Affected by the epidemic, both shopping malls and street restaurants have suspended the opening of canteens according to the requirements of the competent authorities. Customers can only order takeout, and no restaurant service is provided. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Guangzhou, the passenger flow of Laowang restaurant has plummeted. The commercial street where Lao Wang is located was originally crowded at night, and now the passenger flow is less than one tenth of the original.
After the restaurant closed, the turnover of the store changed from 7,000 yuan per day to 500 yuan. In the face of the impact of the epidemic, Lao Wang is helpless and only looks forward to getting better soon.
Although this store provides take-away service, the take-away business is not satisfactory. Lao Wang said that most people who come to the store to eat are old customers around. Old customers prefer offline restaurant service to online takeaway. Young people who like to order take-away food like online dishes with a unit price of about 15 yuan. Lao Wang calculated the account himself. 15 yuan's food has no money at all, so he can only post it backwards, so he still makes takeout according to the offline menu price of the store.
On the take-away platform, the average price of Lao Wang's shops is around 30 yuan, which is not attractive at all. The prices of those high-volume takeaway shops are all below 9.9 yuan, and all below 15 yuan. They are all pure takeout shops, and there is no food delivered in. For them, the business is not affected by the epidemic.
The slogan "Food in Guangzhou" shows how much Guangzhou people love to eat, but in the face of the epidemic, the business of Guangzhou shopping malls has become more deserted. Although the major shopping malls have not completely closed down, the flow of people has fallen off a cliff. Some media surveys show that the passenger flow in many shopping malls has decreased by more than 90%, and there are still long queues in front of restaurants in various shopping malls, but now there are more waiters than customers in the stores.
Lao Li opened a noodle restaurant in a shopping mall in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. Before the outbreak, this noodle restaurant with less than 50 square meters had a good business. When eating, people are waiting in line. After the outbreak, the business of this store plummeted. Although the take-away business was launched, the bowl of beef noodles in 25 yuan of Lao Li's family suddenly turned out to be stale in the face of beef noodles in 9.9 yuan. Nowadays, epidemic prevention and control has become a top priority in Lao Li's shop. As long as the customers and employees in the store can arrange this period, Lao Li is still very confident about the future.
