The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 24 Open the situation

Chapter 24 Open the situation

Li Wanshan, the head of Tianyitun Village, and Lao Tan felt like friends at first sight. In the words of ordinary people, they could pee in a pot.Now I always go to people in Kanto for dinner, and every time I come to Lao Tan, I go to have a few drinks with Lao Tan. The two cherish each other and become friends.

Through Li Wanshan, two weddings were held in the Guandong family, and two funeral banquets were also held here.

Wang Ming ordered the workshop dinner here. After eating once, everyone felt very good. After going back, he made a publicity in the factory, so several workshops came to ask Lao Tan to order meals.Lao Tan warmly received him, offered preferential treatment, and boosted business while making friends.

Opening a hotel in Santaizi, the aircraft factory is the largest customer, and if it is caught, it will not lose money.Mr. Xu also knows this, but he has been in the city before, and he is not familiar with Santaizi or the people in the factory, so after the opening of the aircraft factory, there are very few customers.

Santaizi is not as prosperous as the city, with dense crowds and many passers-by.As long as the restaurant prepares the food and service well, people will come, so there is no need to worry about the source of customers.Santaizi is just such a place, most of them are aircraft factory workers, and those people are the ones who eat every day, so the humanization is serious.

It was not easy for an outsider to open a restaurant here at first.

Why is Chishan Restaurant so popular?The main boss is Santaizi, who has been running a restaurant since his father's generation. Not to mention everyone in Santaizi has eaten at his house.In addition, the boss will come to work, and he has a good relationship with the leaders of the aircraft factory. They are all loyal to the Lord and the business is guaranteed, so the more they do it, the more popular they are.

Chishan Restaurant has almost monopolized half of the three banquets.As long as they attend a wedding, most of them go to Chishan, followed by second-rate hotels such as Yugang and Hangfei.

Now that Lao Tan wants to operate banquets on a large scale, the situation of Chishan Restaurant's dominance will be broken.

During the May [-]st period, people in Kanto received a total of eight weddings, and Chishan Restaurant received ten.

By hosting eight weddings, the banquets of the Kanto people have won a reputation for being large, affordable, and delicious. The guests who attended the banquet said it was better than Chishan Restaurant, and they will come here for business in the future.

Banquet is the most effective and direct way of publicity for the hotel.

Under normal circumstances, 70.00% of the guests attending the banquet are within a radius of three kilometers from the hotel. Before attending the banquet, they may not know the existence of the restaurant, or know but have not eaten, and do not know whether it is good or bad.By participating in the banquet, you can personally experience the delicious food, considerate service, reasonable price, and large quantities of benefits. With such an intuitive and deep impression, the chances of coming to eat next time will greatly increase.

Now many people in Santaizi know the existence of the Kanto people. The most intuitive impression is a large farmyard, a small donkey pulls a mill, a small stupid chicken is slaughtered on the spot, live fish in the reservoir, stewed vegetables in a big pot, and a large rural banquet. The meat sausage, powder sausage, egg sausage, tongs, pig's head stew and so on.

The decoration is very good, there are private rooms, scattered tables, and a banquet hall.

The waiter did not call Mrs. and Miss, but kindly called Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, and Aunt, who were wearing orchid jackets and looked pleasing to the eye——
The Guandong family gradually became famous in Santaizi.

On this day, Wang Shulan, the boss of the pastry shop, approached Lao Tan and said that there was a pastry shop that was about to resign and had to hire a new one.Lao Tan asked the resigned pastry what he was in charge of, and Wang Shulan said that he was in charge of dumplings.

When it comes to dumplings, Lao Tan can't help but think of the Qinghua Pavilion in Binhai.Since I came back last year, I haven’t contacted him again. Several local chefs who were still working there during the Spring Festival called him, saying that the business is not very good, the management is very chaotic, and many old employees quit.

