Canceling the four post chefs will definitely offend Wang Gang.
Also, why arrange for a chef?
Replacing the four assistant chefs with four chefs will inevitably increase the speed of serving food and ensure the quality of the dishes. It is impossible for Wang Gang to know such a simple truth.
Now that we know that four chefs are arranged, there must be something to say.
Don't move casually until you figure it out, Lao Tan muttered in his mind.
There are thirty-eight people in the hot food kitchen, sixteen stove workers, ten chopping boards, ten load tables, and two chicken butchers.
The boss of the chopping block, Yuan Hua, is a clean-looking young man who looks smart at first glance, with his eyes that wander around and reveal his intelligence.
Eight of the kitchen employees are Wang Gang's apprentices, four are his relatives, and most of the others were recruited from his hometown. Only six of them really have nothing to do with him.
After finishing the hot dishes, Wang Gang led Lao Tan into the cold dish room.
Zhou Hongyou, the boss of Liangcai, saw Wang Gang and Lao Tan coming in and came forward to say hello enthusiastically.
Wang Gang hugged his neck affectionately and asked, "Did you go drinking with Yuan Hua yesterday?"
"Well, I drank it." Zhou Hongyou replied.
"Don't call me when you drink."
"Aren't you going out to drink?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Forget it, I drank with the chefs from Fisherman's Wharf and Fulinju. With my small drinking capacity, I can't compete with them. I drank too much."
Zhou Hongyou said with a smile: "Next time you take me with you, and I promise to drink them all down."
The cold dish room is small, and six employees will not be able to operate it. It seemed a bit crowded when Lao Tan and Wang Gang came in, and they came out quickly.
"I'm familiar with these guys, and even if they don't behave in a day, they all know my temper and are not afraid of me." Wang Gang laughed after saying this.
Lao Tan said: "This is good, mixed."
"I came here on my little anniversary. He is a nice person and his craftsmanship is good. His face is sour. When he smiles, he feels that he has no temper. It's not time yet. No one recognizes his temper. He's afraid of me. I'm not used to bad things. Dare to follow me
If you are anxious, call him "Dianyan" and get out of here immediately."
Wang Gang said calmly, as if reminding Lao Tan.
Lao Tan said: "You have been working here for a long time and have prestige. No one dares to disobey you."
"You know, Master Tan, I hired most of the people in the kitchen. You will gradually know what our boss is like. He is reluctant to spend money. Our salary is not to say the lowest in the whole province. Look at Li Xu.
The sous chef, who has been working with the boss for eight years, only has three thousand five thousand. The other chefs have three thousand. The chopping board boss has two thousand, the cold dish boss has two thousand five thousand, the chopping board boss has one thousand five thousand, and the bearer has one thousand.
I lifted the stew from the chopping board. I am not a chef at all. I taught you how to cook. I paid you 1,700 yuan. The boss didn’t want to spend money to hire a chef, so I had no choice.
Otherwise we won’t be able to serve the food.”
It turns out that this is what cooking is all about, Lao Tan nodded.
Wang Gang continued: "There is no way, the boss refuses to spend money. I also know that spending good money to hire good chefs can ensure the quality of the dishes and serve them quickly, but no one is big-mouthed. The restaurant is opened by others, so what do they say to us?"
No matter what you do, you can’t do anything by yourself, and you’ll be exhausted to no avail.”
Wang Gang grumbled while leading Lao Tan into the pastry room.
Wang Shulan, the noodle boss, is forty years old. She is relatively easy-going and has a very pleasant voice, a bit like an announcer.
We didn’t stop in the pastry room. After getting to know each other, we left the kitchen and went to the stew stall in front. The stew lady was busy moving the plates. She saw the two of them greeting each other enthusiastically. Of course, she was just saying hello to Wang Gang, not like Lao Tan.
thing.
Wang Gang pointed to the four large pots and said: "This is where our family spends the most money. There are four large pots. The vegetables are stewed in the kitchen. After they are stewed, they are brought out and placed here. The eldest sister is responsible for selling them."
Lao Tan asked: "Who is responsible for cooking in the kitchen?"
"There are four cooks, one of whom is responsible for one."
“It’s pretty good too.”
The two finally came to Tofu Fang.
"My cousin and my cousin's husband are the ones who make tofu." Wang Gang said: "Two tofus a day, one at noon and one in the evening. During the meal, we brought the donkey in and the donkey was grinding. It was novel. Many guests came to see it, holding their mobile phones.
Photograph."
"It's really good." Lao Tan nodded.
"Our tofu nao and water tofu are sold very fast, every day. It's novel. Watching the little donkey grinding and making it on site, people can rest assured and order it table by table. Some people think that the freshly made tofu is good, so they just buy a piece to take home.
"
"Ours is pure marinated tofu. It's delicious and can't be bought in the market."
"Yes, our tofu is delicious."
After getting familiar with everything, the two of them found a place to sit down in the hall.
Wang Gang said: "Our kitchen is generally like this, and you have seen it. How can I say that it is more than better than the best. The boss used to open a restaurant and made some money. This time he invested all his money here. I think
Let's do a big job. As you can see, the business is not ideal, which makes the boss very worried. Isn't this just the end of the new year? In the off-season, the boss wants to take care of himself.
Let me tell you, Master Tan, I can do the work, and I can manage more than ten people. This big kitchen has never been renovated before, and there are no routines. I am confused. When you come, feel free to do it. I promise to cooperate with you. Who is the kitchen brother?
If you don't obey, you don't have to come forward. Just tell me and I will deal with him. Others are not afraid of these boys, but they are afraid of me."
Lao Tan asked: "How is the overall level of our chefs?"
"To be honest, they are not very good at cooking. Generally speaking, Li Xu, Li Zhongqing, and Li Huaqing are good at cooking, but nothing else is good. I am not very good at cooking, and I can't take care of them. You are here this time, master, to take care of them."
