Mr. Wang, the owner of a chain breakfast shop in Dongguan, gets up early every morning to start his shop patrols.
Our breakfast has a variety of steamed buns, rice rolls, porridge and soy milk. Mr. Wang said that the core task of his store visits is to ensure the quality control of food. He mentioned that unlike other industries, it is difficult to achieve complete standardization of products. "The amount of salt added to cooking will make a difference in the taste if it feels a little different. The control of the heat is a test of the chef's experience. We can't make it in advance, otherwise it will become a pre-made dish, which will lose the flavor and nutrition of the food. Cantonese diners value the freshness of their ingredients, so we always insist on freshly made and sold food to ensure that every breakfast is fresh and delicious. ”
In order to ensure that the taste of his breakfast restaurant does not change due to the expansion of its scale, Mr. Wang has worked hard.
Monthly kitchen training is indispensable, and the control of raw materials is also a top priority. "In the beginning, I went to the wholesale market early in the morning to buy the raw materials in my store, and then I couldn't be busy by myself when there were more stores, but I always did the quality control myself. ”
The reason why he still worries about the front line after becoming the owner of the chain store is mainly because the breakfast restaurant is the hard work of Mr. Wang for many years.
More than ten years ago, there was only one small stall in the breakfast chain, and this small stall carried the life of the whole family. "At that time, my wife and I were busy in the whole store, and we had to get up at three or four o'clock every morning, because some people came to eat at five o'clock, and she got up to prepare in the store, and I went out to buy fresh meat and vegetables. During the school holidays, the children also get up to help, and it feels good to work together as a family. Looking back on those days, Mr. Wang summed it up as "I'm tired anyway."
But despite this, his face was full of memories of that experience. He said that it was the hard work of those years that he knew the difficulty of doing business, and he would cherish every customer and control the quality of every day, which was something that people who came out step by step will stick to it.
To this day, he still does not forget his original intention.
However, due to the special circumstances of the previous few years, he failed to judge the general environment and opened two new stores, which affected his overall business.
After the opening of those two stores, they have basically been in a state of loss, not to mention recovering the upfront investment costs, that is, the daily manual water and electricity bills cannot be earned. Mr. Wang said that it was a wrong decision, but since it had already been opened, he decided to continue to open it.
Mr. Wang has more than a dozen employees in total, and he said that his biggest goal is to ensure that these people can continue to work in his store, perhaps because he has climbed up from the bottom, and he has a strong ability to empathize with front-line employees. "Behind everyone is a family, there are old people and children, and it is even more difficult for me to make it difficult for them. ”
Although there are the feelings of entrepreneurs, the difficulties are also real in front of us. The operating costs of Mr. Wang's stores are about 100,000 yuan per month, especially in the special period, and he has spent a lot of upfront costs, and the working capital in his hands is even less.
Like most people, he also chose to borrow from relatives around him at the beginning, but everyone was short of money during the special period, and some people with savings also tightened their money bags because of the unknown future. "I borrowed money from the juniors around me when I was old, and sometimes I was rejected, and my face was somewhat unbearable, and then I searched the loan platform on the Internet, and found your foreign money bank to borrow, and I borrowed more than 200,000 yuan one after another, and the speed was also fast, which was much more convenient than borrowing money from relatives. ”
Mr. Wang said that it was with the support of reception platforms such as foreign money bank loans that he was able to successfully survive the difficulties in those special periods in those years, and he would still prefer foreign money bank loans if he needed funds in the future. As a platform focusing on intelligent credit services, Moneybank Lending has a deep understanding of the financing difficulties of small and micro business owners, and is committed to using the power of science and technology to expand and deepen the scope of credit services, so as to promote the growth of more small and micro enterprises like Mr. Wang.
