The catering industry in 2024 is too miserable, and the restaurant that has been operating for 5 years has closed down!
=====================
Ah, in recent years, Fa Xiao has always complained to me about the difficulty of the catering industry. He also said that his restaurant is losing money every day, and the store that he has worked so hard to run is about to close. Whenever I mentioned this, I always frowned, and even my tone became heavy. You know, that store was left by his parents, and they spent five years for it, carrying countless dreams and hopes.
I remember when I was a child, Fa Xiao's family opened a food stall, and the business was prosperous, and I was very busy every day. At that time, he always proudly said: "In the future, I will open a big restaurant, so that everyone can eat my food!"
The restaurant industry, hey, it's really love-hate at the same time. I remember when I was a child, every time I got out of school, I loved to go to the food stall with my friends to eat a bowl of hot chaos, and then a grilled sausage, the taste was really evocative. At that time, the catering industry was a piece of the pie, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. But now, this industry is like a hot potato, whoever takes over will suffer.
Some people say that the catering industry is a people's livelihood industry and is related to everyone's life. That's true, but it also depends on how you run it. Some people are born to do business, even if the industry is difficult, they can do well. For some people, they work hard for half a day and end up with nothing. It's like a restaurant with a small family, which poured everything in, but in the end it still can't be saved.
You may ask, what is the reason why the small restaurant cannot operate? Tell you, there is a lid in the pot - as the old saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth", now the competition in the catering industry is too fierce, and the dishes have to be varied, who can guarantee that the "mouth" will not get sick every time? There are also those location problems, to find a good place to open a store, everyone knows how high the rent of the store in the prime area is, and this is not counting the cost of decoration, labor, etc.
Fa Xiao told me that on the day the restaurant closed, he stood at the door of the store, looking at the customers he was once familiar with, and his heart was mixed. In those days, he kept spinning like a spinning top, busy before and after, but now he ended up shutting down. He said that sometimes he really wanted to give up, but when he thought of his parents' expectations, he gritted his teeth and insisted.
But then again, life is like a play, there are highs and lows. Although Fa Xiaojia's restaurant collapsed, he still has the courage to start over. Just like the old man said: "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person." "After all, only those who have experienced setbacks are better equipped to meet success.
Having said that, the catering industry is really not easy. A few days ago, I went to dinner with my friends and chose a restaurant with a good reputation, but when I waited for half an hour, the food changed its taste when it came up, and even my good mood was lost. Later, I tried a few more, and the situation is roughly the same, either the taste is wrong, the service quality is poor, or the environment is not clean. To be honest, every time I go out to eat, I have to pray silently in my heart: "Please, God, let this meal not hurt your stomach!"
You might laugh and say I don't have much life experience. I'm telling you, wait until you actually sit in the position of a restaurant owner to understand the bitterness and bitterness of this business. Truth be told, I'm a big eater, but I'm also the kind of person who will go for the good taste of every bite, which is simply a luxury, because it not only takes time, but also money to support it.
Hey, the catering industry is really a love-hate industry. Some people have found the value of life here, and some people have lost their wealth here. But no matter what, it's an integral part of our lives. As the old saying goes, "The people take food as the sky", eating is always one of the most important things in our lives.
Therefore, although Fa Xiaojia's restaurant closed down, he did not give up. He said he would get back on his feet and continue to pursue his dining dreams. And I will continue to support him, after all, we all need a good dining environment to enjoy life.
In closing, I would like to say that no matter how tough the F&B industry is, we can't afford to give up. Because, only after experiencing wind and rain, can you see the rainbow. As the famous saying goes: "Failure is the mother of success", only after experiencing failure, can we better meet success. So, let's cheer for Faxiao, cheer for the catering industry, and cheer for life!
