Chapter 222: Cosplay Shop
Watching Song Xia looking like she was daydreaming about the future, the corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched twice.
Looking at how popular the coffee shop was, he knew that what Song Xia had just said wasn't just empty talk.
At this rate of development, it would be realized very soon.
With a minimum daily income of 15,000, that would be 450,000 a month.
Although this 450,000 wasn't pure profit, employee salaries and various expenses had already been settled at the beginning of the month.
Therefore, this 450,000 would all be counted towards the System Funds.
Fortunately, it was only 450,000; among his current massive expenses, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
This was the only thing that made Chen Mo feel relieved.
"By the way, where is Teacher Su?"
Chen Mo suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Su Dan in the Cat Cafe.
"Oh, the Maid Cafe is opening today, so Teacher Su went over there," Song Xia replied.
A Maid Cafe?
Chen Mo froze for a moment, and his mood instantly soured.
The Cat Cafe wasn't enough.
They even had to go and set up a Maid Cafe; couldn't they just let me lose some money in peace?
"Where is the Maid Cafe? Take me there to see it."
He turned to look at Song Xia; he wanted to see what kind of tricks these people had come up with for him.
He left the Cat Cafe with Song Xia, went to the parking lot, and headed straight for the location of the Maid Cafe.
An hour later, the vehicle stopped by the side of the road.
Under Song Xia's guidance, they arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop.
Chen Mo glanced at the coffee shop's sign.
Nanhe Coffee Maid Cafe.
"General Manager Chen, let's go in."
Song Xia took the initiative to open the door and said.
"We originally planned to have a traditional boutique coffee shop on the first floor and a Maid Cafe on the second floor. later, however, when you requested that we open three coffee shops at the same time, we abandoned that plan."
"Compared to having two types, a pure Maid Cafe might be more attractive. After all, customers of traditional coffee shops and those of a Maid Cafe are basically two different groups of people."
Chen Mo was listening to Song Xia's explanation and didn't have time to respond before he saw two staff members dressed in cosplay costumes walking over.
Judging by their attire, one was clearly a cat-eared girl, and the other was a rabbit-eared girl.
"General Manager Song!"
The two staff members looked at Song Xia and greeted her.
Song Xia nodded, then pointed to Chen Mo standing beside her.
"This is the owner of the coffee shop, General Manager Chen Mo."
Hearing Song Xia's introduction, the two staff members were slightly stunned. They hadn't expected the boss to be so young, then they hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, General Manager Chen!"
Chen Mo nodded slightly.
"Where is Teacher Su?"
"Teacher Su is on the second floor with Store Manager Zhou Mei."
The staff member hurriedly replied.
"Take me there."
Chen Mo said indifferently. He looked around the shop and discovered that even though it had just opened, there were quite a few customers.
At every table of customers, there was a staff member dressed in a cosplay costume.
Some were playing board games, and others were playing small games…
What was going on?
How could there be so many customers when it had just opened?
Chen Mo was puzzled; he felt that there must be something fishy going on.
He followed the staff member to the second floor and surely found Teacher Su and Store Manager Zhou Mei.
The layout of the second floor was somewhat different from the first. In the very back, there was a half-meter-high platform, and looking at the spotlights installed on the ceiling, he knew it must be a small stage.
"Hello, General Manager Chen!" "Hello, General Manager Chen!"
Su Dan and Zhou Mei hurriedly greeted him when they saw General Manager Chen approaching.
"Hmm."
Chen Mo nodded and looked at the almost full second floor, then said indifferently.
"Didn't you say it just opened today? How come there are so many customers?"
"This is all thanks to Zhou Mei. She has a circle of people who are into cosplay."
Su Dan said, gesturing toward Zhou Mei beside her.
Chen Mo turned to look at Zhou Mei. He had some impression of this girl; she was the one Song Xia had brought from Kyoto.
At this moment, she was dressed just like the other staff members, wearing a cosplay costume. Although he didn't know who she was dressed as, the style of the outfit definitely made her look like a mature, cool woman.
Zhou Mei sensed Chen Mo's gaze and felt somewhat nervous.
"Um, General Manager Chen, I have many cosplay groups. There are a lot of people in these groups who like cosplay, and after they heard the Maid Cafe was opening, they all came to show their support."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as the Maid Cafe hadn't already built a reputation right after opening, it would be fine.
This Maid Cafe was different from the Cat Cafe. There were not a few people who liked cats, and after seeing the Cat Cafe and the cats inside, many would go in to take a look.
But this Maid Cafe was different; the ACG circle was still relatively limited. As long as he didn't do any publicity, it would probably be very difficult for this Maid Cafe to make a name for itself.
However, Zhou Mei's next words immediately extinguished all his hopes.
"However, because there were too many people coming to support us, and several more batches will be arriving later, we are already booked up to five days from now. These people will also help us promote it. The ACG circle is neither small nor large. But after these people promote it, our Maid Cafe will basically be known throughout the ACG circle."
"Quite a few people even traveled here from other places."
Listening to Zhou Mei's words, Chen Mo looked at her seriously.
"Those people trust you that much? They just took your word for it when you told them about the Maid Cafe?"
"Hehe!" Zhou Mei smiled a bit embarrassedly.
"I am the group owner of those groups. I used to organize certain anime conventions or other ACG events, so there's no problem with my credibility."
Chen Mo was completely silenced after hearing Zhou Mei's explanation.
He realized that among his employees, why did a talented person keep popping up from time to time?
With the Maid Cafe set up like this, he wouldn't have to worry about not having customers in the future!
He let out a long sigh, making a final struggle.
"Have you calculated today's profit?"
"Yes, we have. If everyone who made an appointment today comes, the daily income will be around 20,000."
"Why is it so high?"
Chen Mo looked puzzled; this income was even higher than the Cat Cafe!
"The revenue model of the Maid Cafe is different from the coffee shop. You have to pay an entrance fee to enter the Maid Cafe. The ticket price is 118, which includes a 50-yuan Americano, and the time limit is two hours."
"Moreover, there isn't just coffee in the Maid Cafe; there are other drinks and some snacks. Ordering these items requires additional payment."
"Basically, by receiving 150 customers a day, we can reach a turnover of 20,000."
Hearing Zhou Mei's explanation, Chen Mo felt a headache coming on.
20,000 a day, that would be 600,000 a month.
Adding in the Cat Cafe, that would be a monthly revenue of over one million!
In other words, he would have to spend an extra million this month, but fortunately, he had prepared in advance, and this million could still be spent.
Seeing that the two had finished talking, Su Dan stepped forward and spoke.
"General Manager Chen, Song Xia and I discussed it. Currently, both the Cat Cafe and the Maid Cafe are operational. In the future, when we open branch stores, we can appropriately increase the proportion of Cat Cafes and Maid Cafes."
"After all, the traditional boutique coffee shop hasn't become profitable yet, so we can use the Cat Cafe and the Maid Cafe to build our reputation first."
