Tianyitun Village Chief Li Wanshan and Lao Tan felt like old friends at first sight. In common people's words, they could pee in a pot. Now they always eat at Guandong people's houses, and every time Lao Tan comes, he goes over and has a few drinks with her. The two cherish each other.
, became friends.
Through Li Wanshan, two weddings were held at Guandong people's homes, and two funeral banquets were also held here.
Wang Ming scheduled the workshop dinner here. After eating once, everyone felt very good. After returning, they promoted it in the factory, so several workshops came to Lao Tan to order food. Lao Tan warmly received him and gave him a discount.
While meeting friends, it also drives business.
The aircraft factory that opened the hotel in Santaizi was the largest customer, and if we caught it, we would not lose money. Mr. Xu also knew this, but he had been in the city before and was not familiar with Santaizi, nor did he know the people in the factory.
Therefore, the aircraft factory has very few customers after its opening.
Santaizi is not as prosperous as the city, with dense crowds and many passers-by. As long as the restaurant provides good food and service, people will come, so there is no need to worry about the source of customers. Santaizi is such a place, and most of them are aircraft factory employees who eat every day.
They are fixed to those people, so the humanization is more serious.
It was not easy for a foreigner to open a restaurant here at first.
Why is Chishan Restaurant so popular? The main owner is from Santaizi. He has been running restaurants since his father’s generation. Not only everyone in Santaizi has eaten at his house, but it’s almost the same. It already has a reputation. Plus the boss can do things.
, those who have good relations with the leaders at all levels of the aircraft factory are all loyal to their cause and their business is guaranteed, so they become more and more popular.
Chishan Restaurant almost monopolizes half of the banquets in Santaizi. As long as you attend a wedding, most of them go to Chishan, followed by second-rate hotels such as Fishing Port and Hangfei.
Now Lao Tan plans to organize banquets on a large scale, and the dominance of Chishan Restaurant will be broken.
During the May Day period, the Guandong family hosted a total of eight weddings, and the Chishan Restaurant hosted ten.
By hosting eight weddings, Guandong Family’s banquets have gained a reputation for being large in quantity, affordable, and delicious. Guests who attended the banquet said it was better than Chishan Restaurant, and they will come here to do everything in the future.
Banquets are the most effective and direct way of publicity for hotels.
Under normal circumstances, 70% of the guests attending the banquet are within a three-kilometer radius of the hotel. They may not know the existence of the hotel before attending the banquet, or they may know it but have not eaten there, so they do not know whether it is good or bad. By attending the banquet, you can experience it in person
I feel that the food is delicious, the service is attentive, the price is reasonable, and the portion is large and affordable. With such an intuitive and profound impression, the chance of coming to eat here next time will be greatly increased.
Nowadays, many people in Santaizi are aware of the existence of Guandong people. The most intuitive impression is that of a large farmyard, with little donkeys grinding mills, little stupid chickens being slaughtered on the spot, live fish from the reservoir, big pots of stews, and rural banquets.
The decoration is very good, with private rooms, dining tables, and a banquet hall.
The waiter doesn't call her sir or miss, but calls her uncle, second uncle and third aunt affectionately. She is wearing an orchid-flowered coat, which looks pleasing to the eye------
The Guandong family gradually became famous in Santaizi.
That day, Wang Shulan, the pastry boss, came to Lao Tan and said that a pastry chef was about to leave and a new one had to be hired. Lao Tan asked what the resigned pastry chef was responsible for, and Wang Shulan said he was responsible for dumplings.
Speaking of dumplings, Lao Tan couldn't help but think of the Blue Flower Pavilion in Binhai. He hasn't contacted him since he came back last year. Several local chefs who were still working there during the Spring Festival called him and said that the business was not very good and the management
It's quite chaotic, and many old employees have quit their jobs.
Wang Hong called him two days ago and said she was no longer there and was looking for work. Lao Tan thought she was the dumpling maker and could call him over.
Thinking of this, I told Wang Shulan not to worry, he would take care of the matter. Then I left the kitchen and was about to walk to the hall, when I happened to bump into Wang Gang.
Wang Gang's first phase of study has been completed, and he seems to have gained a lot and is in high spirits.
"Master Tan, I was looking for you." Wang Gang said.
"Is something wrong?" Lao Tan asked.
"Aren't you done with your work this May Day? We are all very tired. Just now, the four of us, Manager Zhang, Manager Zhou, and Sister Shuang, and I met and wanted to have a lively dinner for the employees." Wang Gang said excitedly.
"That's a good thing. When is the date set?"
Wang Gang didn't decide on a day first, but expressed his thoughts: "We discussed it this way, wouldn't we dance every day? I looked at it, some danced very well, and some didn't dance at all, right there
It’s so confusing to look at it.”
Lao Tan nodded in approval and motioned for him to continue.
"Aren't there three teams now? We didn't do any activities after setting up. Let's just have a dance PK. What do you think?" Wang Gang asked.
"Okay, let's PK, have you figured out how to deal with it?" Lao Tan asked.
"The three teams take turns to dance. Whichever team dances better will be rewarded with fifty points added directly. After the PK, the team will have dinner." Wang Gang said.
Lao Tan nodded and said yes, then asked with a smile: "The competition must have judges. Have you decided who will be the judges? Now we have three dances. During the competition, should we dance all of them or just one?"
"These haven't been decided yet, I'll discuss it with you," Wang Gang said.
"Let's do this. After lunch, we will sit down and study. Let's do it in a decent way so that we don't wet our diapers. The first time, if we don't do it well the next time, the employees won't like to participate."
Tan said.
"That's it. Let's discuss it at noon."
Lao Tan has now become the soul of the management. Whether it is the kitchen or the front desk, everyone comes to him to discuss anything, and his decision is often the final one.
