SMALL BUSINESSES PAYING THE PRICE

AFTERPAY Many businesses are finding their existing customers who used to pay by cash or card are switching to Afterpay. One small business owner reported that Afterpay is many customers’ “dirty little secret“. She believes her predominantly female customer base use the payments platform to hide purchases from their husbands and partners.

“For one purchase of $100, Afterpay comes up as four separate payments of $25 spread over two credit card statements,” she says. “Best of all the statement only refers to Afterpay, not to the name of the store.” It’s still early days, but it seems retailers are being forced to embrace Afterpay in the same way that restaurants are forced to partner with the double-edged sword UberEats. Afterpay works by enabling consumers to purchase items through a layby-like process of four payments over an eight-week period,.The clincher is that you get to take your purchase home straight away before paying off the balance electronically. Use of the Australian payment platform has spread like wildfire.

Last financial year it had 2.3 million active users - nearly one in 10 Australians - and $2.2 billion in sales. A report by ASIC in late 2018 found Australian customers, collectively, owe $903 million in buy now, pay later debts through platforms like Afterpay.

It also found a 400 per cent jump in customers who had used these schemes in the last financial year. However for small businesses around Australia, Afterpay comes at a high cost. In a tough retail market the extortionate fees could be what tips a lot of businesses over the edge.

AUSTRALIAN SMALL BUSINESS TARGETS CHINA vnm magazine 08

As Chinese demand for Australian products shows no signs of slowing, small Australian businesses are looking at how they can better tap into this huge international market. But there are a number of key factors that determine whether a small business is capable of making the jump from local to global. One of the most important issues is connectivity and the ability to service customers that can’t just walk into a store if they have an issue with the product. Another important issue is whether the business can afford to make such an investment before the revenue starts to come in from new markets. Karen Pouye, founder of Whizbang.TV says that while the connected world can open new revenue streams or a larger market, it can also benefit a small business by saving costs”.

“Easier access to your potential customers means saving both time and money in unnecessary travel expenses,” Pouye says. But the Chinese market is a different beast, and getting to know that market is another challenge for small businesses. Pouye, who produces instructional videos for manufacturers and retailers, found that some of their assumptions about the Chinese market were incorrect, and had to change their approach as their off-shore customer base grew. “Originally, we believed that the Chinese businesses would be interested in ‘affordable’ product videos, however we learned that [they] were more interested in increasing the status, credibility and perceived quality of their products,” she said. “We discovered that if we wanted to go global, and particularly to China we needed to raise our bar somewhat in regards to the quality of our videos.” Paul Davidson, co-founder of Koala Eco, an Australian based natural cleaning products business, told us the size of the Chinese market means that there are many distribution channels and niche markets to consider, but there are barriers to overcome first. “The language barrier is also a significant challenge,” Davidson says. “It’s important to find local Chinese partners to work with who both understand the market and have the contacts to bring our product to market.” For Australian businesses, the appetite from the Chinese market for these products is generally still strong.The consumer spending habits of China’s rising middle class has been a key driver of the country’s economic growth, and that consumer spending has been unleashed on the global market as more people shop online.

澳洲人竟然抱怨在中国吃不 到好吃的中餐 中餐的两幅面孔，你了解多 少 上周，我的一位澳洲朋友非常不解的向我抱怨，“为 什么在中国竟然吃不到好吃的中餐？” 原来他刚刚从中国海南旅游回来，原本满怀期待的体 验更美味的中餐，尤其在导游介绍的天花烂坠之后，几乎 垂涎欲滴。然而，导游口中的当地特色美食们却让这个地 地道道的老外“水土不服”。 朋友不解的问我，“为什么一整条带着骨头的鱼就被 端上桌？为什么鸡肉里都是骨头？墨尔本好吃的煎饺呢？ 柠檬鸡呢？ Dim Sim 呢？为什么在中国吃不到？！” 这一连串直击灵魂的拷问不难看出他对中餐深厚的 感情。同时似乎也反应了另一个有趣的现象，在墨尔本大 大小小，菜系繁多的中餐厅里，深受澳洲当地人喜爱的中 餐厅往往不受我们华人同胞的喜爱。

