Chapter 548: Business is like people
There is an old saying that "Business is like people".
This means that doing business is just like living, it all depends on the spirit.
If this energy and tone are exhausted, then there is nothing anyone can do.
The fewer guests there are, the fewer guests there are, the more people there are, and the waiters are lazy.
When fatigue reaches the extreme, it is a scene of decline.
Vice versa.
If there is a business, most employees can work hard and do their jobs well.
Then even a business with a poor foundation can become bigger and stronger.
This is the difference between whether there is enthusiasm for labor, and it is also the principle that one plus one is greater than two.
Unity is strength!
If you don’t believe it, then after Ning Weimin implemented new regulations to eliminate waste and theft.
As long as you walk around the "Altar Palace" and look around, you can easily find that this place is very different from the past.
For example, one afternoon in mid-December, in the restaurant business area before the meal, the waiters were making preparations as usual.
Trays, cloths, menus, and various utensils are in place.
All kinds of wine and glassware are also arranged one by one.
But it is different from the past when these employees only pursued speed and saved trouble.
Everyone is doing the work of setting up the table very carefully and seriously, for fear of breaking anything.
So there is no noise in the restaurant, it looks solemn, cautious and orderly.
The only sound that can spread throughout the restaurant and be heard by everyone.
It was the voice of the foreman in the restaurant who, in order to improve the service level, single-handedly instructed two "specially poor students" on how to "highly support" them correctly.
"Look at my movements, your waist should be straight and your shoulders should be flat! Your eyes should be looking in front and your neck should not be crooked. It was your neck crooked yesterday that caused the things to break. Do you understand?"
The so-called "high support" is to use a tray to hold a few bricks above the shoulders with one hand, and then train the posture of the waist and the stability of walking. If this action is incorrect, you will not be able to walk fast and may easily knock over the items in the tray.
But in the middle of the foreman's teaching, Pan Long and Du Yang came to the restaurant to inspect and supervise.
With a wave of his hand, the foreman had to pause and was called over by Pan Long.
"You must pay more attention to the placement of the ashtrays. At noon, I heard that two ashtrays were knocked off the floor by a guest. This is not okay! Although the porcelain carved from stone is durable, it is a handicraft and may be damaged if it is damaged. It’s useless. They cost eight yuan each.”
“Also, please note that the chopstick holders, toothpick holders and wine glasses are all made of custom-made delicate porcelain, which are too fragile. Sometimes when a guest touches the tablecloth when they leave, the wine glasses will hit the plate and break. Do you understand? "
"We must find a way to prevent this kind of accident, otherwise in a month, we will The cost of reporting damage cannot be reduced..."
After Pan Long inspected the situation of setting up the table, he gave a few special instructions.
The foreman could only say yes repeatedly.
"I have also discussed this matter with everyone. Everyone feels that the best solution is to find someone to remove delicate items such as chopstick holders and wine glasses first when guests pay the bill. Also, everyone I suggest that when serving tea to guests, you should also serve dried fruits, candied fruits and the like. Otherwise, if the amount is different, not only will the guests look at each other awkwardly, but it will also lead to waste.”
Pan Long glanced at the foreman, approvingly, and nodded in affirmation.
“Hey, this is a good suggestion. This is a blind spot that we have ignored in the past. Indeed, if you gather sand to form a tower, a little will make a lot. If you sell ten more pots of tea for one pound of tea, it will be a net profit of thirty yuan. It has a lot of influence. I think I can give it a try..."
And he was also inspired by it.
“Hey, by the way. If you want to put it that way, can we also reduce the number of platters for our pastries by one yuan, so six yuan becomes five yuan for him.”
This time the foreman didn't even have time to speak, so Du Yang nodded.
"Well, your idea is not bad. Our pastries are all small. If we display too few, I'm afraid they won't look good. Five pieces, I think is just right. Four pieces for the bottom and one for display. On top. Everything is stable.”
That’s it, Pan Long and the foreman were both praised.
But as a manager, Pan Long is naturally much more capable than the foreman.
Just after the foreman happily returned to work, he took the initiative to give a very constructive suggestion.
"Mr. Du, isn't it almost New Year's Day? I have been on duty in a restaurant recently, and I can always hear many domestic customers discussing the purchase of New Year's benefits. Some customers are quite regretful, saying that it is a pity for our pea yellow, aiwowo and the like. , the storage time is too short, otherwise it would be good for giving as gifts.”
