Chapter 26

A week had passed, and Rio's implemented dishes continued to delight customers, solidifying his cafe as the go-to place for culinary delights. Each day brought new milestones, and they even reached a staggering record of serving 2,000 customers in a single day. The cafe was buzzing with activity, and Rio couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, with the increased customer influx, Rio realized it was time to expand his business further. He made plans to open a new branch of Bluiz Cafe in Sakura Mall, capitalizing on its prime location. The total profit for the week amounted to an impressive $110,000, and projecting it over a month, the estimated revenue reached a staggering $473,000.

Meanwhile, Rio's bubble tea store was a massive hit. Word of mouth from satisfied customers at the cafe quickly spread, attracting a steady stream of patrons to the bubble tea store. Despite its popularity, Rio remained determined not to become complacent. He hired and trained a new team of eight staff members to ensure the store could operate seamlessly every day, from morning till the mall's closing time.

With the bubble tea store thriving, Rio saw an opportunity for further expansion. He rented an entire floor at Silver Tower Plaza, covering an expansive 15,000 square feet, for future branches. The monthly rent came to $150,000, a significant investment Rio believed would pay off in the long run.

The bubble tea store continued to generate impressive profits, with sales of 1,200 cups daily resulting in a daily profit of $5,400. The demand showed no signs of waning, fueling Rio's ambition to open more branches in strategic locations. Each cup was in average of $4.50, Regular priced at $3 and Large at $6.

Rio's success and innovative approach caught the attention of a popular business magazine, which invited him for an interview. During the interview, Rio shared how food critics praised Bluiz Cafe and Bubblicious (the name of his bubble tea store) for their delightful offerings and exceptional customer service. This positive feedback further solidified his establishments as favorites among food enthusiasts, cementing their place in the city's culinary scene.

In light of his expanding empire, Sarah proposed hiring an HR manager, a district manager, and a Financial Controller. Rio agreed with her suggestion, and with their recruitment, his team was now equipped to handle the growth and ensure smooth operations across all branches.

With determination in his eyes, Rio knew he was on the path to conquering the F&B sector. His brilliance and relentless drive propelled him towards building a business empire that would leave a lasting impact on the industry.

Tuesday, 1st of March.

After a successful week and the month's closure, Rio rewarded his hardworking staff at Bluiz Cafe. He allocated $20,000 to cover their expenses, with each staff member receiving $2,500. In her new position as the district manager, Sarah earned a monthly salary of $8,000. The total amount spent on monthly staff salaries amounted to $28,000.

With his responsibilities fulfilled, Rio headed to his new office in Silver Tower Plaza. The extensive renovation of the office space had cost an astonishing $300,000, but Rio knew it was a worthwhile investment.

Entering the magnificent 15,000-square-foot office floor, Rio was in awe of the sight before him. The reception area greeted him with its sleek marble flooring and warm ambient lighting, setting a tone of sophistication and luxury.

As he explored further, Rio was captivated by the open-concept work area that unfolded before him. Natural light streamed through large windows, offering breathtaking views of the bustling city below. The space was carefully designed to promote collaboration and productivity, with modern and ergonomic workstations arranged thoughtfully. Lush indoor plants added a touch of nature, infusing the environment with life.

Passing by glass-partitioned meeting rooms and private offices, Rio envisioned the potential for innovation and collaboration within these spaces. Each room was equipped with state-of-the-art technology and stylish décor, creating an atmosphere conducive to impactful discussions and breakthrough ideas.

Continuing his journey, Rio discovered a central lounge area—a haven for relaxation and creativity. The comfortable seating options beckoned him to take a moment to unwind, recharge, and engage with colleagues. He imagined vibrant conversations, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeating the air, and the exchange of ideas that would shape the future.

Every detail of the 15,000-square-foot office floor was meticulously crafted to cultivate productivity, collaboration, and inspiration. Rio admired the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology, sustainable design elements, and artistic touches adorned the walls. The office floor radiated energy and possibility, fueling his sense of purpose and excitement.

Within these elegant and efficient surroundings, Rio knew he had found a space where he could contribute his unique talents and ideas. The office floor symbolized boundless potential and limitless opportunities for growth.
