The story of a cook

Chapter 336 Zhang Li's Interview

Mr. Huo came over from get off work in the evening and told him to find a front desk manager.

Tell him briefly about Zhang Li's situation, let him choose whether or not.

Mr. Huo listened to my introduction and said, "Tan Zi, can I contact her now?"

I said, "I can contact you." Then I asked, "You want to see me now?"

"I still have to go to work during the day. If I don't have time, I have some time at night."

"Okay, let me get in touch."

Call Zhang Li and ask her if she can meet Mr. Huo now, Zhang Li said yes, and asked where to meet, I asked Mr. Huo where to meet, Mr. Huo said to drive to meet her, I told Zhang Li in the product Just wait, Mr. Huo and I will go over.

Put down the phone, make arrangements for the kitchen, and then drive back to Santaizi with Mr. Huo to meet Zhang Li.

When I got a sip, it was about the same time as yesterday, and it was after eight o'clock.

Zhang Li is here, and Li Shuang is also here. It is estimated that they are together today.After introducing Mr. Huo to Zhang Li and Li Shuang, the three of them sat down after shaking hands and getting to know each other.

I said to Mr. Huo: "Mr. Huo, try his roast leg of lamb. It's delicious. His family is a must. Many people take a taxi to eat it."

"I've heard about it too, but I just haven't had time to come here. Today is just a chance to try it." Mr. Huo said.

Catering people may not pay much attention to other things. If anyone’s food is delicious, they will be the first to know, and they must taste it before they are reconciled. This is also a common problem of catering people.

You have to drink to eat roast leg of lamb, I asked: "Is it white or beer today?"

Mr. Huo said: "Let's drink white. If you don't want to drink beer, you have to drink white if you eat roast leg of lamb."

I said, "Okay, drink white."

Mr. Huo said, "Some beer for the two ladies."

"They also drink white." I said, "Mr. Huo, don't underestimate them. Both of them can drink a lot, and they can drink better than the two of us."

Mr. Huo was a little surprised, and said, "Really, okay, today I met a hero from a female high school."

Li Shuang went over to bring the wine and poured it for everyone.

Huo always met Zhang Li and Li Shuang for the first time, and also interviewed Zhang Li. I was the middleman, so I had to talk.

"Let's have a glass of familiar wine first."

The four of us toasted and took a sip.

The leg of lamb was also served, followed by some skewers, and everyone chatted while eating.

I first said: "Mr. Huo, Manager Zhang, we have worked together in Laohan Villa. I was the head chef at Laohan Villa, and she was the front desk manager. She did a very good job." Then I looked at Li Shuang and said, "Li Shuang also Now in Laohan Villa, he is Manager Zhang’s partner, and he is the head of the floor, and his job is also very good, and he is very capable.”

After listening to my introduction, Mr. Huo asked Zhang Li: "Manager Zhang, Mr. Tan also told you about my family's situation. How do you feel?"

Zhang Li said: "I think our family is very good. Master Tan introduced some of our family's situation to me. In addition, our Linjiangxuan is also one of the best restaurants in the provincial capital, and it is a leader in the catering industry. Everyone knows." Said To be honest, I feel that our family’s development speed is not fast. This may be related to our overall planning and strategy. The family has a great potential for development. At the same time, our dumplings are very recognized by the common people. The word Linjiangxuan is well-known to the common people in the provincial capital. We have such a good background and excellent technology. I think it only represents me personally. From a point of view, the speed of development is indeed a bit slow, and it has not been able to seize the opportunity in the dumpling market.”

After Zhang Li said these words, I looked at her with admiration.

"You're right. Slow development is our family's shortcoming." Mr. Huo nodded.

Zhang Li said: "The development of an enterprise first depends on whether it has excellent products, and then whether it has effective management. Both are indispensable. If I am not wrong, what our family lacks now is management. Down to the management. Our family’s business is very good now, but we can’t open branches or expand our business. The problem should be in the top and middle management.”

What Zhang Li said hit the nail on the head.

"Manager Zhang, can you be more specific." Mr. Huo said with fiery eyes.

Zhang Li smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Let me toast you first." Zhang Li said to Mr. Huo with a smile.

Mr. Huo was just about to hear Zhang Li continue talking, but he didn't expect Zhang Li to stop.

"Don't respect, let's drink together."

Zhang Li and Mr. Huo clinked glasses, each took a sip, and Li Shuang and I also took a sip.

