Why do cafeterias rarely expand through chains?

Most people think that when a canteen buys so many buffet materials, the seller will definitely sell them to the canteen at a discount, so the first thing they consider when choosing dishes is not how much they can accept, but how much they can "earn". They seldom think that once the food they take away is left, it is not just as simple as destroying the food.

More importantly, they indirectly let the canteen lose money; Second, although the food in the cafeteria is hot and cold, it is mostly cold. Most people adhere to the principle of "come in hungry and go out with a full stomach" and eat a lot of high-calorie food. And they all decide what to eat according to their own preferences, without paying attention to whether the food is balanced. After a long time, it will cause great harm to the stomach. When people realize it, the canteen may be blacklisted by them.

Third, most of the waiters in the cafeteria work backstage, even if there are front desk employees to help entertain them, there are not many, and the buffet has always advocated that everyone do it themselves. Since it is self-help, you don't need much help from the waiter. But people who don't know will think that this is a problem of the canteen staff, so it will leave a bad impression. If they plan to eat buffet in the future, they will not give priority to the cafeteria that left a bad impression on them. It can be seen that it is getting harder and harder to run a canteen.

Fourth, the problem lies in the canteen itself. People who have been to many canteens will feel more or less that the buildings and decoration of canteens are mostly the same, and there is no quiet place to eat. In fact, Bian Xiao thought it was too difficult to make the canteen as perfect as we thought. It's not that the canteen doesn't want to improve, mainly because there are many constraints.

In a word, we can't easily draw a conclusion about how the canteen will develop in the future. At present, what the cafeteria should do is how to improve customer satisfaction and how to improve the competitiveness of the cafeteria with other restaurants. Only in this way, the canteen will not be passively in trouble.
