Back in front of his kitchen counter, Zhao Meng was anxious and helpless.
Customers were about to arrive, and there were six large banquet tables. Unless he grew two more hands, he would not be able to set them up at all.
If that doesn't work, let Yao Shi help find someone to help with the cooking?
no!
As soon as the idea came to mind, Zhao Meng dismissed it.
If we really invite people here, things will definitely be more troublesome.
After all, the regular customers who come to dine here come specifically for him, and what they want to eat is the taste of his cooking.
No matter how skilled the chef is, he has always had a habit of cooking alone, and the taste must be different.
Otherwise, let the person in the front office contact the customer who placed the order and ask if they can come over for dinner at another time?
Of these six orders, it would be great to reject even one!
As for whether customers will find fault because they are disappointed and angry? !
I couldn't care less at this point.
If it really doesn't work, even if I offer free door-to-door service and apologize afterwards, I'll accept it.
As long as the customer doesn't come in, everything is easy. Once he sits in the store, everyone in the kitchen will be involved.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng turned around and told Fu Yu: "Fu Yu, go say hello to the front office and ask them to contact the customers who placed orders tonight and ask them... to see if they can change the date of the order. , or you can switch to door-to-door service, I am willing to waive the service fee."
Fu Yu was stunned: "Chef Zhao, it's almost half past four, and the customers are probably already on their way! It's definitely too late to push orders at this time, and aren't we all ready? Come later Now that we’re here, just open fire! We’ve already taken the order, how can we push it out any further? Customers must not do it..."
Zhao Meng glared: "What if I don't push it? Yao Yihang from the kitchen kitchen has taken a temporary leave, and he has no time to help us. We will come directly for six large banquets in a while. Who can arrange it in one go? You can!"
"And I can't care about that now. At least the customer hasn't come in. We still have to discuss everything. When people get there, if you say whether the food will be served, then there will be a conflict."
Zhao Meng made up his mind. If the dish couldn't be served in time, even if he pushed the order, he couldn't keep the customers waiting.
As for being embarrassed or something else?
Does this make sense in terms of the hotel's reputation?
Fu Yu nodded and said seriously: "I can do it. Chef Zhao, let's join hands and rush as much as possible. As long as you move faster and coordinate the order of the dishes when cooking, there should be no problem!"
Zhao Meng was so angry that he laughed!
"Do you think now is the time to show off? When customers come to eat, they are hungry. The kitchen has been slow to serve food. If there is a dispute, do you think it can be solved with an apology? Then What’s lost is the customer base!”
"It's not easy to accumulate these old customers I have. If my reputation is ruined because of this incident, if word spreads in the future, will I still be able to survive?"
"Gu Yunwu just wants to see my joke. I was thinking before, why did he suddenly become so talkative this time? He is waiting for me here!"
The more Zhao Meng talked, the angrier he became. He was really anxious before and his mind was full of how to solve this matter.
Now calm down and think about it for a moment, you will realize that you are being cheated!
Yao Yihang had nothing to do in the morning and nothing in the evening, so why did he ask for leave to go home at this juncture?
What about the liar?
Zhao Meng urged: "Okay, hurry up and go to the front office and ask them to contact the customer. If they can push it, push it. If it can't be done, let's talk again."
At this time, the ordering clerk came over and informed: "Chef Zhao, the customer who placed the order is here, private room 215, table of 16 dishes."
Zhao Meng asked hurriedly: "Hey, can you talk to the front desk and help contact the customers who placed orders at other tables to see if the time can be postponed to tomorrow?"
The ordering clerk was stunned: "It definitely won't work! It's already dinner time. If I could have pushed the order when I first took it, now customers are coming to the door, so this definitely won't work."
Zhao Meng also knew that there was a high probability that this would be a failure. As the chef leading the team, he had to be decisive.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time.
Zhao Meng turned around and told Fu Yu: "Hurry up and fire, the customers are already here!"
Fu Yu felt relieved and nodded quickly.
Customers who booked private room 215 ordered a total of 16 dishes, all of which are specialties of the store, and mainly stir-fried and spicy dishes.
The ingredients have already been packed away, and now you can start cooking directly.
Zhao Meng picked up the stir-fried dishes that he was good at and tore off the list.
In addition, there was a stew, which was troublesome and troublesome to make, so he also kept it.
He only handed Fu Yu the remaining cold dishes and vegetables.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
Fu Yu simply handed over the cooking work to Sun Qingning and asked him to go directly to the stove and help him cook.
Sun Qingning was extremely pleasantly surprised.
What he had always done before was menial work that was soaked in oil.
There has never been an opportunity like this to pass the oil twice and put it directly on the stove.
With this excitement, I started to talk a lot without realizing it.
Sun Qingning took advantage of the frying time to whisper to Fu Yu: "Fu Chu, I found that Gu Chu is actually quite a loser!"
Since the last heart-to-heart talk at dinner, Sun Qingning has completely calmed down and is following Fu Yu to help cook.
After getting along for a long time, he also discovered that Fu Yu is actually a pretty good person, easy to talk to, has no temper, and is very reliable.
As a result, we became more and more warm and casual when we got along with each other on weekdays.
Fu Yu smiled and said nothing.
Sun Qingning continued: "While eating just now, I was wondering why he suddenly became interested in talking to you. Now I understand! He just wants to encourage you, not to praise you at all. This is I want to harm you!"
"He promised Chef Zhao that he was willing to help, and then he turned around and let Yao Yihang go. Looking back, Chef Zhao couldn't find anything to do with him."
"Then he even encouraged you to take the lead. If something goes wrong later and we are the ones being tricked, he can watch happily from the side!"
"He obviously sees you as young and energetic, and is thinking of ways to irritate you."
The more Sun Qingning talked, the angrier he became, and whatever good impression he had left on Gu Yunwu completely disappeared.
I didn't realize it before, but Gu Yunwu made a particularly good impression on outsiders.
He has no airs, is easy to talk to, and is very polite to the workers.
Unlike Zhao Meng, who has a calm face no matter what happens, but gets angry and yells at every turn.
But now that we have been together for a long time, no one can tell it unless they are a fool.
Gu Yunwu is actually a two-faced person, doing one thing in front of others and another behind his back.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Meng who had a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
The two didn't get along at first.
Now that Zhao Meng is in trouble, what kind of kindness can Gu Yunwu have?
Sun Qingning was filled with indignation and said these words for Fu Yu's good, fearing that he would be deceived by Gu Yunwu.
Fu Yu understood Sun Qingning's kindness in his heart, but he did not agree with it.
In the workplace, criticizing others is taboo.
Even though it was Sun Qingning who started the topic now, he obviously had good intentions.
But it’s okay if you accept it from your heart, there is no need to discuss it together.
