Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Off to a Good Start

After finishing the meal and tidying up all the dishes, carts, and tables, it was already past five in the evening.

Exhausted with a sore back and aching waist, Cheng Su closed the exterior door of the restaurant before she began to tally up the day’s income. As for tomorrow’s vegetables, it was now too late, so she would have to go buy them early next morning.

In the box, there were plenty of banknotes as well as one-yuan bills. Cheng Su counted them one by one and bundled them into neat stacks. The final result took her by surprise.

Thirty-two yuan in total sales from fast food and individual stir-fried dishes was the gross income. After deducting costs for ingredients and labor, her net profit for the day was eighteen yuan.

She had thought that earning ten or twenty yuan would have been good, but she didn’t expect to have so much as net profit—it was a pleasant surprise.

No, the current prices were still low, the ingredients were cheap, and that’s why the profit margin was larger. As for the labor, she was both the owner and the worker, so for the time being, it wasn’t accounted for.

"Anyway, it’s a good start, not bad at all," Cheng Su said to herself with a smile.

But upon seeing the chairs stacked on the tables, her lips pursed. She really needed to hire someone. Relying on herself alone, there were too many tasks to handle. Even when customers ordered individual dishes, she couldn’t cope by herself.

Today had been exactly that. Some people had ordered individual stir-fry dishes, and due to the lack of help, she missed several orders. Those missed orders equaled missed business opportunities.

After all, the profit margins on individual dishes were even greater.

If she had more hands, she would be able to free up her own. So, it was time to hire someone. Otherwise, on her own, she was stretched too thin, and the business was bound to get better.

What was more important was that, though she wanted to make money, she had no intention of overextending herself to the point of compromising her health. Therefore, she must have someone to share the workload.
