I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

"Attorney Huo, what if I clearly state in advance that customers must draw lots to enter the store, and they can eat whatever they draw? Those who don't want to can choose not to enter, and there's no coercion? Wouldn't that work?" Li Zhibai was still unwilling to give up and asked again.

"No way!" Attorney Huo shook his head and said, "This is an unfair contract term. Even if you publicize it, it's invalid. Article 26 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law clearly stipulates that businesses may not use standard clauses or other means to exclude or restrict consumer rights. Making people give up their right to choose before entering the store is legally untenable. Like I said, this lottery machine can only be used as a number-giving machine at most. It's fine for taking a number to eat, but it's absolutely unacceptable to use it to decide the menu."

Li Zhibai was completely disheartened. He quickly took out his phone and opened a shopping app to see if the lottery machine could be returned within seven days without giving a reason. After all, he had spent nearly two or three thousand yuan on it, and if he couldn't return it, he would really lose a lot of money.

Seeing that he was checking his phone to see if he could return the goods, Huo Junmin didn't bother him anymore and turned around to go into the store to order food.

"Attorney Huo, please wait a moment." Li Zhibai suddenly called out to her again.

"What's wrong?" Attorney Huo asked, turning around.

"Here's the thing, I suddenly thought of another activity. Could you give me your opinion and see if it's still illegal?"

Huo Junmin: "..."

No, how can you be so obsessed with ripping off tourists?

She just rejected his lottery plan, and he immediately came up with a new idea. Is he determined to rip off customers?

"Tell me, what kind of event are you planning this time?"

"Attorney Huo, my new proposal is as follows: As you all know, my store has always limited the number of customers to 50. Starting today, I plan to be more generous and add 10 more slots for our valued members."

Huo Junmin was somewhat surprised to hear this. Had the sun risen in the west? He actually took the initiative to empower the membership card.

If what he said is true, then wouldn't the so-called Shaxian Diamond VIP he gave her finally have some practical value, instead of just being a collectible?

Li Zhibai then shared his thoughts. Although he had previously mentioned that the first 60 customers would receive a 5 yuan discount coupon, he had never told outsiders that the restaurant's limit on the number of customers had increased from 50 to 60.

He originally planned to announce the addition of 10 slots at the opening today to make everyone happy, but now that the lottery machine is unusable, shouldn't these 10 slots be used in a different way?

The original purpose of the lottery machine was to increase the average transaction value within a limited number of daily customers. Since this approach is no longer viable, let's change our thinking and make use of these 10 additional consumption slots to give Diamond VIPs real "privileges".

However, this "privilege" will take a toll on Mane.

Li Zhibai's idea is simple: the person who spends the most money each day can get a reservation for a table. This reservation is valid for 10 days only, which means you don't have to worry about not being able to eat at the restaurant for the next 10 days. A dining spot has been reserved for you in advance.

As for why he set a 10-day validity period, it's for two reasons: first, to stimulate consumption frequency—if you don't use it within 10 days, it expires, so you'll have to come back to eat quickly; second, to prevent multiple members from vying for the same spot, because he releases a maximum of 10 spots for members to reserve each day, and if more than 10 members reserve the same spot on the same day, it would cause chaos.

He definitely wouldn't change the original 50 slots; he had to give ordinary customers in line a chance.

Therefore, the 10-day limit is just right. If the 10 slots are not reserved on the same day, they can be released to regular customers in line, maximizing sales and making the most of the available time.

After listening, Huo Junmin began to think about it seriously.

This plan does seem to have no mandatory provisions. Consumption is voluntary for customers. If you want to reserve a spot, you need to spend more. It is a two-way choice between merchants and customers and does not involve forced transactions.

Moreover, these 10 slots are additional, not taken from the original 50 slots, so they do not infringe on the rights of customers who will normally queue for a table. Customers can choose to queue normally or obtain additional reservation rights through high spending, which is perfectly reasonable.

"I haven't noticed any problems with this plan yet."

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Li Zhibai asked again to confirm.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

"As long as you disclose the information publicly and distribute the products fairly and justly, and consumers participate voluntarily with full knowledge of the information, then there is no problem."

Upon hearing her words, Li Zhibai's ruthless businessman smile reappeared on his face.

Ah, that's more like it!

All roads lead to a rich man's wallet. If one road is blocked, he'll find another. He refuses to believe that with his genius-level brain, he can't come up with a way to legally rip off customers and increase the average order value in the long run.

Seeing his smug look, Huo Junmin truly admired him from the bottom of her heart.

How does this guy's brain work?

She had just rejected one of his lottery schemes, and he immediately came up with a completely new, ridiculously expensive scheme that even she couldn't find fault with.

Moreover, this scheme is even more ruthless than the lottery system in the long run.

The purpose of the lottery system is actually to force customers to order expensive dishes. This "premium reservation right" directly ties the amount of consumption to the limited number of slots, forcing customers to compete with each other.

Want to make a reservation? Sure, then spend more and try to become today's top spender, securing a dining spot for the next 10 days in advance.

Especially when business is booming and there are more and more customers, the value of this reservation will increase infinitely. Wealthy people may even order a lot of food and spend recklessly just to have a meal.

At that point, the fight for the top spot on the leaderboard might escalate to the heavens.

Huo Junmin couldn't help but ask him a question: "Boss Li, have you ever considered changing careers?"

"Change careers? Why would you want to change careers?" Li Zhibai asked, puzzled.

"You should switch to marketing. You should really consider starting a marketing company. With your talent, you might make more money than running a Shaxian snack shop."

Li Zhibai immediately shook his head: "That won't do. Although I am very smart, handsome, charming, and have a good business sense... I still prefer to earn money through my own hard work. That's what gives me a sense of accomplishment."

Huo Junmin: "..."

Looking at the young man in front of her, she genuinely felt that he was one of the few truly pure people she knew.

He was just pure black.
