Now is the age of technology. Unlike in the early years, when ordering a takeaway, you could only call in, and you had to find a front desk to answer the phone constantly, and then enter the order into the computer.

Since Lin Zidan wanted to make this restaurant, he asked Andrew's development team to make him a website and a matching app. This website is the same as a domestic treasure, but it is not the same. Orderers can see each A picture of the outer packaging and finished product of instant noodles.

Then, when you order the basic item, a free salad will be automatically added. If you want to add other things, such as braised beef, braised prawns, or more cheese and vegetables, there will be different prices.

If you don't eat instant noodles and just want their vegetable salad and other independent snacks, such as cup cakes from Emma, ​​or cheese cakes, etc., you can also order them directly.

Of course, these will be marked with an independent price, but there is a consumption limit for meal delivery, and meals less than $20 can only be picked up by yourself.

In addition, this platform can also allow customers to track the time from ordering to preparation time, and the time of departure and arrival of the takeaway. Of course, each order will be marked with different delivery fees and tips according to the distance.

Similar to many online shopping platforms at home and abroad, but different, Lin Zidanjia's instant noodle website is simple and clear, a bit like the homepage of a pizza shop, but due to the epidemic, it can only be paid online.

In fact, there are many online ordering platforms of the same type in the United States, and the development is quite mature, but the only bad thing is that these platforms are all charging platforms, generally charge 20% of the total consumption from your order. Wait.

Lin Zidan is a small restaurant, but he only joined a relatively convenient ordering platform, which is also the most popular and convenient platform called ubereats. The advantage of this platform is that there is no need to recruit additional delivery staff, but the fees are quite considerable.

Lin Zidan has a long-term plan to build such a platform and app. Many people say that it is difficult to chain Chinese food, and he just wants to create a brand chain instant noodle shop that is easy to replicate.

Not only to cover the whole of New York, it is better to cover the whole of America, like McDonald's KFC!

----------------------------

After several months of renovation, recruitment and website construction, Lin Zidan's instant noodle shop finally opened in mid-October. Instead of taking the high-end route suggested by Frank, it took the affordable route that is very close to the people. Equivalent to the mid-to-high level of fast food in New York.

A very ordinary instant noodle soup with half a marinated egg, Lin Zidan sells for $16.99, and comes with a vegetable salad.

Other options are to add beef, braised pork, prawns, fish **** and chicken, vegetables, cheese, etc., like adding topping to pizza. The price is slightly different depending on what you add, but the most expensive is no more than $30.

In addition to the accompanying salad, Lin Zidan also added a few snacks that he can make, such as vegetable and shrimp salad, sweet and not spicy shrimp chips, fried onion rings and French fries.

There are also desserts such as cup cakes and light cheesecakes that Emma makes by herself when she is in a good mood, but Emma's products are only available in limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lin Zidan inquired about the reasons why so many instant noodle shops in China were closed. In addition to the high price and low freshness, the main reason was that the domestic people had too many choices to eat. In the United States, their choices were relatively limited. .

In addition to eating tired pizza, it is a hamburger with the same formula for many years, and most of those time-consuming and laborious pasta are only limited to dine-in, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced, and then there are the improved Chinese food made by overseas Chinese. takeout.

Before the opening, Lin Zidan made a lot of advertisements in his own "New York Life" weekly, GreatDealApp and the supermarket's website.

Emma also recorded all the recent process from decoration to opening, as well as some finished pictures of Lin Zidan's production samples, which were recorded on Youto and uploaded to the Internet, which attracted a lot of onlookers and likes. Many New Yorkers say they must come and experience this fresh food.

On the day of the opening, Chu Feng, Xiao Cheng, and even Joseph came to cheer, each with their best wishes and flowers, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the restaurant according to social distancing.

Lin Zidan expects that the sales on the day should not exceed 100 bowls, so the first promotion he opened is that the first 10 self-pickup orders after the opening at 11 o'clock are all free.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened at 11 o'clock, a lot of orders came in on their two ordering platforms.

It was said to be 6 hours of work. In fact, Lin Zidan and the chef had to start work at 10 o'clock to prepare the ingredients and soup base for the day. They barely finished all the preparations in an hour. As soon as the door opened at 11 o'clock, the order continued. .

In order to avoid unnecessary labor costs, Emma temporarily acted as a cashier, but this girl has no experience in restaurants, so the experienced Li Manrui rushed to the front line to help a lot.

Because most of the orders are from the Internet, the kitchen only needs to make the order according to the order, while a few people outside are busy packing. The new food delivery brother has been busy for a long time and found that there are not enough staff, so he really came to help Kyle and Ann have both been sent to deliver food.

Fortunately, because customers are not so familiar with their apps and websites, most of the takeaways are delivered by Ubereats' dedicated team, otherwise there will be a backlog of orders on the day.

"You know it's not that easy to do in a restaurant, right? I'm afraid you can't stand this meal. It seems that you have to find two skilled people to pack and cash out tomorrow!"

After a busy day, Lin Zidan smiled at Emma's flushed cheeks.

"I think it's very interesting. I've never been so busy when I've grown up, and I feel so important, hehe~" Emma was excited as she sorted out the last batch of orders and handed them over to the courier from Ubereats. typical.

"I've never seen a young lady like you, and I think it's good to be busy. When I go home and sleep, I'll know what it feels like to have a sore back!" Li Manrui walked over and said with a smile.

"But Mom, your hand speed is really fast. You pack five packs and I haven't finished one pack yet! Hehe~" Emma quickly complimented.

"That's right, I've been working in restaurants for many years. Okay, hurry up, pack up and get off work. Emma will rest at home tomorrow. I'll ask Zhuang Ning to come over and help her, and let her know how I ran a restaurant back then. of."

After Li Manrui finished speaking, she shook her clothes. This one was like her shirt, with black clothes and black trousers, which she wore for many years when she was working in a restaurant. It was neat, and she looked very capable.

Before leaving get off work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Zidan has already prepared most of the things to prepare for the next day with Master, so that you don't have to be too nervous when you come early tomorrow morning.

Back at home, Lin Zidan went to take a hot bath first to wash off the fatigue from the first day of opening. When he came out, he saw Emma sitting in the living room with a calculator doing calculations.

"Daniel, do you know how much money we made today?" Emma immediately said excitedly when Daniel came out.

"How much did you earn?" Lin Zidan wiped the water droplets off his head with a towel, walked over and sat beside Emma, ​​smiling genuinely.

"Look, I haven't figured it out yet, hehe~" Emma smiled embarrassedly.

"Isn't that good? Just add up the total sales of the two platforms." Lin Zidan looked down, Emma took a notebook and wrote and drew for a long time, but she still hadn't come up with a result.

"Isn't there a tax and a tip? The tip and delivery fee on this platform are all included, but this one doesn't seem to be included~" Emma said with a pouted mouth and a confused face.
