Chapter 321 – #71_Gehenna’s Host Bar (4)
#319
One.
He is now a periwinkle who has retired from management and wanders around leisurely, but at one time he said he ran the hotel himself.
However, even she knew little about host bars, so Takasho first explained the basic profit structure of host bars.
Entrance fee is calculated from the moment you basically enter.
At this cost, a bottle of champagne is laid out with simple snacks and wine, including cheese and jamon, as a base.
“It’s like grabbing a table at a club.”
“Yes, it is. In addition, a total of three levels of entrance fees were set, and the champagne that was paid was discriminated against.”
“The cheapest is Dom Perignon Blanc, next is Rosé 2000, next is 1995 vintage?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm…. OK, go ahead.”
The witch then nominates a host to take her place.
There is no separate nomination fee, and the host provides a variety of entertainment to the witch by playing tricks.
Drinking together or having a conversation.
“Are you going to work in one word?”
“It’s not just work. We put the joy of the witches first and make you feel the itch that you didn’t normally feel.”
If the witch doesn’t have a specific name or is a new customer, the hosts rotate for about 15 minutes.
“Like trying on a perfume in a perfume shop, you show her face which host you like the most.”
“By doing that?”
“The witch-sama, who is having enough fun, presents a high-quality drink for the present host.”
Additional revenue is generated when witches order premium liquor from her shop.
“It is the most ideal income to receive alcohol as a gift from a witch like this.”
“It’s pretty much what I knew. And?”
“If you really like it, grab an after or go for a second round. In this case, a small amount of travel expenses must be paid to the store, and if tips or other gifts occur, 30% of the business and the host take the remaining 70%.”
In other words, the profit structure of this host bar is.
Entrance fee + alcohol ordered separately by the witch + travel expenses + tip 30%.
Periwinkle listened to Takasho’s explanation and crossed his arms.
It’s because it’s her story that she’s heard so much about her Shiuya Takasho, but it seems she needs to organize her own thoughts.
“One hundred words is not enough. Shall we try it first?”
Again, Periwinkle.
Takasho was not at all taken aback by her bold declaration that he would try running himself, and bowed her head respectfully.
“Then, I will serve you with the best service.”
“No, do it as usual, as usual. I need to find out more about how it feels.”
“Yes, then….”
– Right!
As Takasho flicked her fingertips, five handsome boys walked in.
2.
After about an hour.
Periwinkle, who became the first guest, chatted with the hosts quite happily and shared a drink.
Siwoo becomes a borrowed barley sack and watches over Periwinkle and the hosts.
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
First of all, everyone has a good-looking face.
The man was well dressed in a suit, and traces of training could be seen in the mastery of the hosts who served customers with restrained movements.
Fully aware that the opponent is a witch, not an ordinary woman, and be gentle and not frivolous.
It creates an atmosphere as if being hunted in a salon.
Of course, one or two people made minor mistakes as if they were nervous, but it was enough for Periwinkle to smile and laugh.
“Okay, that’s it.”
“It was a good time. Witch. Please look for that Paul next time.”
Finally Paul, like a man proposing to him, gets down on one knee, kisses the back of his hand, and leaves.
The tasting of the host bar of Smiley Periwinkle is over.
As soon as Paul leaves, Periwinkle glances at Siwoo and smiles.
“What do you think? The way I talk to other men?”
Somehow, I thought it was unusually round and round.
Was it a strategy to induce jealousy?
Siu accepted it calmly.
“I feel like my heart is about to sizzle with jealousy.”
“This~ is a lie~”
Unlike Periwinkle, who was leisurely filming a conte, Takasho’s face was stiff with tension.
He is wiping sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief like a chef whose food he has prepared through training and preparation so far is evaluated.
Takasho asked cautiously.
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Yeah, but I don’t think I’ll be back.”
Peri Winkle, who was caressing his chin, drove his fastball so that even Siwoo was startled.
To the extent that even the calm and weak Takasho failed to manage his expression for a moment.
“Well then… Oh, good sense.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
Periwinkle put a cigarette in her mouth. At that moment, Takasho quickly rushed in and lighted it carefully.
How can such a thing be possible even when it is white?
Indeed, Takasho is a pro.
Siu admired inwardly.
“Let’s go over each one. First of all, I have a rough idea of what the intent of this host bar is. Sounds that cannot be felt in ‘Hydrangea Garden’ or Changgwan… What can I say? That middle feeling?”
“You are correct.”
They are treated with utmost sincerity, but the conversation comes and goes from an equal position to some extent.
“I think the selling point itself was great. They are very well-educated cuties, and there are witches who actually want such a drinking party, so there will be no lack of demand. It’s novel, and if it’s this level of freshness and lightness, witches who aren’t normally interested in men would probably stop by out of curiosity.
I felt it earlier, but the interior is also quite sensible.
Gehenna-like moderately antique and modern sophistication are mixed without a sense of incongruity, so it is not loud and calm. As far as the store atmosphere is concerned, it will never lose to the nearby bar.”
“Thank you!”
Peri Winkle went on, looking through the ledgers scattered on the table one by one.
The positive reviews made Takasho’s face slightly reddened.
