The story of a cook

Chapter 559 Start work
At 08:30, when I came to coarse grains, the employees were eating breakfast, so I took a bite by the way.

Yan Li came, saw me and said, "Old Tan, I will prepare an office for you, next to the one I bought, the former financial office."

I said, "No, I don't work in the office either."

"Then there must be an office, come and take a look after dinner," she said.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." I agreed.

It doesn’t matter to me whether I have an office or not. When I was in Linjiangxuan, I had an office. I seldom go to it and spend most of my time in the kitchen.Onsite management is the best, more direct than anything else.

After breakfast at [-]:[-], most of the kitchen staff arrived. The children who didn’t arrive were all night owls. They didn’t like to sleep at night and didn’t like to wake up in the morning, and they didn’t like to eat breakfast. As long as you can hit the card.

At 58:[-], in the kitchen, Master Du called the staff to hold a regular meeting.

Everyone started to gather together, and those who had just entered the kitchen stood directly in the line.

All the employees stood in three rows, and Master Du began to roll the roll.During the roll call, an employee had just entered the kitchen, and when he heard his name being called, he hurried to the line, and some people laughed.

"Can you get up early tomorrow?" Master Du asked the employee.

"Yes, I will definitely be able to do it tomorrow." The employee promised.

"I say yes every day, but I'm late every day." Master Du said.

"I'm not late, I've clocked in." The employee explained to himself.

Master Du glanced at him and continued to roll the roll without saying anything.After the roll call, he pointed to me and said to everyone: "This is Master Tan, our kitchen director. Everyone applaud, and let Master Tan tell us a few words."

Everyone welcomed me with sparse applause.

When you come to everyone, first ask the employee who came in later: "It's time, haven't you eaten?"

He was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "No, I'm not hungry."

I smiled and asked, "Did you play games in an Internet cafe last night?"

"No, I just didn't get up—" he said guiltily.

"It seems that you are only eighteen or nine this year, where is your family?"

"Xifeng's, nineteen."

"Xifeng is a good place. There is a deer field, where hazelnuts are grown. In spring, there are monkey legs and bracken on the mountain. In autumn, hazel mushrooms are picked." I said.

"Have you ever been to our West Peak?" He asked curiously.

"No, I must go and see it if I have the chance." I said.

He smiled and said, "Go to my house, and I promise to entertain you well."

I said: "Thanks in advance." Then I continued: "Young man, nineteen, a good age, it is time to grasp the skills, I think your face is a little pale, it is guaranteed to be caused by not eating breakfast for a long time. When you are in good health, you can’t skip breakfast, you are prone to hypoglycemia, you will sweat when you are a little tired from work, your legs are trembling, and you want to eat, don’t you?”

He looked at me in surprise and said, "Yes, sometimes that's the case."

"That's caused by not eating in the morning. I guess you didn't like to eat in the morning when you were in school. It's been several years. Listen to the master, get up early in the morning and eat the meal. It will be fine in a few months, and you won't sweat. Now, your face is also shiny, and you, a handsome guy, won't be able to fascinate all the waiters."

After speaking, everyone laughed.

Say to everyone: "As the saying goes, if you are hungry, you will be in a daze and if you are full, you will feel pinched. Seeing that everyone is not refreshed after eating, let's cooperate. I will shout slogans and everyone will do two movements together. Are you in good spirits?"

"Okay!" Half of the people replied.

I pointed to the person on the left and said: "The people here are good." Then I asked the person on the right: "Is the person on our side not good?"

"Okay," said the man on the right.

"Okay, let me ask again, shall we do two movements together?"

"it is good--"

90.00% of the people who answered this time.

"Okay!" I said loudly, "It's imposing, this is what I remember as coarse food." Then I said, "The movements we do are very simple. Everyone knows how to stand at attention and take a rest, right?"

"meeting!"

"What about turning left or right?"

"meeting!"

"Okay, since everyone knows how, let's practice it again."

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone and shouted loudly: "Everyone is there, listen to the password and stand at attention—"

Brush, everyone stand at attention.Although the posture is not standard and uniform, the attention is concentrated.

"Take a break!"

"stand at attention!"

"To the left!"

"turn right!"

Everyone did a good job. When turning right, two employees made a wrong turn and corrected it immediately.

"Everyone can do it according to the instructions, give yourself applause!" I said loudly.

Everyone applauds.

"We are all energetic, this is what our coarse grains should be." I said: "Our family is one of the best restaurants in Binhai. Why, because everyone has done a good job and done a good job. If there is no everyone, it depends on the boss It’s too early to say that one person can’t do this. Therefore, our family’s existence today is inseparable from everyone’s hard work. This is obvious to all, and even the boss has to admit it.”

"We did a good job in the past, so we will do a good job in the future. We are the leader in the company, and other stores should follow us. The old man always said that the coarse grains are good, the service in the front is good, and the service in the future is good. The kitchen’s dishes are unique. In addition, our customers speak highly of us. In Binhai, only our family can eat urban high-quality coarse grains, authentic Northeast home-cooked dishes and high-quality seafood. This is not our own bragging. If you want to eat Coarse grains, our family is the first."

