>>12

The more the shop I trained at is known as a famous establishment, the more I carried the weight of its reputation, both good and bad, in my business.

I will make it zero independently, and of course, the location is a cheap place in line with its current recognition, but I suppose doing it the same way wouldn’t work.

Stupid nameless Osugi!

I’m fed up with all the stupid stores that can’t even do things that are obvious with a little thought!

If I know such a ridiculous shop inside out, then that means I can run the best ramen shop!!!

>>10

This person understood this and still wasn’t successful, so that’s really impressive…

It may be said that not creating an escape route in the regular ramen menu was a failure on the part of the consultant.

>>15

Well, there are probably aspects I learned only after starting consulting…

There was indeed a ramen shop in the quiet residential area… and it closed down quickly.

The taste wasn’t bad, and there were customers on holidays, but it must have been difficult on weekdays.

>>11

I know a place that was always lined up because it was just too delicious.

The owner has changed, and a terrible kind of creative ramen is still hanging around.

Changing from Jiro-style

Stores that have made a big mistake in location selection or are careless even with the basics of CQC appear quite often in this manga.

>>19

What are you fighting against…?

>>75

Customer

>>22

If you don’t have the advantage of location, it makes sense not to start a business, but there are patterns where you just have to start moving forward…

Of course, it will burn.

>>32

Don’t start looking for land after quitting your job!

Many people just want to have fun with family and friends over snacks.

I don’t know who’s involved, but it seems like it doesn’t cost much to maintain, and it’s been going on for decades.

The manga that was like, “It’s impossible to do anything because of that thick pillar in the middle of the shop!” What was it again?

>>25

I don’t remember such a story in Hanchō.

I’ve seen an okonomiyaki restaurant opening in a quiet, rural residential area.

>>26

If it’s just being used as a hangout spot for the locals and the store can run like that, then there’s no problem…

If it’s a okonomiyaki restaurant where students and children can come to eat, then you don’t have to worry much about food waste.

What should I do in a place full of regulars?

Ramen shops are strong in the countryside.

No matter how many shops go out of business, this one is resilient.

>>30

Conversely, if you target a restaurant that has been established for a long time just across one road from the main street, it is usually very delicious.

When I watch the program “Paradise of Life,” I can understand that there are many people opening shops in places where no one is going to come.

After the Yutori edition ended, the ramen world in reality seems to have turned into a manga where many characters express the author’s thoughts, like a poison uncle, possibly due to a lack of ideas.

I like the episode where Gluta dresses up as a girl, but…

A store that just has a small, inconspicuous sign at the entrance, even though it’s located in a mixed-use building, might be one such example…

The building itself has just become a background for the people in the area, so let’s actively promote it!

Tatsuya and Harada’s shop are kind of like the foolish shops that Komiyama mentioned here…

>>37

The differences between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and the former having a mismatched menu that doesn’t suit the location.

There is a significant aspect that the latter menu matched the location and its customer base.

Tatsuya himself had been making excuses for a long time and made things more complicated…

I wonder how it is in terms of real estate for an unmatched customer base.

Which is better from the perspective of the one coordinating: businesses that keep collapsing and changing or those that carefully consider and continue?

There are certain locations that you only realize are cursed when you live there.

>>41

There are mysterious places where you can understand that there is a shop there and yet still overlook it, even though it’s on a main street.

I don’t know if the ramen shop is aiming for a line effect, but it’s a really cramped place that can only handle about five people.

I often see shops with long lines, but the number of customers they serve in a day isn’t that impressive.

Why hand-to-hand combat…?

>>44

You never know when someone like Takeda will come with a bunch of thugs to harass the store, so it’s important to have combat power…

>>60

Let’s call 110!

>>106

How much damage will occur before the police arrive? It would be a problem if it’s a draw even if the other party gets arrested!

It seems like a really good location right next to the university and by the T-junction.

I have a memory of wondering why restaurants keep opening and closing.