“Now, shall we see this first?”
Periwinkle, who had collected the necessary data like a ghost among the thick stacks of paper, held up the customer list.
“Didn’t there be at least a few people at the beginning of the business?”
“Yes, I even invited a witch I had a relationship with…. There were also people who stopped by because they were curious about the opening of a new store.”
During the first week of the temporary opening, 50 witches came and went.
Considering the size of the store, it was not enough, but it was not a small number.
“So how many did you find again?”
“… There are three of you.”
“Shall I guess? Are there three witches you personally invited because they have a relationship with you?”
“Yes.”
Siu could also recognize him.
Among the many customers, the witches who continued to visit the store were all professors at Trinity Academy.
In other words, it means that I found it with affection, but I did not feel a big merit in the store itself.
“Don’t you think it’s a problem? What do you think it is for?”
“…….”
Takasho was speechless for the first time.
Siwoo, who had been listening quietly by the side, also had no sense of it at all.
It’s a business that’s likely to be in demand, he said.
Said the service was ok.
But there are no returning customers looking for it again?
It means that there is something fundamentally wrong.
“To me who is lacking! Teach me!”
Takasho showed off a beautiful angle and cast Togeza.
He was an impeccable doggeja that Siwoo admired the other day.
“Come over here and sit down. Because I’m Siwoo’s friend, are you looking at me prettily?”
“I will keep that in mind!”
Takasho walked over and sat down in front of Periwinkle with eyes burning with strange heat.
“One of the biggest problems.”
She raised one of her slender fingers and began to point out the problem she had analyzed.
“It’s a structure that subtly scratches the witch’s arrogance. It doesn’t mean good. It means to scrape and make a crust.”
“What do you mean by that… ?”
“First of all, it’s claiming to be a high-end entertainment facility, right? So, instead of Taro Town, they set up a shop in Malkuth Gallery.”
“That’s right.”
Periwinkle tastefully sucked the cigarette and put the other half in Siu’s mouth.
Then, tilting her upper body forward, she continued her detailed explanation.
“Now, I am witch A who came to the host bar for the first time. My body is also sluggish and researching magic is not fun, so my body is twisted, but a unique bar has been built. But I heard that the bar is a high-end bar where you can drink while receiving hospitality from handsome men.”
Takasho took out her notebook and pen and took her notes, listening to her.
“But what? As soon as you enter the entrance, 12 people greet you loudly. That’s what you think in that moment. ‘This is a high-end bar… ?’.
So, as soon as you are guided to your seat in a relaxed mood, they guide you to the entrance fee? Why do you tell me in advance if you don’t pay roughly?
By the way, there are 3 types of admission fee. I came here to be treated, but the store is trying to divide my class from the beginning? Dare? This body that personally visited you even during your spare time?”
“Ah….”
“Yeah, aside from that, let’s look at the price. 3 lbs, 5 lbs, 8 lbs….
Is the anger that was buried earlier welling up again?
Just because of this small amount of money, you explain to me the price structure of the admission fee and how the alcohol changes accordingly, and then tell me to order it according to your taste?”
Takasho opened her mouth more and more at Peri Winkle’s words.
Of course, there was no such intention in the entrance fee divided into three levels.
It was to attract as many customers as possible by breaking down the basic cost.
To that end, the cheapest admission fee of 3 pounds (approximately 2.52 million won) left little margin.
To be honest, I didn’t even expect Siwoo to think like that from a witch’s point of view.
“Besides, the alcohol served like that is not high-end, but entry-level, ambiguous. I have a question for you. Why on earth is champagne Dom Perignon? There are plenty of better ones.”
Periwinkle’s harsh criticism and Takasho, who was pierced in an unexpected place, replied in a sweat.
“Eh, now that’s also the symbol of the host bar… If you go beyond that, it will probably be too expensive… The more expensive liquor is for gifts and events….”
“That’s the wrong second.”
Periwinkle extended his second finger.
“This store doesn’t understand the heart of rich people at all. Why are you trying to get a witch of an obscure class while even setting up a shop in the Malkuth Gallery?”
“A witch of an ambiguous class. I thought so….”
“Attracting as many customers as possible? OK, that’s a very good idea. It’s best if the business you run is as large as a hotel, and the capacity is large enough that the quality varies from floor to floor. But isn’t it?”
Periwinkle’s apnea dealing was so damaging to Siwoo, who was watching from the sidelines.
“Considering the size of the store, the customer you need to catch isn’t a witch who comes and takes a seat and just scrapes the ticket. The big hand, that is, the VVIP. It’s better to catch one sure person than to sit down with 10 goofballs.”
“Is that so?”
“The rich don’t want rational consumption. Even if you spend a little money, you want to be confirmed that you are special than anyone else. How is it? Would you like some more help?”
Am I cool? Periwinkle secretly looking at Siwoo with the eyes of ‘ and Siwoo admiring him from the bottom of his heart.
Even Siwoo, who invited her, did not expect to find her problem so quickly.
“Please, please!”
“So~ you want to start with a nice glass of champagne?”
“I’ll be coloneled immediately!”
Periwinkle’s alley host bar consulting has just begun.
