The story of a cook

Chapter 334

Mr. Huo would come to the restaurant every day. He was a man of no airs. When he came to the store, he changed into his work clothes and did everything. Sometimes he would help the waiters mop the floor. All the employees had a very good impression of him.

Mr. Huo likes to drink, he drinks a lot, and even officials drink a lot.When building the kitchen on the third floor, I dealt with Mr. Huo every day, and had a good impression of each other.He loves to drink, and I like to study dishes. Sometimes he asks me to make two small dishes and drink some together in his electrician's room.

Drinkers are like this. After a few glasses of wine, they can talk about everything, and gradually get closer to Mr. Huo.

After solving the issue of refunding the deposit from the front desk guests, and working in the kitchen at night, Mr. Huo called me to the electrician's room. Knowing that he was looking for me for a drink, he explained the kitchen affairs and went to the electrician's room.

The food and drink have been served.The dishes are jelly skin, sauced beef, a mixed dry tofu, a plate of fried dumplings, good wine, three and a half bottles, brought back by Mr. Huo.It is estimated that the leaders did not drink the leftovers from the wine bureau.

We both always drank leftovers, which he brought back.

Mr. Huo said: "There are quite a lot of guests today."

I said, "Well, the private rooms are full, and the dishes are pretty good. Thirty plates of sea cucumbers were sold."

Thirty plates of sea cucumbers cost more than 4000 yuan.

"Recently, customers have reported that our food is better than before." Mr. Huo said happily.

"Well, the quality of the dishes has improved a lot compared to before."

Mr. Huo said: "I called Master Huang just now, but Master Huang didn't drink with us, saying he had something to do when we got home."

"My master doesn't like drinking very much, and he doesn't want to watch me drink or bother me drinking." I said with a smile.

"Master Huang is afraid that you will make a mistake by drinking."

He and Mr. Huo finished one and a half bottles of wine, and poured the second half bottle of wine.

Mr. Huo asked: "Tanzi, did you go to the front desk to resolve the customer complaint today?"

I said, "Well, it's not a big deal."

"I heard about it." Mr. Huo said, and then asked me: "What do you think of Manager Guo?"

"Mr. Huo, let's drink and not talk about others."

"Tan Zi, there are no outsiders here, just the two of us, tell us your opinion, it's okay."

"Mr. Huo, didn't you say that we drink and don't talk about work? Today you broke the rules." I laughed.

"It's okay if we don't talk about it. If this goes on like this, what kind of store will our family become? The fast store will bully customers." Mr. Huo said, a little worried at the same time.

Seeing what he said, I know what I have to say today.

"If a restaurant wants to develop in a healthy way, it is not enough to care about the dishes. You know this better than me. The service in the front is also very important. This is the sum of the two, and they are indispensable."

Mr. Huo said: "Yes, you said that our dumpling restaurant is the earliest opened in our provincial capital, and it is quite famous. Our dumplings are not only the best, but they are almost the same. It has been 20 years now, and we have opened two stores in 20 years , the Sanjing Street one, our Dadongmen one, look at their 'Blue and White Pavilion', which opened more than ten years later than ours, and now they have more than 30 stores."

I said: "I know a little about 'Qinghua Pavilion'. His dumplings are also delicious. I heard that they learned from our family. They repackaged them after they went back. Now they are indeed better than ours. His family's I introduced a few chefs, and now they are all head chefs. Our family is incomparable with others. They run the store with a developmental perspective. To put it bluntly, Mr. Huo, don't be angry, our family is fighting for relationships."

"Yes, if you don't tell me, I know that the people in our family are well-known relatives. There are big traps and small circles, and it is difficult to manage. Take the matter of Manager Guo today as an example. Not too much."

"It's up to you to be the boss. As a cook, I just cook."

Mr. Huo said: "It's our boss's business, so we want to dismiss Manager Guo."

I said, "Before I can be dismissed, a new manager must replace me. I can't do without a manager."

Mr. Huo said: "I won't tell you about this, I want you to find one."

I said, "Mr. Huo, you think too highly of me. I don't know the manager."

"Tan Zi, don't rush to say that you don't know each other. My third brother, the chairman, and I have communicated about this matter today. We are going to find a front desk manager to replace Manager Guo, and let Manager Guo take care of the guest rooms. She doesn't need to take care of the restaurant. Already." Mr. Huo said.

It seems that they are now determined to remove Manager Guo from the position of manager.

I said, "That's fine. The new front office manager knows that Manager Guo used to be in charge of the front office. I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. Manager Guo is very nice, but he just likes to complain."

"That's okay. The chairman will be back soon. When the time comes, the chairman will go to work for Manager Guo. She listens to the chairman and is afraid of the chairman."

"I heard that the chairman is very powerful, Mr. Huo, are you also afraid of the chairman at home?" I joked.

Mr. Huo laughed and said, "We don't care about each other. She's busy and I'm busy too. We can't stay together for a few days a year."

"Seeing how tired you rich people are, you might as well live as comfortably as I do."

Mr. Huo said: "If you don't live, you are tired. If you live, you have to do something. Linjiangxuan has been open for so many years, and it is a big or small enterprise. No matter how you say it, you have to do it."

I said: "It depends on what your board of directors decides. I am quite optimistic about Linjiangxuan. It has great potential and background, but it is almost managed."

Mr. Huo said: "This time the chairman came back to solve the management issues and solve them thoroughly."

I said, "That's fine."