>>46

It was a high price setting for students.

Was it that there were no services like free refills or large portions that young people would be happy about?

>>50

If it’s just a gathering place pretending to be a shop, then I guess it can’t be helped.

Soba paste…

>>55

In the first place, it’s not something you would go out of your way to serve in a store…

When I was attending university long ago

A cheap croquette shop opened just zero minutes’ walk from the front of the university.

It didn’t last long.

>>57

At university, the cafeteria is good enough.

>>57

Is it that such a seemingly great location didn’t last long…?

Is it really that bad?

>>84

I don’t think there is a demand for a croquette specialty shop in the first place.

Prepared dishes from supermarkets and convenience stores are sufficient.

>>101

I thought, “If I can buy freshly fried croquettes on my way home from school, I definitely want to eat them!” but…

Thinking about it, that kind of vibe is probably only until middle school or high school…

But it’s strangely interesting that there are popular stores in locations you wouldn’t expect.

>>62

It’s not that it doesn’t exist, but that’s exactly why those kinds of things are rare.

Someone else may have foolish expectations and misjudge the timing of leaving the store or withdrawing.

I feel like it might be increasing the chances of selling ropes.

Conversely, there are Chinese restaurants that are located in a residential area but have survived for many years by becoming a fixture in the local infrastructure for the elderly neighbors.

It’s a store in my neighborhood.

I’m a little curious about the meddlesome soapland.

>>66

“Is it really okay to spend money in a place like this?”

“You need to stop playing around and get married. Do you have a wife?! Then I’ll call and let her know you’ll be late.”

That’s the selling point of meticulous service.

>>77

Hey, stop it.

Please make an exception for my own property because it is too strong of a card.

Despite having no complaints about the size of the parking lot and the store, a ramen shop was built right next to Marugen, failed, and then another chain store moved in. What is the intention behind that?

The way of speaking is harsh, but

Because the barriers to entry are low, it makes sense that the survival rate is also low…

>>69

Lowering the entry barriers will inevitably reduce the overall quality too…

There was a store that was very particular about its materials, but it was in a place that’s not even a high-end residential area, and it closed down quickly after all.

If you look at it objectively, that makes sense… but…

I feel like it’s quite difficult for a consultant at this level to not realize the lack of cohesion in their ramen for so long.

>>71

When it comes to something that belongs to me, I tend to look at it with biased eyes.

When correcting the issues, the parts that were full of advantages would fade and become ordinary, causing a double flaw that held it back.

There’s a subtly relocated shop about 100 meters away, but I wonder what it is.

>>48

When I see the long line at the kishimen shop on the shinkansen platform at Nagoya Station and the super fast turnover rate,

I guess it’s definitely not good to be kept waiting like this…

>>74

Well, it’s a place where the goal is to eat in the few minutes until the train arrives…

You can obtain the food sanitation manager certification in one day.

What on earth are you learning?

>>78

Food hygiene

>>90

Are you going to submit the stool sample?

In large companies, I don’t know if they are actually in the red, but there are points where they continue to operate even at a loss to prevent other chain stores from establishing in that area.

There’s a batting center in Kabukicho?

It sounds disjointed with just that.

It’s really long, isn’t it?

The frequently closing and reopening consignment stores.

It looks good at first glance, but could it be a cursed land clearly unsuitable for attracting customers?

I feel that a stylish bistro in the entertainment district could manage fairly well with the accompanying shifts from cabaret clubs.

Snake

Remember the basics of Q.S.C.

>>95

Okay

Quest

splatter (cruel)

crazy

It’s three!

The fried chicken shop has become a crepe shop and is now a cookie shop.

It’s in a place where no one is likely to buy it.

Forgive the incompetent cook.

Good land has already been bought by everyone.

The ramen shops in residential areas are subject to survival bias, but there are also many popular hit stores, so it’s hard to say anything definitive.

