When Zhang Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Fu Yu, let me tell you, the prices of these banquets are actually about the same.
The store offers a variety of options, and in the end it is the customer who decides what kind of banquet they want to have. "
Fu Yu nodded: "I heard from the chef before that once a customer came in and wanted to book a banquet for a wedding.
While the waiter was leading the way to the VIP room, the customer suddenly asked about the price of the table.
Since this man looked quite wealthy, the waiter tentatively introduced the mid-range price tables in the store.
The customer asked if there was anything more high-end. If not, he would not customize it here. "
Fu Yu also smiled: "I was shocked when I heard it. You know? Customers don't think the price is expensive at all. It's too cheap and it doesn't seem to be able to meet their psychological needs!"
This is the true meaning that Fu Yu realized when he first went to the music restaurant!
Being able to learn cooking at a music restaurant through Yao Shi's arrangement was a very precious time for Fu Yu.
Because at that time, Fu Yu learned a lot of things that Qianli Ma had no access to.
Li Linfeng looked confused: "The more expensive, the better? Do you have the money to burn it?"
Zhang Xiao took over what Fu Yu said: "Linfeng, you don't understand this, let me tell you!
For a wealthy customer like this, if she wants a cheaper price, she will express her opinion directly when she hears the introduction.
Since she asked about high-end seats, it means that he has such needs!
Maybe everything looks good when placed on the dining table, but she has psychological needs and thinks that the banquet is very important. A banquet that is not expensive or luxurious enough is too perfunctory for someone like her!
Fu Yu said that the person is very rich, and the person may be worth a lot of money. The mid-range price of the meal will make the person feel that the restaurant is not high-end and the chef is not good enough. "
Li Linfeng's family does not run the catering industry. He stayed in school to teach directly after graduation and had no experience in this area.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "But, this table can easily have tens of thousands of seats, how do you arrange the ingredients?"
Zhang Xiao smiled: "There are many tricks here. You can cook some high-end seafood such as abalone and lobster. You can also turn ordinary ingredients into luxurious plate shapes, and the tableware is more magnificent!"
The waiters in the front room are of higher quality. When serving dishes, they place carefully designed recipes directly in the middle of the table for customers to appreciate.
As long as you can do these things well, you can make it look like the price of a table is tens of thousands. "
Zhang Xiao's words are a completely new field for Li Linfeng. Since he has never been exposed to them before, he does not understand the business models of these hotels.
Li Linfeng asked with great interest: "According to you, running a hotel with custom-made banquets like this seems to be similar to the sales industry?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and smiled: "Don't tell me, they are really similar! It's just that a hotel like Kelaya earns more than an ordinary big hotel!"
Even Fu Yu agrees with this point.
This is a fact recognized by everyone in the circle!
A restaurant that contracts large-scale banquets like this can indeed make more money than a restaurant that operates normally!
Otherwise, with Yao Shi's vision and ability, he would not have taken the risk to run the restaurant before leaving his job.
"No wonder. I also said that your boy was doing well in business in Yunnan, and suddenly he wanted to come back to live. It turns out that it had been arranged long ago!"
Li Linfeng spoke straightforwardly, and Zhang Xiao didn't mind either.
We are all brothers who came from the same dormitory and know each other very well.
Zhang Xiao nodded: "Well, someone in my family knows the boss of Kelaiya and said hello in advance. It was just a formality."
After speaking, he said frankly: "Actually, banquet restaurants like this don't have particularly high requirements for the cooking level of the kitchen staff.
To be honest, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to hold the position of chef with my cooking skills!
The cost of a restaurant like this that caters large banquets is actually more expensive in terms of service and environment.
As for the taste of the dishes, no matter how delicious the dishes are, they are completely cold by the time they are served. How can you taste the freshness?
It's just about the presentation of the dishes, the quality of the drinks, and the reputation of the restaurant itself. "
When Fu Yu heard Zhang Xiao's words, he nodded immediately: "Yes, in fact, restaurants like Music Restaurant and Kelaya, which specialize in hosting large banquets, uphold high-quality service and make customers happy and leave satisfied. money!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiao chuckled and said, "No, me. My cooking skills are not as good as Fu Yu's, and my cooking knowledge is not as good as Lin Feng's. I just make a living by relying on the interpersonal experience I gained from wandering around alone in the past two years! "
Taking orders like this at a flowing table requires a chef mainly in terms of physical strength. He must be able to cook continuously, and he must also have a very good mentality and the ability to interact with others. After all, a chef in a restaurant like this needs a lot of personnel. Far more than a big hotel like Chollima!
