The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 70 Mode
Lao Tan stood across the road, smoking a cigarette with his arms folded, quietly watching the dumpling restaurant.

On the left of the dumpling restaurant is the restaurant that Xiaofeng introduced to him - "Local People", on the right is "Xintiandi Supermarket", next to Xintiandi is a Chongqing hot pot restaurant, and next to the hot pot restaurant is Korean barbecue.There are more than a dozen restaurants further ahead, with the same area as the dumpling restaurant, all of which are [-] square meters.

When the dumpling restaurant was not open, the local business was the best, with 10,000 yuan per day.The second is Korean barbecue and hot pot restaurants, which can sell for [-] yuan, while others can't, they are between [-] and [-] yuan.

The hottest thing now is the dumpling restaurant, which is full every day, and there are queues, making others envious.Especially the local boss, he regretted that he didn't leave Lao Tan behind.

Lao Tan is thinking about the operation mode of the dumpling restaurant.

He started thinking when he got on the plane from Wuhan.

At present, 10,000 yuan per day for dumpling restaurants is the peak, and it is impossible to sell more. There are only a few seats.

According to the current benefit calculation, it is not a problem to recover the cost within ten months.In other words, I earned 34 yuan in ten months, which is quite good for a small shop of [-] square meters.

The business is very good, which shows that the model designed at the beginning is correct, customers like and accept it, and it is a profit model.

The structure of the dishes is designed reasonably, with [-] hot dishes, stewed in two large pots, so that the chef can concentrate and create special features easily.

Eight cold dishes, six side dishes and one smoked dish are concise and clear with outstanding flavor.In particular, optional side dishes not only increase the serving speed, but also lower the price of the dishes, making customers intuitively feel that the prices of the dishes are not expensive, and their psychological acceptance is greatly improved.

The dumplings are oriented accurately, with few varieties, easy to manage, and high-quality products.

The design of the open file is reasonable, and the characteristics are directly displayed in front of the guests. You don’t need to introduce them to know that they are pure handmade dumplings.

Through these summed up a sentence - to show the most profitable and most distinctive things in front of the guests, do direct marketing, and make money.

The hotel wine and health wine are another highlight of the dumpling restaurant, which play a finishing touch and are right on the theme-dumplings are wine, the more you drink, the more delicious you are.

Looking at the dumpling restaurant from a distance, the entire decoration matches the word "Aqiao" very well, and it looks harmonious.The combination of storefront and store name has achieved perfect unity, which can be regarded as a model store.

In this way, the model of a small dumpling restaurant is formed.

"A Qiao Dumpling Restaurant", features: Taste the old Northeast authentic dishes, and taste the centuries-old dumplings.

The area is about [-] square meters, preferably the first and second floors, the first floor is the counter and kitchen, and the second floor is private rooms.

Per capita consumption is between 37 and [-].

The store decoration is within 35, and the rent is between ten and 120,000.The monthly turnover is 25 to 28, and the cost will be recovered within ten months.

Ming stall kitchen, dumpling is the main dish.There are forty dishes, mainly exquisite old dishes.Pair it with the house wine and health wine to create a folk culture of eating dumplings for the people in Northeast China - dumplings are wine, the more you drink, the more delicious you are.

Staff structure: one store manager and one kitchen supervisor.15 people in the kitchen and 15 people in the front hall.

Management mode: five constants combined with points system, five constants as supplementary, points-based, incentive management.

It took a year to improve the operation model, open a second directly-operated store before being imitated, and quickly occupy the market without giving the opportunity to imitate.Then open four directly-operated stores at the rate of one store in ten months. When opening the fourth store, a small central kitchen will be established to deliver dumplings noodles and dumpling fillings to ensure uniform quality standards for dumplings.If possible, cold dishes are also delivered in semi-finished and finished products.

After this pattern gradually took shape in Lao Tan's head, he smiled, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked into the store with a relaxed expression.

When he was approaching the door of the store, Wang Hong opened the door and came out to meet Lao Tan.

"Old Tan, let me tell you something, do you want a free dumpling worker?" Wang Hong asked.

"No money? Apprentice?" Old Tan asked.

"Student Meng Meng, if you want to learn dumplings, you don't have to pay."

Old Tan thought for a while and said, "Call over and have a look. If you do a good job, you will be paid. In addition, we have to train some dumpling workers."

"Then I'll ask Meng Meng to call her classmate. By the way, you don't need to tell the two bosses? See if they are willing?" Wang Hong reminded.

"No, our family is not short of one person's money. Besides, it's a good thing, and I guarantee it will be used in the future." Old Tan said.

"You'd better talk to them, they are the boss. Yes, even if you don't talk about them, you can't say anything, but it's better to talk about it." Wang Hong was thoughtful, and said: "Also, you and her two Don't get too close, you are kind, it's all for the sake of the restaurant, they both agree, but there are old men, you and his wife are close, talking and laughing, the old men must think too much .Like you took them out to investigate this time, it was a good thing, but it might make people think wrongly."

"It's not possible." Old Tan said with a smile.

"How many people like you don't think about anything? Would you like your daughter-in-law to go out with the male boss for a few days? Let alone the old men, even the employees think about it, you know?" Wang Hong said.

Lao Tan never calculated in this way, and he felt it was the case after hearing what Wang Hong said.In addition, Wang Hong must have seen something when he said that, or he heard other people talking about it.

