That night, Ou Shaotian gathered the higher-ups of Baiyun Restaurant and told them about his findings.
He wanted to gather everyone's opinions.
"According to our investigation, this is the situation of the Zhang Family Hotel. What do you think we should do?"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
The central area of Megrez Island was the most prosperous area on the island and it was also the place with the most wealthy people.
There were three Baiyun Restaurant there. If they couldn't think of a solution, the three stores there would be affected first.
"President, why don't we raise the level of the ingredients!"
Li Ruyu took the lead and said.
However, Ou Shaotian shook his head and said, "I've thought about this but if the other party raises the level, it would still be better than us!"
The Zhang Family was rich and used good ingredients but set the same price as them. To put it bluntly, it was the same logic as a price war.
If they followed the other party's price war, even if they won in the end, their development would be slowed down.
"Why don't we introduce new dishes? Those new dishes should be able to attract more customers!"
Yun Duo said aloud.
In the past few days, Ou Shaotian had tried many new dishes one after another, and all of them were very happy eating them.
They also knew that those dishes were delicious and would definitely attract a large number of customers.
…
Everyone was talking at once and expressed their thoughts.
Unfortunately, none of them were constructive. After all, they were still a group of teenagers and lacked business knowledge. They couldn't come up with any good suggestions at all.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Ou Shaotian said, "Your ideas are not realistic and can't last long. Let's see what I have to do!"
Then, he expressed his thoughts. The first step was to introduce a membership card system and give discounts when topping up. The higher the membership level, the more discounts they could enjoy.
The second step was to introduce a lucky wheel for lucky draws. The prizes would be various dishes, discounts, and so on!
"Now, my idea is to introduce a membership system first. After the other party imitates us, we will continue to introduce the lucky wheel!"
Ou Shaotian knew very well that no matter what they did, as long as they did it well, the other party would definitely imitate them. Therefore, they had to constantly innovate.
"Guild Leader, you are indeed my idol. You can even think of such a method. You are really amazing!"
Li Ruyu and the others' eyes lit up. They were extremely surprised.
"Shaotian is indeed amazing. No matter if it is his culinary skills or his knowledge of food and beverage, he is superior to others. We can't even think of a way to train those workers!"
Zhang Pengpeng thought about Ou Shaotian's actions over the past few days and was full of admiration.
In the past, his IQ had been the highest among them. However, he had been left far behind by Ou Shaotian.
"Yes, yes, Brother Shaotian is always the best!"
Yun Duo's smile was like a flower. In her heart, Ou Shaotian was always the best. It had always been!
"Stop praising. Next, let's think about the membership card. Should we do it physically or digitally? Should we design the membership card directly in the intelligent wristwatch?"
Ou Shaotian asked.
If it was physically, it would be more troublesome and the cost would be higher. In his heart, he was more inclined towards digitally.
Although technology was advanced now, there was too little land. Although the floating island was not small, there were too many people and it was too crowded.
Every industry had to be complete, so every industry was very small.
In his previous life, if he wanted to make a membership card, he could find a place to make a specific magnetic stripe card. However, it was not possible here as the materials were too expensive.
"Let's do it digitally. The cost of a physical card is too high!"
Zhang Pengpeng was the first to speak up.
The others also spoke up one after another. They all had the same idea, which was to do it digitally.
After that, everyone began to discuss how to design the virtual membership card. The main thing was to determine the discount, such as how much money was charged.
After some discussion, everyone decided to give away 10 for 100, 30 for 200, 50 for 300, 100 for 500, and 300 for 1000!
Then, they set the membership card levels. Bronze, silver …
The more money was charged, the higher the membership card level.
…
It was the weekend and there were no classes at the college. Ou Shaotian and the others arrived at the shop in the central area early in the morning.
Opposite the shop was the Zhang Family Restaurant.
The competition between the two restaurants had the biggest impact on the business of this shop. Many customers were pulled away by the Zhang Family Restaurant.
Today was the day to introduce the membership card system.
"Hello sir, your total purchase this time is 38. We are now having a promotion. If you apply for a membership card, you will get a discount when you recharge. Would you like to apply for one?"
The cashier lady at the front desk said with a smile.
As she spoke, she skillfully took out a brochure and handed it to the customer for him to read.
"Wow, it's free even if you recharge. Give me a bronze membership card. I want to recharge 500 low-grade Spiritual Stones!"
The young man was immediately interested and applied for one without hesitation.
"Okay!"
The cashier lady said with a smile.
If you recharge 500 low-grade Spiritual Stones, you will get 100 for free. The balance in the membership card was 600. However, the money that was recharged could not be refunded completely.
"Bill!"
The young man took the new membership card and paid the bill directly.
"Sir, you have spent a total of 38. The balance in the card is 562!"
After spending 38 low-grade Spiritual Stones, he still had 562 left. It was equivalent to a free bill. He even earned 62 more. This was the first time he had seen such a good thing.
"Okay!"
The young man said straightforwardly.
This was the first time he was so happy when he paid the bill. He did not feel the pinch at all.
After paying the bill, he immediately called his friend and said, "Brother, come to Baiyun Restaurant quickly to apply for a membership card. If you have money, you will get …"
He was not the first nor the last.
After knowing about the membership card system, everyone called their friends and came to apply for a membership card.
What could Spiritual Stones be used for? Of course, it was used for cultivation and consumption. However, using Spiritual Stones to cultivate was too boring.
On the other hand, eating the meat of various high-level marine animals could also cultivate.
Thinking about it, these dishes were extremely delicious. Not only was it enjoyable to eat, but it could also help one cultivate. As long as one was not a fool, one would be able to make the right choice.
"Wow, it's actually true. I thought that Little Yang was lying to me. I didn't expect it to be true. Charge me a thousand and apply for a silver membership card!"
A fat man shouted excitedly.
To him, it did not matter whether he cultivated or not. The most important thing was that he could eat delicious food. Moreover, he could also cultivate while eating delicious food!
"It's true. I'll charge too. I don't have much money. I'll charge three hundred and apply for a normal membership card!"
Another young man said excitedly.
As time passed, more and more people received the news and rushed to apply for a membership card.
After applying for a membership card, they continued to spend.
This made the restaurant extremely lively again, just like when it first opened.
After everyone successfully recharged, they were extremely excited and chose to spend without hesitation. The money was spent back.
Moreover, as time passed, more and more people knew about it and rushed to apply for a membership card.
