Cultivate loyal and stable regulars
Small restaurants are the right choice for many customers who often need to eat lunch outside.

Familiar places, familiar bosses and even familiar salespeople can attract regular customers. Do you want the guests to eat in the hotel? Home? Feeling, there are two factors that must be indispensable:
First, friendly and high-quality service, intelligent and enthusiastic operators and service personnel, regard guests as relatives, and often have natural and cordial contact with guests, so that guests are willing to come and go often;
The second is the ever-changing dishes. It is necessary to adjust the menu according to the taste of the guests at any time, and adjust the taste according to the changes of seasons. Because modern consumers' love for food is changing rapidly, only by constantly making guests feel fresh can they not get bored for a long time. Through the understanding and in-depth contact with the guests, the guests are gradually fixed. Over time, these old guests will form an informality? Club? It has become the enduring foundation of small hotels.
As long as you put your heart into it, it is not difficult to open a restaurant to make money, but you can't do business without conscience. So-called? A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely? I hope you? Future hotel owners, remember one sentence, which businessmen should always remember: honesty-oriented, operating according to law.
