Pay first, then eat, or eat first, then pay?

Today we are going to talk about a very interesting topic: in our daily life, each of us will eat. But have you ever found such an interesting phenomenon-sometimes we pay before eating, and sometimes we eat before paying. Why are these two different situations? Let's talk about the reasons for the formation of these two dining modes or what are the characteristics of different dining modes.

1. Dining places are different: fast food restaurants and restaurants with rich dishes.

Generally speaking, fast food restaurants, cafeterias and canteens all pay the bill before eating, or food stores that only sell single items, such as cake shops and cake shops. Generally, the formal restaurants that eat first and then pay the bill are rich in food, such as Chinese restaurants, hot pot restaurants, barbecue shops, western restaurants and so on. Don't ask me why I say that. If you think about your dining experience carefully, you will have a personal feeling. That's the truth. Is it true?

2. The market route is different: increase the seat change rate and catch up with the order quantity.

Because different types of restaurants have different market routes, they will adopt different dining modes. Restaurants that pay the bill first and then eat are generally low-cost restaurants with low investment and low vegetable prices. Consumers are generally single consumers, and the passenger flow is relatively large, the dining time is short, the space of the restaurant is relatively small, and the environment is also very general. In order to improve the seat change rate, sellers adopt the mode of paying the bill first and then eating.

The restaurant that eats first and pays later takes another market route. This kind of restaurant is generally a medium-sized or large-sized restaurant, with large investment, rich and comprehensive dishes and relatively expensive dining price. The final settlement is generally calculated at 100 yuan. Consumers are generally in groups, and will have meals with family members, relatives and friends, classmates or colleagues, and there are more people eating. When ordering food, it is not a one-time order, but with the passage of meal time, diners will increase the consumption of dishes from time to time. Therefore, the method of eating first and finally settling accounts at one time is adopted.

3. Different regulatory costs: possible evasion and no need for over-regulation.

In addition to the above two reasons, there are also different regulatory costs faced by these two restaurants with different dining patterns. If fast food restaurants adopt the mode of eating first and paying later, it will reduce the operating efficiency and spend a lot of extra time to operate. Moreover, due to the large flow of people, there may be evasion of tickets. Therefore, adopting the mode of paying first and then dining can not only improve efficiency, but also avoid unnecessary economic losses caused by ticket evasion.

In restaurants that pay after eating first, the settlement of consumers is based on tables, and the number of tables in restaurants is limited. In addition, there are many waiters in the restaurant, so don't be afraid of them escaping. Restaurants don't need to spend too much energy monitoring customers' bills.
