What? According to experience experts, the main investment in opening a rice noodle store is rent, license fees, house decoration fees, staff training fees, and working capital of more than 10,000 yuan. The profit cycle is 3 months. During this period, you must be good at observation and seek changes. Early preparation: 1. Site selection: According to Mr. Wang, who has opened three rice noodle shops in Guilin, the first condition for selecting a location for a rice noodle shop is that there are office buildings and residential areas nearby. People eating work meals and takeaways will become the main customers of the rice noodle shop. . According to statistics, the rice noodles sold at noon account for more than 1/2 of the whole day's sales, while passers-by at the door only account for a small part of the entire customer flow. 2. Contract: Because decoration requires a certain cost, and it takes a while to make profits, it is best to sign a lease contract for a rice noodle store for more than one year, and it is required to give priority to the lease when the lease price remains unchanged when the lease is renewed. 3. Decoration: It should not be too simple or too gorgeous, just look neat and clean. The decoration budget is calculated based on 30 square meters (anything smaller will look crowded and low-end), which is about 20,000 yuan. 4. Apply for various licenses: Because it is food, in addition to industry and commerce, it involves many departments such as health and fire protection. It is recommended to find an agency to help apply for various licenses. Be sure not to omit all the necessary procedures to avoid various problems in the future. 5. Recruiting: Waiters only need short-term training to get started. As long as they are young, there is no problem. The key problem is the chef, because the customers of the rice noodle shop are mainly repeat customers. If the taste is not good, it will be difficult to develop. For franchise stores, all seasoning recipes come from the main store, so there is no big problem. For a rice noodle shop that opens alone, hiring a chef with unique recipes is crucial. Opening and operation: 1. Word-of-mouth publicity: Guilin rice noodle shop is a small store, so it is impossible to advertise heavily, and distributing advertisements to passers-by is not effective, so the most important thing is word-of-mouth publicity. The general approach is to maintain capital-guaranteed operation in the first month, which means the quality and portion are better than normal, so as to attract more repeat customers. If you pass it to ten or hundreds of people, you will get good results. It is also best to send takeout orders to customers who often eat in the store. 2. Staff arrangement: Generally, 6 waiters are enough for a small store of 30 square meters. Because the characteristic of rice noodle shops is that there are especially many people at noon and there are a lot of takeaways. The general approach is to divide people into two groups, one group goes to work before the noon rush hour, one group goes to work after the noon rush hour, and the two groups go to work together during the noon rush hour and in the evening. If the store is relatively large, you can divide it into several groups and arrange it flexibly. 3. Purchase of materials: Try to purchase all kinds of materials from various wholesale markets, because this can save money. Rice noodles are the main ingredient, so it is recommended to have its own special channels.
