销售与管理视频号开通啦 欢迎关注并留下您睿智犀利的评论吧 ----------------------------------------- - - 作者： 智先生 来源：智先生（ID：zhixs10） 要说2024年有什么天坑行业排行的话，餐饮业估计能名列前茅。 很多地区的"排队王"都陷入了摆烂的局面，客流量肉眼可见变得稀疏起来，预订率下降，导致营业额也大幅缩水。 有餐饮人在网上自嘲， "开店时身上有二十多万，关店时能去到四十多万，可惜是负债"。 数据是最直观的。 哪怕它们纾尊降贵，推出298、398的"平民套餐"，也依然挡不住大规模关停潮来袭，因为老百姓对米其林评价已经祛魅。 当行业环境不济时，大部分企业首先会考虑加入红海战场，开卷价格大战，虽然"以价换量"不是什么新鲜把戏了，但胜在有用。 一部分餐饮头部借此实现了逆增长，比如像海底捞，萨莉亚、瑞幸咖啡、百胜中国等佼佼者。 不过仔细翻看各上市公司的财报，可以发现一点，能实现同比增长的寥寥无几， 与其说逆增长，不如说维持营收平衡更贴切 。 根据国家统计局数据，今年1-8月份，餐饮收入34998亿元，同比增长6.6%，从大盘来看，还算可以，最起码像房地产、家装 ...

遍布全国的咖啡零售网络正在成型。 随着咖啡越来越成为中国居民的消费日常，咖啡市场的竞争也正在步入一个新阶段：头部品牌加速跑马圈 地、争抢点位不断拓店；价格战越打越热，主流竞争价位下探到 10-15 元。 内卷加速的竞争红海里，瑞幸始终保持了增长态势。 从咖啡的消费场景来看，瑞幸以到店自提和外带居多；而瑞幸大量的点位通常以写字楼、商圈、社区等人 流密集的地方为主，不一定在非常显眼的位置，但却能够覆盖周边的外卖和自提需求，为用户营造一种 "人在哪里，咖啡店就在哪里" 的便于购买的消费环境。 门店网络持续扩张，背后依托的是瑞幸的数字化能力。这让瑞幸能以极低单店成本逆势跑出规模加速度， 反过来摊薄门店成本，实现每一杯咖啡的极致性价比。 优衣库也有类似的做法，将线上线下打通之后，线下门店也成了线上销售的提货点。优衣库在中国线上销 售约占区域营收的四分之一，是全球范围内线上成交占比最大的市场。优衣库希望通过将顾客从门店引导 至电商，再从电商引导至门店，帮助扩大整体销售额。 瑞幸咖啡 CEO 郭谨一曾多次说，数字化能力是瑞幸的核心优势之一，也是瑞幸与传统餐饮企业最显著的 区别。有了后端的数字化系统作为依托，瑞幸的门店也是一 ...
