Chapter 203 Promotion
There were two shop assistants in the cashier area, one was responsible for collecting money and the other was responsible for issuing orders. On the wooden board in front of them, there were food pattern pictures drawn by Lin Chuyi.
The names and prices of various desserts are marked on the picture, and a thin list of desserts is also placed on the table for guests to choose from.
Currently, Qilixiang has on sale desserts including donuts, milk-flavored rolls, hand-torn bread, croissants, steamed cakes, meat floss bread, original mochi, original egg rolls, and sandwiches.
In addition, there are three drinks, namely sour plum juice, original milk tea, and taro ball milk tea.
Freshly-baked desserts are continuously delivered to the lobby, and the entire lobby is filled with a rich milky aroma that makes one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Unlike other shops that sell pastries by the pound, Qilixiang’s desserts are sold by the portion, with unit prices ranging from three cents to twenty cents.
When the new store opened, Qilixiang offered a promotion of buy three get one free, which is equivalent to a 25% discount for customers who met this condition.
Gifts are given out based on the customer's actual purchases. If you buy three of the same dessert, you will get a dessert of the same kind. If you buy three different desserts, you will get the dessert with the lowest price.
In addition, Qilixiang, like Yipin Guo, has also prepared a lottery event. For every total consumption of more than 100 Wen by a single person in the store, there will be one chance to enter the lottery.
In addition to discount coupons from Lulutong, Jiangxinfang and Yipinguo, there is also a chance to win half-price coupons and free coupons from Qilixiang.
Ordinary people have always had an idea in their minds, that is, if they don't buy something cheap, they won't miss it. Originally, they thought about buying one to try, but when they thought that buying two more would get one for free, which is more cost-effective than buying individually, diners with sufficient money would change their minds and buy three desserts.
Of course, there were also diners who were not well-off and did not have enough money on them, but did not want to miss this event, so they came up with an idea.
That is to find diners with the same low budget to share the order, each choose the desserts they want to buy, and then one person places the order. In this way, it can be considered as one person buying three desserts, and they can also get the gifts.
After paying for their respective desserts, they can share the dessert equally. Although this method may seem like a loophole and may easily be looked down upon, they don't care at all. As for those who can come up with such an idea, they themselves are not the kind of people who care too much about these things.
In their eyes, the benefits they get are much more real than the illusory dignity.
Only a few diners waiting in line at the back expressed disdain for this behavior. More people were inspired by the actions of these few people and started discussing in groups of three or four how to get a better deal while waiting in line. The scene was once very lively.
In addition to these people, there are also some guests who are not short of money. They directly choose one of each style of dessert and have it delivered directly to the second floor, where they plan to sit and eat slowly.
The young men and women waiting in line at the back saw the long queue and asked their servants to queue for them while they went straight up to the second floor and found a place to sit and wait.
The lobby was noisy and bustling, but because Qilixiang had established a rule of queuing to buy from the beginning, there was no trouble.
The store employees at Qilixiang are also very efficient in shipping. There are five girls in charge of picking the goods. Two of them are responsible for matching the corresponding desserts according to the order, one is responsible for checking whether the order information and the matched desserts are consistent, and the remaining two are responsible for packaging and shipping the desserts. Everything goes on in an orderly manner.
Lin Chuyi looked around the scene in the lobby, nodded secretly, then stood at the end of the line and began to queue up obediently.
The queue moved faster and faster, and soon it was Lin Chuyi's turn.
Lin Chuyi took a look at the menu made by Lin Xiangxiang, and ordered two sandwiches and a cup of taro milk tea for herself, choosing to dine in. The sandwich with vegetables, meat and eggs was eight cents each, and the taro milk tea was ten cents a cup.
After Lin Chuyi paid the money and got the receipt, he went to another queue to get his meal.
Soon, she received a wooden tray with two sandwiches wrapped in oil paper and a cup of taro ball milk tea in a bamboo tube on it.
The container for the milk tea is a bamboo tube engraved with the mark of seven-lixiang. The customer pays ten cents for a cup of milk tea and a cup.
It is written on the bulletin board at Qilixiang that guests can choose to bring their own containers for drinks. If guests bring their own containers, the packaging fee of two cents can be deducted from the original price of the drink.
For customers who like to drink milk tea but think the price is a bit high, this is a good thing. By saving the money for four milk teas, they can have one more cup of milk tea. Saving is earning.
Qilixiang can also save the use of bamboo joints. After all, as time goes by, the variety of drinks will continue to increase and more branches will be opened. By then, bamboo joints will definitely be in short supply.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to cultivate the awareness of guests bringing their own containers from the beginning.
Customers who are not short of money take the bamboo tubes engraved with the Seven-Li Fragrance logo back home, and think of it as free publicity for the store. In any case, they will not lose money.
Lin Chuyi carried the tray to the second floor. The furnishing style of Qilixiang was very different from that of Yipin Guo. The tables and chairs on the second floor were modern and simple in style, and were arranged in an orderly manner, not appearing crowded at all.
At this moment, quite a few people were already sitting on the second floor. Everyone was either talking in low voices or quietly enjoying the food, which formed a sharp contrast with the noisy first floor.
In addition to the guests on the second floor, there were three employees in Qilixiang work clothes walking around.
Lin Chuyi was now dressed as a man, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to sit among the women. She chose a corner to sit down, and while eating, she observed the clerk's hospitality attitude and his mastery of professional content.
After observing for a while, Lin Chuyi nodded secretly in his heart. The main job of these shop assistants here is to answer customers' questions, clean up, and maintain order on the second floor.
The three of them played a crucial role in creating such a harmonious and clean dining environment on the second floor. In such a short period of time, they were able to train these people with no basic skills to what they are now. This shows how good Qian Laiye and Lin Xiangxiang are at training people.
There were no problems with the service provided by the shop assistants, and there was no need to worry about the taste of the desserts since Lin Xiangxiang personally controlled it. In Lin Chuyi's opinion, being able to make desserts to this level was already very good considering the incomplete facilities in ancient times.
Putting aside other things, the fact that there is no automatic mixer is enough to give a pastry chef a headache, because it means that all work that requires mixing and whipping has to be done manually.
