits but quick turnover", and the opening cost is very low. Because the vast majority of consumers are not facing a specific group of people, they will not put forward too high requirements for the decoration of restaurants and the location of shops, so this cost will naturally be lower than other restaurants.

Secondly, the labor cost of the canteen is not high. Because it is a cafeteria, the number of waiters will be much less than other restaurants; At the same time, although the dishes are rich, compared with some high-end restaurants, the taste requirements of the dishes are not too high, and there is no need to hire a professional chef, so the cost will naturally be reduced.

Finally, even the food cost in restaurants is not high. The general canteen is nothing more than fruits, drinks, cakes and staple foods. Restaurants generally choose cheap ingredients and buy them in large quantities, so the cost of food will naturally be much lower than other restaurants.

In addition, the buffet has a large passenger flow. According to the survey report of buffet industry released by China Report. com, 45.67% consumers will choose buffet. This shows how popular the buffet is. It is for this reason that canteens can reduce prices and take the route of "small profits but quick turnover".

With lower costs and more customers, its profits will naturally rise. However, some people have questioned that the canteen can't control the food intake of customers, and everyone eats a lot, so the restaurant won't lose money? How to make money?

Is the buffet full as soon as you eat it? The food is "Jin"

Actually, it's not like this. Few people "overeat" in the canteen. Even if they really eat a lot, the food in the canteen will make people "full as soon as they eat". Why? Insiders revealed the secret.

I believe you can also find that there are many foods in the canteen that can improve people's satiety, such as some staple foods, cakes, fruits and so on. If you eat a little, people will feel full. At the same time, many dishes in the canteen are salty, spicy or greasy. If you eat too much, people will keep drinking and drinking, and people will naturally be full soon.

These are the "routines" behind the cafeteria, so many people will feel that they have not eaten "back to basics" when they go to the buffet. If we really want to "go back to basics", then everyone can reasonably arrange to eat in the canteen.

For example, some restaurants will restrict the supply of some seafood, fresh fruit, meat and so on. Generally, it is only available at a specific time or limited supply is gone. These are usually more expensive foods. Choosing these foods will be "value for money". Then, try to eat less food, such as staple food, greasy food and so on. Drink less drinks.

With proper planning, it is also possible to eat "back to basics" in the canteen, but eating buffet may lose a lot of fun. After all, the main reason for eating buffet is the variety of dishes. Therefore, if you pay too much attention to the price, you may lose the fun of eating.

One more thing, although there are all kinds of food in the canteen, don't waste food. Saving food is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. In addition, if you waste food in the canteen, you are likely to face a "fine" from the restaurant. Everyone must pay attention.

I wonder if you usually go to the canteen to eat? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
