In a coffee shop at Jiangmen Wuyi University, Lian Ming, Tao Wanjun and Feng Jiewen are settling the day's turnover. They are college students at Wuyi University and partners in this coffee shop. After more than three months of operation, the monthly net profit of the coffee shop has been

Three young bosses met when they decorated a hotel for a long-distance couple, and they all made some money from their part-time jobs. After knowing each other, they came up with the idea of starting a business together. After investigation, they found that there was a lack of "small leisure space" in the school. After considering the flow of people and the needs of customers, the three agreed to open a coffee shop with the theme of "comfort" under the dormitory of the southwest campus.

Combined with the psychological needs of college students, the trio decided to take "meet a good cup of coffee here, meet the right person" as the slogan of the coffee shop, and named the coffee shop Meet Coffee. The coffee shop is divided into two floors, the first floor is relatively small as a front desk, the second floor has more than 20 square meters, as a place for guests to sit down and drink coffee.

Before opening the shop, in order to inspect the market, the trio also went to Guangzhou University City to take a tour. "the structure of the shops in the university town is actually similar to that of Wuyi University, such as laundry rooms and snack shops. We originally wanted to open a milk tea shop, but there was already one in the canteen, so we changed it to a coffee shop, "says Lian Ming. At 11:00 in the evening, Lian Ming and Tao Wanjun were packing up the things in the store.

At the beginning of the store, the three asked their parents for some money, plus the money they earned from working and borrowed from friends, and each invested 30,000 yuan. The monthly rent of the store is 3800 yuan. In addition, you need to buy coffee machines, ice makers, display cabinets, bars and so on before opening the shop. At 6: 00 p.m. on December 10, the three held a monthly meeting with other part-time student employees to sum up the problems in the operation of the coffee shop.

"the coffee shop has officially opened and has gone through two stages. In the first stage, starting from mid-July, we went to learn how to mix drinks and how to run a coffee shop; the second stage was to decorate, "says Lian Ming. He mentioned that during the renovation period, almost all three people were busy except sleeping in class: "riding a rickshaw to buy chandeliers, personally assembling tables and chairs, quarrelling, blushing and having thick necks." On the afternoon of December 10, Lianming came to a coffee shop in the city to buy related raw materials.

On September 1, the coffee shop officially opened for business, and as the business was booming, it hired a professional chef to prepare drinks. On the afternoon of December 10, Lianming came to the vegetable market to buy food and prepare for the evening staff dinner. The shop assistant said to him in Cantonese, "four yuan a jin". After listening to Lianming in Anhui Province, his hometown stared: "what?" Ten yuan a jin? "

On the evening of December 10, the two owners and all the employees set up a small table in the water shop near the coffee shop and began to eat hot pot, and didn't forget to take a selfie with them. "now our coffee shop is on the right track: it costs about 10,000 yuan a month to buy raw materials, 1000 yuan a month for water and electricity, and 8 yuan per hour for part-time jobs. Our income is about 1000 yuan a day, which makes a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan a month. " Lian Ming said.

At the same time, Feng Jiewen looked after the store alone. Feng Jiewen, a native of Jiangmen and the youngest of the three, is now a sophomore in the school of information engineering, while Lian Ming and Tao Wanjun are juniors in the school of management. "when I opened the store, I didn't think too much about it, so I did it when I thought about it," says Feng Jie-wen.

After opening, the three bosses carried out a clear division of labor in order to "optimize the allocation of resources": Lianming is relatively moderate, responsible for payroll, finance, purchase of raw materials, and the operation of Wechat public platform; Tao Wanjun is radical but has a strong executive ability. responsible for storefront hygiene, part-time staff scheduling and Weibo marketing; and Feng Jiewen is responsible for comprehensive and meticulous consideration, responsible for cashier and storefront decoration. At 11:00 on the evening of December 11, Lianming moved in the Christmas tree outside the store, ready to close the shop.

"quarrels are common, but they will always be reconciled," says Lian Ming. He advocated the separation of work and feelings, and Tao Wanjun also mentioned: "Cooperation in opening this coffee shop has made me realize that cooperation is very important and learn to consider the ideas of others." At noon on December 11, Lian Ming came to Tao Wanjun's dormitory and the two discussed the WeChat operation of the coffee shop.

When it comes to business philosophy, all three emphasize that the means of management is the second, and food quality is the core. At noon on December 11, Feng Jiewen went to an indoor cake shop to restock. "the cake in this shop is very good. If you sell a piece of cake in your own store, you can earn 50 cents," Feng said.

Three people said that when starting a business, they found that some of the ideas taught by teachers in class will imperceptibly affect you, the control of cash flow, the use of funds, and so on, so learning is really important. On the afternoon of December 10, Feng Jiewen was reviewing a stack of materials in the store. He had an exam in the afternoon. "Hey, cramming at the last minute, hey," says Feng Jiewen.

After reviewing for a while, Feng Jiewen simply played with his mobile phone. Now the biggest plan of the coffee shop is to do a good job in quality and network marketing. The store's Wechat and Weibo marketing has begun to bear fruit. "We have attracted a lot of customers in the forwarding lottery and complimentary drinks, and we will retain customers through high-quality products," Feng said.

In addition to being the boss, the trio are also excellent as students. Lian Ming and Tao Wanjun are fellow villagers in Anhui. They serve as the president and vice president of the Anhui fellow-townsman association in the school, respectively. Tao Wanjun is also the minister of the student department of the student union in the college. Feng Jiewen is the minister of the Public Relations Department of the Communist Youth League Committee. The picture shows a group photo of the three people posted on the wall of the coffee shop.

"I signed a four-year contract when I rented this store, but I'll talk about it when I don't continue to do it after graduation. The current state can be scored 75, there are still many details to be improved, and not enough mistakes have been made, "Lian Ming said. At noon on December 11, the trio and other friends took a group photo in the store.