"These traditions of our coarse grains are laid down by everyone. Here, Lao Tan would like to say hard work to all brothers and sisters, thank you everyone!"

With a deep bow, applause rang out.

"Our task this year is to feed the soldiers and recuperate. According to martial arts training, it is to practice internal strength. What kind of internal strength should we practice? To cultivate our internal strength for cooking, and practice our skills well until we admire ourselves. Let's talk about a dish After finishing, I admire myself, wow, is this the dish I cooked, it’s great, I admire myself a little, it’s enough to do this.”

"While cultivating dishes, we must also keep up with the basic work. Hygiene and discipline are necessary. It is not a problem for us. We have done a good job before, and now we will strengthen it. Yesterday I saw that some signs were missing. , communicate with the chef, print it out and paste it today. For us, the sanitation must be in place, the signs must be clear, and all kinds of tools must be classified when the market is closed every day. Stand at attention, that's what we do."

"Brothers and sisters, can you do it?"

"Yes—" everyone replied in unison.

"I believe that everyone can do their job well, and I'm optimistic about everyone." Then I named the chief chef Lao Du, the boss of cold dishes, Zhai Zi, the northeast cuisine master Li, the seafood master Guo, and the pastry sister Wang, and said to them: "Before the market closes in the evening Carry out an inspection, and you can leave work only if you pass the inspection. I will check at nine o'clock, and if it is unqualified, there is no need for the staff to clean it up, you clean it up."

When it came to the end, I was very serious, and they also saw it, and they all became serious.

After the regular meeting, I told Master Li that he and Wang Tie from the old store should learn "little tofu" and make it according to Wang Tie's method.I told Sister Wang, the manager of the pastry, to make dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and a large cornmeal pancake for the manager’s meal at noon. I told Mr. Guo, the seafood master, to cook a dead fish with homemade methods, preferably the local rural methods.Tell Xiao Zhai to mix a home-cooked cold dish, it is best if the soil is rotten.

After all the arrangements, I left the kitchen and came to the office. Since they prepared it, I have to take a look at it.

I seldom come to the office, unless it is special circumstances, otherwise I will not come.The office used to be Accountant Cui’s. Inside, there is a desk, a bookshelf, four chairs and a bed, which is used for rest at noon.

Next door is the purchasing office, and next door to purchasing is the office of the general manager.

Sit at your desk and feel what it's like to be in an office.To be honest, I don’t have a solid foundation, and I’m a little unaccustomed to it.After sitting for a while, Yan Li called over, and she wanted to discuss a few things.

Her office is much more grand than mine, with a boss desk and chairs, a leather sofa, a solid wood coffee table, a complete set of tea sets, a complete set of bookshelves, and a wine cabinet.

"Old Tan, do you think who is suitable for our family's human resources?" She asked.

I haven't thought about this question yet, so I replied: "I really haven't thought about it, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"I'm just asking you if you don't have one," she said, brusquely.

"I don't have one either. If it doesn't work, just recruit one." I said.

"Human resources are very important. Our family has to recruit someone who understands catering," she said.

"That's right, those who don't understand catering can't do the training."

"I want to choose one in our house."

"There doesn't seem to be any suitable ones in our house."

"What do you think of Manager Chen?" She asked suddenly.

I asked: "Then who will be the manager of the old store?"

"Mr. Wang, ask him to be the manager." She said.

"No, if this is the case, it's better to ask Mr. Wang to be a human resource. When he applied for the position, he was the service director." I suggested.

She said: "I think Manager Chen is too old to be a manager. He is just right to be a human resource."

I said: "My opinion is different from yours. I think Manager Chen is a bit old, but he has a lot of experience. Besides, he is familiar with the old shop. After working for two years, it is difficult for ordinary people to take over after she leaves."

She thought for a while and said, "Leave this in advance, and I will think about it later." Then she asked, "When will the training preparations for the management be carried out?"

I asked: "Mr. Yan, do you think it's appropriate for me to train them?"

"Why doesn't it fit? I feel fine," she said.

"I don't feel well."

"You promised the chairman, why did you quit when the chairman wasn't here?" She asked with a smile, and then added: "You are awesome, I still don't believe you when they say you are."

I said, "Gen? I didn't feel it."

"You are so stupid."

I smiled and said: "How about this, Mr. Yan, let's hold a weekly meeting and a monthly meeting, like a formal enterprise. Every Monday at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, we will hold a weekly meeting to summarize the work of the previous week. , Make a work plan for next week, and conduct training during the weekly meeting, which is not called training, just communicate with each other and exchange management experience, do you think it will work?"

She thought about it and said, "Okay, this proposal is very good, who will participate?"

I said: "The weekly meeting is attended by middle-level managers. The monthly meeting will be expanded to include the procurement department and the finance department. The finance department will announce the data of the previous month, including turnover, procurement expenses, water and electricity expenses. , low-value consumables, etc., we analyze the data and make work arrangements for the next month, and it is best to determine the sales tasks for the next month."

"I think it's fine, let's do it like this," she said.

I said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She looked at me and said, "Why don't you listen to me, you won't listen to me if I lift the chairman out."
