The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 189 A Qiao's Popularity
The Chamber of Commerce is an inevitable product of the commodity economy.Generally, it refers to a social group legal person established by businessmen in accordance with the law, with the purpose of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of members and promoting the prosperity of industry and commerce.

The legal characteristics of chambers of commerce: mutual benefit, civility, self-discipline, and legal personality.

The Chamber of Commerce is the process of establishing the identity of merchants and the process of orderly organizing merchants.It is an indispensable and important link to realize the optimal combination and allocation of resources under the commodity economy, and an important link to realize the mutual connection between the government and businessmen, businessmen and businessmen, and businessmen and society.

This is a general exposition of chambers of commerce, we just need to understand it, so we won’t go into details.

There are three major chambers of commerce in Hohhot, the Provincial City Chamber of Commerce, the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce.

The Provincial City Chamber of Commerce was established relatively early, has many members, and has a close relationship with the government. It has made a lot of contributions to the economic development of Hohhot.The chairman, Sun Yucong, has strong capital, flexible mind, and is good at seizing opportunities. Under his leadership, he was also very successful.

Although it is going downhill now, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it has the foundation laid before, and it is not something that the other two chambers of commerce can easily shake.

In this context, Zhou Yujun joined the Chamber of Commerce in the provincial capital, and was appreciated by Sun Yucong, and became the vice president.

In recent years, Sun Yucong didn't pay much attention to the chamber of commerce, and it was Gu Yi and Zhou Yujun who took care of it.Gu Yi has expertise in external affairs, has no business acumen, and rarely participates in the operation of the chamber of commerce.

Zhou Yujun was born to be a businessman and had leadership skills. He took care of the daily affairs of the chamber of commerce, and only reported to Sun Yucong and asked for instructions when he encountered major problems.

Over the past few years, Zhou Yujun has accumulated a lot of contacts and has a good relationship with the government. It is with the support of the government that his e-commerce has developed.

He and Mr. Wang belong to a cooperative relationship. Mr. Wang's new type of agriculture is organically combined with his e-commerce, which is quite promising.It's just that those who are familiar with it know that there is another layer of relationship between the two of them.

In Zhou Yujun's impression, his cousin Tong Xin has always been a housewife. Although she is pretty, she is not outstanding.Arranging Tong Xin's family to Laotan Hotel is more of a responsibility.As for exercising Tong Xin, he would go back to the company to be a receptionist after training. In his eyes, Mr. Wang was better than Tong Xin.

But this meeting actually made his eyes brighten, and he felt amazing.No matter in appearance or temperament, Tong Xin is better than Mr. Wang, which I didn't notice before.

So I felt right about my decision to ask my cousin to come to Lao Tan for a workout, and I felt very wise about the reason I said in advance that I would go back in the future.

He chatted with Tong Xin for a while, and after all the guests had left, he warmly invited Tong Xin's family of three to have a meal outside. He said a lot of concerned words, which moved Tong Xin and her husband, and felt that this cousin was right to defect. .

When the Jining store was preparing for the opening, the provincial capital, the North University Town store and the Lingdong Street store were in full swing. One was preparing to open in May, and the other was in June. At the same time, the Northbound store was also discussed. Start decorating.

Now that he is familiar with decorating a shop, he hardly needs to worry about it, Mr. You Xiang can settle it all by himself.Tableware, tables, chairs and benches are all custom-made by fixed manufacturers, and it can be done with one phone call, provided that the money is ready.

Fortunately, Aqiao is not short of money.

What is lacking is people, excellent and qualified management talents.

In response to this problem, Qin Lili, who is in charge of human resources, made a complete set of management echelon training plan, which designed a promotion channel for all employees.After being approved by Yanhua and Lao Tan, it was implemented, and a group of native-born middle-level managers were quickly trained, who can meet the needs of the three newly opened stores at present.

Waiters and kitchen staff are recruited through three channels.

The first is 58.com, the second is the introduction of old employees, and the third is Lao Tan’s hometown sending people here.With the continuous supply of these three channels, there is basically no shortage of employees, and there has never been a shortage of employment.

This is directly related to Aqiao's high salary and high benefits.In addition, the effective implementation of the work point system has indeed achieved more pay for more work, the survival of the fittest and the elimination of the inferior, which has made employees psychologically balanced, stimulated their enthusiasm for active work, and are willing to work in Aqiao.

The catering industry has always had a lot of liquidity. Whoever can reduce the liquidity and stabilize the workforce will win.

The cost of a new employee is [-] times that of an old employee.

The biggest cost of an enterprise is not the house, water, electricity and raw materials, but the untrained and unskilled new employees. They offend customers and lose customers all the time, reduce product quality, and constantly discount brands.

After more than four years of development, Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant has won the reputation of the common people and is almost a household name in the northern half of the provincial capital.

At the beginning of the year, it was rated as "the people's favorite dumpling restaurant" by Chidrinkwanle.

In May, Yanhua was appraised as "Integrity Restaurant" and "Excellent Restaurant" by the Municipal Catering Association, and Yanhua also became a member of the association.