He has also wanted to hold an event for a long time, but he has been busy working on the dishes during this period and has not had time to plan. Now that the dishes have just stabilized and can accommodate guests, he can take a breath. He plans to continue to work hard for another month to make the current
Some results are solidified and cannot rebound.
I have been busy these days on May Day. After the banquet and retail sales, the turnover has been above 50,000. On the 2nd, the sales reached a historic high of 64,000, which made everyone very happy.
The sales amount has increased, but the problem has also become highlighted. The product can remain stable within 40,000 yuan, but after 40,000 yuan, it starts to lose shape. It is obvious that the foundation is not good and the foundation is not reliable.
Forty thousand is just a starting point, and it will reach more than fifty thousand in the future. This state is guaranteed not to work. We must follow up and pay close attention, use stupid methods to target people to death, and lay a good foundation.
At today's regular meeting, he proposed the principle of "delivering food five seconds late." The kitchen chef and stall manager, who are directly responsible for the food, must take five seconds to carefully inspect the food before serving it, and only serve it if it is qualified.
"Once the dishes are served, we have no chance to explain. We must pay attention to the last step of the production."
"The dishes don't lie. If you take it seriously, it will take you seriously. This is the capital we rely on to survive and the means we use to support our families. Producing food five seconds late is not to be slow, but to produce quality products."
Overall, what reassures him now is the tofu shop and cold dishes.
The tofu shop has always been stable. Water tofu and tofu curd are very popular, and they can't sell enough every day.
After adjustment, the quality of the cold dishes has become stable and distinctive. Coupled with Zhou Hongyou's seriousness and strong sense of responsibility, the cold dishes are now well organized and orderly, and the production speed has been greatly improved, which has been recognized and praised by customers.
The pastry products are also stable, but there is no flagship product. Although the pimple soup has been improved to the point where it is a must-order at every table, it cannot be launched as a special feature. The steamed buns and cornmeal steamed cakes are okay and very popular among customers.
Dumplings are just like hand cakes. Lao Tan has always wanted to improve these two things, but he didn't have time. If Wang Hong can come, it will be a big help to him - the dumpling problem will be solved.
What needs to be strengthened is the hot dishes. Once the hot dishes are produced stably, you can free up time to focus on pasta.
Now Lao Tan doesn't dare to relax at all. He rarely leaves the kitchen every day and keeps his eyes on the dishes. If he finds something unqualified, he immediately stops him and resolutely refuses to serve it. So much so that when the chef is serving the dish, he will subconsciously look at him first.
If you are not here, you will check it carefully, lest you fail and be stopped to do it again - points will be deducted from the team.
Lao Tan is dedicated. He has not had a day off in two months and is the last one to leave the kitchen every day.
From a career perspective, he wants to start a business in Guandong and prove his ability. From a survival perspective, he wants to support his family.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Tan's office.
Wang Gang, Zhang Li, Li Shuang, Zhou Xiaomei, Hu Jing, Li Xu, and Lao Tan sat in a circle around the desk, studying the dinner and dance competition.
Lao Tan first said: "I suggest that the competition and dinner be held on one day, with the competition in the morning and dinner in the evening."
Wang Gang said: "That's what I mean too."
Zhang Li put forward a different opinion: "Can we hold it all in the evening and have a dinner after the competition? It would be so lively."
"I think it's best to hold it together," Li Shuang said.
Zhou Xiaomei, Hu Jing, and Li Xu didn't say anything. Their expressions showed that they agreed with Zhang Li's opinion.
Lao Tan said: "It's okay to hold it together, but I'm afraid it will be too long and cause trouble in the middle of the night, and I have to go to work the next day."
"Just have fun playing." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Finally, it was decided to hold it at nine o'clock in the evening on the 12th, with a dance first and then a dinner. The three teams performed the money-grabbing dance together, and the judges were Zhang Li, Wang Gang, Lao Tan, Accountant Li, and Zhang Juan.
The first place will be awarded 500 yuan in activity funds, and the team will receive 50 points. The second and third places will not be rewarded, but will receive 30 and 10 points.
Host Zhou Xiaomei, facilitator Wang Gang.
After the event was finalized, Lao Tan said a few more words. The central idea was to break through 1.5 million in May, hold a kick-off meeting in June, commend the outstanding stalls and employees in May, and set the sales tasks in June.
for 1.55 million.
"Let me tell you my plan. I will spend three months doing basic work and cultivating my internal skills. The main focus is on the dishes, including the quality of production and the speed of serving. I want every dish to be high-quality, so that I can be competitive."
"The hotel is a whole, and no matter how good the food in the kitchen is, it won't work without the cooperation of the front desk." Speaking of this, Lao Tan smiled and said to several leaders at the front desk: "I have been the head chef for many years, and I dare not offend the front desk.
If we are happy, our food will sell well; if you are angry, our food will not sell."
"Boss, treat us to a few more meals, and the dishes will be sold like hotcakes," Li Shuang joked.
"That's a must." Lao Tan readily agreed, and then said: "It's May now, March doesn't count. The dishes we started to prepare in April will continue this month and next month. I hope your front desk will cooperate vigorously to serve the guests."
Give me your feedback on the dishes in a timely manner so that I can make timely adjustments.”
"Don't worry, I guarantee timely feedback." Zhang Li said.
Lao Tan smiled at Zhang Li and said: "We sold 1.32 million in April, and I am confident that it will exceed 1.5 million this month. If it exceeds 1.55 million in June, it will be no problem."
"I think there's no problem. Master Tan, you can lead the others and let's work hard together. It's only 1.5 million, don't you think so?" Wang Gang said.
"Then let's work together to exceed 1.5 million. Old Tan treats guests and has a big meal!" Old Tan said.
