Chapter 158 The Trouble of the Fast Food Group

On November 11, Wu Hao met a guest in the meeting room. The guest was Qin Haidong, the owner of a Chinese fast food chain named Donghai Cuisine.

"Mr. Qin, hello! Welcome to Haotian Technology. Are you satisfied with the few small projects that we have been entrusted to you?"

Qin Haidong came to visit suddenly today, and Wu Hao didn't know his intentions, so he found topics from the cooperation of old projects, slowly cut to the point, and figured out the other party's thoughts.

The Donghai gourmet chain fast food group once entrusted Haotian Technology to help them improve their cooking robots and realize intelligence. The whole project has been completed in 3 phases, involving 5 types of equipment.

"Satisfied, satisfied, the equipment transformed by your Haotian technology has a high degree of automation, which has saved us a lot of manpower." Qin Haidong praised with a smile.

"Hehe, as long as you're satisfied, Mr. Qin is here today. Is there any equipment that needs our help to renovate?" Wu Hao began to get to the point.

"This time we came here not to modify the equipment, but because we encountered some difficulties, and we want Mr. Wu to help us find a solution." Tan Haidong explained the purpose of his visit, with a helpless expression on his face.

"If you encounter any difficulties, just tell Mr. Tan, and he will try his best to help you solve them." Wu Hao likes to listen to the difficulties of customers most, so that there are business opportunities to solve them.

"The thing is, Donghai Food is a regional chain fast food group. Our business is mainly concentrated in the economically developed areas in the south. There are more than 2000 stores, including more than 100 in Pengcheng. As the number of customers increases, several problems arise. .”

"First of all, some shops in prime locations in the city center have a good business, but the kitchen space is not large enough to balance dine-in and take-out meals, and many orders have been lost."

"Secondly, in the developed cities in the south, there are people from all over the country, and their tastes vary greatly. Take a spicy tofu as an example. It’s so spicy, it’s really hard to say. Now takeaway orders are placed through the platform. The operators in the back kitchen often make mistakes in the needs of customers because they have to take care of other tasks. Chargeback, the loss in this regard is not small.”

"There is another one. The electrical equipment in the kitchen is easily damaged. Not to mention gadgets like wall breakers, induction cookers, microwave ovens, and meat grinders. The maintenance master drives around every day. The cost is high, and the fundamental problem has not been solved, so I have been busy everywhere."

"Finally, the weather in the south is mainly humid and hot. Although there are fans in the back kitchen, the staff in the kitchen are also sweating profusely. They want to install air conditioners, but the inside is smoky. How can it be installed? Staff There are a lot of complaints, coupled with the high-intensity workload, it is not easy to recruit people now."

"I hope Mr. Wu can help us think of a way to help our group develop a system like the Great Arch to integrate all the equipment together to improve efficiency, save manpower and space, and reduce unnecessary expenses."

Qin Haidong explained the purpose of his visit. The Archway uses the western restaurant intelligent store management system developed by Wu Hao, which has achieved very good results. It has outstanding performance in the control of labor costs and material loss, and the work efficiency of the back kitchen is much higher than that of peers.

"Mr. Qin, I want to ask, do you use cooking robots for all your dishes?" Wu Hao wanted to evaluate the degree of automation in the production process of Haidong Cuisine.

"To be honest, I don't use them much. Those machines are mainly for the canteen of the company. The effect of making large pot dishes is very good, but it is not suitable for making small portions of fast food." Qin Haidong replied truthfully.

"Mr. Qin, how many cooking machines have you developed, just for the canteen of your company?" Wu Hao was very surprised.

"Mr. Wu, you misunderstood. In addition to making fast food, we also go to the canteen of the contractor. Many universities and government agencies have our service points." Qin Haidong has done a good job in open source.

"Oh, Boss Qin's food business is doing very well!" Wu Hao boasted, dispelling his embarrassment.

"Hehe, Mr. Wu has won the award, and now he mainly wants to solve the problem of the fast food chain. Is there a way to solve it?" Tan Haidong was eager for an answer.

"Mr. Qin, please answer my question first, why cooking robots are not suitable for making small portions of fast food?" Wu Hao wanted to understand the key points of the problem first.

"Well, a small portion of fast food is usually freshly cut, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It only costs two or three dollars to cut the tomatoes, and it is easy to beat the eggs. After finishing, the chef puts them in the pot and they can be out of the pot in 2 minutes. There is no advantage to using a cooking robot. Although it can stir fry automatically, manpower is required for cutting, serving, and packaging, which will not save much money in cost. Moreover, the machine will break down. In order to ensure that the failure does not stop, a set is needed. As for the spare machine, we have calculated that the cost is not low."

Qin Haidong pointed out the limitations of automatic cooking robots.

Wu Hao thought for a moment, and then expressed his opinion: "Mr. Qin, what you need is a set of intelligent scene solutions for Chinese food. question."

"For takeaway customers, after they use their mobile phones to place an order, the system will select the nearest meal according to the busyness of the store, automatically prepare and pack the meal according to the completed meal, and then notify the takeaway brother to pick up the meal."

"For dine-in users, after the customer places an order, the system will process the order first, complete the preparation of the dishes, and then the staff will be responsible for serving the food on the plate, so as to ensure that the customers in the restaurant can eat as soon as possible and maintain a relatively high turnover rate."

If there are no vacant seats in the restaurant, customers will be persuaded to leave, ensuring a high turnover rate of dine-in customers, which is conducive to the store's revenue.

"Mr. Wu, can the equipment you mentioned be developed?" Qin Haidong was very excited after hearing Wu Hao's introduction.

Wu Hao thought about it for a while, and replied: "Well, you have to give me some time, I'm a little busy recently."

"What are you going to do when you are free?" Qin Haidong wanted to know the detailed plan.

"Help you order a set of intelligent equipment, suitable for the Chinese fast food industry." Wu Hao explained.

"In terms of funds for developing equipment, what are Mr. Wu's considerations?" Qin Haidong wanted to ask for details.

"Haotian Technology is responsible for the research and development, and the funds are of course funded by us. As the user, if you are satisfied, you can purchase the equipment directly, so that there will be no problem of the proportion of project funds." Wu Hao understands Qin Haidong's thoughts and develops this kind of equipment. The risk of the project is extremely high. If the project fails midway, losses will be incurred, so it is normal for the other party to maintain a cautious attitude.

"If you do this, the risk is entirely on Mr. Wu. I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Qin Haidong tested Wu Hao's reality.

"Mr. Tan, don't worry, I've wanted to do this project for a long time, and I've already considered the risks. However, when the work starts, I have to ask Mr. Qin to cooperate more!" Wu Hao reassured the other party.

"Mr. Wu is generous in his work. If you need any cooperation at that time, just ask me, and we must find a way to meet your requirements!" Qin Haidong also expressed his attitude.

"Thank you Mr. Qin, we have a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"
