(1) Good purchasing principles The purchasing process is very important for the operation of snack bars, and adhering to principles is the basis for the smooth progress of the purchasing process. Generally speaking, there are three main principles:

1. Make progress as needed.

The purchase quantity of snack raw materials is determined according to the demand of snack bar. For operators, the relationship between buying and selling is by no means that they can sell whatever snacks they plan to make; But what snacks customers need and what snacks customers like. According to these circumstances, they decide what raw materials to purchase. So this is also called the "need for progress" principle? Prepaid according to sales? In other words, you can buy whatever you sell, and the number of purchases is completely determined by the sales situation. The contradiction between purchasing and sales can be solved by the principle of "need for progress".

2. Being diligent in marketing is an important condition for accelerating capital turnover and avoiding the backlog of snack raw materials, and it is also an important measure to promote business development. Snack bars must strive to operate and develop important measures with less capital occupation. Snack bars must strive to operate a wide range of varieties with less capital, accelerate the turnover of snacks and do live broadcast business. It is very important to keep raw materials fresh, especially in snack bars that need high turnover rate.

Honest and trustworthy

In the procurement activities of snack bars, we should be honest and trustworthy, ensure the legality, seriousness and effectiveness of business contracts, ensure the quality of raw materials, give full play to the role of operators in business, establish a good image, and coordinate the relationship with wholesalers and other related groups to make the purchase and sale of snack bars go smoothly.

② Procurement channels

Usually, there are three main channels to buy snack bars: direct purchase from manufacturers; Purchase goods from wholesalers; Franchise stores are uniformly distributed by franchisees.

In today's abundant supply, three factors need to be considered when choosing the supplier of snack raw materials in the storefront: first, the variety, quantity and quality of raw materials supplied by snack bars; Second, the supplier's reputation, such as whether the production is normal, whether the quality is reliable, whether the price is commensurate, the performance of the contract and so on; Third, the conditions of suppliers, such as distance, means of transportation, transportation routes, transportation costs and so on. In a word, purchasing decision should be based on economic benefits, and comprehensive comparison should be made by using scientific decision analysis methods, so as to find the best one among many suppliers and optimize the benefits of purchasing activities.

(3) Procurement method

There are many ways to purchase raw materials, and the supply market of raw materials is complicated. There is no fixed pattern to determine the purchase method. Which purchasing method is suitable depends on the size of the kitchen and the local raw material market.

1. Budget procurement

What is the usual purchasing method of snack bar? Budget procurement? . Also used when out of stock? Buying and selling now? The way is to purchase when the snack bar finds that it is out of stock; ? Budget procurement? According to the operation of the snack bar, the time and quantity of purchase are decided regularly. This purchasing method is the most stable, avoid? Buying and selling now? There is a temporary shortage of goods.

2. Competitive price procurement

Competitive price procurement is suitable for food raw materials that are frequently purchased and often need to be purchased every day. Most of the fresh raw material procurement business in the snack bar kitchen belongs to this nature. The purchasing unit informs all relevant suppliers of the names and specifications of canned and bagged dry raw materials and fresh raw materials to be purchased by telephone or letter, or by direct contact (the purchasing personnel go to the supplier or the other party arrives at the store), and obtains the quotations of the required raw materials.

Generally speaking, each member should obtain quotations from at least three suppliers, and then select and determine the supplier with the most suitable raw material quality and the most favorable price according to the market survey price, so that it can supply according to the established price, raw material specifications and the quantity of each order.

Wait for a period of time (one week 15 days, depending on the nature of raw materials and market conditions), and then make inquiry and quotation to determine suppliers. The advantage of this is that the specifications and prices of suppliers and raw materials can be relatively stable under more favorable conditions, and the trouble can be reduced. The disadvantage is that it is sometimes constrained or restricted by fixed elements and lacks flexibility.

3. Offer to buy

At present, although the general snack bar has a variety of procurement methods, quotation procurement is widely used. This kind of purchase is the simplest way of trading, so it is widely welcomed.

Definition of quotation purchase. It means that when a snack bar purchases goods, it first looks for an ideal supplier or source of goods, and then sends an inquiry letter to the snack bar, asking the supplier to send a quotation, including: product name, quantity, unit, price, trading terms and effective time. Sometimes, in order to win the trust of the buyer, the seller will actively provide credit investigation information for reference, and sometimes send it? Sample? 、? Directory? And then what? Explain? If the buyer completely agrees with the contents of the quotation, the quotation sales contract is established.

4. There is no choice to buy

Snack bars sometimes encounter such a situation: some raw materials that the kitchen needs to purchase are scarce in the market, or only one unit supplies them, or the kitchen must obtain some raw materials. In this case, snack bars often adopt the method of non-selective procurement. Using this method, snack bars often lose control of the cost of this raw material. Therefore, it should be used only when absolutely necessary, and it is usually necessary to bargain before deciding to place an order.

5. Cost markup procurement

When the price of a raw material fluctuates greatly or it is difficult to determine the appropriate price, people often adopt the cost increase method. The cost here refers to the raw material cost of suppliers such as wholesalers and retailers. In some cases, both suppliers and buyers can't grasp the trend of market price, so this method is used to clinch a deal. That is to say, a percentage is added to the cost of raw materials purchased by suppliers as the profit part of suppliers. If the prices of saury and crab just listed fluctuate greatly, we can increase the purchase price of snack bar by about 10% on the basis of the supplier's purchase price. For suppliers, this method reduces the possible losses caused by sudden price drop; For purchasing units, the percentage of price increase is generally small, so it is more favorable. The main difficulty in adopting this method is that it is difficult to accurately grasp the real cost of suppliers. Therefore, the use cost of snack bars should not increase the number of purchases.

6. Classified procurement

Classified procurement means that food raw materials and condiments belonging to the same category are purchased from the same supplier. For example, a snack bar buys the flour it needs from a flour supplier, and all the seasoning ingredients are purchased from the same condiment snack. In this way, only one order is issued to the supplier at a time, one delivery is received and one invoice is processed, thus saving manpower and time. The disadvantage is that the quality of some raw materials that may be purchased is not the best in its kind.

7. On-site valuation procurement

On-site valuation purchase is a purchase method in which buyers and sellers conduct face-to-face valuation and bargaining before the transaction. Because of the quality, service and delivery date, the buyer may not buy from the cheapest supplier, but generally will conduct a quality survey in advance. If there is no problem with delivery date and service, most of them will order from cheaper suppliers.