Mr. Huo said: "The matter of the front desk manager—"

I said, "I'll look for it, and when I find it, talk to her, and if it suits you, use it, if it doesn't suit you, don't use it."

Mr. Huo said, "Okay, you can help me find it."

When Mr. Huo asked me to find a front office manager, I thought of Zhang Li. Zhang Li is qualified to be the front office manager, just considering the current situation of Linjiangxuan and Zhang Li——
Needless to say, Linjiangxuan, the relationship is complicated and not easy to manage.It's just that Zhang Li is a woman, to be honest, I'm still a little scared. As the saying goes, love grows after a long time. After working with her for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be communication. If one day I can't control myself, it will be ruined.

The next day, I told my master about drinking with Mr. Huo, and also about Mr. Huo asking me to help find the manager.Master said to wait and see what the third boss said.

During the lunch break, Master and I were about to sleep in the room when the third boss opened the door and came in.

Master said, "I'm back."

The third boss said: "I'm back. There's something bad about BJ's side. I'll be back after finishing it. It was twelve o'clock when I got off the train last night."

"You are busy enough." Master said.

"It's all busy, nothing serious, how are you doing these two days? It's all okay."

"It's fine, nothing happened."

The third boss said: "These little bastards are still obedient."

The master said, "It's not bad, everyone is quite obedient."

"I know, these bastards are all spoiled here, and they are full of problems. Brother, you don't have to spoil them, just say what you want, and if you don't obey, you can just drive home." The third boss said.

"They are all obedient." Master said, "Besides, they are young, they are still children."

The third boss said: "They know everything, they just pretend to be confused, don't give them a good face, use it if it can be used, and open it if it can't be used. This kitchen should be tidy."

"Now it's not much better than before, don't worry, take your time, a well can't be dug with a shovel."

The third boss smiled and said, "Yes, I can rest assured that my brother is here."

The master asked: "Mr. Huo went to find Xiao Tanzi yesterday and asked Xiao Tanzi to help him find a front desk manager. Do you know about this?"

"I know, this matter was decided by me, Mr. Huo, and Mu Na. We plan to transfer Manager Guo to the guest room department, and then find a manager to manage the restaurant." The third boss said: "Manager Guo can't manage the restaurant. Take yesterday's incident as an example, if Xiao Tanzi doesn't go, it won't necessarily make her look like a grandpa or grandma."

"Do you mean you want to take care of this restaurant?"

The third boss said: "We have to take good care of this restaurant. That's what I mean by inviting you here. Our first step is to prepare the dishes. Now that the dishes are almost finished, they all agree that they have made more money than before, and they can't tell." What's the matter, the second step is to put together the front desk, and it won't work if the front desk is not closed."

Master said: "In the past, Manager Guo directly communicated with the chairman, and the chairman was responsible for everything. Now he looks for the manager. Who does the manager communicate with when he comes? Who is responsible? Who will he greet when he starts work? You are not here every day. , who will be in charge here then? You can’t even have a person in charge, how can you let people carry out their work?”

It's still a seasoned master, I didn't expect these problems.

The third boss said: "Now my second brother doesn't care about things, he doesn't care about anything, just waiting for the dividend. The boss doesn't care, just like the second, waiting for the dividend. I'm not always here every day, brother, you know me, Call me Zhang Luo to do things, I can't do specific work, and the chairman is not always at home, everything will be decided by Mr. Huo in the future, he will preside over the work, and you can just ask him for anything."

The master said: "Mr. Huo has to go to work every day. He doesn't have time to take care of these things. I think it's better for you to find a general manager and give the power to the general manager. He is responsible for everything, which is better than everything else."

The third boss said: "It's not that you don't know about my family's affairs. It's hard to fix it. It's good to find a general manager, but it's hard to find this person."

Master said: "I'm just a suggestion, you can figure it out for yourself. If our family doesn't reform a bit in terms of management, it will continue like this, and it won't be troublesome."

The third boss said: "No brother, you can be the general manager."

The master smiled and said, "I'm getting older, and I still want to live a leisurely life for two days. Don't talk about it anymore. Besides, I won't be the production director."

"What's the matter? If you don't do it, ask Xiao Tanzi to do it."

"You don't want to think about our father and son. If you have anything to do, you can ask our father and son for advice. Don't do official work. We are here to cook and earn money with our wrists."

The third boss said: "Look, brother, your temper is coming again." Then he asked: "I heard that brother has returned to China."

The master said: "I'm back, come back and have a look. I came over for dinner two days ago."

The third boss said: "No way, call the eldest brother over today and treat him to a meal. I haven't seen you for almost 20 years."

"It's only been a few days since he finished eating, and he won't be able to stay for a few days when he comes back. He wants to visit everywhere. When he goes back, I will call him and see him off," the master said.

The third boss said: "That's fine too, brother, you arrange it, and then tell me, how many years old buddy."

The third boss chatted with the master for a while, and then left,

After the third boss left, the master said to me: "Xiao Tanzi, if you have a manager you know, introduce one. If the three bosses have spoken, it is their decision. It has nothing to do with us to do what their boss likes. They are here to do the work, just do the work well. Remember Xiao Tanzi, you can’t throw away the spoon at any time, that’s the way we are the breadwinners.”

I said, "Well, I know."

The master said: "Three years of severe drought, it is the cook who survives starvation. Although we cooks can't be rich and powerful, we can support our families. There is nothing wrong with doing a good job and being a good person."
