The main costs of the cafeteria are venue rent, labor, ingredients, etc. Usually, the cafeteria has a large area. If it is located on the first floor along the street, the rent is outrageous, so the location of the basic cafeteria is on the second and third floors, which can greatly reduce the rental cost.

Secondly, the labor cost is also the most important thing. Usually, the chef of a restaurant in our place is 1 10,000 per month, and the deputy chef is 7,000 per month. Together with 1 cashier, 1 waiter and several waiters, it is estimated that the monthly labor cost will be as high as 60,000 or so.

The staffing of the cafeteria is very simple, which can save the money of the chef's assistant chef. Basically, it only needs 3-4 catering staff, 3-4 waiters,/kloc-0 waiters and/kloc-0 cashiers. The catering staff is calculated according to 5000/ month, and the rest is calculated according to 3500/ month. It is estimated that the labor cost of the cafeteria is around 40,000.

There is no doubt as to why employees' wages are so low, because the employees in the cafeteria don't need the same service as Haidilao, they just need to do some simple work. Some bosses even recruit some temporary workers and summer workers. For example, I used to work as a temporary worker, and I got food every day 100, and my salary was settled once a week. If there were complaints or work mistakes, I would be deducted.

2. The cafeteria has low cost of ingredients.

Many friends set themselves the goal of "eating back to the original" when they went to the cafeteria, but from my previous working experience, only 10% of consumers ate back to the original. On the one hand, everyone's food intake was limited, and on the other hand, the cost of ingredients in the cafeteria was really low.

Seafood: Cafeterias are generally in the form of franchises. The head office will go to the venue for direct wholesale, and then distribute them uniformly. Franchisees can also enjoy the "low price" discount. For example, the average size of swimming crabs is 30 yuan/kg, but the head office will wholesale in large quantities at the place of origin, which is only 3-6 yuan/kg. It may still be sick crabs or just died.

Another example is oysters, the place of origin is really cheap. Even if the cafeteria takes the goods, it will not take the big ones. They are basically small and medium-sized, and there is no money at all. As for other seafood, it is the same.

Meat: Many friends especially like to eat beef and mutton, and think that eating a catty will make glad you came. Our raw beef here is 40/ catty, which will shrink after stewing, so it is unlikely that the cafeteria will really display a large number of beef and mutton. Many of them are mixed with duck and chicken, and then use special flavors to imitate the taste of beef and mutton, such as mutton powder.

Moreover, the quality of these meats is not as good as that bought in our market, because there is a kind of "buffet for meat" in the farm. If you meet a boss with a more black heart, you will add some more junk meat to it, and other brains will make up for it.

Vegetables: the quality of vegetables is actually ok, there is no big problem, restaurants purchase directly from farmers, and the price is quite low.

Drinks: Many friends think that drinking a few cups of "freshly squeezed juice" can also bring back a lot of books. In fact, these so-called juices are basically mixed with fruit powder. In order to increase the taste, some sticky agents will be added to try to achieve the goal of "confusing the fake with the real".