In the last two days, Wang Hong called him and said that he was not there anymore and was looking for work.Old Tan thought she was the one who made the dumplings, so he could call her over.

Thinking of this, I told Wang Shulan not to worry, he will take care of it.Then he went out of the kitchen and was about to go to the hall, when he happened to run into Wang Gang.

Wang Gang's first stage of study has been completed, and it seems that he has gained a lot, and his spirit is up.

"Master Tan, I'm looking for you." Wang Gang said.

"What's wrong?" Old Tan asked.

"Aren't you busy on May [-]st? Everyone is very tired. Just now, I bumped into Manager Zhang, Manager Zhou, and Sister Shuang. We wanted to have a dinner for the staff. It was lively." Wang Gang said excitedly.

"Good thing, is there a certain day?"

Wang Gang didn't set a date first, but expressed his own thoughts: "We discussed it like this, isn't it dancing every day? I looked at it and found that some danced very well, and some didn't dance at all. That's right there. It’s uncomfortable to watch.”

Old Tan nodded in approval, motioning for him to continue talking.

"Aren't there three teams now? We didn't do any activities after the construction, so let's just have a dance PK. What do you think?" Wang Gang asked.

"Okay, PK, have you figured out what to do?" Old Tan asked.

"The three teams dance in turn. Whichever team dances well and whichever team is first will be rewarded, and [-] points will be added directly. The PK is over and the dinner is over." Wang Gang said.

Old Tan nodded and said yes, and then asked with a smile: "There must be judges in the competition. Have you figured out who will be the judges? Now let's do three dances. In the competition, should we dance all or one?"

"These things haven't been decided yet, let's discuss it with you after thinking about it." Wang Gang said.

"How about this, after lunch, let's sit down and study, and we'll make it look good, don't let the water drip into our pants. The first time, if it's not done well, next time the employees won't like to participate." The old man Tan said.

"That's it, let's discuss it at noon."

Lao Tan has now become the soul of the management. Whether it is the kitchen or the front desk, he is always consulted for anything, and his decision is often the final one.

He also wanted to hold an event a long time ago, but he has been busy working on the dishes during this period of time, so he didn't have time to plan.Now that the dishes have just stabilized and the guests are ready to eat, they are taking a breather.He plans to continue to pay close attention to one month to solidify the existing achievements and prevent rebound.

The past few days are busy on May [-]st. After the banquet, we sell loose goods, and the turnover has always been more than [-].On the second day, it sold a historic high of [-], which made everyone very happy.

The amount of money sold has increased, but the problem has also become prominent.The products produced within [-] yuan can remain stable, and when they exceed [-] yuan, they will start to lose shape. Obviously, the foundation is not good enough, and the roots are not solid.

[-] is just a starting point, and it will reach more than [-] in the future. This state is guaranteed to be impossible, and we must follow up and use stupid methods to stare at it and lay a good foundation.

At today's regular meeting, he proposed the principle of "delivering food five seconds later".The chef of the stove, the person in charge of the stall, and those who are directly responsible for the production must take five seconds to carefully check the dishes before serving them, and serve them only after they are qualified.

"Once the dishes are on the table, we don't have the opportunity to explain. We must take care of the last step of the production."

"Dishes don't lie. If you treat it seriously, it will treat you seriously. This is the capital we rely on for survival, and it is also the means by which we support our families. It is not slow to produce five seconds late, but to produce high-quality goods."

On the whole, what can reassure him now is the tofu shop and cold dishes.

The tofu shop has been stable. Water tofu and tofu nao are very popular, and there are not enough to sell every day.

After adjustment, the quality of cold dishes is stable and has characteristics.Coupled with Zhou Hongyou's serious work and strong sense of responsibility, the cold dish room is now well-organized and well-regulated, and the production speed has been greatly improved, which has been recognized and praised by customers.

The production of pasta is also stable, but there are no competitive products.After the improvement, the pimple soup has reached the level of a must-order table, but it cannot be launched as a special feature.Wowotou and cornmeal hair cake are not bad, very popular with customers.

