Chapter 47 Employee Training
"12 stores, recruiting 12 salespeople? Xiaoyu! I think recruiting 10 at most is enough. In the early stage, I even think recruiting 8 will be enough. There are 4 stores left, and we can take over. This can save a lot of costs, right?”

The eldest cousin Fang Jiahui's habit of calculating money made her unable to help but make this suggestion to Yang Xingyu.

Yang Xingyu nodded, "Sister, from the perspective of cost saving, you are right, but when we open a chain store like this, we already have an advantage in terms of staffing."

Fang Jiahui was puzzled, "How to say?"

Song Xiaoqiang and Jiang Jie also looked over.

Yang Xingyu: "Think about it! Generally, a roast duck restaurant requires at least two or three people to be busy. Let's calculate it as less. A roast duck restaurant requires two people, and 12 restaurants require 24 people. And we How many people are there now? Even if we recruit 12 more salespeople, there will only be 16 people. This is our advantage!"

Song Xiaoqiang nodded slightly.

Jiang Jie said with a smile: "Chain stores do have such advantages."

Fang Jiahui frowned and retorted: "But if we save a few more people, wouldn't the advantage be greater?"

Yang Xingyu shook his head, "Sister, we will serve as substitutes from now on! Occasionally, when a salesperson is sick or asks for leave, we will select one or two people to take over. Besides, we all have our own jobs every day. It’s very busy. We have to get up at four or five in the morning every morning to make goods. If we sell goods at the same time, we will really have to work from chicken to ghost.”

There were two other reasons he didn't say.

First, there are 12 salesmen. It is impossible for all of them to be successful at what they do. Some of them will definitely want to resign after not working for a few days.

Second, when he gets a little more money later, he will have to expand the number of stores. If the current staffing is so tight, he will be even busier when he expands new stores later.

The salesperson he needs here is different from the salesperson for other products.

At least you need to be able to chop roast duck.

There are certain requirements for knife skills.

It doesn’t mean that you can just find a few people and get started right away.

……

In the next three days, Yang Xingyu and others became completely busy.

Purchase kitchen appliances and kitchen utensils, contact supply sources, purchase various seasonings and spices, recruit salespersons, etc.

Every night, Yang Xingyu and Song Xiaoqiang have to cook spicy oil, boil brine, study dishes, etc.

This time when he came to the city to open a chain store, Yang Xingyu's idea was to sell the main dish (roast duck) at a low price, so as to open up sales, grab customers, and leave the money making to other dishes.

Therefore, developing some new dishes as soon as possible is a top priority.

When he was selling roast duck in his hometown, he had already developed some new products.

For example, braised pig trotters, tiger skin chicken feet, braised pig head meat, braised qianzhang, salted edamame, salted peanuts, fried peanuts, etc.

Now that he has opened a chain store in the city, the consumption power of urban people is definitely far higher than that of rural people. He feels that it is necessary to develop some new products.

For example, couple's lung slices, soy sauce stick bones, soy sauce beef, braised pork intestines, braised pork belly, crispy fish, pickled pepper chicken feet, hot and sour kelp shreds and so on.

For three days in a row, several people were so busy that their heels hit the back of their heads.

The sales staff are currently full.

Eight of them are willing to live in the dormitory and have arranged rooms on the second floor.

That night, Yang Xingyu asked his eldest cousin to order twelve slaughtered ducks.

The city's duck suppliers have relatively complete services and can supply both live ducks and slaughtered ducks.

It saves Yang Xingyu and the others the work of killing ducks every day.

"Will it open tomorrow? Are the 12 ducks missing?"

Fang Jiahui asked questions.

Yang Xingyu: "No! We will open the day after tomorrow. We will give you a training tomorrow. By the way, we will let you try our roast duck so that everyone can have an idea of ​​the taste of our roast duck."

"Training? Training for what?"

"Cut the roast duck! We run a chain store, so we try to unify the way each salesperson cuts the roast duck."

Fang Jiahui was a little confused. She didn't understand what was so good about training?
……

Early the next morning, Yang Xingyu, Song Xiaoqiang, Fang Jiahui, and Jiang Jie were busy in the kitchen.

