Hong Jin-kyung's acquaintance, 'Hannam-dong restaurant owner', reveals daily routine running 8 locations until 3 AM

In a video from the YouTube channel 'Study King Real Genius Hong Jin-kyung', the daily routine of Si-jun, an acquaintance of Hong Jin-kyung and a businessman operating several stores in the Hannam-dong area, was revealed.

In the video, Si-jun stated that he manages a total of 8 business locations, including the 7 stores he currently operates and an office. He begins his day at 8:30 AM by checking the sales of the 7 stores and transferring payments, then visits the Hannam-dong stores, and at night, follows a schedule of ordering and organizing goods at the Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market. His daily routine ends at 3 AM.

Hardships of a solo entrepreneur, "Difficulties in vendor payments and personnel management"

Si-jun expressed the realistic difficulties he faces while handling all tasks alone. He said, "A lot of time is spent on organizing daily sales and transferring salaries," noting that because there are many vendors to manage, mistakes sometimes occur during the payment process. In fact, the video mentioned a case where, due to a work error, a salary was mistakenly transferred to an employee who did not work.

Additionally, operational difficulties such as missing orders due to manual ordering processes and different price settings for each store were also presented. He conveyed the weight he feels as a solo entrepreneur, saying, "It is difficult to respond to sales fluctuations with just one store, so I have no choice but to operate multiple locations."

A routine spanning from Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market to Hannam-dong stores

The video follows Si-jun's work movement, showing the Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market and the Hannam-dong stores. For about 9 years, Si-jun has been concurrently running a wholesale business supplying goods to restaurants at the Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market, and recently, he has been operating an office in Hannam-dong where he conducts menu development and Reels filming. Here, he also performs tasks for preparing new brands, such as modifying recipes for productization.
