Lee Sun-sil talked about sales.
On the 12th, KBS2's Sadanggwi episode 352 featured Lee Sun-sil boss meeting Shin Ki-ru.
That day, Shin Ki-ru visited Lee Sun-sil's restaurant, and the sight of empty seats despite it being lunchtime was striking.
When Shin Ki-ru wondered about it, Lee Sun-sil said "The restaurant has been open for seven months. When it opened, sales were nearly 100 million won. People lined up tightly outside, but when winter came it collapsed sharply, and sales dropped by 80%. I couldn't do anything, so I added dishes like mung bean pancakes and braised pollock," and revealed that there are about 20 items on the restaurant's current menu.
She even said that yesterday sales were only 500,000 won for the day. However, home shopping sales were doing well. Lee Sun-sil explained, "They sell extremely well. Money comes in well from other places, but only the restaurant is like that. In 2024, it was 4 billion won, and last year dumpling sales were 7 billion won. We can't sell enough dumplings because there aren't any left."
Lee Sun-sil added, "The first place I established in Korea was the restaurant. Through this I have work I must do," and lamented, "Many defectors run restaurants. They call me for consultations. My dream is to be a model by doing it myself and setting an example. That's why I can't give it up because I want to make this happen."
Hearing this, Shin Ki-ru said, "I really like food, so I have a lot of restaurant data. From what I heard you say, you want to run it for a long time, right? Long-established restaurants are called 'nopo' (old establishments); beyond taste, the service will be different," and she went together to find other notable eateries to learn know-how.
