Another seven or eight days have passed, and today is the day when the decoration of the hot pot restaurant is completed. At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Qu Lianjie, led by the store manager Zhao Mei, inspected and inspected the acceptance. While watching, he couldn't help but nod and sigh:
"Looking at the finished product, it's more shocking than the renderings. How many tables do we have here now?"
Although the hot pot restaurant is not open, Zhao Mei has been keeping an eye on it during this period. It can be said that she knows everything about it. When she heard the boss's question, she immediately replied:
"We have a total of 82 tables upstairs and downstairs. The first and second floors are scattered tables, and the third floor is private rooms!"
Qu Lianjie nodded when he heard this and continued to ask questions while walking upstairs:
"We have all the staff here, right? How is the training situation now? We will be opening soon, so don't be in a hurry then!"
Zhao Mei walked behind Qu Lianjie and answered with a very confident smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Qu. I can assure you about what you mentioned. When we open for business, our waiters will never have such a problem!"
"Because all our employees are still undergoing training in the private room on the third floor. This kind of professional training will continue until the day before the opening!"
When Qu Lianjie heard that the employees were still training, he planned to go and have a look, and turned back and said:
"Come on, let's go take a look. It's still in 306, right?"
"Yes, I'll take you there!" Zhao Mei said and took Qu Lianjie to the waiter training box.
After opening it and going in, Zhao Mei clapped her hands and said loudly to all the waiters who were doing training:
"Everyone, please pause for a moment. Our boss, Mr. Qu, is here to visit you. Now, Mr. Qu, please say a few words to everyone!"
Qu Lianjie walked in and took a look, couldn't help but nodded, very satisfied with the more than 20 professionally trained waiters in front of him.
He cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone has only one goal when they come to this big city like Magic City, which is to make money. But what I want to tell you is that I will never open just one store in the future. Now the address of the first branch has been selected. !”
"In the future, the branch foremen will only be born among you, including store managers. So as long as you work hard, you are a waiter now, and you will not stop at the waiter position in the future!"
Speaking of this, Qu Lianjie shouted loudly:
"Do you have the confidence to make our common cause bigger and stronger?"
"Have confidence~" Everyone answered together under the leadership of store manager Zhao Mei.
Qu Lianjie nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhao Mei standing in front:
"Manager Zhao, today is the 29th, and we will open on the 1st the day after tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard in training and has made rapid progress. I think I will give everyone a day off tomorrow."
When all the employees here heard that they were going to have a holiday, their faces lit up with joy.
Qu Lianjie naturally noticed their expressions and continued with a smile:
"In the dormitory, you should recharge your batteries and meet the challenges brought by the opening the day after tomorrow. It can be expected that the day after tomorrow will be very busy, but don't worry, as the saying goes, as long as I make money, I will never treat you badly. !”
"Thank you, Mr. Qu~" Everyone still thanked under the leadership of Zhao Mei.
Qu Lianjie waved his hand upon seeing this:
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense. Everyone, please go back and rest early. Store Manager Zhao is here with me!"
After saying that, Qu Lianjie and Zhao Mei went straight to the kitchen, intending to check the condition of the ingredients. After arriving in the kitchen, he asked the head chef, Master Liu, who was directing the preparation of ingredients:
"How is Lao Liu? Are you missing anything? Are all the materials ready? We will be opening the day after tomorrow!"
When Master Liu saw that the boss was coming, he turned around and replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Qu. Everything is basically ready. I guarantee that the opening will not be delayed the day after tomorrow. If anything goes wrong in the kitchen, you will deduct my salary then!"
Qu Lianjie just asked casually. After hearing the assurance from the head chef, Master Liu, he reached out and patted his shoulder to encourage him:
"As long as you have confidence, tell everyone to go back early after finishing it, so that everyone can rest early!"
After that, he took the store manager Zhao Mei and left the kitchen, giving instructions as he walked:
"Manager Zhao, I just remembered something. If you have time, ask someone to go to the mall to buy some small stools. If there are really many people when the store opens the day after tomorrow, you can't let customers stand outside and wait. At the very least, let them have a place to sit. A place to sit!”
Zhao Mei nodded after hearing this, and then complimented:
"You are so attentive. I didn't expect any of this. Now that the mall is closed, I will ask someone to buy it tomorrow!"
After Qu Lianjie walked to the lobby on the first floor, he turned to Zhao Mei who was following behind and said with a smile:
"Manager Zhao, you also accompanied me and looked around a lot. I know you have been watching in the store during this period, and it is really hard for you. You should go back and rest early today~"
Zhao Mei replied very politely:
"This is all as it should be, Mr. Qu, please go back and drive slower!"
…
In a blink of an eye, October 1 came, the day when the hot pot restaurant opened. At 9 a.m., Qu Lianjie and store manager Zhao Mei stood outside to welcome guests.
The first one to come was Wang Xu. After he parked the car, he walked over with a golden toad in his hand and congratulated Qu Lianjie:
"Boss Qu, congratulations, today is your special day, I wish you good luck with your business!"
Seeing that there was no one else, Qu Lianjie took a step forward, stretched out his right hand and gave him a gentle hammer, pretending to be angry and said:
"You didn't tell me to come earlier. I've been so busy this day. Hurry up and put the things there and help me welcome the guests~"
After saying that, he turned to Zhao Mei beside him and said:
"Manager Zhao, please take the things and take them in. Then you don't have to accompany me here. Boss Wang Xuwang is here. Just now, Xiao Zhang at the front desk said that some of the menus can't be found. Hurry up and take a look. ~"
"Okay, Mr. Qu, I'll go over and take a look!" Zhao Mei replied respectfully to Qu Lianjie.
Then he looked at Wang Xu and said politely:
"Mr. Wang, just leave the things to me!"
Wang Xu handed the things in his hand to Zhao Mei, stood at the door with Qu Lianjie, and joked in a low voice:
"I'm a guest. Besides, I haven't promised to help you yet. Why have you arranged this? My appearance fee is quite expensive!"
When Qu Lianjie heard this, he glared at him:
"Go away, you dare to mention that the appearance fee is expensive, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will kneel down like a little red guy like you!"
"Besides, I called you specifically yesterday and asked you to come early. Why didn't you wait for me to finish my work before coming over? Look what time it is?"
Wang Xu retorted in a low voice after hearing this:
"These guests haven't even come yet. Why are you so anxious? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"Oh, Mr. Qu, congratulations!" Afterwards, some of Qu Lianjie's former fair-weather friends came over to support him.
It would be difficult to expect this group of people to help you, but if you let them join in the fun, they will come faster than the last.
Then it slowly started to attract people. Because of the previous promotion on the Internet, many people had seen the promotional video carefully prepared by Qian Yi on Weibo or QQ group, and they were all curious about what this store was like. , also came here specially to join in the fun.
It was a very lively day. Not only was the store full, there were many people lining up outside. Of course, many of them were invited by Qu Lianjie, just to enhance the atmosphere, and the purpose was to quickly gain popularity.
