Hardcore Chef Dad

As Feng Yifan continues to make some adjustments to the restaurant based on customer feedback, the reputation of Ruo Restaurant continues to rise, and the discussion on the Internet remains high.

Diners who have eaten at the restaurant can't wait to post it on WeChat Moments or Weibo when they go back.

Everyone must praise Ruo Restaurant.

Whether it is the interior decoration of the restaurant or the services provided by the restaurant.

The most important thing is of course the dishes in the restaurant. From the presentation of the dishes to the taste of the dishes, all the diners are really full of praise.

“Ruo Restaurant is truly the most attentive restaurant I have ever eaten at.”

That's right, we can't say that Ruo Restaurant is the most expensive or the best restaurant, but it can really be said that it is the most thoughtful restaurant.

If you go to Ruo Restaurant, you will find that every service they provide is very attentive.

“When you enter, you will be guided to reserve a seat and sit down. Various snacks and some drinks will be prepared for you. Before ordering, you will be asked carefully about your taste and whether you have any taboos. It’s really Very attentive.”

If you go with friends and you and your friends have different tastes, you will definitely have a very intuitive feeling.

That's right, I went with my husband. My husband's taste is strong, but I like it light, and I can't eat spicy food. So after the dish was served, although it was the same dish, my husband and I tasted the same dish. There will be a difference.”

This is true. Chef Feng will make detailed adjustments to the taste of the dishes based on everyone's different tastes based on the receptionist's feedback.

Wow, is it so powerful?

Isn't that incredible?

In fact, it is so incredible. This is something that only top chefs can do. They can adjust the taste of their dishes according to the different taste preferences of diners without affecting the overall flavor of the dishes.

Then if you are a person with heavy taste and also like spicy food, it won't be so easy to adjust, right?

How could it be? I'm from Sichuan Province and I went there to eat it once. It tasted really good.

Yes, it can indeed be done.

…

These discussions on the Internet,

It can be said that it makes everyone more curious about Ruo Restaurant.

In addition, it is difficult to book a seat at Ruo Restaurant, which adds a sense of mystery to Ruo Restaurant.

Because of this sense of mystery, it also attracts many people. Even if they don't have a reservation, they will come to Ruo Restaurant specifically to see if they can have a chance to enter.

There are also some people who are not short of money and come here with money to prepare to spend a lot of money to buy seats reserved by others.

Feng Yifan never thought that he would encounter such a thing at the door of the restaurant.

Judging from the appearance of the person who wanted to buy it with a lot of money, he must be a very wealthy person indeed.

However, Feng Yifan still gave a somewhat rude warning: If someone sells the seat he has reserved, it is considered as deliberate hype by me and does not respect the rules of my restaurant. Then I will not allow you to book a seat in the future.

Hearing this, those who had already started to be excited when they saw that the other party offered a lot of money suddenly hesitated.

Soon, a more courageous diner said: Chef Feng, since I have reserved the seat, it should be my freedom to let in who I let in, right? Is it considered an infringement of your interference by forcefully doing so? My power?”

Feng Yifan looked at the other person and said: If you feel that I have violated your rights, then you can not come to my restaurant to eat. This is the rule of my restaurant. You can cancel the seat you have reserved. I will give it to you if you return it now. But if you want to transfer it, I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to it.”

At this time, someone asked again: Chef Feng, if you cancel, will you rebook the canceled seat?

Feng Yifan shook his head: Our restaurant only releases so many reservation seats every day. If someone cancels the reservation, I will refund the money in full and I will not release the seat for others to reserve. I will treat that seat as if no one has reserved it today. .”

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene.

If Feng Yifan releases the seats for others to book after someone cancels the reservation on the same day, this seems to many people to be more reasonable, and this is what many restaurants will do.

But like Feng Yifan now, he would rather lose an order than let anyone transfer it, which really shocked everyone.

The diners who had clamored before and felt that Feng Yifan's rules violated his rights were now speechless.

Naturally, no one among the diners gathered in front of the restaurant dared to say that they would give up their seats.

When Feng Yifan saw that everyone was silent and that many people gathered on the ancient street to watch, he simply stated his rules seriously.

“I hope that everyone who makes a reservation at Ruo Restaurant is a friend who really likes food. I don’t want my reservation at Ruo Restaurant to become a tool for profit-making by some well-intentioned people.

So if the rules of the restaurant are that whoever makes the reservation can only taste it. If you want to transfer it at a high price, then please forgive me if the restaurant refuses to receive you, and may not receive you again in the future. .

After hearing what Feng Yifan said, the crowd of people watching on the ancient street suddenly started talking.

Everyone feels that Feng Yifan's courage is really strong.

But after thinking about it, it seems that they do have such strong capital.

At this time, someone asked again: Chef Feng, what if I want to reserve a seat and invite others to eat with me?

Feng Yifan replied: You and your friends need to register with your real name, and you need to pay a deposit for multiple people.

Having said this, Feng Yifan continued: Everyone, if the restaurant is just an ordinary small restaurant, we just want to dedicate delicious food to those friends who like food, so please let us go.

Those who want to use our restaurant seats to make profits, please consider carefully, is it worth it?

When the onlookers heard these words, they all began to think, is it worth it to book a seat in a restaurant?

Feng Yifan looked at the person who wanted to buy a seat with a lot of money.

“Friend, if you really want to taste Ruo Restaurant’s dishes, then you can wait until after the National Day holiday and the crowds lessen, and then take the time to come and taste it. Ruo Restaurant welcomes you at any time, and you don’t need to pay even one cent more. money.

The financial backer who made a special trip felt helpless after hearing Feng Yifan's words.

He had no choice but to say to Feng Yifan: Chef Feng, it's true that we shouldn't have done this and disrupted your restaurant's business and rules. I'm really sorry.