Dumplings are like finger cakes. Lao Tan has always wanted to improve the two, but he didn't have the time. If Wang Hong could come, it would be a big help to him—the dumpling problem would be solved.

What needs to be strengthened is the hot dishes. After the hot dishes are stable, you can spend time focusing on pasta.

The current Lao Tan dare not relax at all. He seldom leaves the kitchen every day and keeps his eyes on the dishes. If he finds unqualified ones, he immediately stops them and firmly refuses to produce them.So much so that when the chef serves dishes, he subconsciously checks to see if he is there, and if he is there, he will check carefully, lest he be stopped and redone if he is not qualified-the team will be deducted points.

Lao Tan is dedicated to his work. Up to now, he has not had a day off for two months, and he is the last one to leave the kitchen every day.

From a career point of view, he wants to start a family in the Kanto region and prove his ability.In terms of survival, he has to support his family.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Tan's office.

Seven people, Wang Gang, Zhang Li, Li Shuang, Zhou Xiaomei, Hu Jing, Li Xu, and Lao Tan sat around the desk to study the dinner party and the dancing competition.

Lao Tan first said: "I suggest that the game and dinner be held in one day, the game in the morning and the dinner in the evening."

Wang Gang said, "That's what I mean too."

Zhang Li raised different opinions: "Can we hold it all in the evening, and it will be so lively than the dinner after the game."

"I think it's better to hold it together." Li Shuang said.

Zhou Xiaomei, Hu Jing, and Li Xu didn't speak, and they agreed with Zhang Li's opinion by looking at their expressions.

Lao Tan said: "It's okay to hold it together, but I'm afraid it will be too long and make trouble until midnight, and I have to go to work the next day."

"Just have fun." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Finally, it was decided to hold NO.12 at [-]:[-] p.m., with dancing first and then dinner.The three teams danced together to catch the money dance. The judges were Zhang Li, Wang Gang, Lao Tan, Accountant Li, and Zhang Juan.

No.1 will reward 2 yuan of activity funds, and the team will add 3 points. No. [-] and No. [-] will not be rewarded, and they will add [-] points and [-] points.

The host is Zhou Xiaomei, and the assistant is Wang Gang.

After the event was decided, Lao Tan said a few more words. The central idea was to break through 500,000 in May. A kick-off meeting would be held in June to commend the excellent stalls and employees in May. The sales task in June would be one One hundred and fifty thousand.

"Let me tell you about my plan. I will spend three months doing the basic work and practicing internal strength. The main thing is the dishes, including the quality of the products and the speed of serving them, so that every dish is a high-quality product, so that I can be competitive."

"The restaurant is a whole, and no matter how good the food in the kitchen is, it won't work without the cooperation of the front desk." Speaking of this, Old Tan smiled, and said to the leaders at the front desk: "I have been the chef for these years, and I dare not offend the front desk. If you’re happy, our food sells well, but when you’re angry, our food won’t sell.”

"Boss, treat us to a few more meals, and the dishes will sell well." Li Shuang joked.

"That's a must." Lao Tan readily agreed, and then said: "It's May now, March is not counted, and the dishes that were picked up in April will continue to be picked up this month and next month. Give me feedback on the dishes in time, so that I can make timely adjustments.”

"Don't worry, we guarantee timely feedback." Zhang Li said.

Lao Tan smiled at Zhang Li and said, "I sold 32 million in April, and I am confident that it will break through 500,000 this month. If it breaks through 55 million in June, there will be no problem."

"I don't think it's a problem. Master Tan, you lead everyone to do it. Let's work hard together. Isn't it only 500,000, what a joke." Wang Gang said.

"Then let's work together to break through 500,000. Old Tan treats guests and eats a big meal!" Old Tan said.

"yeah!"

Li Shuang made an exaggerated victory gesture.