"What did someone say?" Old Tan asked.

Wang Hong said: "You can't say it in front of me, but if there are discussions, you can just pay attention. Also, Lao Feng may not be happy. After all, the two of you have worked together. With a lot of heart, the swallow is still attracting attention. Which old man can rest assured? Let’s not do it all the time and let others say something, it’s not a crime, if that’s the case, it’s better not to do it.”

Old Tan said nothing, Wang Hong turned and went in.

The excitement just now disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help frowning.I thought what Wang Hong said made sense. Sometimes good intentions do not necessarily do good things. Although I am the person in charge of the store, I am facing two female bosses. They trust me 100%, so the man behind them may not be. .

Yes, things are still a little thoughtless and immature.Abandon people who are in their [-]s and [-]s. Although they are dedicated to work, they must also pay attention to the impact. Many things come out of nothing, and methods need to be considered.

Now it's not me alone, but a team. If the whole team is laid off because of one of my mistakes, I don't want to try.What's more, it is a dumpling restaurant built by myself, and I have made plans for the future, and I want to do a lot.

You can lose due to lack of ability, then you can learn again and make a comeback.If you are defeated by the character of gossip, it will be difficult to turn around in your life.

I stood outside thinking for a while, then walked into the shop.

Yanhua and Yanzi were both there, sitting at a table near the bar chatting about something, seeing Lao Tan coming in, Yanzi said, "Old Tan, come here to discuss something with you."

Old Tan smiled and walked over to sit down.

"Yanhua and I plan to enroll in a training class to study." Yanzi said.

"Good thing, I strongly support it." Old Tan said.

"What class do you think we should enroll in?" Yanzi asked.

Old Tan thought for a while and said, "Chinese Studies Class and Boss Training Camp sound suitable for both of you, so sign up for these two."

"How to report? Neither of us know." Swallow said.

Lao Tan called his friends studying in these two classes and asked to help them sign up.You can try two classes in these two classes. If you think it is easy to pay the tuition to study, if you think it is not good, you can skip it.

Old Tan said: "You two learn to practice, recharge your batteries, and you will be the big boss in the future."

Yanzi said very practically: "It doesn't matter if the boss is big or not, just put something in his head, otherwise he won't be able to speak. Look at those bosses, they will come as soon as they talk, and they will wait for the two of us." It's over, I can't get a big face, I'm nervous before I say it, I have to practice."

Lao Tan asked them if they had talked to Lao Feng and Lao Deng about their studies, and they talked about it, and Lao Feng and Lao Deng also supported their studies.

Learning is a good thing, people should have something in their heads.

Yanhua said that Lao Deng told her to learn how to get a bus ticket so that she could buy a car in the future, but Yanzi said she wanted to learn too.The two sat in the store for a while, and then went out together to contact the driving school.

When Lao Tan came to the kitchen, Hua Qing and Sun Haicheng were making preparations.There are ten fish heads in an iron pot and ten little stupid chickens from Aqiao's family sitting on the claypot stove.

The chopping board is cutting the ingredients, and the big sister who sells stews chops the onion, ginger and garlic, and starts to serve soup bowls to the open stall.

Sun Haicheng blew off the large bones that had been blanched, poured them into the old soup bucket, and then began to blanch the chicken skeleton.After finishing the work on the Huaqing stove, I came down to move the tableware.

The dishwashing sister cleaned the horseshoe and stainless steel square plate that had been removed from the cutting board and put them on the shelf.

The rough processing brother washed the peeled potatoes, put them in the meal preparation box, soaked them in water, and then started to chop the green onions.

In the cold dish room, Fang Jianjun has just smoked the pig's trotters, and is putting them one by one on the square plate. After neatly arranging them, he brushes them with cooking oil. The pig's trotters are chubby and shiny, looking pleasing to the eye.

The six small dishes have been prepared and are all placed on the open stall.

These six small dishes are very attractive. When customers pass by Ming stalls, they will order two dishes. The price is not expensive and they are delicious.The most popular are soy sauce side dishes, homemade pickles, Laba garlic and coriander root, which are almost a must-order on the table.There are also two farmhouse tiger dishes and small fish peanuts, and the click rate is also very high.

Most of the raw materials for pickled soy sauce side dishes and home-made kimchi are the leftovers of green vegetables, such as chili paste, cucumber tails, celery roots, thick leek stalks, radish skins - if you throw them away, throw them away and save them for washing. , add seasoning and marinate, it will be a delicious side dish, which belongs to the utilization of waste materials and makes money.

There are very few things to throw in the kitchen. As long as you can serve snacks, you can see that you are invincible.As the saying goes, when the fingers of the cutting board are cut together, five catties of meat will come out; when the chef's wrist is closed, five catties of oil will come out.Garlic cloves that fall on the ground are raw materials when picked up, but rubbish when stepped on. It mainly depends on how to manage them.

Now there are just five people in the dumpling room, but it will be crowded if there are two more people.When it was originally designed, it was designed for five people, but now it is just saturated.

Dumplings are sold for 3000 yuan every day, and if you don’t rush to make them now, you have to make [-] copies of each dumpling and put them in the fresh-keeping cabinet before the meal.

Wang Hong was making three delicacies fillings, and three dumpling workers were preparing dumplings. The big dumpling cook helped Wang Hong, cutting leeks with a kitchen knife.

The whole kitchen was making preparations, Lao Tan walked around and came out to check the front desk.
