The story of a cook

Chapter 575
Yan Li's husband rarely comes to the restaurant, and I only met him once.Her husband works in a government department and doesn't work very much. After all, he is the second generation of officials, and his family conditions are good, so he can justifiably be a young master.

In my opinion, she and her husband are a marriage of interests.The old man used to be a government official, and now he is doing business in the sea. A person from Tieling naturally needs a backer to develop in Binhai.His in-laws are important officials in Binhai, and they can help the old man in the officialdom, and the old man's business has his in-laws' shares, so both parties benefit from each other and get what they need.

Now the old man has handed over the management of the hotel to Yan Li, and he has entered a semi-retired state, focusing more on his hometown business and his son's real estate projects. The family of three are not idle, and the business is getting better and better.

The rich are getting richer, and the poor are struggling to make money, so there is nothing to reason about.

When Mr. Wang was rehearsing the welcome ceremony of coarse grains, he was a little angry when Manager Meng did not cooperate.

"Why is Manager Meng like this? He doesn't cooperate at all." Mr. Wang complained.

"She should cooperate, she can't." Yan Li said.

Manager Meng is dedicated and strong. He is the manager here when Coarse Grain opened, and he manages the front desk in an orderly manner.There are also shortcomings, Abby, like jealousy.

I said, "We have to think about the root of everything. Do you know why she doesn't cooperate?"

"Why?" Mr. Wang asked.

Yan Li also looked at me suspiciously.

"The last time you went out to investigate, you brought Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei with you. If you didn't bring her, how could she not be angry? She is an old man in our family, and she has worked hard without credit. Besides, she has always done a good job. Before Zhou Xiaomei came up, she was The most outstanding one, now that Zhou Xiaomei has come up, she is better than her, and she is a little angry. To put it bluntly, she is competing for favor." I said.

"I didn't bring Manager Chen with me last time." Yan Li said.

"I won't inspect the old store this time. You can see it when you inspect the old store. It's probably the same." I said.

"Then it's a bit out of order." Yan Li said.

I said: "Don't talk about the structure in this regard. The structure is directly proportional to the ability. If Manager Meng's structure is large enough, the old man will transfer her to be the boss when opening a new store, and will not hire Lao Zhai."

Mr. Wang said: "Old Tan's analysis is right. I said that Manager Meng always has my strengths when he comes back from studying."

I said: "Not only you, but also to me. I ignored Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei when I saw it. I brought Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei. She must have thought so. Lao Tan is the director of kitchen affairs. Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei went out to study. Guaranteed to be what he said, you only took it."

I went on to say: "Look, when the inspection team arrives, she will be sure to ask for leave, and she won't bring any of them with her when she comes, so she won't go to work and ask us to receive her."

"She is passive resistance." Yan Li said.

Mr. Wang said: "If this is the case, we have to think about it. How can a manager do this."

I said: "It's normal for her to be like this. Few people can be magnanimous. Besides, she is a woman, so she is easily jealous. It is understandable. To be fair and just, it is fair to say that Manager Meng and Manager Chen are really good at work, dedicated and loyal. Especially Manager Chen, she knows that she is old, and no other restaurant at this age will employ her as a manager, so she works very hard and cherishes this job. Manager Meng is young, one year older than me, and the coarse grains opened here , The management of the front desk is really good, we have to admit this."

"The old man has a very good impression of her, and he also looks towards her. Now that the old man doesn't care about the restaurant, she feels a little out of favor. We should use such a person. After all, she is the most familiar with coarse grains, has feelings, and has made contributions. Make a little sex Play a little bit of a temper and pretend not to see, if you don’t care, it’s over. She should care when you don’t care, she’s just showing her presence now.”

"Should I talk to her?" Yan Li asked.

"Think about how to talk about it first. She just wants you to talk to her, otherwise she won't make a big noise. Knowing that we value this reception, she can't say otherwise, unless she doesn't want to do it." I said.

Yan Li thought for a while and said, "Let's hang her out for a few days and see how she looks."

Mr. Wang said: "If it doesn't work, arrange for her to go out to study."

"We'll talk about it after I finish talking with her." Yan Li said.

Women are more jealous than men.It is also easy for a woman to show everything, so that people know why she is like this.The man keeps the matter in his heart, and will give you a thunderous blow when the time comes.

These are things that people with small structures do, but people with large structures do not.