“I was wondering if Master Luo, who makes Yulu Frost for us, could prepare a batch of palace food. The pastry made by Master Luo in our store is much better than what can be bought outside. The stuff coming out of the oven lasts longer, so we can definitely try to sell it to customers in the restaurant. "
"You see there are not many customers now, and there is Spring Festival after New Year's Day. If we can sell more of these pastries, can't we increase our sales..." Du Yang heard this. , I knew it was a good idea.
This is no longer a simple reduction of expenditure, it is an open source.
He immediately patted Pan Long on the shoulder, praised him twice as hard, and said he would give suggestions to his superiors later.
At this time, Pan Long was happy, quite as happy as a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole.
At the same time, what happened at the back door of the "Altar Palace" was also very different from the past.
Although Jiang Dachun was still responsible for unloading the goods, this time, he unloaded the goods in the car neatly and without missing anything.
But just when Jiang Dachun finished signing the manifest and was about to leave, the delivery driver stopped him.
This man stuck his head out from the cab, handed over a cigarette, and muttered unwillingly.
"Brother, you really don't want to do such a good thing? Don't you think it's a pity if it's rare?"
Jiang Dachun didn't answer it, he pushed the cigarette back directly.
Instead, he raised his thumb and pointed with a wry smile to the security officer guarding the back door three meters behind him.
"Don't hurt me. Did you see that we have a doorkeeper? Let's stop this matter. Haven't we already made it clear?"
The driver didn't take it seriously.
"The door god also has to eat the fireworks of the world. Hey, I have understood it in the past few days. Isn't it just this person? Otherwise, leave him to me to settle it? After one drink, the big deal will be in the future How many people should we share?”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dachun didn’t hesitate at all and shook his head even more like a rattle.
"No, no, things are different now. I can't explain it to you. Anyway, if I do this again, if I fall in the eyes of others, I won't be able to do it at all. I'm sorry, I really can't eat this anymore. I'm sorry, the kitchen is busy, I'll go ahead and wait for you to have a drink..."
He walked into the store door without looking back. Completely wipe out the driver.
Such determination certainly made the driver very unhappy.
As soon as I threw the cigarette butt away, I wanted to shout to him to stop him.
But the security officer's stern eyes happened to look over at this time.
Feeling guilty, the driver smacked his mouth, but in the end he did not open his mouth.
But when I started the car, I finally lost my temper and started mumbling again.
"You are really sick. You can't make any ready money? Are you pretending to be a serious person? Oh, you are still busy? Who doesn't know who it is? Why are you pretending to be active!"
As for the busyness in the kitchen, that's even worse. Incredible.
Green cucumbers, red bell peppers, yellow carrots, purple eggplants, white cauliflower, yellow potatoes...all the fresh and tender decorative foods are placed on the long table as they should be. Location...
In the kitchen, various food ingredients - fish, meat, vegetables, and seasonings are being put on the table one after another, and the chefs are busy nervously.
But the team leaders in the back kitchen meticulously compared the ingredients list with Jiang Dachun.
We all gathered together today, mainly to discuss an issue, that is, what to do with these cut-out scraps.
So Jiang Dachun, he really wasn’t fooling the driver, he really had something important to do.
Lao Cheng spoke first, "Dachun, it would be a pity to just throw away the ingredients for your chopping board that are produced every day. Adding all the meat and vegetables together, it weighs dozens of kilograms every day."
Jiang Dachun scratched his head, "It bothers me that you are talking about this. I just threw it away in the past, but now I feel dizzy looking at it every day. This is only a hundred and ten yuan."
"One day a day 100, I can save 3000 this month. I’ll give it to you and think about it.”
"Master Gu, what are you doing for free? Make some steamed buns, pies, pot stickers, etc., and go out from the dim sum shop, okay? No matter what, you can still make some money."
But Master Gu from Bai An shook his head.
“No, there are so many kinds of scraps. It’s too laborious to sort out, wash them out, and then make various fillings. It’s too busy at all.”
“It has to be mixed together. Well, it saves trouble, but it definitely tastes bad. Plus, it’s not a good ingredient. So how can it be sold?”
“The only way is to fry it. Meatballs. Beat these ingredients together, add pepper and five-spice powder, and fry until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. ”
"Any odors are also covered up. If you just want to separate meat and vegetables, it's not difficult."
Hey, this is a brilliant idea, everyone present approved it!
