The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 97 To be famous in the whole country
Golden autumn in October, the harvest season.

The slight autumn wind blows across the fields, and the golden ears of rice undulate.

Three springs cannot be busy in one autumn. This season is the busiest time for the farmers, and it is also the happiest time. All the harvests are in the golden eyes, with a satisfied smile on the face, which is the simplest happiness.

Every year at this time, there will be short-term employee shortages in every restaurant, and many employees ask for leave to go home to harvest the autumn.A total of [-] employees in the front desk and back kitchen of the Kanto family asked for leave, and Lao Tan gave them all.He also came from the countryside, and he knows how busy the countryside is at this time, so he understands.

"Old Tan, do you still have land in your house?" Zhang Li asked.

"Yes, ten mu of land is leased out," Lao Tan said.

"Have you ever planted land?" Zhang Li asked.

"I've planted it. It's a good crop. I'll live in the field."

When Lao Tan saw the scene of the housekeeper working the land before his eyes, he couldn't help feeling hot.

"I didn't see it." Zhang Li smiled.

"My family has little land, and I don't have much money. Ten acres of land is not enough for me to take care of by myself. I don't have money to do business, so I have no choice but to come out to work --- life in the countryside is better now, the policy is better, and it is better than us working outside. Strong." Old Tan said.

Zhang Li asked: "What are you doing calling you home now?"

Lao Tan said: "It's useless to say that it's useless. Why go back when the family is here? It's like this in this life, unless you go back to take care of yourselves when you are old. The air in the countryside is good and it is quiet. Plant a la carte in the garden, raise Have a chicken, duck, goose and dog, drink tea and chat, have a little chicken stewed with mushrooms, two taels of shochu, hey, enjoy it.”

Lao Tan paints a warm picture of old age.

"When I was old, I went back to the countryside with you." Zhang Li said.

"Will you serve me or shall I serve you?"

"I serve you."

"It's probably enough. By then, you will be an old lady. Who will serve whom? Besides, who doesn't want to find a young one, what do you want an old lady to do?"

"Tch, you won't be an old man by then." Zhang Li replied to Old Tan, and then said, "By the way, Old Tan, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, let's have some tonight."

"Okay, let's have a drink, where are we going?" Old Tan asked.

"It's cold, let's cook hot pot."

After the two of them decided to cook hot pot for the evening, Mr. Xu asked Lao Tan to go to the office.

Lao Tan went straight to the fourth floor and saw that the clerk Zhang Juan was waiting for him at the entrance of the building, and asked, "What does Mr. Xu want from me?"

Zhang Juan said: "I don't know, she looks pretty good, so it should be a good thing."

"Is the accountant here?" Old Tan asked.

"Yes." Zhang Juan replied.

Lao Tan didn't go to Mr. Xu's office first, but went into the financial room.

After coming back this time, he seldom went to the financial office, mainly because of the grudges from last time.Accountant Li was also a little embarrassed to see him. After all, he lied for the boss, so it was embarrassing.She handed over the monthly business report to Zhang Juan, and Zhang Juan handed it over to Lao Tan.

I entered the financial room today because it has been exactly half a month since the first day, and the sales have been very good every day.Especially from the 900,000st to the [-]th, the National Day holiday, there are two wedding banquets every day, and the loose sales are also very good, every day is full, and the turnover has not dropped to [-].Lao Tan wanted to ask how much it sold today, and see if it can break through [-] this month.

Accountant Li said that it had sold 98 until yesterday, and it would be no problem to sell 900,000 by the end of the month according to this ratio.Old Tan was not so optimistic. Thinking about the banquet ordering situation in the second half of the month, he summed it up. If there is no accident, 800,000 of 900,000 is guaranteed, and [-] of [-] is not a problem.

After coming out of the financial room, he entered Mr. Xu's office.

Mr. Xu was sitting behind the desk, seeing Lao Tan coming in with a smile on his face, and warmly greeted him to sit down.It’s nothing else to find Lao Tan. Dongfang Cuisine sent him an invitation letter. At the end of the month, the KTP investigation team went to Chengdu for inspection and invited him to come.

During this period of time, the business of the hotel has increased, and Lao Tan has contributed a lot. He is going to Chengdu with Lao Tan, and the second is to go out for a trip to relax.

This is of course a good thing. Lao Tan has not been out since he went to Wuhan last year, and he also wants to go out for a walk.

"Who else do you want to take?" Mr. Xu asked.

"Chengdu's catering is very good, especially in terms of service, it is famous all over the country, and you can bring a front desk there." Lao Tan said.

"Ask Manager Zhang to go with us?" Mr. Xu asked inquiringly.

"You decide, you are the boss." Old Tan said.

The two made up their minds, and finally didn't ask Zhang Li to go.Because Lao Tan left, Wang Gang wasn't always in the store, leaving Hu Jing alone for fear that he wouldn't be able to fix it, so it's better to ask Hu Jing to go, and Zhang Li is at home.Moreover, Zhang Li has already gone out to investigate once, but Hu Jing has not gone out once.

"Take Hu Jing there this time. November should not be too busy. Let's organize a few key management personnel and go to Hong Kong for a while." Mr. Xu said enthusiastically.

