When he heard these words, the chef felt that all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and his eyes were filled with darkness. 》乐>文》Novel www.しwxs.com
As a result, Yin Lian continued: "The current situation in the store is very good, so we will increase our efforts to expand. I have discussed with Manager Hu before and we will open three to five branches in several important big cities in the country. , a part of the waiters and chefs will be sent there at that time. The new batch of waiters are already being trained..."
After she gasped for breath, the chef came to life again in an instant, and then complained angrily to Yin Lian's big turn of words with a black thread, thinking, little boss, I, Lao Wang, have offended you! ? Are you talking with such big breaths? Although we had an argument about the menu, wasn't that necessary for work?
Having said that, the chef feels relieved at least.
Yin Lian had actually been paying attention to the changes in everyone's expressions when he spoke, so when he saw the chef's startled look, he roughly guessed his mental activities.
So after announcing the matter, she entered Hu Yuze's office and called Chef Wang alone to talk.
Yin Lian is actually quite satisfied with Chef Wang. Chef Wang's craftsmanship is good, but not top-notch, and actually falls short of Yin Lian's needs.
But one good thing about him is that he is not too headstrong. Many hotel chefs have this problem, and some even try to fight against the boss. Although Hu Yuze is managing the restaurant now, Yin Lian is very strong. She makes most of the decisions in one word and doesn't like anyone competing with her for the right to speak.
Yin Lian herself is very talented, but her talent is not only reflected in the level of IQ, but also in the level of emotional intelligence. Although she often puts on a arrogant face like "Why am I surrounded by a group of stupid mortals?", she also knows how to appreciate the advantages and shining points of these mortals and listen to their opinions that are not too outrageous. .
Of course, whether to adopt it or not depends on Yin Lian’s personal judgment.
Although Chef Wang can be regarded as one of the "stupid mortals", he is too petty in many ideas and lacks enough perspective on the overall situation, but he is self-aware at least, as long as Yin Lian is willing to explain specific decisions to the other party in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Meaning, he can still listen to it and strictly implement it.
This alone makes Yin Lian feel quite satisfied. Although she is confident that she can conquer the chef no matter how difficult it is, a chef who is easy to communicate with is always more comfortable than a chef who always requires the boss to spend a lot of time and effort to control.
After Yin Lian called Chef Wang into the office, he smiled and said, "Master Wang, please sit down."
Chef Wang had just calmed down a little bit before, but after being treated like this by her, it was inevitable that he would feel depressed again.
Yin Lian said: "Don't be too nervous. I just asked you to come here to talk about the next arrangements. These arrangements also rely on your strong cooperation. We are currently cooperating happily. I will only treat you as Master Wang in the future." You don’t have to worry unnecessarily as you rely more and more on it.”
For this reason, it didn't sound like he wanted to fire him. Chef Wang finally relaxed and said, "The little boss is a man with calculations in his heart. I believe you."
Yin Lian said: "I think you have also discovered that the skills of these people I brought are very good. But skills alone are not enough to become a chef in a restaurant. Although their skills are good, in other respects But they are far less experienced than you, Master Wang. The most important thing is that they are used to their hometown dialect and can barely speak a few words of Mandarin."
"As for Master Wang... To be honest, don't be angry. With your current skills, I actually hope to arrange for you to continue your training. This matter does not need to be done now, and it is not your skills that I am interested in. , but your character, temperament, and work attitude. Craftsmanship can be learned and practiced, but character and temperament are difficult to change. How about saying that a country is easy to change, but a nature is hard to change?"
When she said these few words, although most of them were praising Master Wang, they were indescribably sincere and made people feel comfortable listening to them.
She said earlier that Master Wang was not good at his craftsmanship, which made him feel a little nervous. After all, as a chef, you rely on your craftsmanship to eat. Although Master Wang has indeed realized that his craftsmanship has great shortcomings - for example, the recipes that Yin Lian brought before and the foreign chefs that he brought today have made Master Wang deeply aware that he is not a good chef. The craftsmanship pales in comparison. But even so, being told this to his face still made him feel a bit embarrassed.
But it was because Yin Lian bluntly pointed out his shortcomings in craftsmanship that the young boss's frankness and sincerity became even more evident. Master Wang himself has realized the shortcomings in his craftsmanship, and his integrity and excellence in character are what Master Wang has always been proud of. So when he realized that Yin Lian had discovered this and admired him very much, the previous displeasure caused by Yin Lian's criticism of his poor craftsmanship disappeared instantly.
In other words, in Master Wang's eyes, these differences have become content that can be faced frankly without feeling too stinging.
He replied: "Little boss, you are ridiculous. But I do feel that my skills are far behind those of real chefs. If possible, I am willing to spend time to learn... and I hope to learn from those few Chefs learn.”