同样是中餐难道它也有两幅面孔

Four Seas Chinese Restaurants Chelsea 393 Nepean Hwy, Chelsea VIC 3196 经营 12 年 菜系：粤菜

墨尔本的中餐大致上可以分为针对华人客户的中 餐，例如：火锅、串串、烧烤、麻辣烫等，和针对澳洲当 地客人的中餐。而后者，作为外来的和尚就必不可免的需 要入乡随俗。在保留中国特色的基础上根据当地人的饮食 习惯稍作改良。 那么针对澳洲当地客人的中餐到底和针对华人的中 餐有哪些具体的区别？我们华人店家们都做了那些改良？ 外来的和尚究竟应该如何念经？ 今 天， 我 们 Absolute Business Brokers（ 爱 博 思 生 意中介）请到有着多年成功经验的店主们为大家现身说法。

您在澳洲墨尔本经营的中餐和您在中国吃的中餐 有什么区别呢？ 区别非常大。我们在澳洲做的中餐菜品都是根据澳洲 人的口味和偏好改良过的。比如，我们的蒸鱼全部都是鱼 片，没有鱼骨；鸡肉也都大部分不带骨；因为澳洲人不像 我们中国人从小就被训练如何避开骨头和鱼刺，他们非常 不擅长去骨去刺，所以索性我们就帮他们处理好了。 口味方面，老外偏甜偏酸，喜欢油炸，炸过的食物他 们会觉得非常香。澳洲中餐的“四大天王”就非常具有代 表性，蒙古牛、柠檬鸡、蜜糖鸡和咕咾肉。

Dumpling De Master 8 Darryl St, Scoresby VIC 3179 经营中餐 6 年 店面较小，25 个座位，65% 是外卖，以 Takeaway 为主

店里最受老外喜欢的食物有哪些，老外客人和华 人客人口味上有什么区别？ 一定是饺子和炒饭。尤其是韭菜猪肉和鸡虾煎饺最受欢迎。 老外口味比我们华人重很多；他们喜欢油炸食物，我们华 人更喜欢烹炒。

做好针对老外的中餐，需要注意哪些方面？ 首先，食材必须要新鲜。当然，做餐饮无论面对什么国家 的客户食材新鲜永远都是第一位。澳洲人也不例外，甚至 他们会更看重食物的新鲜度。 其次，店面一定要干净，无论前厅还是后厨。虽然我们以 外卖为主，但是我们店里还是会有一个半开放式的厨房。 客人可以直观的看到我们从包饺到煎饺的整个操作过程。 既然是半开放的，也就意味着要我们把自己毫无保留的放 在客户眼皮底下接受监督，在卫生，清洁方面更是不能有 一丝马虎。

服务方式之上菜顺序 老外本身固有的的饮食习惯和顺序还是比较根深蒂固的， 前餐、主餐、甜品。当他吃中餐的时候，哪怕最初已经点 好所有的菜品，服务员不顾顺序一齐上菜，老外客人还是 会让你撤下去。所以，我们以前服务老外客人的时候，都 会让厨房先配好菜，等服务生通知可以做下一个步骤的时 候，厨房才会走菜。

买生意

刚登陆墨尔本 2 个月 就买下生意的他（澳洲 商业创新移民）后悔了 吗？ 1 月 8 号， 从 中 国 深 圳 到 墨 尔 本 载 有 M-PO$ 货物的集装箱在行驶 20 多天后顺利抵达 墨尔本 Dandenong south 的一家仓库。一位华 人模样的男子穿着标有 M-PO$ 商标的 T 恤，卸 货盘点入库理货，驾轻就熟的一系列操作，看似 已经拥有了多年的行业经验。

