From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket Chapter 217 - 165: Takeout Box

"So, just now, in the kitchen, I talked with the manager of our store, thinking to ask you where these plastic takeout boxes are from."

"If possible, could you give us a contact? We’d like to order a batch."

Jiang Xin was originally in a state of complete confusion, not understanding at all why the store employee stopped her.

As a result, now, after hearing the employee’s explanation, she instantly understood.

It turned out that the staff, after discussing with their manager, felt that her takeout boxes looked more appealing when holding food, so they wanted to ask her where to buy these boxes, hoping to get a contact to place an order for a batch later on.

That way, if other custors wanted to take the food ho, they could use these boxes.

Their establishnt could instantly upgrade its image.

Jiang Xin’s eyes lit up imdiately; wasn’t this a business opportunity just handed to her?

Although this order might not make much money, considering the high custor flow at the State-owned Restaurant, they would need a lot of boxes.

Jiang Xin thought for a mont. After all, she had every type of disposable al box imaginable in her space. If the State-owned Restaurant wanted to purchase a batch, she should take out all the styles from her space to let their manager choose which one suits them best.

Then, they could price them based on the type of al box.

So, Jiang Xin began to speak:

"You want to know where I got these takeout boxes from?"

"I got these from a distant relative who runs a plastic factory in another place, quite far from our town. If you need them, I can contact her to send over a few samples for you to choose from."

"These al boxes co in all sizes. If you’re really interested, I’ll see if I can bring the samples tomorrow for you to have a look at."

Upon hearing this, the staff mber nodded repeatedly. Actually, he had just shown these takeout boxes to their manager in the kitchen.

After seeing them, their manager thought they were great and imdiately wanted to co out to ask. She wanted to personally co over, but given the busy alti rush, she couldn’t spare the ti, so she sent him to ask Jiang Xin instead.

After all, the manager is the real decision-maker who needs to personally make all the decisions in their store.

But at this mont, the manager truly had no ti. Since they were just asking for contact information, the staff thought it was sothing he could handle.

So, this server volunteered to ask Jiang Xin, wanting to know where she got her disposable takeout boxes, so they could buy so if they found them affordable.

Anyway, they’d just try a small batch first, and if it worked out, they’d order more.

After Jiang Xin spoke, the server’s eyes brightened imdiately, hearing that Jiang Xin could bring samples tomorrow. He quickly agreed:

"Great, great, thank you so much."

"We just don’t know about the pricing of these al boxes. If it’s feasible, our store could order a larger quantity."

"Anyway, since we’re in the food business, there are plenty of places to use these takeout boxes, and the portions of each dish differ greatly, so we actually need several different sizes."

After all, so dishes co in large portions while others are smaller. If a small portion is packed in a particularly large box, it doesn’t match well.

Moreover, if custors ask later, it would be hard for them to explain why there’s only a little bit of food.

Also, if there’s too little food in a large takeout box, it doesn’t look good, and it seems too little, which might make custors unhappy, thinking the store is stingy and holding back ingredients.
