Pengshikdang succeeded in reviving its struggling restaurant thanks to the addition of new part-time employee Miyeon.
In the 5th episode of JTBC ‘Showdown! Paeng Bong Paeng Bong’ that aired on the 17th, the results of the 3rd day of business for Paeng Restaurant and Bong Restaurant were revealed.The members of Paeng Restaurant, who were in a situation where they would completely lose the restaurant if they lost 3 times in a row, all woke up and turned the crisis into an opportunity, and the process of achieving a dramatic victory was depicted.
Yoo Seung-ho strongly insisted on the introduction of a new coffee machine in the premium limited edition corner ahead of the third day’s evening business.Choi Yang-rak suggested increasing sales per table to overcome the lack of tables.As a result, a dessert set menu was added that included the bungeoppang ice cream that Mi-yeon brought and Americano that reflected Yoo Seung-ho’s opinion, and it received a great response from customers along with K -ramen.
Paeng Hyun-sook, who was about to open for dinner, showed her strong determination and actively supported Choi Yang-rak’s opinion.Choi Yang-rak also took the restaurant seriously, even carefully adjusting the amount of ramen soup.Yoo Seung-ho caught people’s attention with his changed appearance, such as suggesting to serve bungeoppang to customers.Thanks to the earnestness of the Paeng Restaurant members, K -Ramen was popular with the customers, and the Paeng Restaurant kitchen also started to get busy.
On the other hand, Bongsikdang was somewhat quiet, so Lee Bong-won anxiously watched the people coming and going, and part-timers Lee Eun-ji and Kwak Dong-yeon secretly spied on Paengsikdang.However, as time passed and customers started coming in, Lee Bong-won and Kwak Dong-yeon skillfully handled the orders without difficulty.Lee Eun-ji, who was serving in the hall for the first time, was nervous for a moment, but she energized them with her characteristic high tension.
In the fierce competition, the victory of the third day of business went to Paengsikdang, which was far ahead in the number of customers, number of menus, and sales results.The members of Paengsikdang hugged each other and shared their joy at their first victory.Paengsikdang also got a large signboard, and they had the double joy of regaining the store that had been taken away twice.Yoo Seung-ho said, “Our restaurant finally got a signboard.Now, I feel like I’ve finally become a proper restaurant.”
Meanwhile, the competition between Paengsikdang and Bongsikdang will begin in earnest.This is because a new standard will be introduced from the 4th day, which will determine the winner based on accumulated net profit.Now, spending will also become the key to winning or losing, so the business know-how of the owners will be an important point.
Compared to Bongsikdang, Paengsikdang, which has lower rent, looked more relaxed, and Bongsikdang, which could be overtaken at any time, entered an emergency meeting.Lee Bong-won, whose anxiety button was pressed, tried to turn the mood around by suggesting Japchaebap, which has a low unit price, as a perfect item.Paengsikdang, which is on a roll, and Bongsikdang, which is on a counterattack, which team will have the last laugh, make us even more curious about the next story.
In addition, the members of Paengsikdang and Bongsikdang, who returned to their accommodations after the match, had a small gathering to relieve their fatigue.Eun-ji Lee confided to her seniors, “I am using here what I learned while working at the Chinese food corner of a large mart during the most difficult times.Looking back, I see that it is being used here.” Eun-ji Lee’s words that she was preparing for this moment during the most difficult times left a lasting impression.
Lee Bong-won, who was left alone with Choi Yang-rak, confessed, “If it was someone else, I wouldn’t have done this(‘Paeng Bong Paeng Bong’).When I said I would do it with my wife and Yang-rak said I would do it with his brothers, I thought, ‘We can have fun,’ and I really liked that kind of intention.” Choi Yang-rak also responded, “This is truly a gift from heaven.It’s actually hard work, but it’s so much fun,” showing off their deep friendship.
