I will need to hire people to make the dough, bake, and sell the pastry.
If Katsuko-nee opens up a second shop, then I’ll have twice the personnel.
No, we’ll need someone as our shop manager, replacing Katsuko-nee and me.
That’s true To be frank, if you found someone better than you in baking, then you should leave the work to him I get that
And that applies to vendors too.
Katsuko-nee and Nei, the beauties sell more compared to me.
Or should I say that it’s better if I don’t show up instead?
Even in our products, Ai makes less, but hers sell better than mine.
It’s possible that you still do bakery business, but you’re no longer the person in manufacturing and sales. Naturally, if you expand your business, there’s more work, but you don’t need to do it all Yeah, delivering the materials on each store, for example.
If we reached a large scale, then I don’t have to make any sales.
If we have a cafeteria and restaurants as our market, then there’s no need for me to deliver it.
Right. I thought that it might happen
These jobs don’t need it to be me specifically.
I don’t need to do everything that I can.
If that’s the case, then wouldn’t everything that you’ve learned about the bakery become useless?
Minaho-neesan asks.
I don’t think so. I believe that it’s all necessary experience. At least, I won’t be ignorant of what they do in the bakery
I replied.
Be it the wheat flour or yeast, I have the knowledge on who to get in touch, the amount to procure, and when the materials will deliver. That also applies in the procedure of making pastries. I know the labor cost of each item and the time it takes to make it. I also know what the reaction will be when they sell it. I have learned a lot I look at Kaan-san. It’s something you’ll never know from emails what?
Kaan-san looks at me blankly.
No, the view you see from the mail was a compilation of all the views on-site sent to you, right? Along with all the data
I start talking.
My bakery also has data recorded. Which ones did sell and which ones weren’t that popular
Katsuko-nee takes notes of which sold out the fastest.
We listen to our customers. Which do they like, what their thoughts with the new products and such
It’s not just Megu and I talking to friends; Katsuko-nee now speaks to the students with a bright atmosphere around her.
Kana-senpai is famous, it’s easy for her to grab people to answer a survey.
But those impressions are slightly off from reality, well, you know, people’s thoughts and speech are somewhat off from each other Off?
Kaan-san looks at me.
For example, those who replied, I like the new one, and in reality, the sales of the product isn’t that great. And someone can say that it’s not great, but it gets sold out fast, but it’s slightly slower than other famous products I said. Our bakery has cameras all over so I can see the hands of the customers while they pick which they would buy. Then, I see the customer thinking of which one to choose. They’re hesitating, and so they try out the product everyone says they like. And that spreads out. But, most of them come back to what they prefer. Seeing that made me understand what’s the problem Err. People’s thoughts have those moments where it just bursts with Huh? I’m taking lessons from Kudou arts so I can sense it recently, no, well, I’m still in 6th kyu, but when the person in front of me had their thought burst out, I can sense what they’re feeling Oh. I think that intuition is necessary. That makes it hard to understand if it’s just a compilation mail from a subordinate. You need to feel the customer, or should I say the person in front of you That’s right. Therefore, I believe that going on-site is essential. You need to feel the customers directly. Their thoughts and speech are slightly misaligned after all
Then.
i think the same way!
Kuromiya-san suddenly stood up and shouted.
I’m fond of martial arts, and so I believe that it’s necessary to be in front of the person!
No, look.
The scales have fallen off my eyes from that conversation, my heart is clear!
That’s not what I’m trying to say, but.
Now, do you understand why Grandfather was having that conversation with Danna-sama?
Misuzu speaks to Kaan-san.
Danna-sama is developing his management intuition
intuition?
Chapter 864. High Life I’m an idio
What do you mean by intuition?
Kaan-san asks in return.
It’s ‘inspiration. It’s much more precious than any economics theory or business knowledge
Misuzu replies.
What can develop the company for the better? What can do worse? Do you back off from the deal because it’s dangerous, or would you go sink or swim? In the end, it all depends on the manager’s inspiration Minaho-neesan tells Kaan-san. Then, that intuition is something you’ll acquire if you aren’t on-site to face people during the transactions. You can’t sharpen your own perception if you can’t sense what makes people’s thoughts burst. Even if you have superior management sense, if you’re far from the scene, then your intuition will dull. That’s crucial in business world Oh, I get that
I.
I bake pastries every day and sell them, and the customers’ reactions convey directly
Kaan-san looks at me.
Like, which products do the customers prefer and which ones they don’t like. Also, if there’s a product not loved, but a little bit of improvement will make it popular, and I can sense the minor details like that Also. When I started up my bakery, I had a bit of misunderstanding Misunderstanding?
Kaan-san repeats.
Yes. A misunderstanding. I purchase bread for my consumption, too, don’t I? So I thought that I knew what the customers want. Thinking that I’m also a customer So you looked from the perspective of the customer?
Kaan-san asks me.
No, it’s nothing that bothersome. Anyway, I just thought that I know it all. Even though I don’t know anything
I’m desperately trying to speak out my thoughts.
In reality, after I opened up my shop, everything I thought and expected was different
I’m just a first-year high-school student.
Therefore, I thought that if I make this, I’m sure everyone will like it. I made such plans.
But.
Those I expected to sell well weren’t that popular a tall. I was wrong. My expectations were different from reality Reality? That’s right. Different from what the customers really want. When I found that out, I adapted to reality and made products that will sell
I said. Kaan-san.
I wonder? Shouldn’t you persist with your preference instead? Sell what you think is delicious. Sooner or later, the buyers will understand your taste. It would be too late by then. My shop will close down. It can’t sustain as a business
I said.
Customers aren’t people you raise by yourself. Right now, the customers living in this moment are the people who buy my products. If I don’t keep them company, I won’t make money
I need to offer the students in school what they want to eat.
Well, in pastry, there are cases where the bread with slightly more yeast, or products that should taste better, but; But you shouldn’t think what I want to make and sell, but what the customers want to buy I said. Kaan-san. That differs from my thoughts. For me, the business needs to be my ideal. The idea of I want to make this, or I want to sell this is much more necessary. I want to spread out my sense and what I see as beautiful. Call it my ideal. I want the world to accept what I see as attractive if they look closely. That is why I want to start a business like that Oh, I see.
She.
I can understand your view, but.
Her business has nothing but herself.
Kaan-san’s business will never support your family Family?