The duck was delivered at 04:30 in the morning.

As soon as the ducks were delivered, Yang Xingyu and the others got up and started working.

Song Xiaoqiang doesn't know how to cook roast duck.

Therefore, for the time being, Yang Xingyu can only do the technical work himself.Song Xiaoqiang and the others could only take action.

For example, cleaning duck internal organs, removing duck feet, duck wings, etc.

At dawn, the first pot of five roast ducks was put out of the oil pan. As time passed, the aroma of roast duck began to spread everywhere.

It didn't take long to attract all eight saleswomen living upstairs.

By the way, although these eight saleswomen are not stunning in appearance, they are all young, all around 8 years old.

Their appearance is not outstanding, but they are all good-looking, and all of them are above average.

So is the figure.

This was specially chosen by Yang Xingyu.

What is important is that the appearance is average, which makes people feel comfortable, but does not make female customers feel strong jealousy, which in turn affects the business in the store.

In addition, according to his request, most of the 12 salespersons recruited this time are married.

In his opinion, a married woman has many advantages.

First of all, a woman with a family will have a more stable job and will not be as unrestrained as a single woman. If something goes wrong, she will ask you to resign on the spot.

Secondly, most married women can cook, and if they have some basic cooking skills, they will learn to chop roast duck faster.

Third, married women have more experience in dealing with people, and their tone of voice should generally be gentler, so that customers can have a better shopping experience.

and many more.

What makes him somewhat regretful is that among the 12 salesmen recruited this time, only two have experience in serving dishes in small restaurants.

Therefore, he specially arranged to train them how to chop roast duck today.

At around 8:4 in the morning, four other saleswomen who did not live in the dormitory also came.

Yang Xingyu summoned them all to the kitchen.

Today he was wearing a white chef's uniform.

In front of him were several chopping boards and boning knives, as well as three rectangular stainless steel trays. Each tray contained 4 prepared ducks, one of which was marinated salted duck.

Because the roast duck soup requires the use of salted duck soup.

The roast duck, freshly cooked, has a rich aroma.

The salted duck also emits another aroma at this time.

Twelve women in their 12s, as well as Fang Jiahui, Song Xiaoqiang, Jiang Jie and others, looked at these roast ducks, and from time to time someone swallowed quietly.

This early in the morning, facing 12 fragrant ducks is indeed a test of one's will.

Yang Xingyu looked at the 12 women standing opposite the operating table and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone to join our Yangji Roast Duck family! Your salary is the basic salary plus commission, so your income in the future does not depend on me, but on me. It depends on how many goods you can sell every day.

The quality of the goods will affect your sales. In order to increase everyone's confidence, I specially made these 12 ducks today. Firstly, it is for everyone to taste, and secondly!I’ll also give you some hands-on practice and learn how to chop roast duck. "

After a pause, Yang Xingyu continued: "Any delicacy that wants to arouse people's appetite must not only work hard on the color, aroma, taste and texture, but also pay attention to the presentation after it is cooked! The presentation It has to be exquisite and beautiful, and it will definitely make people want to eat it. On the contrary, it is like a big pot of food in the cafeteria. Now I will show you how to chop it and how to put it on the plate. Everyone, please watch!"

As he spoke, Yang Xingyu took a piece of black apron cloth and tied it around his waist.

He took a rag and wiped his hands, then put a disposable plastic glove on his left hand, and picked up the chopping board's bone chopping knife with his right hand.

With his gloved left hand, he took a roast duck and placed it on the chopping board.

What follows is a show.

He hasn't practiced knife skills for a long time, but knife skills have already become his instinct.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they may not know what to do with a whole roast duck.

But under his sword, there is almost no unnecessary action.

Every cut is clean.

Chop the neck, cut the whole roast duck in half, remove the thighs, half the roast duck body, cut it into two vertically, and then skillfully chop it with more than a dozen knives, then chop it all into evenly sized pieces.

In view of the limited knife skills of these women, he did not teach them the more difficult but also more beautiful knife technique for sliced ​​roast duck.

Teach them the common simple knife technique of chopping roast duck into chunks.

Even so, his smooth operation still left these 12 women stunned.
