Chapter 543: Chapter 529: Exceptional Approval of His Little Shop

The evening business was as good as ever.

Customers coming in later quickly noticed something different about the restaurant.

"Whoa, I’ve noticed that now we can scan with WeChat or Alipay to order directly at the store. This is so much more convenient than using the self-service order machines! Now you don’t need to line up at the machines or at the counter; you can just find a seat and order by scanning. It’s indeed much more convenient!"

"Yeah, it’s super convenient to just sit at your seat, scan to order, and wait for the food, saving me so much time I used to spend waiting in line to order! I must say, Boss Huang’s restaurant is getting more professional and keeping up with the times!"

"I think it’s great. It not only effectively reduces labor costs but also improves the efficiency of customers ordering. Not bad, not bad, I really like this move."

"It’s good, but scanning to order on the phone is just like using those self-service machines before. For us older folks, it’s a bit tricky to operate! I didn’t even know how to use scan-to-pay until after learning for a long time."

The young people were very satisfied with this kind of scan-to-order service and gladly accepted this change.

After all, scanning a QR code could handle queuing, ordering, and payment services.

It’s very convenient!

But for elderly folks who weren’t adept with smartphones, it was still a bit hard to adapt.

After all, the steps for scan-to-order were too many and complicated. Their hands aren’t nimble, and their eyesight isn’t great, easily leading to wrong touches during ordering, making it difficult for them to find the next step if they’re not familiar with smartphones.

For them, ordering at the counter was still more convenient.

Ding Suqin smiled as she patiently told the elders, "Li, if you can’t manage it, you can come to the counter to order from me directly. Also, there’s an ordering guide on each table; you can follow it to try ordering. Do it a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it."

In terms of considerate service, Delicious Restaurant really stands out!

The elders were quite satisfied with this thoughtful action.

Then they all attempted to try operating it a couple of times.

Ding Suqin smiled and reminded them, "The restaurant has launched a top-up system today; there’s a discount for topping up: top up 100 yuan and get 10 yuan, 500 yuan and get 80 yuan, 1000 yuan and get 180 yuan..."

As soon as she said this.

It immediately aroused the interest of the customers.

"Whoa~ You can top up now?"

"You can top up directly with WeChat?"

Ding Suqin nodded with a smile and replied politely, "Yes, you can top up directly with WeChat."

She didn’t forget to add at the end, "You can also use Alipay."

"Then I’ll top up a hundred bucks first!"

"Oh, come on, what’s a hundred bucks gonna do? You should at least start with 500 yuan!"

"Exactly, exactly, spend the money where it counts. Even if I uninstall the King of Glory game, I have to top up a thousand yuan."

Every customer who came into the restaurant, upon learning about the top-up discount promotion, took out their phones and started scanning to top up.

For a while, besides the sound of customer conversations in the restaurant, there was a continuous stream of Alipay and WeChat notification sounds.

"500 yuan received via Alipay."

"500 yuan received via WeChat."

And the customers who stayed to dine in the restaurant, while enjoying their meals, were involuntarily absorbed in the experience, feeling they couldn’t get enough.

Especially some college students who had been unable to eat at the restaurant recently due to exams. At the moment they started eating, they felt like the overwhelming stress from exam questions had been soothed at that moment.

The entire person felt joyful and satisfied.

No words could describe how happy they were!

Ji, with his mouth full of food, said, "I was starving after the exam this afternoon, and now eating such delicious three-in-one braised rice is just too blissful! I must say, Boss Huang is amazing; the food he makes every day is so delicious, unlike our school cafeteria’s chef, who’s ridiculously bad. Every day is a new strange taste."

Wei nodded in agreement while still chewing, "Absolutely, that stir-fry stand on the second floor of our school cafeteria can turn shredded potatoes into something sweet and sour. I think if I stayed at school, I’d starve sooner or later!"

Yan Ming also agreed with his two roommates and half-jokingly said, "Can’t we kidnap Boss Huang to our school to be our head chef?"

"Not a bad idea!"

Lin Yuhan nodded, but the next second, noticing the ill-intentioned glances from the street folks, she awkwardly smiled and gave Yan Ming a look, "But if we really did that, the neighbors would probably want to kill us, right? After all, Boss Huang is the treasure of this street!"

Yan Ming and the others subconsciously looked around, seeing that all the neighbors were collectively shooting them "There’s always somebody thinking about Boss Huang" deathly stares, forcing them to offer an awkward yet polite smile in return.

"Just kidding, just kidding..."

As it was, the neighbors had no choice but to forgive them.

Yan Ming, thinking of going back home for the holidays in a couple of days and not being able to eat at Delicious Restaurant before the new semester, felt an indescribable sadness.

Lin Yuhan noticed his distraction and asked with concern, "Ming, what’s up with you?"

Yan Ming smiled bitterly, "Ah! Just thinking about going home and not being able to eat Boss Huang’s food makes me inexplicably sad."

Once mentioned, everyone suddenly felt that going home to reunite with family didn’t feel nice at all!

It inexplicably made them sad!

They really wanted to stay here forever and eat the food Boss Huang makes!

But of course.

Not going home is not an option; if they didn’t go back, their parents might come to fetch them, or if not, they might cut off their allowance...

Otherwise, wouldn’t they have to live on air?

It’s best to go home for the New Year first, make their parents happy, ask for a little more allowance, and then earn some lucky money themselves. After returning for the new semester, they can achieve the freedom of eating at Delicious Restaurant!

For now.

They could only seize the chance to eat as much as they could while still here!

After all, back home, all they could do was look at food pictures to crave!

These college students, filled with a bit of sadness, almost wanted to cover their food over the tops of their heads.

In less than ten minutes, they were stuffed and couldn’t sit up straight.

"I’ve decided, before going home, I want to eat at Boss Huang’s for every meal."

"I was thinking the same, whoever’s free can line up first for us, and the rest can follow for the food..."

"Yeah, let’s happily decide on that~"

...

At 7:30, the dinner service ended.

Huang Tao opened the computer to check the top-up situation.

Wow!

The number of top-ups reached 468.

The highest single top-up amount: 100,000 yuan.

A total of 20 transactions!

No need to ask, he knew it must be those rich second-generation and wealthy bosses topping up.

While top-ups of 1000 and 500 ranked second and third!

It seems these customers have a very high level of recognition for his little restaurant!