They." Wang Gang said sincerely.
"Neither can I." Lao Tan smiled.
"Better than me, I'm from Tuba Road, unlike you who have a professional background. It's okay for me to run a small restaurant, but this big restaurant is just to put ducks on the shelves. It's impossible if you don't put them on the shelves, there is no one. I used to find two head chefs
, it doesn’t work, what you say is awesome, but it doesn’t mean anything when you do it.
Let me tell you, Master Tan, I am a practical person and I look down on those scumbags who are awesome and lightning fast. It seems that they are so capable that even the provincial capital cannot recruit them. They are all in this industry. Who doesn’t know who is who?
"Looking at our kitchen being inconspicuous, ordinary people can't really do it. I'm the one looking for it. If I don't say anything, no one can do it." Wang Gang said.
Lao Tan understood the meaning behind Wang Gang's words. It was obvious that if he wanted to work here, he had to have a good relationship with him first. If he didn't, he would definitely not be able to do it.
This can be understood from two aspects. On the one hand, Wang Gang has been working with the boss for ten years. He used to be in charge of the kitchen and made great contributions. Now that the store is bigger, I find someone else to manage it, and the salary is higher than myself, which makes me feel a little unbalanced.
On the other hand, it can be said that Wang Gang is responsible for the hotel and the boss. Although he lacks ability, he will not leave the kitchen in the hands of a gimmick. He has to think about the hotel and check for the boss.
They are all in this business, Lao Tan understands, and no one wants to give up the country they have worked so hard to give to others. He is a good example. He spent three years building Qinghua Pavilion into a first-class coastal restaurant. How did it end up being?
It's not a good feeling to leave the show sadly.
At this time, Mr. Xu pushed the door in from the outside and saw Lao Tan and Wang Gang. He came over to say hello and said to Lao Tan: "Master Tan, come upstairs with me first."
Lao Tan followed Mr. Xu to the office on the fourth floor and sat down. Mr. Xu asked: "Master Tan, did Wang Gang show you the kitchen?"
"See." Lao Tan said.
"How do you feel? Are you confident?"
Lao Tan said with a smile: "As long as your boss doesn't relax, your employees will always have confidence."
"I like to hear this." Mr. Xu smiled, and then said: "Let's set the salary at 7,000 as we discussed yesterday. You take Wang Gang to manage it and bring him out. The rules and regulations of the kitchen, process standards,
You are responsible for making the dish structure, implementing Wuchang management, and creating corporate culture. Is that okay?"
Lao Tan laughed, thinking that Wang Gang said that the boss was a person who was reluctant to spend money. It seemed like this was true. He was using himself as the CEO.
Said to Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, what you hired is not the head chef, but the CEO."
"Is it difficult?" Mr. Xu asked.
"What do you think?" Lao Tan asked back.
"I support you and will back you up."
Lao Tan said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'll straighten out the kitchen first and then think about other things."
Mr. Xu also felt that he was a little anxious and said, "Okay, I'm a little anxious."
Through yesterday's exchange, he felt that Lao Tan was a talented person. He had managed Linjiangxuan and Qinghua Pavilion, especially Qinghua Pavilion, and did a very good job. Many catering people went to inspect and learn from it.
He hoped that people in Guandong would do the same.
So I asked Lao Tan to take Wang Gang with him. After he was brought out, Wang Gang was still in charge of the kitchen. Lao Tan implemented all the rules and regulations, process standards, dish structure, and Wuchang management of the entire hotel, and at the same time created a corporate culture.
Of course he knows that these are the jobs of the CEO, but he doesn't want to spend more money on personnel. What needs to be solved now is how to start a business. As long as he makes money, he can consider anything.
"Master Tan, do you think it's normal for our house to sell for too much money?" Mr. Xu asked.
"According to the size of our family, one and a half million a month is normal." Lao Tan replied.
Mr. Xu's eyes lit up and he said: "Master Tan, if our house sells for 1.5 million, I will give you an additional 1,000 yuan in salary."
Lao Tan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Mr. Xu said: "Master Tan, Wang Gang has been working with me for ten years. We have nothing to say. We are like buddies. You should take care of him more. He is a good person, but he has a bad temper and is a bit petty. You are older than him."
, don’t take this seriously.”
Lao Tan smiled and nodded.
"I don't often go into the kitchen, but I know everything about it. He hired most of the people in the kitchen, and he is a good talker in the kitchen. No one may listen to you when you first start working, but it won't matter. You are an old chef now.
, with so many years of management experience, he should be able to settle this matter."
Lao Tan nodded, he still had some confidence.
"Wang Gang may feel unbalanced. Your salary is higher than his, and he looks angry. Needless to say, I know how petty he is. I'll give him a raise when the time comes. He's more protective, so think about it before you move him.
, his people should try not to move, otherwise they won't be able to get into trouble with you.
The two brothers Li Zhongqing in the kitchen, Xu Jun who cooks fish, Xiao Zhou who cooks cold dishes, and Yuan Hua who owns the cutting board, these are not his people. You should first establish a good relationship with these people and cultivate your own people. I know this after working in restaurants for many years.
What's the kitchen like? It's hard to talk and work without someone of your own."
"That's what happened." Lao Tan said.
"None of this is a problem to you. As long as you have your head and three axes turned, everyone will see that this chef is really good. He will be convinced no matter what he says. Even Wang Gang will be convinced."
"I try my best."
Mr. Xu called Zhang Juan from the office and asked him to apply for Lao Tan's employment. He also asked him to give Lao Tan a laptop and prepare an office.
After finishing the administrative work at eleven o'clock, Lao Tan changed into his work clothes and walked into the kitchen and started to work.
