How profitable is the humble noodle shop on the street? Boss: 2 cars and 3 suites, better than white-collar workers
[Introduction] In daily life, in some less prosperous streets, you can often see many dirty small noodle restaurants, and the density of noodle restaurants is also very large, there will be one every tens or hundreds of meters. The hygienic quality of these noodle restaurants is really worrying. At first glance, they always give people a dirty feeling. So in reality, how much can these dirty small noodle restaurants make in a year?
Let's take a look at the narrative of a noodle restaurant owner: I run a small noodle restaurant in Jiulongpo, Chongqing. The shop is my own. At present, the noodle restaurant has been in operation for more than 30 years. It has been making noodles since my father's generation. Although the restaurant is not large, only over 60 square meters, but because it is specializing in noodles, there are also many old diners. On average, a bowl of noodles can be sold for seventeen or eight yuan. Currently, my wife and I each have a family car. There are also three suites in Chongqing. Although the area is not large, they are all about 100 square meters. I feel that they are much stronger than those white-collar workers who work in cubicles.
- Repeat customers are the main force of consumption
The most important part of running a catering business is to slowly cultivate repeat customers. This process cannot be rushed and may take decades. But when enough repeat customers have accumulated, the business will stabilize and it's just business as usual every day. Coupled with the accumulation of word-of-mouth effects, the business will naturally become more and more prosperous. With the improvement of people's living standards, even if the price of a bowl of noodles increases by three or four yuan, it will not feel like a ten-year extension of this time scale. what. After all, everyone is used to eating in a restaurant, which is equivalent to eating at home, so even if the noodle shop is not well decorated, everyone will not care, because they value the taste more.
- Your own shops do not need to bear high rents
Now many shops on the street, the main reason why they are not making money is because the rent is too high. Maybe the rent of the shop alone is as high as hundreds of thousands every year. Just imagine, how much profit can a restaurant run by a husband and wife be able to make a year? But many noodle restaurants and shops on the street are their own. In this case, you only need to bear the cost of water, electricity and some raw materials. Just imagine, others spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for rent alone, but for those who have shops, these hundreds of thousands are pure profits, so after a year, the income is naturally very considerable.