Yan Li discussed Zhou Xiaomei's suggestion of applying for a stored-value card, and Mr. Wang and I both agreed, and set the stored-value standard on the spot: stored value of [-] and consumption of [-]; stored value of [-] and consumption of [-]; stored value of [-] Spend [-]; store value [-] and spend [-].

Leave the matter of the stored-value card to Mr. Wang.

Yan Li said that the office still lacks a person in charge of administration and wants to choose one from the existing management. Mr. Wang said that Manager Chen is suitable.Yan Li glanced at Mr. Wang and didn't express her opinion. That means that you wanted to transfer Manager Chen over just after you were transferred from the old store.

Mr. Wang also felt reckless after speaking, a little embarrassed, and added: "I don't mean anything else, we have nothing to do with Manager Chen, the main reason is that I think she is suitable for administrative work."

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, I said: "It is right to let Manager Chen step down from the front-line management post. One is the age issue, and the other is that she is also good at administration, like a big sister." The front desk management of the office has always been very traditional. With Manager Chen in the office, it is calm. If Manager Chen is not there, there will be no leader. Niu Xiuli on the second floor is qualified as the foreman. Unified management is not good. If Manager Chen is transferred to the office, he needs to find a capable manager to take over. It is also necessary to have a trainable deputy, so that there will be no layers of management.”

Yan Li said: "The three of us are the ones in charge of our family now. When Mr. Wang was first transferred, he wanted to manage human resources. Now he is not only in charge of human resources, but also responsible for the front desk of the entire company. It is also very tiring. In this way, since you Both said that Manager Chen is suitable for administration, and I agree. After Manager Chen comes, I will hand over the administrative part to her. In the future, such matters as personnel transfer, document issuance, and handling of stored-value cards will be handed over to the administrative department. And the offices are also handed over to the administration.”

Mr. Wang said: "Before transferring Manager Chen, the manager of the old store must be confirmed first."

Yan Li thought for a while and said, "How do you two see Cao Xiaojuan from the new store?"

I immediately said, "I don't express my opinion."

"Old Tan, if you don't express your opinion, it means you agree." Yan Li said.

I smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Wang said: "We have already transferred Li Shuang to Fisherman's Wharf. Would you be happy to transfer Cao Xiaojuan away from Zhou Xiaomei? She is her right-hand man."

Yan Li smiled and said: "Do you know what is socialism wool? This is socialism wool. Xiaomei is good at it. Now she has several go-getters under her command. It's okay to transfer Cao Xiaojuan here."

"I'll go talk to her," Mr. Wang said.

Seeing that the two of them had settled down, I said, "Let me tell you, now I am the director, Zhou Xiaomei is the manager of the new store, Li Shuang is the manager of Fisherman's Wharf, and Cao Xiaojuan will be transferred to the old store as the manager. One is together, which is a big taboo in employing people."

Yan Li said: "What I look for in employing people is ability, not relationship." Then she joked: "Besides, Lao Tan, you still have the heart to rebel."

I shook my head and said, "Just a reminder."

It was already twelve o'clock after the small meeting.Ever since I became the culinary director, there are always such small meetings, and it takes more than two hours, which is a bit of a waste of time.But it has to be opened, after all, some things need to be resolved by meeting.

The Communist Party will have more taxes, and the Kuomintang will have more taxes.

I also developed the habit of sitting in the office for meetings.

I remember the old man told me that meetings are very important, and many decisions are made in meetings, otherwise there would be no National People’s Congress or Party Congress in China.The same is true for an enterprise. What it wants to do, how to do it, who to do it, and to what extent, all these need to be discussed and resolved in meetings, and cannot be discussed in one word.There can be different opinions and different voices at the meeting, but once a consensus is reached and a decision is made, everyone must obey and implement it unconditionally.This means that we can be democratic, but democracy does not make decisions. Once a decision is made, it is a dictatorship.

There are many meetings in Blue and White Pavilion now.Daily regular meeting, weekly weekly meeting, monthly monthly meeting, nightly meeting, office meeting every Monday morning, marketing meeting every Tuesday, etc.I attend all these meetings.

The daily regular meeting is to catch up with which company holds the regular meeting, and the kitchen staff like the regular meeting I hold very much. In their words, they feel energetic when they hear me hold the regular meeting.