>>99

On the other hand, if there are many more shops going out of business, just because there are some big hit shops doesn’t mean that the probability of survival is high.

There are quite a few exclusive shops filled with regulars, but if they can keep going, isn’t that good for the shop?

>>100

Hehehe.

Fuhihihi

>>100

From a consulting perspective, it might not be appealing.

Because advice will have no relevance.

Isn’t it basic to use a store like your own home…?

In the past 10 years, stores like the trendy Mike O have appeared.

I have been seeing bubble tea, a fried chicken specialty shop, and a high-end bread shop one after another.

Let’s make sure to wash our hands properly and store food in the refrigerator; that’s the level of it.

>>105

I heard that you can take it if you’re not sleeping.

In the first place, Tatsuya is a dreamy bald man who quit his salaryman job to start his own business and ended up serving self-satisfied ramen that nearly killed him.

I think high-end stores within the train station will become popular because the access is incredibly good.

With that turnover rate, it seems like the rent for the space in the station won’t be covered.

I’ve seen a ramen shop operating on a mountain where houses are sparse, not to mention a simple residential area, back in my childhood.

I lived nearby but somehow it disappeared without me ever having gone there even once…

That’s precisely why

A consultant who breaks things down and teaches will thrive.

I’m grateful.

>>113

Well, hiring a consultant by shelling out a considerable amount of money means…

It means that you have a genuine desire to survive.

>>130

I understand.

The world is now about SDGs.

I don’t understand the nerve of someone who bets on the food and beverage industry after quitting their job with no safety net.

Are you crazy?

>>115

Because you underestimate self-employment.

>>115

Am I going crazy, boiled over with dreams, ambitions, confidence, and arrogance?

>>115

I think there are surprisingly many people who have a desire to own their own store.

>>138

The phrase “the lord of a single country and a single castle” has a sweet sound to it.

It’s impossible for you; not many people will fully accept that a life of being used by someone else is all you’re capable of.

>>115

It’s a choice that can only be made if you’re crazy.

Honestly, when it comes to dealing with students, it’s better to be bad but cheaper, even by one yen.

Even if it breaks the lower limit of bad taste, the price and quantity attract customers.

Those guys just eat on their own with just spices when they’re hungry.

>>118

I heard that Jiro was originally a ramen shop with that kind of concept.

I feel like a bistro in the entertainment district might have some demand.

>>120

It may be possible to find a way out by considering the working hours of sex workers in the business hours and menu.

It may not exist.

>>152

It exists as a regular companion service establishment.

There was a salad specialty store in my hometown that sold by the gram at department store basement prices… It didn’t last even six months.

I bought it when it first opened, but the shrimp salad was 700 yen for 200g.

Will a restaurant that caters to the closing times of sex workers not become popular?

Is it no good since everyone is getting a ride by car?

>>122

First, I suppose we should start by looking for whether there are many successful patterns.

>>137

Indeed…

>>137

The work hours of the girls vary for each person, right…?

>>122

In the past, it seems there were shops in Kyoto where the Gion sisters would come to eat during their breaks.

It’s a residential area around here, but…

Every time, there seems to be a bar-like place called ○○ where the information on the whiteboard changes.

Consultants are often disliked, but

If there are many people who can’t even do the basics, then there might be a need for someone to guide them in that.

>>124

The problem is that there are plenty of people in consulting who can’t even do the bare minimum because they just sprouted up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

>>124

The shop owner aiming for a hidden gem is concerned about the lack of customers, and when a consultant listens to their concerns…

Because there was no sign for the shop that wasn’t advertising, I couldn’t tell what they were doing from the outside.

If you want people to come, advertise, put up a sign, and show what’s inside.

I heard that the hidden gem of a shop is being advertised in magazines and on TV.

I’m glad there’s a local izakaya that has been around for a long time!

A ramen shop where the noodles don’t stick to the soup at all, huh?