Zhang Li put down her wine glass and glanced at me with a smile. I looked at her appreciatively.

"If you want to be more specific, I didn't go to our house to work, so I don't know the actual situation, so I can't say much. From a management point of view, this situation is nothing more than two points. The first is that the high-level decision-making is not clear and unified. , there is super internal friction in the enterprise, so that all the staff's attention is not on the goal of progress, but on negative wrangling and wait-and-see; the second is that the middle management has no work purpose and works blindly. Not only is it very tiring, but also has to deal with the high-level There is no practical management at work, causing employees to work passively without any enthusiasm at all.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Huo applauded.

"That's wonderful, Manager Zhang, I've been taught."

Zhang Li glanced at me, which meant I didn't embarrass you, so I nodded with a smile.

"Boss Huo praised me. The main thing is that I have a good master, and the master teaches well."

"Who is your master?" Mr. Huo asked.

"I learned all this from Master Tan. I'm not good at management. In the past few years, Master Tan took me and brought me out bit by bit."

I smiled wryly, and gave Zhang Li a helpless look. If I had this ability, I would have been great by now.

Mr. Huo looked at me curiously and said, "Tan Zi, you didn't say that you introduced your apprentice."

"Mr. Huo, do you think I can be her master?" I said, "You didn't see that she retaliated against me there."

Mr. Huo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what happened to you two, but what Manager Zhang said is indeed right. Our family just has a management problem."

"It's hard to get back." I said: "Mr. Huo, you are a person who does things, and I support you."

"Tanzi, you, and Master Huang, our family has changed so much after you two returned to Linjiangxuan. My third brother, the chairman and I have the confidence to think about it after seeing these changes. The restaurant needs to be tidied up, now we have you and Master Huang in the kitchen, we can rest assured, this time you introduced Manager Zhang to me, we will be more confident."

Mr. Huo seemed a little excited.

I said, "Boss Huo was joking, we still have to listen to you about how Linjiangxuan develops."

"Our family is short of management talents like Manager Zhang." Mr. Huo said, "Manager Zhang, when do you think you can go to work? What are your requirements?"

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Boss Huo decided so quickly, we won't investigate."

Mr. Huo said: "I trust Tan Zi, his introduction can't be wrong."

"I believe Master Tan is right, he is our boss, we are all brought out by him." Li Shuang said.

I couldn't help but smile, I guess it was Zhang Li and her who colluded before Mr. Huo and I came.

Mr. Huo looked at me suspiciously, and then said: "Tan Zi, it's your fault, you don't introduce me to such a good person, it seems that we haven't had enough wine yet, come on, let's have a drink. "

I had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and touch Mr. Huo, and we drank the wine together.

See me and Mr. Huo having sex, Zhang Li and Li Shuang also drank the wine.

Li Shuang stood up and poured wine, starting with Mr. Huo, and said to Mr. Huo when pouring the wine: "Mr. Huo, at first glance, you are a successful person, and you feel mature and stable. Since Zhang Li is gone, we have to stop me."

Mr. Huo asked, "Are you not at work now?"

Zhang Li said: "She is not at work now, and has been working with me on the floor. She is very capable in management, especially in mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees."

Mr. Huo asked Li Shuang: "Then how can you mobilize the enthusiasm of the employees now?"

Li Shuang filled everyone's wine and sat down.

"This is easy to handle. As the saying goes, "The fast running of the train depends on the headband". To motivate employees, you must first have an incentive policy suitable for the hotel. This is the foundation. Without incentives, there will be no excellent employees. Good employees will not have good service, including the kitchen, good employees are motivated, not by management or fines.”

"Those who are fined and fined for running are all excellent, and those who are left behind are fuckers; secondly, and most importantly, there must be a leader who is passionate and can also play a leading role. Really implement it and stimulate the enthusiasm of employees."

Mr. Huo said: "That's the case, can you be more specific, or give me an example to illustrate."

Li Shuang asked: "Mr. Huo, can I think you are taking an exam?"

Mr. Huo said: "It's not an exam. Let's discuss it. I don't know much about front desk management. I will ask you for advice."

Li Shuang said: "It's still a boss who can talk, and it's comfortable to listen to. Mr. Huo, you are really amazing."

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "You are also good at talking."

Li Shuang said: "To give a simple example, take the waiter cleaning up. Everyone is cleaning up. The result of cleaning up is guaranteed to be different. Some meet the standard, and some will have flaws. For those who meet the standard, we generally In some cases, it is verbal praise or no praise, and for flaws, we criticize and impose fines."

