Chapter 481 – What Race Are We?
Koshi country.
It is true that it is a tough time for self-employment.
‘The minimum wage is not normal.’
Some say this.
If you can’t even pay the minimum wage, why are you in business?
Half right, half wrong.
Even the president has his own excuses.
“The first issue is labor costs.”
“I guess so.”
“I can’t do business, but the fixed costs keep going…”
Climbed too steeply.
It rose 16.4% in 2018 and 10.9% in 2019.
‘Someone in the world would have run a business on the premise that the minimum wage would rise by 27% in two years.’
Shops that can’t keep up with change.
Of course, there is no choice but to be.
Of course, it will be removed from the market.
The race logic is supposed to work.
“As you know, it’s not something that can be shortened like a rubber band, right?”
“Because it creates a vicious cycle.”
“If you reduce the number of employees because of the minimum wage, the quality of service will deteriorate, then the number of customers will decrease, and you will have to cut staff again…”
There is a process in the world.
Previously, it was working fine.
‘It’s hard for anyone to accept the changed reality.’
It’s something that happens to the general public as well.
Did I buy this for 10,000 won?
If you suddenly ask for 15,000 won, it feels absurd.
You can fight the shopkeeper.
Such a truth.
The boss just did it.
It is a problem that arises in the process of change.
“We’re also seeing customer complaints piling up.”
“I’ll have to apologize.”
“Since it’s a corona city, it’s hard to force them to increase staff…”
The change was too abrupt.
What was supposed to be done in 5 years was done in 2 years.
Crime is also the fault of the individual.
However, the irrationality of the social system cannot be ignored.
“The second is rent.”
“Didn’t commercial real estate go down a lot?”
“Oh, but the rent is another matter…”
House prices continue to rise.
Try to go up
An important part.
‘Because people around me only hear that you and I climbed up.’
Real estate owners.
They are frantically trying to raise the price of their buildings somehow.
I’m not trying to lower the rent.
Rent is the standard for commercial real estate prices.
“The third is also Corona.”
“Hmm.”
“The business hours are limited, the number of customers in the store is small, and even that is prohibited if the corona outbreak occurs. They say that the cost of quarantine items cannot be ignored.”
Coronara is taken by the hwaryongjeomjeong-eul.
These three are currently the headaches of self-employed people.
Baek Hwa-seon speaks with a firm expression.
As expected, the situation is dire.
As expected.
‘A drastic change is taking place.’
Originally, this happens over several years.
It is accelerating due to policy and natural disasters.
A lot of people suffer.
At the same time, it is undeniable that tremendous opportunities arise.

『KODEX Bio』
KRW 12,535 ▲ KRW 6,610 (+111.56%)
[Graph that goes up like crazy after taking the corona trough.Jpg]
+———————————————
Just like stocks.
It is true that as volatility increases, the difficulty of the chapter increases.
‘Like bio, it’s easy to eat rice cake.’
Catering industry.
The old restaurant is dead.
Can’t keep up with the changes of the times.
What if the other way?
On the contrary, it may show that you are receiving benefits.
“It’s simple.”
“Simple?”
“We can cut down on staff, lower rent, and make sure we can take a lot of orders without a lot of customers.”
“That, what nonsense…”
I’m going by car
Baek Hwa-seon, who was driving, looked at the passenger seat as if he was dumbfounded.
Squeak-!
You don’t have to do anything so risky.
Because the destination is right here.
“Here is…”
“How is it? Pretty cool, isn’t it?”
“Well, they say it’s cool. The appearance.”
New businesses require new buildings.
It’s a local hospital that’s been out of business.
‘It’s quite big.’
The building is also nice.
It is not a place that would appear in a ghost story like Gonjiam.
Operated normally.
This is a case where a university hospital was built nearby and closed.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s been built for a long time. If you go through the interior, you can use the 1st and 2nd floors.”
“Yes.”
“But… Isn’t the location too bad?”
Such hospitals.
It is usually in the C-class commercial district.
Because patients come to know.
———————————————+
『Commercial district level』
Express: Myeongdong, Jongno, Sinchon, etc.
Class A: station area, transportation hub
Class B: residential area, university area
Class C: A place that is hard to hear unless you go looking for it
+———————————————
As a restaurant location, it is a failure.
It’s a place where you can’t be if there are passersby around.
“It’s not even B-level. I saw it on the way back, but there wasn’t even a restaurant.”
“But isn’t the traffic pretty good?”
