Is Baby Café, an Angelababy-themed coffee and Western restaurant worth visiting?
The celebrity industry is glamorous and makes money very quickly. Many celebrities are very business-savvy. They are not satisfied with the current income and invest part of the money they earn. Some celebrities start to invest. Companies have opened studios. Yang Mi and Ruby Lin have gained a lot from opening studios. Some celebrities have invested in opening stores, such as the hot pot restaurant jointly opened by Ren Quan and Li Bingbing. It has dozens of branches across the country and the business is booming. There are also Xue Zhiqian before The Taobao store I opened has millions of sales every month.
And Angelababy obviously followed this trend. In 2010, the baby filmed "Love in the City". There was a cafe in the movie called "baby cafe", which happened to contain her name, so After the movie became a hit, Angelababy and director Chen Guohui took advantage of the situation and opened a cafe named "baby cafe" in Hong Kong, hoping to use the popularity of the movie to boost business.
Business was really booming at the beginning, and celebrities and entertainers in the circle came to support it. Later, angelababy opened four branches in Hong Kong, namely in Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, Tuen Mun and Tsim Sha Tsui mainly sells coffee, French and Western food, Japanese food, etc. The decoration features are based on the star effect of babies to drive the operation of the store. Many portraits of babies are posted in the interior decoration, and the promotion is not shy. Do publicity in the baby's name.
But the good times did not last long. Soon, the business of these stores became bleak. No matter how big the discounts were, they still could not regain the lost customers, so the final result could only be It ended with closure. Although it was rumored on the Internet that the store was closed because the baby was busy with performances and could not take care of the store's business, but more people think that is not the case. Since Angelababy opened the store, many fans from Hong Kong have come to support it. However, due to the price, fans often stop visiting again. Some fans bluntly said: "I never dare to eat there again." In Hong Kong, every inch of land is precious. In a prime location, the rent is very expensive and the cost of goods is also high. If the price of the dishes is set too low, there will be no profit. Therefore, in order to ensure the operation of the cafe, the price of the dishes itself can only be increased. At that time, Chen He wanted to provide She ordered some Japanese food and it cost 3,000 RMB. A steak was 588 RMB, which most people cannot afford.
Not only that, but some customers also revealed that the food in Angelababy’s coffee shop tastes very average and has nothing unique about it. Not only are the ingredients not fresh, but they are not handled carefully, so they just eat them. Come on, it can be considered a somewhat famous store after all! However, there was still sand in the flower armor that had not been cleaned out, which disappointed the customers. From this, it can be seen that it was only a matter of time before the store closed down.
The competition in the catering industry is too fierce now, and it is still not suitable for babies to work hard in the catering industry. If you want to get a good reputation and have a steady stream of repeat customers, it is not as easy as just talking, but you have to work hard. It’s a lot of hard work, just like acting. If you don’t learn, you will never learn how to act.