他，就是今天的主人公。来自中国深圳，全 家正式登陆澳大利亚墨尔本仅四个半月，生意交 割仅两个半月的澳洲商业创新移民梅日升。 恰好我去拜访的这一天，梅总为生意定制的 夏冬两季工服刚刚送到。为这个生意（Microtrade Australia） 断 断 续 续 工 作 了 五 年 多 的 老 员 工 Steve 也第一次感受到和这份工作深厚的亲密感 和责任感，脸上不时露出孩子般的笑容还不停的 说着，“我很喜欢绿色”。 比起做决定买这个生意时的略显不安和紧 张，如今的梅总沉着自信、侃侃而谈。

2018 年，梅总通过生意出售的广告联系到 我。那时还在深圳经营玩具模型贸易的梅总， 正考虑到墨尔本继续从事自己的老本行。于是， 我们 (AbsoluteBusiness Brokers) 在出售的两家 Hobby 店正中下怀。在走访了两家店，并结合 自己的预算、资金投入产出比和潜在的市场变化 后。梅日升迅速放弃了 Hobby 这个行业，调整 目标，将注意力集中在网络销售和批发生意上。 恰好，我们（Absolute Business Brokers）刚刚 拿到市场上出售的一家拥有 29 年历史的 POS 系 统网店生意又一次吸引了梅日升的注意力。行 事严谨的他在查阅过生意财务数据和报表之后， 带着记满了问题的笔记本开始了和店主的面谈。 最终，几次面谈之后顺利达成一致。2018 年， 11 月 8 日，生意正式交割。而这时，距离他正 式登陆仅仅 2 个月。 当您现在再去回顾购买生意的整个过程，您对 还在看生意的新移民有什么建议 ?

1、我建议大家在买生意签署协议之前一定要拿到设备清 单一一确认，尤其是网店；它没有实体店面，设备不能一 目了然。我和我的律师在签署合同时忽略了设备清单，以 致于在后期交割时候稍微被动了一些，但最终结果还是比 较圆满的。 2、另外想和大家分享我自己的一个体会，澳洲人在生意 方面不太讲究人情，但很遵守规矩、严格执行条款。也就 意味着，你只需要专注的在协议上规定好双方的权利和义 务，对方和执行和配合度都很高。

过度依赖员工、员工的流动性以及和员工的有 效沟通是很多新移民在买生意时候最大的担忧。 您当时是怎么考虑的？ 网店生意虽说看起来通过网络下单，不需要语言沟通，但 实际上，大部分客人都会先电话确认产品功能之后才会做 决定下单。因为，我们真正登陆仅仅几个月，我目前的英 文在商务沟通方面还是稍有欠缺。所以，无论是语言的沟 通能力上，还是对公司业务的熟悉程度上，留住老员工 Steve 还是比较重要的。 我在买生意之前不仅和现任店主确认好了培训的时间，后 期的付费咨询，同时也和 Steve 就之后的工作意向和薪资 达成了一致。就像刚才我提到的，澳洲人不像我们华人讲 人情，请吃饭，送小礼物等等。我如果请 Steve 吃饭，他 反而觉得很奇怪。但从另一个角度来说，也是一件好事， 因为你也摸清楚了游戏规则。

做生意 “做，就要把它做好”是梅日升一直践行的理念。结合在国内多年来的商业经验，爱思考，行动 力强的梅日升在接手短短的三个月里，就完成了培训；选址；办公室设计，装修；营销战略规划。

仓库选址和布局

“我接手的时候，这个生意还仅仅是网络的线上销售。结合生意当时的利润，我选择拿出一部分 用来租赁仓库。当我心里暗自觉得就是这个生意的时候，就已经开始选址了。所以几乎在生意交割的 同时，我们也入驻了仓库。” 梅总的仓库位于墨尔本著名的东南工业区 Dandenong South，220 平的仓库整齐、有序、不同 功能区间隔分明。这里有梅总和 Steve 的 office 工作专区；有货物仓储区，货物陈列区，产品测试区。 梅总带我参观的过程中，滔滔不绝的介绍着仓库里里外外的设计、布局；介绍着不同产品的性能、 用途的时候，我都很难想象这所有的一切出自刚刚登陆不到 5 个月的中国人。不禁佩服他的勇气、 魄力和执行力。