There are at least five or six people in charge of the chef alone, and there are even more cooks, and there are even more than ten or twenty people in the kitchen and food preparation staff.
If you cannot manage and control these people at the same time, your daily work as a chef will be impossible to carry out.
Zhang Xiao drank some wine and started talking.
Although he has not yet gone to work at Klaiya, he is already familiar with his future working life.
Those who have done business themselves are completely different from those who have been working, in terms of their thinking and analysis and judgment of things.
Zhang Xiao's words immediately made Fu Yu look at him with admiration.
In the two years since graduation, it can be seen that Zhang Xiao has changed, becoming mature and stable.
Fu Yu couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and toast Zhang Xiao with a glass of wine.
Zhang Xiao was bored for a moment, and the conversation was completely over his head.
He pulled Fu Yu and said very sincerely: "I have heard that the medicinal diet you are making now is very beneficial! In fact, I also learned about this aspect later. After all, this industry is not new to this circle. The industry can only be considered popular at best, and its current promotion scope is not large.
I really didn't expect you to do such an outstanding job in this field!
Fu Yu, you are doing a great job. In fact, emerging businesses often have a short spring period, while classic industries like these will only become popular after they become popular!
I think your medicinal diet industry is very similar to a large banquet, especially in terms of marketing! "
Fu Yu nodded. He and Zhang Xiao had something in common in this regard.
Zhang Xiao talked eloquently: “Whether it is a large banquet or a medicinal diet, you have to do marketing!
To put it bluntly, it's just to watch what others order!
Of course, we can't be too evil. After all, the purpose is pure, which is to make money.
This business is all about slow and steady flow!
You can't just cut off the customer's pockets and let them come in wearing mink and go back shirtless! "
Fu Yu laughed as soon as he heard this. These words were the same as what Yao Shi said when he was having supper.
He answered: "Understand, you have to make as much money as possible within a reasonable range! It's legal, but it's unreasonable."
Zhang Xiao patted his thigh and said happily: "Yes, after all, our Fu Yu is the educated one. Look at what he said, that's the truth!"
Li Linfeng listened to Fu Yu and Zhang Xiao discussing the business of making money, and he half understood it, but he didn't feel moved, and he had no obvious sense of identification.
These have nothing to do with his work and life. After all, everyone has his or her own path.
At the end of the day, who doesn't have a bottom line in their heart?
A few people were eating, drinking, and chatting about work for a while, and the topic quickly turned to each other's emotional issues.
Talk about classmates and friends who are familiar with each other, who is in love with whom, who is married to whom, and talk about their respective relationships and future lives.
The meal lasted until the restaurant closed, and then several people left drunkenly, surrounded by each other.
Before parting, we agreed to keep in touch and see each other frequently, and then we went home with unfinished business.
Fu Yu took a taxi back to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he received a safety message from the group.
Li Linfeng lives nearest and was the first to send a message.
Others also reported their own situations one after another.
The Chollima Hotel was far away, so Fu Yu was the last one to report that he was safe.
It is a simple and casual thing, but everyone has an unspeakable tenderness in their hearts.
The friendships and relationships we had while studying are always very precious and worth cherishing!
On Monday, the first spring rain fell.
The weather is bad, and the number of customers dining in the store has been significantly reduced by half.
It was rare for the kitchen to slow down the pace of work. Fu Yu took a break from the busy schedule and turned to talk to Sun Qingning about what to cook for the staff lunch at noon.
Just as he was talking, a waiter came over anxiously and reported: "Fu Chef! The order for table 10 in the lobby was temporarily canceled and the customer is not going to dine!"
Fu Yu was stunned for a moment. He first shouted to Zhang Jinyu to stop preparing food, and then turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
The waiter came at a trot. He was a little breathless when talking, and his breathing was obviously rapid.
“The customer is an old man. He ordered the meal and was seated before he remembered that he didn't bring any medicine. He has diabetes and must get an injection before eating.”
