But many people don't know that this occupation in the countryside many years ago can now earn tens of millions a year. At the beginning, many people gave up this profession directly for work.
But now, the conditions in rural areas are getting better and better, the lives of rural people are getting richer and richer, and the consumption power of rural people is unprecedented. Now people who make a living by this profession use their brains, just like the clouds? Rural Taobao? Just as they took a fancy to the consumption power in rural areas, they also did well in rural areas.
So, what is this profession?
This is the rural catering chef!
China has a large population, and there is a huge market for weddings, funerals, promotions and birthday banquets. Many city people choose to hold banquets in hotels because they have no space and face, while more rural people choose to hold banquets at home, which is both lively and economical.
It is precisely because of the large rural population and the improvement of consumption capacity that the catering consumption market is expanding. Usually there are twenty or thirty tables in a banquet.
In the past, at banquets in rural areas, chefs were invited to cook for one day 100-200 yuan. The other helpers are all from the village, and they don't have to pay. In this case, after one year, even if you can do 200 shows a year, you only need 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
In rural areas, such loose money can't be saved, so many people give up this profession and choose to go out to work.
In recent years, with the improvement of rural conditions, some rural chefs have used their brains to change their previous cooking skills, and now they have become catering contractors, specializing in catering in other villages.
Moreover, their service has far surpassed that of previous rural catering chefs. Besides cooking, they also include banquet table and chair rental, wedding, on-site service, and so on. All kinds of services are available, but they are unexpected and impossible.
Moreover, their current mode is similar to that of hotels, and they are basically set meals (commonly known as dry meals), such as a table of dishes in 500 yuan or 600 yuan (the contractor provides tables and chairs and manual services, but the owner has to buy them separately), and the menu is basically fixed.
According to the standard of a table of 500-600 yuan, twenty or thirty tables can earn ten thousand yuan a day. Excluding food and labor costs, it is effortless to get 2,000 yuan a day (not counting other expenses such as wedding ceremony)!
The catering contractor in our village keeps making appointments all year round, especially during the Chinese New Year, and can make seven or eight tables a day. This income is very considerable. The annual salary is several hundred thousand. No problem. If you are good, you can earn millions a year!
Now many hotels in the city also take a fancy to the rural banquet market, and all drive dining cars to the countryside to make banquets, in order to seize the rural market.
Why do so many farmers choose this model? The reason is that in the previous rural banquet mode, the host had to worry a lot, and it was often ten days and a half. After that, he had to ask someone for help to eat and drink water, which was very troublesome.
Now with such a hotel-oriented market model, things are much less for the owners, just concentrate on greeting the guests, and it is very convenient to do so.
If you are a good cook in the countryside, and the rural banquet mode in your area is still relatively traditional, you can try this new mode, provided that you have all the licenses to do it!
Also, don't forget to report to the food safety supervision department when making a rural banquet, beware of food safety problems!
