It was almost mid-morning, and Jiuding Restaurant started to get busy.
Preparing dishes for lunch requires a lot of pre-processing.
For example, washing and chopping vegetables, and some need to be made into semi-finished products.
At the end, proceed to complete cooking.
This is how complex dishes cooked in restaurants are handled.
Jiuding restaurants all over the country have begun preparations one after another, and there has never been any temporary processing.
Magic City, Tingxiang, Zhou Tingyu got up from the bed.
This night, he was really hot.
"It turns out there is no such feeling."
Tingxiang Farm is in the countryside, surrounded by big trees and greenery, and it is close to mountains. It should not be hot at night.
But last night, he didn't sleep.
It feels very hot.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Sir, are you awake?"
Lao He walked in, carrying a basin with cool water and a towel in his hand.
He twisted the towel and gave it to Zhou Tingyu. Zhou Tingyu took it and wiped his face. He returned another towel and wiped his back, feeling that his back was covered with sweat.
"It's strange, it hasn't been this hot before. Has it suddenly gotten hotter these days?"
"Yeah, I'm about to fall into ambush."
Dog Days, the hottest time of the year, is even hotter than the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zhou Tingyu suddenly realized: "No wonder, why is it so hot? That's right."
He suddenly remembered: "I went to Jiuding Restaurant yesterday and enjoyed the air conditioning, so I felt hot last night."
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is really difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Zhou Tingyu sighed inwardly, twisted the towel again, scrubbed it a few times, and then said: "By the way, what did you eat this morning? I don't have much appetite."
"What do you want to eat? I'll let Lao Ma do it." Lao He took the towel and was about to leave. Zhou Tingyu thought for a while and said: "Just be a little Chaos, I don't have much appetite. By the way, let the financial people come over. Let’s meet at the restaurant.”
Zhou Tingyu stood up and changed his clothes. His pajamas were already wet with sweat.
It's no use even at the foot of the mountain, it's too hot.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it won't get colder until October.
But by then, there are still more than two months.
Even in October, the temperature has only cooled down slightly, and the scorching heat will not go away so easily.
It won’t be autumn until more than November.
But autumn is very short every year, and winter will soon enter.
It can only be said that the seasons on earth, spring and autumn are actually very short, and together they are almost the same as other seasons.
In winter and summer, it takes up most of the time.
He changed his clothes and there was no need to deal with it. The service staff of the farm would come and clean it up.
Speaking of which, this was also Su He's suggestion. According to the hotel's management, Zhou Tingyu had never heard of it.
We can even help with the guests’ clothes.
However, the farm will warmly remind guests: "Please take away everything in your pocket before asking the farm attendant to handle it."
This is to prevent the guests from losing anything valuable, and the farm really can’t tell.
"This guy always has some fantastic ideas. A farm is more enjoyable than those hotels. It is said that hotels in the city are complaining recently. This industry is really getting involved."
Zhou Tingyu had no idea of changing anything.
According to Su He's idea, after the farm made changes, many guests would rather drive to the suburbs to stay than stay in hotels in the city.
In their words, that is, the hotel is so expensive, the food is not good, the accommodation is not good, and the service is not good.
It's just that by spending a little more time and about the same money, you can live in a more comfortable environment, enjoy better food, and better services.
Why not?
The future of Tingxiang must be very wonderful.
Zhou Tingyu admired again in his heart that his previous decision was definitely very smart and reasonable.
Although Su He did not intervene in the specific management, every suggestion he made was so wise.
This young man always thinks of things that others have not thought of.
After changing clothes, Zhou Tingyu came out of the room. After a while, a waiter came to clean up. He would take away the clothes, sheets and other things.
The sheets and sheets here are changed every day.
It is equivalent to saying that the quilts used every day are newly changed and washed.
Zhou Tingyu originally thought it was too frequent and too troublesome.
But according to guest feedback, guests loved the decision.
Although as a result, Tingxiang will have some new expenses, at least the room service staff will need to pay wages.