After hearing this, Fu Yu suddenly realized that this was the case.
He didn't know much about this disease before.
However, when I was with Li Zongming before, I heard him mention casually that there was a patient who had been treated by him for many years and had diabetes. His indicators were quite stable at first, but the patient secretly drank alcohol on his own.
Every time before drinking, I take an injection of insulin. The first few times were fine.
With a sense of luck, I didn't mention it during the examination. As a result, half a month later, my body suddenly collapsed. I was sent to the hospital and went directly to the emergency room. My condition worsened and I developed uremia.
Speaking of this matter, Li Zongming couldn't help but talk a few more words.
Fu Yu also has a little understanding of this disease.
He nodded: "Okay, let's cancel the order. The food has just been prepared here, so there is no loss."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid of this happening.
If the kitchen has finished preparing the dishes and the customer cancels the order, the processed vegetables will be fine, but the seafood will not be fresh if it is delayed.
Zhang Jinyu got the news and quickly told the workers to stop preparing the dishes, while he put back the seafood he had picked up.
After the waiter left, Zhang Jinyu asked what happened.
After hearing what Fu Yu said, Zhang Jinyu said helplessly: "Fortunately, I canceled the order early. If I had canceled the order later, the fish would have been shot to death."
Fu Yu smiled: "It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes."
No one paid much attention to this single matter.
As a result, in the afternoon, the front desk suddenly informed that a customer had made a reservation for door-to-door dinner service, and the customer specifically requested that the chef he hired was the one whose order was canceled at noon, and he also wanted to apologize!
A total of one order was returned today, and Fu Yu remembered it as soon as he heard it.
It should be the old man who came over for lunch but forgot to bring his medicine and failed to take it.
“The old man is very particular. I canceled the order at noon, and I want to compensate the chef!”
Zhao Meng heard about this and said with a smile: "Okay, Fu Yu, you can take this order. It just so happens that the store is not busy today, so the kitchen can be busy."
The customer asked Fu Yu to take the order in the form of a note, and Gu Yunwu had no objection.
Fu Yu glanced at the order list that was almost intact from lunch, and re-listed the menu and handed it to Zhang Jinyu.
The two of them contacted the buyer Sun Wei, and after packing up their things and changing clothes, they hurried to the customer's home.
The customer lives in an old house in the East District. The whole building has only four floors, with one staircase and two households.
The building looks very old from the outside and the corridor is very narrow. But when I knocked on the door of the customer's house and entered the house, I found that the layout inside the house is quite spacious and the layout is very good.
The living room is spacious, with a large open balcony, and the interior decoration is also very particular. There are no sofas and carpets, but only wooden tables and chairs, which look antique and tasteful.
Just looking at the living environment, the living standard of the old couple should be very good.
The old man was obviously a little surprised when he saw Fu Yu coming to the door.
I didn't expect the chef of the Maxima Hotel to be so young, but apart from being surprised at the beginning, he introduced them to them very kindly.
The old man's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Zhenyang. He lives with his wife. The children are usually busy with work and rarely visit home.
Today, I suddenly wanted to eat Chollima's specialties. I went all the way to the store, but because I am old and have a bad memory, I forgot to bring my insulin.
His illness was so severe that he couldn't bear it without taking injections before eating, so he had no choice but to return without success.
As people get older, they tend to be a little willful. They miss what they want to eat and keep thinking about it. Anyway, their family is relatively wealthy, so they simply ask a chef to come and cook a table of noodles to satisfy their craving.
And the most important thing is that I placed an order at noon, but it took me a while to remember that I forgot to bring the medicine. The waiter understood the situation and enthusiastically helped to cancel the order.
The service attitude was so good that I was embarrassed and ordered door-to-door service at night, which made up for the chargeback at noon.
Fu Yu listened to the old man's explanation and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, an electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his ears:
【Ding! NPC star An Qi's series of tasks: cook a table of dishes that satisfy director Zhao Qinghua and help An Qi get a role contract. The current task progress is 70%.
Trigger the next task: the ultimate task, cook a table of meals for customer Zhao Zhenyang, and touch the heart of Director Zhao Qinghua. Mission completion reward: random] (End of this chapter)