It’s not a restaurant, but what exactly is that grocery store that sometimes sits in prime locations?

>>128

Maybe they just didn’t sell it because they originally lived there…

Running a business in a residential area seems difficult.

There are actually stores that operate with just a loyal customer base in the neighborhood, without having to worry about rent because they own their property.

Restaurants won’t easily go out of business if they offer delivery.

>>133

First of all, being able to deliver is a different stage…

They say you can understand it after reading dozens of books.

If I could buy that time with money, it would be helpful.

If you work part-time in the food and beverage industry even once, you won’t choose to leave your office job for food and beverage work…

When I was a university student, a diner opened near the university, and I went there several times.

It felt like something a completely ordinary neighborhood aunt would do, but I was surprised that it’s still being done now.

If it matches well, it continues.

>>144

Ordinary set meal restaurants are in high demand because they become single people’s dinner options.

Especially near the university, the faculty and staff.

>>154

I see, that’s the kind of demand…

I used to go to a store that was cheap and had large portions many times during my student days.

The taste was quite ordinary, but I guess it depends on the location for places like that.

In reality, there are quite a few stores that open casually and close just as casually…

I can only do what I’ve been taught.

Did you allow them to become independent at the training place?

I didn’t know such a store exists.

The butcher was selling croquettes made out of leftover meat, and they were selling reasonably well.

I dreamed of being like the Gourmet of Solitude, so I tried exploring various hidden gems during my business trips, but…

Many local individual shops were really closed off and popular only among a small group of friends, seemingly not welcoming new customers.

Even if it’s an old-fashioned café that is community-oriented, I still feel a strong sense of being out of place, even in relatively newer shops.

I can handle bald croquettes.

There is a dimly lit curry shop run by a suspicious Nepali in the residential area where many families live.

Of course, it went out of business, but it became a curry shop again, went out of business, and then became a curry shop again.

“Just give up already!” I’m thinking to myself.

>>158

I wonder if it’s being used for something related to messing around with work visas.

Can we do it if we get funded several million?

>>161

I’ll do it with debt from now on.

There are patterns where ramen shops become popular in residential areas, but I occasionally see examples where they end up causing issues with nearby residents.

>>162

Making soup is probably going to smell.

Also, insects and rats.

>>162

It’s the smell and the line.

There was an issue with a certain Jiro-style restaurant regarding the line.

Independent restaurants are already in very hard mode, right?

If the rising costs of ingredients are reflected in prices, all customers below middle class will go to chain restaurants.

Before quitting your salaryman job to start in the food business.

It would be nice to have a little experience like Fujimoto-kun.

This store has a proven track record of success in this area!

Sometimes, hamburger shops and convenience stores can become densely clustered, even those that belong to the same company.

The super delicious high-end soba shop on the station platform has the best location, so I think there is demand for it.

Are you going to stop by on your way back?

It’s funny to think it’s someone who went out of business saying that.

Battling just with soba dumplings is simply too much…

If Jiro opens near the residential area

The line has bad manners, and they park their cars at unrelated stores.

Was there a store that closed every time it received a complaint?

It has to be as good as the croquettes from the butcher shop.

To establish a specialty, the unit price needs to be…

The stores for sex workers are always filled with troublesome customers like stalkers and those who expose the workers’ faces, and it’s overwhelming.

Why is Oslo so popular…?

There was a ramen shop that closed in less than a year, even though it was in a prime location in front of a station in the city.

If it’s a place where you can eat a lot for cheap.

This also has its own demand!

If a home-style ramen shop hadn’t opened on the first floor of the building, I wouldn’t have had to hear that kind old man’s voice saying, “It stinks too much, I’ll kill you.”

It is also a position from which I can say it precisely because I have failed.

The reason this person failed is not the location but the taste.

I wondered if it would be okay when I opened a muffin shop run by a seemingly refined lady, but it seemed to be popular among the ladies and families.

So it was suited for the customer base.
