Chapter 256

There were no customers queuing in the hallway outside the restaurant, but there were many customers at the entrance of the restaurant lobby, and many people were sitting in the waiting area waiting in line. I guess some arrangements were made to move the right side of the entrance to the restaurant lobby into a waiting area, which can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people waiting in the front area of ​​the restaurant lobby.

The restaurant is doing good business, and the waiting area is already half full. The plastic chairs used there are simple and of poor quality, which is somewhat inconsistent with the grade of a large restaurant. On the side of the waiting area, there are also a large number of plastic chairs of the same style piled up, which are not placed in a very regular manner. It is estimated that during holidays, if the waiting area is full, chairs may be placed in the outdoor courtyard so that many people can have seats and wait slowly. No matter how good the chairs are, at least they can sit. It is much better than many stores on the same street where you can only stand in line and wait. It is not that the line moves little by little, but everyone gets the same number. When it is your number, you can eat without standing for a long time. If the waiting time is long, you can also go to nearby places. The low-end plastic chairs used are easy to take and take, and they can be replaced with new ones when they are broken, which can reduce losses and replacement costs.

In the suburban 100-yuan buffet restaurant, if it is a holiday, sometimes there are customers who really stand in line for several hours. I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is true. Those people can line up one or two hundred numbers, and may have to wait in line for one or two hours, or even three or four hours, before they can go to the store to eat. There are limited plastic seats in that corridor, and some people will stand and wait all the time, which is tiring to watch. It would be better if the store could prepare more seats, or turn an area in the store into a waiting area, put more chairs, so that many customers in line can sit and wait, but the store does not care.

Seeing that the big restaurant has reserved so many chairs, it shows that the business is booming, and it also allows most customers in line to have a seat, saving their feet. It is still a bit considerate. Customers can stand if they want to, and if they want a chair to sit, the store can give them a plastic chair. It is better than many stores on the same street. You still have to queue, but you can sit and wait for your number, instead of standing in line all the time, and moving forward little by little, making customers stand in line for a long time, which may make customers feel tired.

After entering the door, I stood there for a while, observing the situation and adapting. I looked at the decoration of the outer area of ​​the hotel lobby and thought it was okay. I took a few photos with my mobile phone and saw that there was a display area on the side of the entrance, and someone was watching something there. Because the author is in the mortal world, he has visited four- and five-star hotels and mid- to high-end restaurants in many places in the past few years, and the number of visits is not small. The accommodation in five-star hotels in some big cities is more than 1,000 yuan per night, and there are also 700 or 800 yuan, while the price of newly built four-star hotels is more than 300 to 600 or 700 yuan. Depending on the geographical location, the charges vary a lot, and most of them are of good quality. If a manufacturer goes to a big hotel or invites you to dinner in a hotel restaurant, you will eat dishes that cost thousands of yuan per table. There is no food that is too luxurious or rare, but it is considered to be relatively high-end. I have taken five high-end large cruise ships. The main restaurant of some cruise ships is not inferior to the hotel lobby on land, and may even be more grand and imposing. This summer, I went on a business trip for a while, still traveling with my family. I went to many mid-to-high-end places in first-tier and second-tier cities, stayed in two five-star hotels and several four-star hotels. The treatment for that trip was not low. Especially in a port city, there is a super-large conference hotel that has been newly built in recent years. It is the largest hotel in that city. Although it is relatively remote, it is still of high quality and covers a large area. Regarding some things, the author has not mentioned them yet. Maybe he will talk about some things in the future. Some things, I will talk about them if I want to talk about them, and I may not talk about them if I don’t mention them. I have seen more and more of the world in this life, so I don’t think there is anything. It can be seen that the decoration and layout of the hotel are indeed good, but it is not much higher than some star-rated hotels and excellent restaurants. Some decorations may not be better than some newly built high-end places.

I went to the service desk in the hotel lobby and heard the number being called. I knew I had to get a number and queue up. I said I was dining alone and asked for a number slip. I also asked if there was a service charge for dining here.

The two female clerks wearing glasses at the service desk looked at me strangely and said that there was no service charge in their restaurant and that normal consumption would be sufficient.

I smiled and said, it's good that there is no service charge. I asked if I could order other dishes instead of roast duck. The waitress said there was no limit and asked me to wait in the waiting area. When my number was called, I could go and eat with the number slip.

When I arrived at the waiting area and was about to sit down, a middle-aged woman looked at me and said that the seat was taken, so I went to sit on another chair, saying that there were plenty of seats in the back row. I walked to the side of the waiting area and found some empty seats and quite a few chairs stacked together. After sitting down, I looked around and could see that most of the customers dining in the lobby of that restaurant were not short of money, or had sufficient budgets. They dared to come to the big restaurants in the scenic area to consume, and they knew that they had to spend more money. Many people had psychological expectations. Because the author often went to the roast duck restaurant on the restaurant street in the suburbs. That restaurant was already a large restaurant with high consumption in that area. The consumption of the private room was one thousand or several thousand yuan. That consumption scale was not lower than that of some mid- to high-end restaurants in the city, and it might be close to or equal. The scale of that roast duck restaurant was considered upper-middle class. Among the hundreds of restaurants in the suburbs, it was considered a relatively large store, with several floors of usable area. On average, the author goes to the roast duck restaurant once or several times a month. He knows that most of the dishes in the restaurant are expensive or very high, but he still looks through the menu. Sometimes, he will read the menu completely and look at the expensive dishes. He knows that his budget is limited, but he still looks at it. This is a common thing. Of course, he finally chooses dishes that cost more than 20 to more than 60 yuan. Most of the time, he orders dishes that he has ordered many times, and rarely orders expensive dishes. Since he has to buy a few duck racks after the meal, he has to try to control the consumption at one time to 100 yuan or a little over 100 yuan, so he will not order expensive dishes and will spend appropriately. If it is not a holiday, he may not exceed his budget. He knows how to control his spending.