定制服装

“为了让我的团队看起来更加专业；也更加有凝聚力，我专门设计、定制了属于我们自己团队的 夏装和冬装。 这些虽然是额外的成本，很多人会认为可做可不做，因为它不能让你直接获利。我的想 法是，有些收益并不是通过金钱来结算，来衡量的。如果，我们统一的着装能给客户带来踏实和信赖感； 如果能给团队带来凝聚力。这点微不足道的费用是非常值得的。”

梅日升和 Steve

广告

“我们线上销售的行业相对比较依赖于广告，尤其是 Google 广告。我研究了过去广告费的成 本和配比，也相对做了些调整，尤其是增加线下广告宣传，希望能够更加直接，点对点的把我们的 信息传递给目标客户。” 还记得去拜访的那天，下午三点半，仓库旁边的咖啡店已经在做清洁，准备打烊了。而梅日升 却刚从会计那边回来，刚刚吃上一口午饭。 现实中很多人对做生意有很多美好的愿景：简单、不操心、风险小、可控、利润高、投入少。 可这世上从来就没掉过馅饼也没出现过一步登天的捷径。《哈利波特》中邓布利多校长对哈利说过 一句话：我们本以为在生活中我们遇到的都是 the right way 和 the wrong way 的问题，但其实不然， 在真实的生活中我们面对的都是 the right way or the easy way. 哪条路才能真正到达彼岸，只有时 间和经历才会给出答案。

中国人在澳洲经营咖啡店困难重重？ 他们这样说

咖啡—墨尔本餐饮文化的灵魂 早上一杯果腹，中午一杯提神，它已经成为一种固定的生活方式。 然而，当提起经营一家咖啡店的时候，大部分中国人都会摇头摆脑的摆出一副“否认三连”： 不行，咖啡文化我们不懂！ 不行，中国人经营的咖啡店老外不会去！ 不行，没有经验会被员工欺负，还招不到人！

有些是因为道听途说， 有些是因为自己失败的经历。 那么我们不禁疑问三连： 精通中国文化的我们经营的每一家中餐厅都生意兴隆吗？ 你走进的每一家咖啡店都会去并且都能精准的定位出老板吗？ 招不到员工，经营失败首先不应该自我检讨吗？ 幸运的是，在墨尔本众多经营咖啡店的华人店主里面，我们看到了越来越多的成功案例。

所以，对不起， 文化不背锅， 歧视不背锅， 员工更不背这口大锅！

我们有幸采访到两位华人咖啡店店主。一起分享和探讨： 如何招聘员工 如何应对员工的流动 如何应对客人的流失 老外对亚裔面孔做咖啡是否有歧视

vnm magazine 019

老客户会因员工的流动性而流失吗？ 其实不太会，只要在招聘的时候把好关，食物制作出来的 水平还是比较统一、稳定的。

当地人对亚裔面孔经营咖啡店会有歧视吗？ 我觉得个人气场很重要；如果你自己都不自信，每天都诚 惶诚恐的担心别人歧视你，客人又怎么会相信你的产品？

首先，新员工的工作积极性很高，主观能动性很强。 其次，避免流动性就要分析产生流动性的根本原因。在 我看来，最重要的无非就是两点，工资水平和晋升通道。 而这两点，又是彼此依赖，相辅相成。 举个例子，我现在的经理已经在我这里稳定的工作两年 了，他刚开始是招聘服务生来的，只有基本的 Service 的能力。但员工的晋升又和能力的提升密不可分，所以， 只要店里不是很忙的时候，我都会鼓励员工练习打咖啡， 锻炼、提升技能。所以他一路做到了经理，薪资也相应 有了提高。 整个过程里面，物质基础到自我实现都在一定程度上得 到了满足。流动性也可以相对降低。

如何筛选简历？ 简历对我来说没有很重要，只是大致了解一下应聘者的基 本情况。重点还是会放在试工上。两个小时试工和面试的 聊天基本就可以掌握应聘者的技能和大致性格特点。我会 更倾向于雇佣 Can Do Attitude 的员工。

