A Sales Meeting

A: Hi, everyone. Are you ready to start?
B: Yep.
A: Okay, great. I would like to tell you about sales at our three restaurants from last month.
B: How did we do?
A: Well, I have good news and bad news.

A: Here is the good news. The sales from our main restaurant have increased by 10 percent.
C: What about our second restaurant?
A: Sales from our second location have remained stable. They are about as high as last month.
C: Excellent!
A: But here is the bad news. At our newest restaurant sales have decreased 7 percent.

C: Why have sales decreased?
A: I think it is because of the prices. The new restaurant is located in a busy area with many other restaurants. But its prices are higher than other restaurants'.
C: Ah, that make sense. I think we should lower our prices.

A: Yeah, lunch is the restaurant's busiest time. So I want to offer a special deal at lunch.
C: What kind of deal?
A: If customers order between 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., they will save 20% on their meal. And they can get a free drink.
B: That's a great idea. We should try it.
A: Great! We can start next month.