But this part of the expenditure is far less than the growth of business.
Tingxiang in the past, well, it wasn’t called Tingxiang at that time.
At that time, most of the business was about personal connections.
Stop by and stay here for a day or two.
But now, many people come here specifically to live, which means business has opened up.
When we came to the restaurant, there were already many customers here.
Living in Tingxiang includes a breakfast, and there will be many varieties of breakfast in the breakfast restaurant.
Most of these chefs were seconded from Jiuding Restaurant. For this, Tingxiang needed to pay Jiuding Restaurant a lot of money.
But Zhou Tingyu felt that the money was worth spending.
Lao Ma alone cannot cope with the needs of so many guests.
There are many kinds of breakfast here, and the bottom is kept warm with a small stove and steamer.
Customers who want to eat can just take the plate and pick it up.
But there is one requirement, that is, not to waste too much.
Once too much is wasted, the farm has the right to ask guests to pay for breakfast.
Zhou Tingyu originally thought this was unnecessary, so how much money would it cost?
But Su He used the authority of his own shareholders and demanded that it be implemented.
"Children can carry it on their backs. It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work. Don't we remember? We can eat more varieties, but we can't waste it."
This has become a rule in Tingxiang Farm.
Since its opening, I have really punished several bosses.
Although there are some complaints, the service here in Tingxiang is like a scorpion's shit.
The other party cursed a lot, but in the end he still wanted to come back here.
In addition to people who come to enjoy the service, there are also people who come here to have breakfast.
In whose restaurant can you eat so many varieties of breakfast at one time?
This is really a beautiful day every day since I woke up early in the morning.
When Zhou Tingyu arrived, Lao Ma had already made the wontons.
The local wontons in Shanghai have a lot of meat and a delicious soup. They are a breakfast dish that you will never tire of eating.
Unlike Bishui City, Chaos over there has almost no meat and relies entirely on a bowl of juicy soup for sweetness.
But the taste is just as good. Thin-skinned wontons are called Baomian in Bishui City, and they taste very good.
Zhou Tingyu sat down, greeted the guests around him, and joked a bit: "Is breakfast to your liking?"
"It's what suits my appetite. I wanted to eat this, and I wanted to eat that, and in the end I took more. You see, I had to sit down and eat slowly. The fine is a small thing, but it's a little embarrassing. "
They don't care about this little money.
Even if you are fined, people in the same circle will make fun of you.
They may not be making fun of others for wasting food, but if they are punished, they have a reason to be made fun of.
Therefore, Su He's rule was set because of this rule.
Zhou Tingyu naturally couldn't help him avoid the fine, so he opened a hole, which would be troublesome.
If there is one, then there are two, so who will abide by it in the future?
Besides, these chefs are watching.
These people are all Su He's spies.
Normally, these chefs would not report anything, but once they encountered something that violated the company's regulations.
They won't hide it.
Because they all know this kind of thing, and if they don’t report it, their bonus will be deducted.
By the way, the wages of these people are paid by Jiuding Restaurant.
Tingxiang will issue a certain bonus.
If you report something, you will get a bonus, if you conceal it, you will be fined. Everyone knows how to choose. But it is obviously impossible not to deal with this matter.
The guests all talked about it, and it was difficult to save face.
At this point, you have several options.
The first one, which is also the one with the lowest emotional intelligence, is to directly reject the guest's request and strictly follow the rules and regulations.
In this way, both parties will look bad, and it will also make the guests think that your place is very bad, and they may not want to come here in the future.
The second one is to choose to show favoritism for once.
But as mentioned before, the side effects are that the company's rules and regulations will be in vain.
In the future, if you want to strictly enforce it, others will say, look, your previous guest can make an exception, why can't I?
Do you look down on me?
Therefore, this kind of exception must not be opened.
The third type is also the best response to emotional intelligence.
Zhou Tingyu quickly thought of a method that Su He mentioned when training the people below.