如何应对员工流动性？

您怎么看待客人流失问题？

首先，员工的流动性不是餐饮行业的特性，是所有行业都

客人和员工的流动性都一样不可控，但相同点是，旧的去

希望但我不能奢求每个人都喜欢我的咖啡店。所以，放平

姿态。

即使，新移民刚登陆澳洲，没有经验，英语也不流利，都

服务态度的管控；营销宣传的管控）用对的人，我相信因果，

其次，澳洲是一个比较民主、平等的国家。对员工呼来喝 去是完全行不通的。所以，管理是一门艺术，在对待员工 的方式、方法上面一定要有所思考。 上周，我在厨房呆了一天，不夸张的说，我真有点被气坏了。 但是，我不可能发现一个问题，就指出来，发现一个错误 就马上说。换位思考，如果你自己做一件事情，每一个步 骤都被人指手画脚，你也会不开心，不耐烦。所以，我就 会把所有问题记下来，以最容易被接受的方式，平和又坚 定的方法把我想传递的信息点传达给我的员工。 另外，避免对员工过多苛责的一个方法是，对于岗位职责 的明确细分。只有你对员工把他职责内需要做的工作，有

THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE WORLD CLASS SERVICE, QUALITY & STYLE ADD UP TO LUXURY

S

tarting a business can be a daunting challenge – and experienced Victorian jeweller Glenn Curtis should know.

‘We’ve certainly made some beautiful things, says Glenn. ‘It’s something we all enjoy. There are days when it doesn’t seem like work at all.’

He’s built a successful business from the ground up – and it’s a story worth reading about. Some buy a franchise or an existing business while others like Glenn build their business over time, riding the inevitable highs and lows.

‘One of the most important keys to a successful business is service’ says Glenn, ‘We strive for excellence in every contact – answering an email, seeing a client to discuss their jewellery, or dealing with other industry professionals. It’s vital to help build opportunities and relationships.’

As Glenn himself points out – ‘there’s no right or wrong way – follow your instinct and be prepared to listen to and take advice. Treat every offer or idea with a healthy dose of reality, even cynicism and you’ll soon work out what feels right for you.’

World class quality in craftsmanship has led Curtis to become a world class brand, winning a coveted Robb Report Magazine ‘Best of the Best’ Award helped cement a reputation early on.

In addition, ‘SuperYachts’ compared Curtis to global brand Cartier in terms of being ‘perhaps the world’s finest pens’ – accolades that help drive Curtis on to greater things.

With their own studio and skilled team they create beautiful Australian made diamond jewellery, luxury pens and hand crafted watches in house, so Curtis certainly has luxury covered.

They also create bespoke and one of a kind pieces for individual clients and love to create precious jewellery for any occasion. You can see the tremendous variety of their work at their website at curtisaustralia.com

It was exactly this attention to service that led Curtis to form a relationship with legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus.

A friend of Jack’s had bought a Curtis pen (the brand makes some stunning solid silver ones) and sent it back for a minor adjustment from America.

Exceptional Curtis customer service led to an invitation to lunch privately with Nicklaus himself at the exclusive Bear’s Club in Florida.

to your own particular business.

‘Always try to innovate – to stand out from the competition. It might be a simple offer or idea – just give it some thought first and give it a try. For example, we have clients visit our studio for a demonstration and tour – it helps them understand a little about how we make their jewellery and it’s something they love to see’ At the core of this remarkable brand are straightforward values – the highest standards of craftsmanship coupled with the very best in service. Curtis can help you with your jewellery too – feel free to contact Glenn and start a conversation – he’d really love to hear from you.

To learn more about Curtis Australia and see their remarkable work, or to contact Glenn Curtis, visit curtisaustralia.com

Over the course of that lunch, the idea for a range of commemorative, limited edition pens began to form, beginning a very special relationship between Jack and Curtis. It just goes to show how a simple act of quality service can have unexpected and valuable consequences. Building a reputation for superb quality has also helped Curtis create gifts for the Parliament of Australia and the Office of the Governor of Victoria.

Innovation is another facet to Glenn’s philosophy – whether in product or marketing, or just practices that relate Gents ‘Myst’ watch in yellow & white gold, set with brilliant white diamonds
