We Chinese people have paid attention to the word "eat" since ancient times. In a social atmosphere that advocates food culture, the catering and food industry is closely related to people's livelihood. After so many years of development, the development of my country's catering industry has gone through the initial stage, the quantitative development stage, the large-scale development stage and the brand building stage, and has transformed from a traditional industry to a modern industry. Statistics show that the turnover of my country's catering and food industry reached 20,000 trillion yuan last year. This number is still increasing this year, and the prospects are quite promising. 1. Correct and far-sighted location selection How to open a restaurant with huge financial resources? The experience of successful people is: Choosing an investment location before operating is the most important step - choosing a location with appreciation potential. If the location is not chosen properly, even with high-end decoration, delicious food, and elegant atmosphere, it still cannot attract customers. As the saying goes, "food is the most important thing for the people", without "people (customers)", it is impossible to operate successfully. 2. Capture customers with specialization. The catering industry also faces market segmentation. To be large and comprehensive, the results may be "different". Investors in the catering industry should consider establishing their own cuisine characteristics. We should start from the perspective of diners, understand their needs, and then satisfy them. I think knowing who you are operating is the first step in opening a store. 3. Don’t be afraid of weird ideas, just be afraid of having no ideas. The catering industry actually requires a very sophisticated marketing art to turn the best ideas into gimmicks. The key lies in clever use. The birth of any new idea is not easy, so make good use of it. , making it produce wonderful effects. Only restaurants that work hard to innovate will have a future. Sticking to the rules or blindly imitating others will eventually fail. Any restaurant must show its own characteristics in order to create added value and continuously increase its customers. 4. Provide good after-sales service and accumulate loyal customers. Customers are always the bread and butter, especially loyal customers. This is not only about subsequent consumption, but more importantly, they can bring you word-of-mouth communication, so that the number of loyal customers will grow. , the market will become bigger and bigger. Restaurants are everywhere. To attract diners, they must have some special features. At the same time, they must meet the needs of diners and make full use of them. What needs to be noted is that in addition to paying attention to the region and store opening conditions, the income level and cultural level of the area should also be considered. The characteristics are not limited to the varieties of business, but also include other aspects such as good service, gorgeous storefronts, and sincere employees. 5. Do a good job in off-season marketing. All restaurants will have off-season business, and at this time you should launch a new marketing offensive. I know it sounds crazy** spending money on advertising knowing business is slow. But if you do it right, your efforts will not be in vain. I own a restaurant in Boston, and February is a terrible month for the restaurant business here, with the cold weather keeping people home. But there is a religious Lent in February, so I developed special recipes before Lent and vigorously promoted them through advertising. Attracted many diners. This turned out to be our most popular month. This type of marketing method can be suitable for all types of enterprises. As long as the promotional activities are unique and interesting, they can attract customers. 6. Choose a good waiter. The main characteristic of this type of people is that the work they complete or participate in always exceeds the quantity and scope you require. They are not easy to find, but they are real pillars, especially when your business is stable. They will keep the business running smoothly so that you can safely have free time to relax and enjoy life.
