Delivery app commissions are crazy… Crying over ever-increasing deficits ‘Is this right?’ (Anyone Can Be a Boss)

Han Hye-jin and Yoo Jung-soo of SBS Plus‘ ‘Anyone Can Be a Boss’ face the reality of a salad shop on the verge of ‘closure crisis’.

Episode 3 of ‘Anyone Can Be a Boss’, which airs on SBS Plus at 8:40 PM on the 28th (today), will reveal the story of the owner of a salad shop that has recorded an average monthly sales of over 15 million won and has produced many ‘regulars’, but whose net profit is plummeting.

On this day, ‘business expert’ Yoo Jung-soo personally visits the shop of the owner who is considering closing down. Afterwards, after seeing with his own eyes the salad that the owner put so much effort into, he praises it, saying, “It’s a textbook on starting a business!” However, the CEO, who works 13 hours a day, 6 days a week, confides, “Since August of last year, our net profit has plummeted, and I‘m barely taking home any money.”

Amidst the studio cast’s speculations of “Are you using too expensive raw materials?”, Yoo Jung-soo creates a “profit and loss statement” for the store for the first time for the CEO, who doesn‘t know how to properly create a “profit and loss statement”, and analyzes it thoroughly. Yoo Jung-soo then points out the “delivery app commission” as the problem, saying, “The store is clearly in the black, but due to the ”omitted expenses“, it suddenly became a deficit.”

The studio cast is all shocked by the enormous commission rate, which increases the deficit as delivery orders come in due to the delivery app commission fee, which is close to 30%. Han Hye-jin is dumbfounded, saying, “How on earth do you run a business? Something’s really wrong?” Kim Ho-young also sighs, saying, “If I had continued to order through a delivery app to help my acquaintance‘s store with sales, I would have left my acquaintance with not only work but also debt.” Yoo Jeong-soo also expresses regret, saying, “This is the most shocking story ever,” and the owner sheds tears that he had been holding back.

The production team plans to show the reality of the self-employed without reservation by directly addressing the paradox of the ‘delivery app commission’, which is driving the owner into a crisis while delving too deeply into the daily lives of consumers in the business solution episode of ‘Anyone Can Be a Owner’. Yoo Jeong-soo also knows the ability and passion of the salad store owner who has worked harder than anyone else, so he makes a more careful decision than ever to ‘close down or survive’. He asked, “Please watch the broadcast to see Yoo Jung-soo’s decision that ‘there is absolutely no way to lower costs’ and what the president’s final choice will be.”

Episode 3 of ‘Anyone Can Be a President’ will air on SBS Plus at 8:40 p.m. today (the 28th).