What is proud of is that because the old store has been cooperating with the community and giving free dumplings to the empty-nesters, this charity was said to be a show at the beginning. Praise is a conscience restaurant.

The conscientious owner of the conscientious restaurant, Yanhua was naturally selected as the representative of the district people's congress.

People, it is right to do good deeds.

But do good deeds, let alone good or bad.God has eyes, good people are rewarded.

The wealth a person possesses in his life is not directly proportional to his IQ, it is related to his blessings, as much wealth as he cares for people.Conversely, wealth can only play its true role in the hands of virtuous people.

Our society has developed so well precisely because there are so many virtuous and responsible people.

The busiest ones now are Zhang Li, Zhong Qing and Qin Lili.Zhang Li is busy training the store manager, and Zhongqing is busy training the head chef. The store manager and the head chef are important positions that determine the success or failure of the restaurant, so they have great responsibilities.

Qin Lili is in charge of staff training.She is mainly responsible for team building and corporate culture, and Zhang Li and Zhong Qing are still in charge of professional matters.

In this regard, Li Shuang shared the skill training of waiters, Wang Hong shared the training of dumpling workers, Fang Jianjun was in charge of cold dishes, and the head chefs of each store were in charge of hot dishes.

The division of labor is clear, each performs their duties, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Our Zhang Xiangdong is still in charge of the market.The young man is energetic, quick-thinking, and business-minded, and he has become Yanhua's right-hand man.The love with Qin Lili is also ripe, and they are planning to get married at the end of the year.

Let me say a few words about logistics.

If the restaurant wants to open well, logistics is indispensable.

In the catering industry, the logistics is called the butler department.

The chief housekeeper of Aqiao's housekeeping department is Huaqing's wife, who leads three departments, purchasing department, warehouse, and dormitory.

The Purchasing Department is not only responsible for buying vegetables, but also responsible for the distribution of the central kitchen.The company allocated three cars to Huaqing's daughter-in-law. Every morning, two cars went out to purchase, and one car was dedicated to delivery.The purchase vehicle arrives at the store before [-]:[-], and the delivery is completed before [-]:[-], so the normal operation of the store cannot be delayed.

Purchasing and delivery personnel have to get up at five o'clock every day, otherwise they will not be able to complete the work, which is very hard.

There is almost no need to go out in person for warehouse purchases, and the suppliers deliver the goods to the door.But the management is cumbersome and needs to be careful and rigorous.Seeing that Huaqing's daughter-in-law was too busy alone, Yanhua assigned a warehouse manager to make it easier.

With the continuous increase of stores, the warehouse, which used to feel very large, has become a bit small.Among other things, at least five tons of dumpling noodles are put in at a time, and one-third of the noodles are gone.There are also salad oil, starch, cornstarch, detergent, steel wool, work clothes, mops, towels--and so on.

The expansion of the warehouse has been officially put on the agenda.

Dorm management looks easy, but it is actually troublesome and a headache.

Girls are better, obedient, after returning to the dormitory after get off work to wash up, there is basically no activity, at most they chat and laugh for a while, and then fall asleep.Hygiene is also maintained, clean and not messy.

Waiting for the boys to finish, drinking, smoking, playing cards, and staying up noisy, always disturbing the neighbors, the hotel complained constantly, and refused to change after repeated admonitions.

Needless to say about hygiene, if my brothers drank alcohol the night before and opened the door the next morning, the smell of alcohol and smelly socks in the room would make people stumble.

Of course, there are also clean ones, but very few.Girls are also lazy, little girls are more lazy than little boys, and they will never wash the dirty clothes piled up under the bed like a hill until the last one is worn.

When Huaqing's daughter-in-law first started managing the dormitory, it was like a war every day, and she didn't listen to her words, with little effect.In addition, the dormitories of each store are scattered, so it is not easy to manage them in a unified way, so she has one head and two big ones.

Later, a meeting was held to study, and the dormitory management was also included in the work point system, and strict rules and regulations and hygiene standards were formulated.

Before going to work every morning, like when the market closes at night, individuals post photos of their beds and surroundings to the group, and hygiene gradually improves.Now let’s not say that it is similar to a soldier’s dormitory, but it is absolutely regular, clean, fresh and comfortable.

Each dormitory is equipped with internet, TV, and an activity room where employees can sit and chat together and listen to music.

But it is not allowed to drink and play cards in the dormitory, and he will be expelled immediately if he finds out.There are also not allowed to leave the bed without authorization and not to return to bed at night, these two points are very important.

There were two vicious incidents in the Provincial City Hotel: one was that a restaurant waiter went to an Internet cafe after get off work and went back to the dormitory alone in the middle of the night.
The second is that the old man who kills fish in a restaurant likes to drink. He drinks some every day when he gets off work and goes to the dormitory. The person is already hardened—a sudden myocardial infarction.

I don’t know which one will come first, surprise or accident, so we must take precautions and put safety first.

Overall, the brand of Aqiao has been established and has become well-known.

The next step began to flourish.