He smiled and said: "I haven't had breakfast yet, otherwise, how about you share the portion you haven't eaten with me? We'll eat together. I didn't make the company's rules and regulations alone, and I can't show favoritism. Otherwise, there is nothing we can say to our shareholders.”
See, this way, he can help eat a little.
This person can also find a friend to eat a little, so that there is less.
As long as it is not considered a waste, the matter will be over.
Since he didn't break the rules and regulations, the guest couldn't say anything. In addition, he had to be thanked.
Because of his help, he would not be laughed at.
In addition, this guest will not do this again in the future.
Zhou Tingyu said with a smile while eating: "Our breakfast is always made, and there will be no shortage. If there is a shortage of breakfast provided in the morning, you can mention it to the chef, and he will give it to you on the spot. Make one. That way, you don’t have to pick whatever you see. You can eat what you like first and pick it up later.”
Zhou Tingyu found that this was quite good.
Although the daily waste may not seem like much, when calculated over a week, a month, or a year, this can save a fortune.
Isn’t that what running a farm is like?
Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, this is one of the means of reducing expenditure.
No wonder Su He, this kid, can make money and takes increasing revenue and reducing expenditure to the core.
In this way, if you save a sum here and a sum there, won't the money come to you?
While eating the wontons, Zhou Tingyu was also thinking about a good deal.
At this time, the financial person came over, and Zhou Tingyu greeted: "You also get something and eat first. We will talk while eating."
The treasurer didn't refuse, he went to get a plate, picked up breakfast and started eating.
Zhou Tingyu ate a small wonton, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and asked: "By the way, the project that gave you a good deal yesterday, do you think it is convenient for us to do it ourselves, or?"
Finance swallowed a dumpling and said quickly: "I have already calculated it. If we make it ourselves, it must reach a certain scale. Temporarily calculated, we must use more than 600 square meters per day to be able to match Cong Jiuding The purchase price at the restaurant. You can save part of the subsequent price."
This thing is easy to think about.
Everything has a labor cost. The more you use it, the more convenient and cost-effective it is to produce it yourself.
Especially when the raw materials for making ice can be recycled.
"Of course, this does not include the cost of purchasing raw materials. In addition, we also need to consider the location of the ice making. These require additional calculation costs."
The financial officer said: "If all these are taken into account, the quantity we use every day will have to be more than doubled to maintain profitability."
Zhou Tingyu sighed: "So, that guy must have thought of this when he was calculating the price. This is an accurate calculation. Unless we insist on not making money for him, otherwise the money will really be earned for him."
In addition to the money to buy ice-making equipment, you also need to buy so many things.
Therefore, many people finally chose to buy it after calculation.
Jiuding Restaurant has expanded another project in this regard.
Although it can only be sold in the summer, and less in the spring and autumn, it is already a small profit but quick turnover project.
Especially when the actual technical difficulty of this project is not very high.
Su He's side is all experienced, but if Zhou Tingyu wants it, he can only train it again.
A customer next to me asked strangely: "What do you mean by making ice?"
After Zhou Tingyu said the matter, the guest thought for a while and then said, "Is it Jiuding Restaurant? I'm looking at it, I might want to buy some too."
This customer sells seafood, but it is troublesome to transport this stuff.
It's okay for short distances, but for medium and long distances, the seafood stinks.
Therefore, except for a few times in winter and spring and autumn, there is no way to do business inland.
But when the ice comes out, they can extend the date of doing business.
It’s not impossible to do even in summer.
He inquired carefully, and Zhou Tingyu didn't hide it: "In fact, you can buy this method directly at Jiuding Restaurant for one hundred yuan. He also allows you to send people over to learn it, and they will learn it and master it. Of course. Yes, you need to consider the cost issue yourself. Also, as you just heard, there is also the cost of ice making manpower and space, which must be taken into consideration. And on days when ice making is not needed, You also need to consider what to do with manpower and space. Idle use is also a waste."
