Hearing Chang Xu's words, Ye Xiaochen frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Then she asked, "Brother Chang, can I ask if the sauerkraut you use is provided for free or paid?"
This was very important.
After all, the production of sauerkraut was limited.
"Of course it's free. In every restaurant and hotel, sauerkraut is provided as an appetizer for free. If the sauerkraut in my restaurant is better than other restaurants, it will imperceptibly leave a better impression on the diners and attract them."
Chang Xu said.
Generally speaking, what could attract diners in a restaurant and hotel was usually the main dish and the special dish.
Without its own special dish and following the trend, there was no competitiveness. For diners, if there was no special dish, why would they come here to eat? It was the same to go to other restaurants.
In this way, it was difficult to cultivate the diners' "loyalty" to a certain special dish.
Undoubtedly, an appetizer like sauerkraut usually couldn't become a special dish that could strengthen diners' loyalty.
But the sauerkraut provided by Ye Xiaochen was extraordinary. After he ate it, he couldn't forget it. He always missed that indescribable taste.
If he ate other sauerkraut, he couldn't eat it at all.
He believed that as long as his Food cube launched such an appetizer, it would definitely get a large number of diners' fans.
The main dish and the special dish couldn't be compared with the competitors. But the appetizer, sauerkraut, was enough to win back the competition.
"Brother Chang, then can I ask, how much is a table of normal dishes?"
Ye Xiaochen asked again.
"At least 200 to 300, at most 1,000."
Chang Xu didn't know why Ye Xiaochen asked this. Could it have something to do with the free sauerkraut?
But no matter how expensive sauerkraut was, it couldn't be too outrageous.
Unfortunately, he took it for granted.
"In other words, it's rare for a table of dishes to reach 1,000. Normally, it's 300 to 500. Brother Chang, if this is the case, I'm afraid it's not feasible to provide sauerkraut as an appetizer for diners."
Ye Xiaochen shook her head and said.
"Why?"
Chang Xu was slightly stunned and asked quickly.
"Brother Chang, let me show you something."
Ye Xiaochen took out her phone and opened Taobao. She clicked on her online store and passed it to Chang Xu.
Chang Xu took the phone and looked at it curiously. He wanted to know what was on the phone.
When he glanced at it, he was first stunned, then dumbfounded. Finally, he looked at Ye Xiaochen in astonishment and was speechless for a long time.
"Why, why is it so expensive?"
Chang Xu said bitterly.
"Brother Chang, you've tasted this pickled cabbage before. The reason why it's so expensive isn't just because of the taste. Most importantly, it's because of the ingredients used, the craftsmanship, and the time required to make it. The production rate isn't high, and it's because of this that I set a limit of three packs per customer."
Ye Xiaochen said, "If you use this pickled cabbage as an appetizer and provide it to the diners, a plate of pickled cabbage, well, it can't be too little. It needs at least half a pack. If a pack costs 188 yuan, the cost of a plate of pickled cabbage is as high as 100 yuan."
"I see."
Chang Xu thought for a moment and understood.
It would be strange if it was easy to make such delicious pickled cabbage.
The vegetables that Ye Xiaochen provided to his restaurant could be called premium vegetables. The taste was excellent.
Even if the chef in his restaurant was not as good as the restaurant opposite, he could make up for it with the ingredients. Even the taste of the vegetables was better.
However, the focus of a restaurant was still the main ingredients and specialty dishes, so long as it was meat.
This caused Food cube to fall into a more awkward situation.
"Brother Ye, I'm really in a difficult situation now. How about this? I'll buy an unlimited amount of this pickled cabbage from you at the highest price in this online store, 288 yuan per pack. What do you think?"
Chang Xu gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made a decision and said immediately.
This price was undoubtedly very expensive.
However, the production of pickled cabbage was limited. Even the online store had to supply a limited amount. If he offered a low price and wanted to buy an unlimited amount, it would put Ye Xiaochen in an awkward situation.
He simply raised the price to the highest price.
In this case, Ye Xiaochen would only make more money by providing the pickled cabbage to him than in the online store. At least the first pack was free, and the second pack was 188 yuan. He could make a few hundred yuan more.
The reason why he offered such a high price was that he had no choice.
Moreover, he was confident that this pickled cabbage could be his magic weapon to turn the situation around.
Hearing Chang Xu offer such a high price, Ye Xiaochen was slightly stunned. Immediately, she was tempted. Wasn't it the same no matter who she sold it to?
If she sold it to Chang Xu, it would be more stable, and she could cultivate a good reputation and brand effect.
Immediately, she agreed.
Food cube could be supplied with an unlimited amount of 258 yuan per pack.
The reason why she only lowered the price by 30 yuan was mainly because Ye Xiaochen knew that this price was very affordable.
If she bought it online, Ye Xiaochen planned to cancel the free offer for the first pack starting from the second month. She would sell it for 188 yuan per pack, 388 yuan per pack, and 588 yuan per pack.
She would increase the price in the future.
The price of 258 yuan was really not expensive!
Of course, the so-called unlimited amount was mainly determined by the situation of the restaurant's orders.
For example, if ten tables ordered pickled cabbage today, they would provide ten to fifteen packs of pickled cabbage.
In short, they would not provide too much.
The Magical Pickled Cabbage Jar's production of pickled cabbage was limited. He could not just give up on selling it in the online store.
However, with an additional supply channel for pickled cabbage, it was enough to increase Ye Xiaochen's income in a short period of time.
This was a win-win situation.
Whether it was Ye Xiaochen or Chang Xu, they both believed that this pickled cabbage was enough to stabilize the Food cube.
As Ye Xiaochen had to go to other places to make deliveries and settle accounts, she did not stay long. She left ten packs of pickled cabbage for Chang Xu and drove away.
Chang Xu did not stay idle. While there was still some time, he immediately gathered a few chefs in the kitchen.
Food cube's head chef was called Kang Sifu. He had a fat head, big ears, a red face, and a loud voice.
"What? President Chang, you want to add pickled cabbage to the special menu? How can this be? Pickled cabbage is only an appetizer. How can it be qualified to be the main dish? No, no, absolutely not. "
Kang Sifu heard Chang Xu's suggestion and immediately shook his head.
Add pickled cabbage to the main dish?
Isn't this a joke?
If other chefs in the cooking industry knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at him?
This menu was all set by him as the head chef.
The menu was not only the face of the restaurant, but also his face as the head chef.
He could not afford to lose this face.
"Old Kang, you should try this pickled cabbage first."
Chang Xu knew that it was impossible to persuade the stubborn Kang Sifu.
Although he was the boss, he also knew that in the kitchen, he still had to rely on Kang Sifu.
He rarely interfered.
