Diners: It looks cheap but it’s all a trick
Friends who like to eat hot pot have basically tried the rotating hot pot!
When the revolving hotpot first emerged, Lao Yu's family would go out for a meal almost every now and then. The revolving hotpot basically had all the bases, dipping sauces, and ingredients that traditional hotpots had!
The most important thing is that eating small hot pot is cheap. A plate of vegetables, a bunch of meatballs, etc., and many ingredients only cost 1 yuan!
It can be said that during the most popular period of the rotating hot pot, the number of people queuing up to eat was no less than the number of people going to Haidilao!
In addition, there is no need to order in the rotating hot pot. Once you enter, you only need to order the bottom of the pot and you can enjoy various delicacies!
In the past, there were rumors on the Internet that eating hot pot alone is the ultimate form of loneliness!
However, this situation does not exist when dining in a rotating small hot pot, and it is even more enjoyable to eat alone!
No one will bother you, you can eat whatever you want, no need to worry about whether others like it or not!
However, the small revolving hotpot that was once popular all over the country is now closing down.
So, the question is, there are so many people who like to eat, why do they keep closing down?
In fact, most of the reasons are caused by the store's own "little cleverness". What seems cheap is all a trick!
Friends who often eat rotating small hotpots know that there are currently two models on the market, one is the self-service route, and the other is the traditional method, which is based on different colored plates, tongs, or skewers of different thicknesses.
Come and pay!
Generally speaking, a plate of vegetables, a plate of tofu skin and other such dishes are sold for 1 yuan.
However, it used to be a full plate, but now the same price is less than one-third of the original amount!
Lao Yu also saw a small revolving hotpot where a hot pot meatball was cut in half and sold as two meatballs for 2 yuan each. Such meatballs cost just over 10 yuan per pound in the supermarket. It would be even more expensive if they were wholesale.
Cheap!
Even if the tofu skin is cut into long strips, only one piece can be skewered on a bamboo skewer, and one piece costs 1 yuan, while a piece of tofu skin that costs 2 yuan can skewer 20 pieces!
Store owners often say: Prices have increased now, so without raising prices, they can only achieve the goal of not losing money by reducing the amount of dishes!
But as we all know, just like pork, the price is indeed high when the price rises, but the price also falls back. When the price falls, the quantity is still reduced but the price is not reduced!
In the past, a small revolving hot pot meal cost about 20 yuan per person, and sometimes you could even be full for only 10 yuan!
However, if we go to eat the revolving hot pot now, it costs thirty or forty yuan per person, and we can only eat half full!
They all have the same ingredients, cost twice as much, and I’m not as full as before!
Especially the current price of ingredients for rotating small hot pots is much more expensive than going to traditional hot pot restaurants!
Originally it was for the sake of being cheap and affordable, and for the convenience and convenience of dining.
As a result, the environment is not as good as others, and there is no service. Not to mention that the quality of the ingredients is lower than that of traditional hot pot restaurants, especially because the money is not spent less.
To be honest, the reason why rotating small hot pot became popular all over the country in the past few years is because it is flexible, cheap and affordable.
Therefore, during that period, every time a store opened, it was almost always popular. As long as it was meal time, it was basically crowded!
However, as competition becomes more and more fierce, isn’t the unit price high?
Directly in the form of self-service!
Forty or fifty yuan per person, you can eat whatever you want including meat, meatballs, all kinds of fresh river seafood, vegetables and fruits!
Therefore, the traditional method of counting bamboo sticks and plates is no longer enough!
After all, for the same price, one can eat to the fullest, while the other still can’t!
Although the self-service hot pot has advantages, the unit price is not low, and it is already a buffet in form.
