Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 133 The Attraction of Price
"What did you say? Thank you boss?"

With half a piece of pizza wrapped in his mouth, Tri Farley raised his head and mumbled something vaguely.

"Still, the wheat flour pancakes are really delicious?"

"I'm asking about today's business!"

Looking at Tri Farley's reincarnated appearance of a starving ghost, Carter felt a black line on his forehead.

"Forget it, eat first, and then talk about things after eating. Do you want something to drink? I'll go buy some for you."

"No, no, no, we're all ready! Montbat, why are you still standing there, go get the wine from the kitchen freezer! Oh, don't forget there's sugar soda!"

The sugar water in Tri Farley's mouth was naturally Coke. After saying this, he grabbed his head and answered Carter's question.

"Didn't you see all the business today? Oh, by the way, you have to arrange for people to deliver more goods tomorrow. Today's stock is sold out!"

"Sold out? I sent five days' supply. The business is so good? Why?"

Carter was really surprised when he heard that, today is the first day that the burritos are on the shelves.To actually give myself five days of inventory is gone? !Is this too exaggerated?

"Wait, are you sure you didn't lie to me? I admit that tortillas are not expensive, and our previous market performance estimates for them are also very good, but you are too exaggerated!"

"If you're going to say we've got some leftover salad dressing, ketchup, whatever, I'll admit I lied to you. But the tortillas and the beef, yes! Oh yes, and wild boar. Say it myself I don’t even believe it, the wild boar burritos were sold out within half an hour of going on sale!”

"There aren't many chickens left, about [-] servings can be made. You have to hire some people to kill the chickens quickly, otherwise the cost of buying ready-made chicken breasts is still too high!"

After swallowing a piece of pizza again, and taking another gulp of beer.Tri Farley hiccupped comfortably, then slapped his forehead as if suddenly realizing:
"Oh, by the way, I saw that the business was really good at noon today, so I called all the brothers' mothers to help. This is the reward."

"It's okay, go to the bank tomorrow and ask me to get it. $20 per person, and these brothers, the same!"

Although he hasn't had time to look at the books, Carter can roughly estimate the restaurant's revenue today just from the consumption of inventory.

In the previous plan of Carter and Tri Farley, a basic burrito included a corn tortilla, a meat, a few slices of lettuce, and some salad dressing.

A $1 bottle of salad dressing can at least meet the needs of nearly 100 burritos, and the average cost is only 1 cent.Lettuce, totally unaccountable, costs less than 1 cent, big tortillas and meat.

About 5.5 dollars per catty of supermarket beef can make about 8 beef burritos, with an average cost of 68.75 cents per burrito.And for the tacos, that worked out to less than 4 cents.

In other words, the total cost of a beef burrito is currently about 74 cents. According to the almost default doubling pricing method in the catering industry, the price of a basic beef burrito should be 1.48 US dollars, but Carter considered the market The situation has been slightly lowered on this basis, and the final price is 1.35 US dollars.

Chicken burritos are even lower, with an average of at least 50 cents for each burrito sold.And the sales volume they planned at the beginning was to sell 500 copies a day, that's all!Then the five-day quantity is [-] sheets, and the gross profit is about [-] US dollars.
A gross profit of $500 may not seem like much, but remember, this is the first day!Moreover, most of the customers are citizens of Douglas.The sales explosion period that I originally planned, but it hasn't arrived yet!
Applications for the state excise tax break are being processed, so Carter hasn't started dropping prices at the gas station next door.Once the price of oil drops, that's when.
Under this kind of profit prospect, Carter will naturally not feel sorry for the salary of part-timers.Instead, I thanked the aunts very gratefully, which made the aunts a little embarrassed.

There is also free food and money. Even if it’s not much, the conditions are good enough for aunts who don’t have much productivity!
As soon as this person was satisfied in his heart, his eyes became kind and kind.Under the benevolent gaze of the aunts, Carter continued to ask Tri Farley:
"These are trivial matters. Tell me quickly why this business is so good? If it can continue, I have to arrange for someone to find a manufacturer to sign a supply contract, and the cost can continue to be lowered by then."

"Why can't it last? I told you before that you can directly talk to the manufacturer about the supply, but you just don't believe me. You have to test the water and see the reaction before you say anything."

Tri Farley skillfully touched Carter's cigarettes on the table, and lit one after eating and drinking.While lamenting the beauty of life, he casually said:

"You! It's just that the good times have passed for a long time, you really don't know what it's like to live without money!"

"Think about our price, 1 yuan and 24 cents! It's 36 cents lower than the cheapest hamburger at McDonald's! You may not know what this concept is."

"Yes, I really don't have that number in mind."

Carter nodded again and again, in terms of catering costs or pricing attractiveness, he really didn't count.Firstly, he doesn’t do this business, and secondly, he has been a human being in two lives, eating takeaway in the previous life, and eating Jenny’s love dinner or school lunch in the present life.

It can be said that the limbs are not working hard, and the grains are not distinguished. It is a person like Carter.He is neither a practitioner nor has he dealt with daily necessities, so it would be great if he could have a vague idea.
Oh, right!I almost forgot to count the cost of oil and salt.However, this is not a big problem.
Carter remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to have seen a report that the unit price of fritters was sold in the United States, but the merchants could not make much money.It is said that because of the strict regulations in the United States, every time you fry the fritters, you must pour out all the oil and replace it with new oil.This highlights how advanced the American management is, and how healthy the diet is.
Whether the United States will really do this in the future, Carter doesn't know.All he knows is that in the United States right now, the oil used for frying is either exhausted or unusable, and no restaurant will replace it at all.Carter has a conscience to change the oil every half a month, so there is no need to worry too much about the cost of this part, as well as the oil consumed when frying beef.
At the end of the month, count an overall consumption value and record it into the cost!

"Let me tell you this, McDonald's now has at least 3000 stores across the United States. Moreover, the types of meals are relatively fixed, and the raw materials that need to be purchased are not complicated. In this way, they purchase in bulk, and the cost can be said to be very, very low. of!"

"Coupled with mechanized and automated processing. The price of the burgers they make is definitely much lower than the cost of cooking a meal by ourselves! Even in terms of selling price, $1.6 can make an ordinary adult The man is full. And if he cooks by himself, buys vegetables, oil, salt, etc., the final cost will be higher than 1.6 US dollars!"

Cui Farley spit out a long stream of smoke with a "huh", then he laughed.

"The $1.6 Big Mac burger is the basis for McDonald's to open more than 1.6 stores. Then you think about it, their $[-] price is very attractive to the public, and it is very cost-effective. Besides, we are lower than them!"