“?!”
That’s why it has meaning.
You can’t have everything unless you’re in an A-level commercial district.
‘Because B-level commercial districts have narrow alleys.’
Let’s Eat Alley.
It’s called that
People can go, but vehicles are inconvenient to enter.
It’s the opposite here.
The road is open to anywhere in the residential area, so coming and going is free.
“You’re going to do that…?”
“That’s right.”
Baek Hwa-seon also noticed.
I wish I could give this much hint to him who has a lot of experience in the restaurant industry.
‘Got it.’
Delivery specialty store.
Had been there before.
Local chicken restaurants are a typical example.
Enter a C-class shopping district with cheap rent.
And they only accept orders for delivery.
“But… That’s because of the uniqueness of being a chicken house.”
“Now that time will come.”
People can’t leave the house.
That doesn’t mean you won’t eat.
‘There will come an era where everything will be delivered.’
It’s not just eating out occasionally.
It will cover even the usual meal menu.
Remodeling this abandoned hospital.
It makes for a large restaurant.
“It specializes in delivery only… It’s an incredibly unconventional idea.”
“We can solve all labor costs, rent, and even the corona.”
“All of that?”
Of course, we still do deliveries.
It is one of the consumer’s choices.
‘Although not particularly competitive.’
It’s not that other companies don’t.
There is no reason to buy it.
That is, it must be made.
So that consumers can’t wait to buy it.
Percussion!
Go inside the building
The basic construction has already been completed.
“I really don’t have anything… I have to consider the cost of the interior.”
“There is no need.”
“Yes?”
“Because I’ll only deliver.”
It is a kitchen.
There are no counters or tables, just the kitchen.
‘Aren’t they only going to take delivery orders anyway?’
Such an extreme structure.
It can reduce the costs borne by the landlord.
There is no need to be in charge of the hall or the counter.
The machine also takes care of the order.
“Certainly we could hire fewer people.”
“That’s not all.”
“Ah!”
“The rent is also cheap.”
Tens of thousands of dollars in interior costs alone.
Monthly rent goes out every month, several times.
‘It’s all included in the price of food.’
It will disappear
It can be sold at a much lower price.
We put forward overwhelming cost performance.
This is the concept of the shop
“If there are no customers in the store, it can be free even with social distancing.”
“It’s like that.”
“Oh oh…”
The demand for eating out cannot be turned off in an instant.
Who in the world today
‘Would you like to cook everything at home?’
The number of single-person households is increasing day by day.
Seniors also like to be comfortable.
There’s just nowhere to buy.
Corona, price, quality, etc. Catch my ankle.
“You can cut staff, lower rent, and get a lot of orders without a lot of customers. It’s definitely possible with this structure. You have great foresight.”
“It’s not that great. I just got used to it.”
Times are changing.
High wages and rents erode the margins of existing restaurants.
There are many pies that are stolen through delivery.
Due to Corona, the time has been pulled forward.
‘Delivery shops will be extremely popular.’
Dominate first.
It will secure an overwhelming share in the delivery market.
Economies of scale.
This is an opportunity to build a foothold that will eat up the food service industry.
“We are planning to introduce a large number of cooking robots. It is better to keep labor costs as low as possible.”
“It wouldn’t be too expensive…”
“I can do the investment myself. Because money rots.”
“Ah.”
The basics of food are exfoliation.
The more you sell, the lower the cost ratio.
‘If it’s sold cheaply, more will be sold.’
I couldn’t do it until now.
Innovators have preoccupied the market.
What if you try to break in late?
Because, in all likelihood, interference comes in.
It is only possible when times change.
There is also plenty of money to do it.
“As you said, it’s not a problem other than saving the store owners. Korea… Is a major event that could change the ranks of the food service industry in Korea!”
If you think about it, you can’t help but understand.
President Baek Hwa-seon nodded vigorously.
As a person in the industry, I know it better than anyone else.
That a set of strategies would work 100% of the time.
‘Though things in life won’t be solved that easily.’
That is the case in the food industry.
Investors should look further.
Soaring delivery demand.
It will cause one inevitable phenomenon.
“Are you planning to open branches like this all over the country?”
“I’ve already looked for a building.”
“But there is one old woman… Isn’t the building too big?”
It is a cornerstone for that.
This world is not easy enough to pass through only skills.
‘Because I have to have power.’
The prerequisite to dominating the delivery market.
Daughter-in-law, no, become the king of delivery drivers.
