Restaurant Business

Hello John.

Hello Mary. How are you?

I’m fine John. What about you?

I’m fine Marry.

Where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you for quite a long time.

I’ve been in Jakarta to do some business.

That’s quite interesting. So you have your own business.

Yes. I have my own business. I have been running a restaurant business for almost a year.

That’s great. What is the name of your restaurant?

“Delicious” Restaurant. I’m serving traditional Javanese cuisine.
How many restaurants do you have?

I have about 10 restaurants. Mostly are in Jakarta.

So must make a lot of money from your restaurants.

You can say so. I work very hard to create a stable restaurant business. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth the efforts. The first restaurant is the most difficult. The next one is easier. All you need to do is to establish a working business system. Once the system is established, it’s easier to develop and maintain. All you need to do is to duplicate the system.

So you are using a systematic approach to establish a successful business.

Yes, I’m using a systematic approach. it’s by using a systematic approach that you can develop your business into a big one. Traditional methods are not suitable if you want to grow your business.

If you are using a system approach, then I can use your system to open up the similar restaurant of yours.

Of course, I plan to use franchise system to expand my business to the next level. We can work together to establish a thriving franchise system.

That’s sound great. I think we have to meet if we want discuss further about the system.

Yes. It’s better for us to discuss it in detail. Just come to my office.

Okay. I’ll meet you in your office. See there then. Thanks a lot.

See you.