Yin Lian suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, those chefs...not just those few, all the people who came today are very good at their craftsmanship. But Master Wang, you don't have to be depressed, because it's not that you are inferior to They, but you, grew up in a different environment. They grew up in a place where almost everyone is a chef, and there is a gap in experience between you."
"But..." She changed her tone and said, "They are not a secret craft, and most of the techniques are not kept secret, so if you can, Master Wang, you can steal it. "
When she said this, she smiled rather slyly.
Master Wang was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Wouldn't this be bad?"
Yin Lian shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter... think of it this way, their cooking skills are actually learned in places like schools or training organizations. You will know when you look back at their cooking style Now, you can decide for yourself whether you want to do this or not.”
After hearing this, Master Wang thought about it and felt that Yin Lian's proposal was actually feasible, so he wrote the idea down.
Yin Lian continued: "But craftsmanship alone is not enough. So what I want to say next is the key point - I will separate the positions of executive chef and head chef. Next, Master Wang, you will no longer be a general Instead of taking on the responsibilities of a chef, I started to serve as an executive chef, specifically responsible for managing and arranging these new chefs.”
Master Wang was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "Let me take care of them?"
To be honest, this appointment is quite gratifying.
But Master Wang is an honest man after all, and he is very self-aware of his own abilities, so he hesitated and said: "...I don't think this is very good. They are all so good at their craftsmanship and let me take care of it. I'm afraid of them. I won’t be convinced.”
Yin Lian felt helpless after hearing this. This is the disadvantage of honest people - usually chefs will be happy when they hear this kind of news, but it turns out that Master Wang's temperament is so hesitant and hesitant.
Yin Lian decided to continue pushing and said: "Master Wang, although the position of executive chef also requires good skills, if you are not fluent in language expression or lack the basic management ability of the kitchen, you will definitely not be able to hold it. Consider it. At this point, your next job is not only to arrange various affairs in the kitchen, but also to be responsible for communicating with them, managing them, and letting them work for the restaurant. In this matter, it is impossible not to have some control over the kitchen. , so no one can serve except you."
Yin Lian had reached this point, and Chef Wang finally took on the responsibility.
In the following time, he spent a lot of effort to understand the situation of the new chefs, and also took the initiative to try to communicate with them.
After Master Wang learned a few necessary key words from Yin Lian, he began to lead and train these newcomers.
While they were busy, Yin Lian and Hu Yuze also began to sort out information about the stores they would open in the future. Because of the increase in manpower, Hu Yuze immediately relaxed a lot and discussed with Yin Lian the specific plan for the new restaurant.
The new restaurant is less a restaurant than a series of composite types of clubs. Hu Yuze referred to the current practice of an aquarium-style restaurant, and also set the style for several restaurants that will be opened soon, and even directly asked the designers to design the restaurants according to the corresponding style.
These five restaurants are very particular about their style, location and customer target. For example, these five stores have basically been set with their own decoration and activity styles. So far, there are five different positionings, namely Han and Tang Dynasty style, desert oasis, future world, era of innocence and return to nature.
Taking the Han and Tang Dynasty style as an example, not only will the restaurant itself be decorated in the Han and Tang style, but the waiters inside will also be trained and dressed up to look like Tang Dynasty ladies or Orchids. Hu Yuze plans to design all uniforms to look like retro Hanfu, and at the same time, the types and styles of food should be as highly restored as possible - of course in terms of appearance and description. The taste still needs to be modernized and improved to ensure that it meets the tastes of modern people.
Not only will there be performances such as Hu Xuan dance and acrobatics in the restaurant, but Hu Yuze also plans to design some activities such as tea fighting, chess games, storytelling, etc. to show the Han and Tang styles as much as possible.
In this case, compared to restaurants, it is actually more like the approach of some specialty clubs.
But this was originally what Yin Lian meant. Based on her knowledge of Qiu Bi and Qian Sheng's industry, the semi-catering and semi-club format with rich activities was very popular, and many wealthy people were willing to show off.
Yin Lian carefully read Hu Yuze's plan and was quite satisfied with his specific plan. However, Hu Yuze also had doubts and said: "But according to my investigation, it is said that there is already a large and famous restaurant-style club in Jiufuli in Yanjing... We really want to open the restaurant Is it nearby? Isn’t it going to be direct competition?”
Yin Lian thought to herself, that's why I want to build the restaurant nearby.
However, this cannot be said directly.
Yin Lian said: "That place is close to several wealthy villa areas, and it is quite antique. It fits our theme of 'Han and Tang Style'. Building it there will be of great benefit to our development."
"Furthermore, doesn't Manager Hu have confidence in the development of our restaurant? We have the freshest ingredients, the best chefs, and the best service methods...Don't you think this still allows us to compete with a restaurant in the same industry?" ?”
Hu Yuze thought about it and thought so, so he didn't say anything more.
Even if the matter is settled like this.
