The story of a cook

Chapter 286 Kitchen Staff Formation
When I came to Laohan Villa, Mr. Wang had already arrived, and he was talking with the decoration workers on the spot. It seemed that the decoration workers said that it would be difficult to do without drawings. thing.Mr. Wang said, just do what she said, and there will be no mistakes.

After a while Mr. Wang came over.

Mr. Wang complained: "The headquarters called it so and so, and didn't even give me a blueprint. I just said it and said it was wrong. If I listen to them, I won't be able to finish it for another two months. It's the fucking New Year. , is it still open?" Then he continued: "I can't listen to them now, just follow my ideas, just make it look like a mountain villa, a place to eat is almost enough, if it's all done according to their ideas It’s a lot of money, and they don’t pay a penny, and they just stand and talk without back pain.”

I smiled and said nothing, we can't comment on this matter.

Mr. Wang went on to say: "Master Tan, you don't know. When I first rented this house, I didn't plan to cooperate with them. It was their villa who approached me and wanted to cooperate with me. I think Liu Laohan's TV series is very popular. The form of "Laohan Villa" is also good, so I plan to cooperate with them. I will sell the house, and they will provide management and operation, and the money will be divided in half. Isn't that good? Later they said that the villa is going to be a national chain, and there are quite a few The local area is talking to them about franchising, and the ones in Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Jilin are all talking to them, saying that they are going to let them join, and this is our first branch."

I asked, "How much is the joining fee?"

"One hundred thousand, you told me so, that our family is the first, and the franchise fee is less, 8 yuan."

"Twenty thousand cheaper."

Mr. Wang said: "What's cheap? The wool comes from the sheep. We have to pay for it. They also like our place. It has a single family and a courtyard, which is big enough and just meets the requirements of their villa. Where can we find this place in our provincial capital?" .”

I said, "Yes, our place is pretty good, it's just a restaurant."

Mr. Wang said: "It stands to reason that I have the final say on what to do with the rest after I paid the franchise fee, and I can do whatever I want. This is my own store. They are in charge of everything now, and everything has to be up to them. If you come to the request, you can’t do it at all.”

It seems that Mr. Wang is very angry.

"I asked them for blueprints from the beginning of the renovation, and I haven't given them up to now. If you don't give the blueprints, I will do what I want. If it is not up to standard, if I have to do what they want, I will ask them to pay. I only care about recruiting people, if they don’t pay, then do what I want, if you’re too impatient, don’t join them and drive them out.”

Mr. Wang said bitterly.

I asked: "Mr. Wang, have you paid the franchise fee?"

Mr. Wang said: "I have, but not all. I have given half first, [-]."

"How long has it been remodeling?"

"It's been almost two months, otherwise the work would have been over early. Their headquarters either said it couldn't be done, or they said it couldn't be done, and they didn't say that they would come over to direct them personally. They just asked you to do it. I’m so mad.” Mr. Wang said, “If you talk about such a thing, you’re just looking down on us because you’re a big group, as if we’re taking advantage of them by cooperating with them. You didn’t give me a hard look, just a quick look I did everything."

I said: "Mr. Wang, there is no reason to be angry. This will be over soon. It is a big deal for us to open the business as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'm always in a hurry." Mr. Wang said.

"Mr. Wang, is that friend of yours coming today?" I asked, and then said, "A cold dish chef and a pastry are here today, and you can take a look when the time comes."

Mr. Wang said: "Okay, my friend will come over in a while, and you two will meet after he comes." Then he said: "Master Tan, you can decide on the kitchen. I don't know much about it."

I said: "Mr. Wang, we need to discuss something in advance. The Chinese New Year is only two and a half months away. It will take one month at the earliest for our house to open. We can't open now. The kitchen staff is fully stocked and we can't open for business." How do you pay people with time? If you don’t prepare all the people to support them now, it’s hard to find someone when it’s about to open. Everyone has to go home for the New Year. They are not short of a month, and they don’t want to find a job to go to work, so We have to find people to raise them now."

Mr. Wang said: "I know this. Not only your kitchen is like this, but also the front desk. It will be the most difficult time to find someone in another month. Now we have to find someone. After we find a good person, we have to support them if we don't open the business." Then Said to me: "Master Tan, you should find someone to find someone. We have a place to eat, live, and wait for the salary to be opened at 70.00%. Do you think it will work?"

I said, "That's fine. At least we give them a guarantee that they can stay. The rest is for us to speed up the decoration and open the business as soon as possible."

"Yes, I am more anxious than you, and I am almost dying of anxiety."

"I'm in a hurry. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we have to open before the Chinese New Year, because the Chinese New Year is the peak season, and there are many people eating, especially our house is newly opened, and the place is still big. You can watch Errenzhuan while eating. When the time comes Guests are indispensable, and they can earn a lot of money during the Chinese New Year.” I said.

"That's not."

"Mr. Wang, I was introduced by Sister Wu. Since I have taken over our kitchen, you can rest assured that I will try my best to do it well." I said, "There is nothing wrong with doing work, that's what I do, but brother It's also a breadwinner, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, let's fix my salary."

You have to negotiate the salary first, and you can't work in vain.

Mr. Wang said: "Sister Wu introduced your situation to me. I believe I can't go wrong with the person she is optimistic about. In addition, I have been in contact with you for the past two days. I see that you are also a beneficial person. The salary between me and Sister Wu is three. Qian, do you think Master Tan is okay?" Mr. Wang said.