The weekly meeting is almost my sharing meeting, and it does not share every week.There is nothing to talk about, it takes a long time to prepare for a talk, and it takes a lot of effort.

The benefits of this kind of sharing are mutual. I exercised my eloquence while sharing, and the managers improved their management skills and learned management methods.

So far I have talked about what a manager is, the quality of a manager, how to motivate management, how to train and train employees, what is on-site management, and how to lead your own subordinates.We have never studied professional management, and what we talk about is what we have experienced, that is, experience.Using real cases to explain, there is no technical terminology, it is all about the truth with a little bit of wit, not too vivid, but definitely not boring, and everyone is willing to listen.

There are more than 40 managers above the middle level in the whole company. Through sharing, the distance between each other has been shortened. We have a good relationship with everyone, and everyone respects me. I think this is enough.

Every month's monthly meeting is hosted by Yan Li. At the meeting, she summarizes the work of the previous month and makes overall arrangements for the work of this month. The good ones are praised and affirmed, and the bad ones are severely criticized. The demeanor of the doorman.She looks more and more like Mu Na, the chairman of Linjiangxuan.

At the monthly meeting, I summarized the kitchen work last month and arranged for this month's work.There is less talk about the administration, but more talk about the dishes, mainly focusing on problematic dishes and the quality of the dishes.The problematic dishes solve the problem, and the quality of the dishes is strictly controlled. We will talk about it at the meeting and follow up at the next meeting.Therefore, the dishes of Qinghua Pavilion have always maintained a leading position, and they are the real leaders in the Binhai catering industry.

The nightly meeting is held by the front desk manager and the head chef to give feedback on the dishes of the day, and promptly deal with the customer complaints about the dishes of the guests that day, as well as the problems that occurred that day.

The company standard is: Nissin and Nissin, Nissin and Nissin.

This is a principle and a work style.

Most of the office meetings every Monday are chaired by Mr. Wang, announcing some new regulations or notices.Issued a circular on the violations of discipline in various stores last week.In the future, there will be someone who is in charge of administration. This meeting will be held by the administrative department. At the same time, the management of the staff dormitory will also be included, and the spare time activities of the staff will also be in charge of.

The marketing meeting every Tuesday is mainly aimed at the marketing of dishes, especially special dishes and innovative dishes.

Count the sales of each store, analyze the data, find out which dish has declined, and immediately diagnose it, trace the cause, get the result, and make corrections.Slowly add the front-end marketing, such as the marketing plan for the August [-]st Army Day-half-price dining for soldiers, and deliver dumplings to the No. [-] Squadron of the Armed Police nearby.

The idea of ​​sending dumplings to the armed police on August [-] was proposed by Li Shuang.Fisherman's Wharf always has armed policemen going to eat, and it became the main road, and Li Shuang became acquainted.On the eve of August [-]st, Li Shuang asked whether he would do some activities and send some dumplings to the No. [-] Squadron, which showed that our Qinghua Pavilion did not forget the armed police officers and soldiers.This proposal was immediately recognized and praised by Yan Li, who decided to make [-] dumplings and send them over on the spot.At the same time, [-] copies were sent to the local police station and the traffic police.

This move made the news of the day, and the reputation of Blue and White Pavilion grew a little bit.

Not only has its reputation grown, but it has also gained word of mouth. Many people say that the Qinghuage Dumpling Restaurant is good, and they even send dumplings to the troops.As a result, more people came to the Blue Flower Pavilion to eat, which was purely an unexpected gain.

Sometimes you don't ask for anything in return for doing good deeds, and the rewards come naturally.

When a person is capable, he will receive as many blessings as he cares for many people.

All entrepreneurs are philanthropists.

The boss initially makes money to meet his own needs. When he has met his own needs, he thinks of meeting the needs of his family. After satisfying the needs of the family, he starts to meet the needs of his followers. After satisfying the needs of his followers, he starts Giving back to the society is a process that every entrepreneur goes through.

This is true of all private entrepreneurs in China. If you don’t believe it, you can take a look. When a major natural disaster strikes, it is those entrepreneurs who lend a helping hand.Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example. Without the selfless donations and generosity of so many entrepreneurs, how could the reconstruction be done so quickly?

Some people say that the money was donated by those celebrities, it is undeniable.In fact, those who donate the most are these native Chinese private entrepreneurs. In the face of big right and wrong, they give full play to their national spirit and silently contribute to the motherland.
