Benji's Note: Best Practice Thai Restaurant Business in California For Dummies
From my experienced, I saw only one Thai restaurant in orange county, added Tom Kha Gai and Tom Yum Gai with lunch special. Crowd lined up just for a small soup bowl of the day with lunch special.
Also, this restaurant use the same theme for Thai soup lovers, serve with a Thai hot pot tom yum serving bowl at a price lower than $10, which fit all budget family, for 2-3 small soup bowl serving. Instead of use the regular serving bowl. Most customers love and crazy about it. This restaurant is standing out. They make more moneys while the others slow gross sales every day. This is great and simple marketing sales for practicing Thai restaurant business that I ever saw in California.