Mr. Huo nodded in agreement.

"Many managers like to criticize people, love to catch the shortcomings of employees, and they will not let them go, and they will not let them go. They will criticize and reprimand severely. It seems that no one will know that they are managers if they don't let themselves show off. In this way There is only one result, that is, employees obviously want to do a good job, but they don’t have the heart to do it. If they are in a hurry, they will leave the job and work everywhere.

"This is also one of the reasons for the high turnover of hotel personnel. In fact, we can manage in a different way. We don't look at the places where the employees do not do well, but the places where they do well, and the places where they do well. Incentives. For example, the waiter did not meet the standard in cleaning the countertops, but she did a good job cleaning the floor. We can give her a thumbs up and tell her that the floor cleaning is in place and amazing. If we clean up the countertops Clean it up, sister, you will be even better. Don't worry, when we finish this sentence, you don't need to say, she will take the initiative to clean up the countertop to ensure that it meets the standard and can last keep it up."

"Yes, you're right, that's what happened." Mr. Huo agreed.

Li Shuang said: "Actually, my management used to yell and scold people, with a loud voice, just yelling. Once, Master Tan told me, look, which store manager became the manager because of his loud voice. Think about ourselves when we were young, sometimes After our parents praised us for doing something right, are we overjoyed? We still do it that way, and every time we do it, we think of what it was like when our parents praised us, and we feel very happy , Right. We haven’t changed much about the things that our parents and we yelled about, and sometimes we do it on purpose. So it’s better to say that it doesn’t matter, and it’s better to boast than anything else. Master Tan It is said that good children are praised and good employees are motivated, I remember this very clearly.”

She looked at me a little eagerly when she finished.

I did say these words to Li Shuang when I was in Laohan Mountain Villa, but I didn't expect her to use them here today, she is very smart.

After Li Shuang finished speaking, Zhang Li said to me very rationally: "Okay, Old Tan, I didn't expect you to teach Li Shuang behind your back. Why don't you teach me? I have never heard of this."

"I forgot when I said it." I said.

"You're right, I didn't expect to find two talents at once today." Mr. Huo said.

"It's not two, it's three, and there's another one who didn't come today." Li Shuang said.

"There's another one? Why didn't you call them together?" Mr. Huo asked.

"Her home is far away from here. Besides, we are not sure about it. We don't know if you are in love with us. I'm sorry, Mr. Huo." Li Shuang said quickly.

Mr. Huo smiled, and said to Zhang Li: "Let's do this, Manager Zhang." Then he looked at Li Shuang, "Isn't Li Shuang—"

"Yes, my name is Li Shuang."

"Let's make it like this. You will come to Linjiangxuan tomorrow and observe for two days first. I have decided to hire you. It depends on whether you think our house is suitable. If you observe Linjiangxuan for two days and think Linjiangxuan is okay, then we will Let's work together, okay?" Mr. Huo said politely.

"Okay, let's get used to each other in this way. Today we just meet and get to know each other. What we talk about is all on paper. The work still depends on the actual operation." Zhang Li said, and then asked: "I want to ask Mr. Huo, you Look, Li Shuang and I both live in Santaizi, quite far from Linjiangxuan, if we officially work there, it will be inconvenient to run back and forth, do we have a dormitory?"

Mr. Huo said: "Don't worry about this. Our family has a separate room for the managers. There are few female managers. She is alone. Now she lives there by herself. When you go, you can live there. The conditions are okay. There is a separate bathroom and a shower, so you can take a hot bath when you are tired after work.”

"It's enough to have a place to live." Zhang Li explained: "It's too far away, it's inconvenient to go back and forth. If it's not far away, we will live at home." Then she said: "The rest is what I heard about our Linjiangxuan. The salary is not very high, I wonder how much Mr. Huo is going to give us two a month?"

Mr. Huo looked at me, meaning to ask how much I would give.

I said, "You can discuss the salary issue yourself, and I will not participate."

Mr. Huo asked Zhang Li: "Manager Zhang, how much do you think?"

Zhang Li asked: "May I ask, how much is the head chef?"

"four thousand."

"Mr. Huo, do you think I'm worth four thousand?" Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Well, let's make an agreement, the basic salary is [-]." Then he turned to Li Shuang and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm not worth four thousand. I know this. My salary is the same as your chef's salary. If Mr. Huo can find me a good husband's family there, I don't need money. It's for nothing!"

After speaking, everyone laughed.
