Why do street food stalls and barbecue stalls look inconspicuous but make money? Do you make money by barbecue? Roadside stall)

To sell snacks in the street, as long as there is a booth, a small table, a few small stools and a big umbrella, you can open your business. Three years ago, my children also sold snacks in the street, mainly fried potatoes, gluten, chicken legs and the like, as well as cold noodles, cold cakes and hand-rubbed ice powder. The ingredients sold are all purchased in the wholesale market. After getting familiar with the supplier's boss, it is convenient to send any materials to a telephone boss when you need them. At that time, 5 yuan sold a potato and 3 yuan sold an ice powder, and the profit of all the vegetables sold was basically around 50%. If you do it alone, prepare the ingredients at 10 o'clock every morning, arrive at the stall at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and close at about 10: 30 in the evening. When the business is good, the daily turnover is about 400, and when it is bad, it is about 200. Many people think it is easy and profitable to sell snacks in the street. If the booth is large, there are many people working, and the variety sold is complete, clean and delicious, such a booth will definitely have more diners and earn more money. On the contrary, no matter how tired you are, you won't make much money. In short, it is inevitable that the food stalls and barbecue stalls on the street are simple because of the restrictions of conditions. If you choose a good booth location, you have a large flow of people and are familiar with the purchase channels. The dishes you sell can attract diners, and you are willing to be tired and willing to suffer. It must be very profitable.

Yes! Street snacks barbecue, simple but profitable, because they are simple little things.

Such as leek, a string of three, three yuan. So the profit is great.

This is because of three factors: cost, psychology and living habits. Specifically, it is the following:

First, the cost is low. Street food stalls and barbecue stalls have low rental costs. They are all old houses or temporary places to live, and an indoor kitchen is enough. Just don't let one or two rooms wind and rain. Usually, guests eat out, but not many guests eat barbecue in the house. Eating barbecue itself is a feeling of freedom on a small table, so the cost of renting a house is much less than that of a hotel or restaurant. In addition, the cost of ingredients is low, the unit cost of roadside snacks barbecue is low, and the profit is higher than that of hotels, such as leeks, three in a string, three yuan. So the profit is great, and now the ingredients of snack barbecue are all produced by assembly line. You only need to go to the morning market or wholesale market every day to purchase finished products directly, and the cost is not high.

Second, psychological expectations are low. The food stall barbecue stall itself is a small business, and the investment is relatively low. For merchants, the unit price of customers does not need to be very high. Every table or every customer spends hundreds of thousands, as long as there is profit. Especially this kind of street food stall selling skewers and pancakes, one person can get it for ten or twenty dollars, and earn a lot in one day. Our roadside carts sell kebabs at night, with a profit of several hundred dollars every night. But then again, it's hard to stay up late and get up early.

The third is the influence of living habits. Now is a fast-paced era, everyone is in a hurry, and everyone prefers to eat fast, simple and delicious. Street food stalls and barbecue stalls conform to such living habits. After work, everyone can buy what they want to eat directly on the roadside and take it home. Or get off work very late, very tired, call three or five friends or a few colleagues to have a barbecue, and come and go in a hurry. Moreover, barbecue snacks are all heavy salt and heavy ingredients, which is in line with the public's taste. In line with most living habits, the passenger flow is large, and the profit is naturally indispensable.

The above is my own view on this issue, and the improper points are welcome to be discussed.