"Go to Hong Kong?" Old Tan was a little puzzled.

"Well, go to Hong Kong, everyone has been doing this with me for a long time, take it out for a while." Mr. Xu said seriously.

Old Tan gave Mr. Xu a thumbs up and said, "Bright!"

It is indeed good to go to Hong Kong, which is also a benefit for the management.But Lao Tan raised a different opinion. He suggested that the management should not take the management to travel for the time being, and it would be more appropriate to save the money and use it for employee benefits.

First of all, improve the staff accommodation conditions.

Renting a separate dormitory for the management staff who live in the dormitory is also taking care of them.The management personnel do not live in the dormitories, and the employees are more relaxed. Each dormitory is equipped with TV, Internet, air-conditioning, re-shaving, and replacing the doors and windows.The living conditions are good, and the employees love it.

Then mentioned the work point system, explained the work point system management to Mr. Xu in detail, and then said: "My opinion is that the management has time to travel whenever they want, so don't worry, let's lay the foundation for employees first. Ha ha, Spend your money wisely, right?"

Mr. Xu has a little understanding of work point system management, but not too much. After listening to Lao Tan's detailed explanation, he feels very good and agrees very much.Especially in terms of salary, if the work point system is implemented, the points will naturally increase when the points are reached, and the increase will not increase if the points are not enough. It is very fair, and the employees have no complaints.

This is good, unlike in the past when the salary was raised, he would have a headache. He would have opinions on whether to give him a raise or not.

"Old Tan, do lotus and chopping boards get the same salary increase as the chef?" Mr. Xu asked.

"It's not the same." Old Tan said, "Otherwise, I plan to discuss this matter with you in the next two days. It depends on the two of us. The cutting board, the lotus table, the grocery, the waiter, the logistics, the chef, the management staff, the salary increase has to be determined in advance. If you come out, you have to decide on benefits and benefits. Take the trip to Hong Kong you just mentioned. It can’t be all the management, and the employees will be angry when they see it. You can choose two employees with high scores to go together. Employees also have an incentive.”

"That's the case." Mr. Xu nodded.

The two studied the work point system in the office, set the salary increase amount for each position, and set the benefits that reached the corresponding points, so that the entire work point system management was basically perfect.

In order to get immediate results, Mr. Xu generously decided to give employees points from the time when the Guandong family opened.In this way, there are [-] employees who have worked for three years, directly accumulating [-] points, and their wages are three-level wages.

Take Li Xu and Li Zhongqing as an example. They will automatically receive a three-level salary increase of 300 yuan, and at the same time enjoy a corresponding benefit of 200 points—[-] yuan in children’s education funds.

In other words, each person is equivalent to a salary increase of 500 yuan.

By analogy, 25 employees who have worked for two years and [-] employees who have worked for one year have their wages increased according to the corresponding points.

After finishing these things, Lao Tan said to Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, you are very different from before, I admire you."

Mr. Xu smiled and said sincerely: "Employees are the greatest wealth. The more they earn, the more I earn."

"There are not many bosses who can see this, and our family promises to get better and better." Old Tan said.

"Hehe, this is mainly due to your credit. To be honest, if there is no business, no one will lose money and raise wages. Our family is earning money now-the money is not earned by one person. I take my part, and the rest belongs to the employees, right? .”

Mr. Xu now makes Lao Tan look at him with admiration, he is completely different from two years ago.

People are growing up.

Mr. Xu finally said with emotion: "Old Tan, I have studied a lot in the past two years, especially Chinese studies. I have always learned. If you don't study, you can't do it. If you can't open up the structure, you can't do big things. Now the restaurant is difficult to do, and the competition is big. If it is the same as before It seems to be a dead end. Thanks to your reminder today, when will the employees be put first. In addition, the relationship between the boss and the employees is no longer a simple employment relationship, but a cooperation. This point of view has to be changed.

In the past two years, Wang Gang has learned a lot. How can I say that I am the boss, but the management is not good.Just like what you said, a good investor is not necessarily a good manager. Management is something that professionals do. Once the boss gets involved, things get messy, and the mess gets worse.I also let Wang Gang and Zhang Li take care of it. They also tried their best, but they were still close, just like playing football, just missed the goal.

I can see it, but I don't know how to fix it. If the on-site management is really not as good as the two of them.Hehe, you can do it, management wizards, it is right to invite you back. "

"I'm also rushing forward, mainly because I like management and am willing to do it. It's like drinking, and I'm addicted." Old Tan said modestly.

"Yes, you old Tan is dedicated to his work. Everyone accepts this. You have to do your job like this. If you don't work, you can't get results. You have to have this kind of energy. If Wang Gang is better than you are now, he will blame me , I always tell him to run away, and if he runs wild, he is poor in management. He is also good, and my restaurant has kept him since he is not a prostitute, and he has been a buddy for more than ten years." Mr. Xu said.

"Mr. Xu, you are a nice person. Let's see, our family is guaranteed to be famous in the whole city, and we will work hard to become famous in the whole country."

"It's up to you, Old Tan."