"Okay, just have a number."

Three thousand is also my psychological expectation.

Mr. Wang said: "That can't be too little. When you don't pay 70.00% of your salary, it will be [-]% when you decorate."

Although Wang is always a woman, she speaks and does things more readily than men.

"Okay, then let's make a deal."

After finalizing the salary and arrangement of the kitchen staff with Mr. Wang, she went to work on her work, and I went to the kitchen to have a look.

At ten o'clock, the noodles introduced by the second and fourth children arrived.

The surname of the pastry that the fourth child is looking for is Huang, who is older than me. She is called Sister Huang. She has been making pastry and is very experienced.

He led the second child and sister Huang to the kitchen to look around, and told them about work.Then I asked Sister Huang: "Sister Huang, how are you doing, are you okay?"

Sister Huang said, "Okay, it's pretty good."

"If you think it's okay, let's work together." I said, "Look, what do you want?"

Sister Huang said: "There is no requirement, but this job cannot be done by one person, two people are needed."

I said: "Yes, one person can't do it, two people are needed, you have to find another younger brother to do it with you."

Sister Huang said: "It's hard to find people now. Those who are working can't come down, and those who are down don't want to work anymore. There are two months left for the Chinese New Year, and they are going to go home for the New Year. They don't want to work." Then she said: "Look at this place. It is guaranteed that there will be no holidays during the Chinese New Year, and we must operate normally, and no one likes to come.”

"Yes, it's just here, there's no way, try to find it." I said.

Sister Huang said: "In the past, there was one who followed me. I asked her if she would do it." Then she asked me: "Master Tan, how much is our salary?"

I asked, "How much do you do elsewhere?"

Ms. Huang said: "It costs me 800 yuan to do it elsewhere."

I said, "We'll give you nine hundred, do you think it's okay?"

Sister Huang said: "Okay, but I think it's still under renovation, and it won't be open for a while, and we can't afford to wait."

"That's okay. I've negotiated with the boss. Before the opening, there will be wages, and they will be paid at 70.00% of the normal wages." I said.

"That's okay. If you don't pay wages, no one will do it."

The second child said: "Yes, if you come here at this time and you don't get paid, you have to wait another month. Even if you have food and housing, no one will do it. It's hard to find someone after a month. They all go home for the New Year. "

I say yes."

Mr. Wang's chef friend also came over, just in time for everyone to get to know each other.

Introduced Sister Huang and the second child to Mr. Wang, and at the same time told Mr. Wang about their salaries, and Mr. Wang agreed.After everyone got to know each other, President Wang went to work on his own affairs, and I chatted with them for a while.

Mr. Wang's chef friend is surnamed Hou, who works as the head chef in a hotel. He is between 35 and [-] years old, older than me, and he is also very handsome and looks like a chef.It can be seen that if Sister Wu hadn't introduced me to be the head chef, Wang would always have prepared him to be the head chef.

It doesn't matter who is the head chef. Now that he has taken over, he will enter the working state and start working.

First, the four of us have a small meeting.

I said: "Since everyone is here, it is fate for us to get together. It is a very proud thing to take over the first branch of Laohan Villa in the country. Let's make a good use of it. Now that the boss has built the platform, just wait Let's sing an opera, we have to sing this opera well."

In fact, there should be applause here, but there is no applause, hey, hey, sad.

I went on to say: "Since it's called Laohan Villa, our dishes can't be made into hotel dishes. They have to be close to farm dishes and home-cooked dishes, so as to have the atmosphere of the villa, so our dishes have to rely on farm dishes. Let's take the staple food. Said, we have to put cornmeal pancakes, vegetable dumplings, sorghum rice water rice, and other cold dishes to serve some farmhouse dipping pickles, stewed pig's head, hand-cracked liver and so on. Dishes depend on what the common people love to eat, and dishes like celery and snow peas cannot be served, which is not in line with the villa."

"In this way, today is the first day we came here. I told everyone about the dishes. Everyone has a good idea. When we go back, we will sort out our dishes and put them together. Let's meet tomorrow. Today's main task is to get familiar with the working environment And equipment and facilities, check the tools and equipment to see if they are working well, what is missing, where needs to be improved, where needs to be repaired, where needs to be added, we will fix these today, report to me what needs to be repaired, and I will go to repair Personnel maintenance, what needs to be added, write a list and give it to me, I will go to the boss to apply for purchase. Also, we will start cooking today. I took a look, and there are some raw materials and seasonings in the kitchen, which can be used for cooking. We are not open now , during the preparatory period, we only eat two meals a day, the lunch time is twelve o'clock, and the dinner time is five o'clock, sister Huang is in charge of the staple food, Master Hou is in charge of making a hot dish, and the second brother is in charge of making a cold dish."

"In addition, your own younger brothers need to be equipped by themselves. If you find them, you can come here. We have a place to live here, and you must tell them that the salary is 70.00% before opening."

"That's it, let's act."

The second child went to check his cold dish room, sister Huang went to the pastry room, and Master Hou stayed in the hot dish room to check the stove and equipment.

When I was talking, I saw the expression on Master Hou's face was very rich, and he was very dissatisfied at first glance, and he didn't take me seriously.

Don’t worry about his appearance. I’ve seen many chefs like this, and they’re all like that. As long as you convince him at work, he’ll be honest.
