像上工一样吃饭、像考试一样洗手,寿司郎的效率秘密丨晚点周末

被看不见的 "生产节拍" 掌控一切的餐厅工厂。 文 丨 赵梓昕 制图 丨 黄帧昕 编辑 丨 王姗姗 在寿司郎门店做了几个月兼职后,李伦告诉自己 "这段体验可以结束了"。他曾开过四家日料店,到寿 司郎求职是抱着一种学艺的态度,想了解日式餐饮的精细化管理,结果这份工作给他上的第一课竟然 是关于如何洗手。 每次洗手要严格遵循所谓 "十步洗手法":跟随节拍完成每一个揉搓、冲洗步骤,过程要持续至少 2 分 钟,身边还要有一位洗手监督员陪同。门店每月会更新一批 "有资格自己洗手" 的名单,员工需要通过 考核才能入选,一旦监控发现不规范操作,资格立即取消。 "变态的严苛,我只能这么形容。每隔两小时,店内就会响起广播,提示进入集中清洁时间。" 李伦不 喜欢寿司郎的工作文化,觉得同事们每天戴着帽子口罩各自忙碌,工作中的交流冰冷生硬,每个人 "像一个机器一样"。 在寿司郎吃饭的体验,也如同进入一条运转良好的工厂流水线:从被领至座位、面对一块 1.5 米宽的 大屏幕上的虚拟寿司回转带开始点餐起,每一个动作都已被精确地嵌进了既定节拍里——点餐、出 餐、进食、抽奖、买单——你并不会被催促,却不自觉地一直被系统推着向前。 近期,我们访谈 ...
零售的另一种答案:沃集鲜的 “配料表革命”

陪我们一起巡店的祝骏随机打开一款标价 169 元的沃集鲜坚果礼盒介绍说,这款商品的开发在 2025 年 4 月就启动了,内部的五罐坚果是从越南原装进口,礼盒则是他带领的沃尔玛采销团队负责设计、 在国内另找供应商完成制造。 春节礼盒很容易被做成表面功夫,包装做得又大又喜庆,里面装什么反而成了次要问题。但祝骏指着 礼盒包装说,从设计环节就确定了 "开口式包装",这能让顾客看见里面的果仁到底长什么样,虽然开 口包装容易压碎果仁,为了解决这个问题团队做了大量结构与内托的打磨。 祝骏是现任沃尔玛中国高级副总裁兼沃尔玛业态首席采购官。沃尔玛全渠道中的每一款商品,都是由 他负责终审把关。在店里随便拎出任何一款沃尔玛自有品牌 "沃集鲜" 的商品,祝骏都能滔滔不绝地讲 出它背后的开发故事。 在中国零售业竞争白炽化的这些年,几乎所有玩家都在押注自有品牌,路径也越来越趋同:找代工厂 贴牌,换个包装,压低价格做 "平替"。在这种低价内卷里,商品很容易失去灵魂:它们看起来差不 多,吃起来也差不多,最终只剩下便宜这一个标签。 当零售自有品牌被认为 "越来越像流量生意" 时,沃尔玛却回归到了 "顾客第一" 的战略原点,在看似 最不起眼的地 ...
