Over-selling

in #partiko5 years ago (edited)

Today i took my family to eat in one of the most popular fastfood chain in the philippines.

To be honest i am not a fun of these kind of food but it is very hard to change the mindset of the locals specialy that these fastfood chains have a very strong marketing.

I was happy because i saw my fiancee and my doughter was happy to eat there, but when i was in the counter i was really upset.

First and for all because i know that the price i pay is too high. The same chickens i can buy from the street wendor for lets say 100php and here they ask 499 for the same amount of chickens. Ok lets calculate the rice and the drinks. Even like this together with a profit it worth just around 140php.

But this is not the main stuff.

I was working in catering many years. I use to work as a waiter and bartender or barista than as a supervisor. I know that how is it working.
I know how the management pushing the staff to make over-sales and is some way i understand.

But one thing i hate. Hate it from deep inside of my heart.
When they dont let you know that something is not in the price just when you pay you find out that huppps there is some extra on the bill.

If you make over-sales you should let the guests know that what you offer is aditional so it is not included in the main price.

Even when i was working in that industry i always let the people know if something is free or if i offer something extra than i let them know the price also.

I think this is the fair play.

And to be honest it is not all about the price. I dont mind it. It is all about that they think you are a clown and they can do what ever they like.

And i am not angry for the staff. This is the mistake of the management. That management who are just chill in the back office and they think they are all allmighty. The only ass that they have to lick is the ovners.

When i was a supervisor or even once i was a manager and i saw that there is work i was always there to help to my team.

It is really sad that nowdays things are changeing.
My suggestion is if you wanna make money than be kind. With the staff and with the customers also. Both they will be very happy and that is the secret of sucess😉

Hidd el, tudják azok, csak lesz.rják :) Mindenben ez van, nem csak a kereskedelemben, mindenki tudja, hogy mit hogy merre, teljesen ingyenesen hozzáférhető minden létező infó, de nem, inkább okosabbnak képzeli magát, aztán csodálkozik, hogy akadozva megy a biznisz. Mondjuk nem sajnálom az ilyeneket, legalább hosszú távon kikopnak, és marad hely a tényleg rátermettebbeknek :)

ezek soha nem kopnak ki😂 nolnek mint a gomba. Egy bolond szazat csinal😉 De no para, majd rendelunk Musktol jegyet aztan huzunk a marsra😂
