Yao Yihang frowned slightly, a big family dinner?
"I understand. My phone was muted during the training and I didn't receive a call from Chef Gu."
After explaining casually, Yao Yihang quickened his pace.
Yao Yihang agreed easily, but in his heart Yao Yihang complained a lot.
Gu Yunwu has always been like this. As long as it is a big banquet, he will hand over the order to him without saying a word.
It's just small banquet noodles, and Qi Shun has to do the heavy work of stir-frying and other cooking tasks.
Several people under his command were being ordered around by Gu Yunwu.
Qi Shun was quite happy. After all, it was a rare opportunity to practice his skills on the stove.
The workers were quite contented. There was an extra cook, and another worker was brought up to help cook.
Moreover, when Gu Yunwu was too lazy to stretch his hands, he would always ask workers to come over and do tasks like re-oiling.
Compared with Zhao Meng's clear division of work, the people on Gu Yunwu's side had more opportunities to practice.
But for Yao Yihang, it is hard work.
Gu Yunwu refused to lend a hand, so he had to do all the work in the kitchen.
Although I have become a full-time employee now, and every table seat comes with a commission, it is still very tiring to stand there from morning to night.
He obviously did the most work, but ended up getting the least commission money. As time went by, Yao Yihang felt increasingly unbalanced.
But it’s not an option if I don’t work. I thought about changing jobs before, but the salary I received every month was quite considerable.
After such hesitation, the original idea of resolutely resigning was somewhat shaken.
When people live in this world, they always have to sacrifice for this salary.
Yao Yihang cursed in his heart and kept walking without stopping.
Gu Yunwu is the chef and his immediate boss.
The leader had spoken, and he, a cook in charge, had no choice but to obey orders.
As soon as Yao Yihang returned to the kitchen, he took the order form from Gu Yunwu.
It was supposed to be a dinner for a large family. Not counting the staple food and soup, a total of eighteen dishes were ordered.
"Lu Yao and the others have been asked to prepare the dishes." Gu Yunwu warned: "The customer has made a reservation to dine at the restaurant at 11:30 noon, so we must start preparations now."
Yao Yihang suddenly realized that it was a reservation.
When the waiter delivered the prepared ingredients, Yao Yihang started cooking.
...
For restaurants, the Dan season is only a short period of one month, and in a blink of an eye, business is booming again.
Just after eleven o'clock every morning, customers begin to come in one after another to dine.
In the front hall, the ordering area is the most lively. All the ordering staff are in their respective positions and take turns receiving customers according to the order of the day.
Liu Yuqing lined up behind Jiang Mo.
She is now able to receive customers independently, so Jiang Mo, who has a good temper and experience, is appointed by the foreman Gao Wenjing to lead the newcomers.
Waiting for the customers who had just arrived at the store to be greeted warmly by Jiang Mo to the ordering area, Liu Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward and stood in the waiting position.
She didn't wait long when she saw a waiter leading two customers over.
A pair of sisters came. The elder sister looked to be in her mid-thirties, and the younger sister was younger.
The two sisters look very similar, especially their eyebrows, as if they were carved from the same mold.
When customers come to order food, they are usually greeted by waiters. If there are many people, they are taken directly to the open room or private room. The customer in charge of ordering is guided to the ordering area.
However, the waiter who brought these two customers was not the person who led the way in the front office, but the exclusive waiter in charge of the private room on the second floor.
Liu Yuqing hurriedly came forward with a smile: "Hello! Please go this way to order!"
Without waiting for the customer to speak, the waiter who brought them over explained: "They are customers who made a reservation. When they placed the order before, they ordered soft-fried yellow croaker. News just came from the purchasing side that the yellow croaker will not be delivered until the afternoon, so Prepare for a different dish.”
Liu Yuqing understood it as soon as she heard it.
The seafood in the store has always been of high quality and quantity, and must be fresh.
So sometimes, if the quality of a certain type of seafood at the aquatic product store is not up to standard, the buyer can only temporarily switch to another store to buy it.
Things like this that cannot be replenished in time on the same day occasionally happen.
There has long been a tacit understanding between the waiters and order takers in the store. Purchases are always made in the morning. If there is no goods today, it means they are gone.
But in order to prevent customers from thinking that their own ingredients are not available, they say things like this to deceive them.
Liu Yuqing and the waiter exchanged quick glances with each other, and greeted the two customers enthusiastically: "Please come with me to choose a meal."
The waiter sent the person over, signed up for a dining room, and then turned around and left.
Liu Yuqing took the person to the dining area, and while the customer was choosing seafood, he quickly checked the reservation order, deleted the soft-fried yellow croaker dish, and was ready to add new dishes at any time.
But looking at it this way, Liu Yuqing was cautious. This customer was a reservation for a large banquet of noodles, including staple food and soup, a total of twenty-two dishes.
And several hard dishes are quite expensive.
For pre-orders like this, the seafood needs to be weighed, so most customers will have specific requirements in terms of weight.
However, there were no remarks on this customer's reservation form, indicating that the customer did not consider these at all when placing the order, and just made arrangements with the ordering clerk.
Customers like this who are not short of money can come to the store to dine once, and there will be a second time.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuqing's attitude became more enthusiastic.
Between the two sisters, it was obvious that the elder sister was in charge and the younger sister was accompanying them.
Liu Yuqing referred to the dishes on the order list and recommended two delicious dishes.
Sure enough, my sister quickly chose the soft fried fish fillet.
Liu Yuqing successfully answered the question correctly and continued her work.
After changing the dishes, the two sisters walked back to the box along the same route.
...
At this time, everyone in the kitchen was officially busy.
Yao Yihang took over the large banquet order and hurriedly cooked it.
As soon as the two dishes were cooked and the seafood soup was stewed, the waiter came with news that the customers who had made reservations had already arrived.
Yao Yihang agreed, and his movements became more and more deft.
He had just cooked a dish and was about to put it on the plate. The waiter who had come to deliver the message trotted over to report it.
"Chef Yao, customer 209 wants to add more dishes."
Yao Yihang was stunned: "Additional dishes? Where is the list?"
When customers want to add dishes, the waiter needs to add them directly to the order list, and then the waiter will hand the order to the kitchen.
The kitchen always cooks based on orders.
The waiter hurriedly explained: "The dishes the customer ordered are not the dishes that our store originally has, so there is no way to add them to the list."
Correct
Yao Yihang asked in surprise: "It's not a dish from our store, how can we cook it?"
The waiter said: "The person in charge of box 209 was Lin Lin. She went to the bathroom at that time. When the customer ordered, it was the new Wang Meng who took the order. She agreed directly without asking clearly. Yao Xiaochu, Lin Lin Let me come over and ask the kitchen if they can make this dish."