As he spoke, the other party took the initiative to extend his hand to Feng Yifan.

Feng Yifan also reached out and shook hands with the other party.

Thank you for your understanding. We are actually a very ordinary small restaurant. Even speaking, the restaurant cannot be regarded as a very authentic Western restaurant, so we really cannot deserve such love from everyone. You really don't have to pay for a meal. It’s a lot of trouble.”

It seemed to the onlookers that Feng Yifan's words were also addressed to them.

Many people thought about it carefully after listening to it, and it seemed that it was indeed what Feng Yifan said.

If the restaurant does not close at any time, you can book a table when there are fewer people, so you may feel better when you come to taste it.

What's more, as Feng Yifan said, buying a scalper order at a high price just for a meal is really a bit exaggerated.

The sponsor who made a special trip asked again: Chef Feng, if I want to book your restaurant and come here for a special meal, is it okay?

Feng Yifan smiled and said: Okay, if you book it, you will have to book all the 22 tables in my restaurant. And our rule is that we are not allowed to book the restaurant on any holidays.

The crowd of onlookers first heard that Feng Yifan agreed to book the venue.

Everyone will more or less feel that Chef Feng has to bow to money in the end after talking so much.

But after hearing him say later that booking the venue was not allowed on any holidays, everyone thought about it carefully and suddenly understood Feng Yifan’s intentions.

The reason why the venue is not allowed to be booked on holidays is that many people may have free time and can book a seat and invite friends to come and taste it.

If booking is allowed on holidays, ordinary guests who have time to come during holidays will not be able to come.

From this point of view, everyone can understand Feng Yifan's approach.

The rich man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he laughed: Hahaha, Chef Feng is really very principled. In this case, I have to abide by your rules. I will say goodbye today. After the National Day, I will definitely make a special trip to taste it again.”

Feng Yifan responded with a smile: Welcome.

After everyone left, Feng Yifan also greeted the diners who had reserved seats to come in.

Under the envious eyes of the onlookers, diners also entered Ruo Restaurant one after another.

After all the diners came in, Su Liancheng approached Feng Yifan and said, Brother-in-law, I actually think that since so many rich people like it, it would be better if the restaurant could be turned into a high-end restaurant, raise the price, and cater to those rich people.

Feng Yifan turned to look at Su Liancheng and said, What? Are you afraid that I can't afford your salary?

Su Liancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, No, I didn't mean that.

Feng Yifan continued: Don't worry, if you feel that you are not satisfied with the salary here, you can leave at any time and I will not stop you.

Su Liancheng could only say: Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean that. I just think that if things are like this, the restaurant's profits will definitely not be very good. If we only serve those rich people, we can make more.

Feng Yifan sighed and asked, You think we are short of money, right?

Su Liancheng was stunned.

Feng Yifan said: I can tell you that we are not short of money. Even though we only receive 22 tables of guests every night, after excluding costs, we are still profitable, so I don't think we need to rely on high prices. price to make more money.”

In fact, this is the reason why the restaurant has gained a good reputation during this period.

It's also because the prices in the restaurant are not very high.

Maybe for some people, if the price of each meal in the restaurant is indeed not low, but compared with the same type of Western restaurants, the price is still much lower.

One of the reasons is that Feng Yifan uses domestic ingredients to reduce part of the cost.

Of course, more importantly, Feng Yifan never thought about making a lot of money from diners at once.

He knows very well that the restaurant has a lot of reservations now. That is because the topic and popularity of the restaurant are still there, so many people will come to the restaurant to try it out of curiosity.

But if a restaurant wants to survive for a long time, it cannot rely solely on curiosity.

Moreover, relying solely on topical hype to maintain the restaurant's popularity and guest attendance seemed to Feng Yifan to be an insult to his cooking skills.

He wants to gain word-of-mouth so that after eating there once, diners will want to come back a second time.

And he also hopes to turn his restaurant into a restaurant that allows diners from all over the world to plan a special trip for it, a restaurant that must be tasted many times in a lifetime.

Feng Yifan believes that being able to do this is a truly good restaurant and the best recognition of his cooking skills.

Seeing the anxiety on Su Liancheng's face, it was obvious that he was worried that what he just said would anger him.

Feng Yifan said helplessly: Brother, do you think that for a restaurant to continue its business for a long time, is word of mouth more important? Or is the gimmick more important?

Su Liancheng hesitated and said, Then word of mouth should be more important.

Feng Yifan nodded: Yes, why can't many large and small restaurants in China continue to operate for a long time? It is precisely because people do not cherish their feathers and do not care about reputation, so many time-honored brands have disappeared or even closed down.

Feng Yifan said this and pointed to the old plaque of Su Ji next door.

Don't forget that old plaque. Grandpa and the ancestors of the Su family are watching us.

Su Liancheng said ashamedly: It's my fault. I shouldn't just think about making money and ignore some of the responsibilities we have to shoulder.

Feng Yifan said: It doesn't matter, uncle, the people you recruit in the future will also need to understand this. What we want are those who really want to dedicate their food to the guests with their heart, not those who lack the love for cooking. people.

Su Liancheng nodded seriously: Okay chef, I understand.

At the same time, as soon as Su Liancheng finished speaking, a burst of applause suddenly broke out on the street.

It turned out that the conversation between Feng Yifan and Su Liancheng was heard by many people on the street. At this time, everyone spontaneously applauded Feng Yifan.

“Chef Feng is great, we support you.”

Chef Feng is right, it can't be just to make money.

No, good reputation is the key to a restaurant's long-term operation.

We believe that Chef Feng will definitely make the restaurant a world-renowned restaurant.

Wow, then won't it be more difficult to reserve a seat then?

I don’t know who said the last words, but they instantly caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Amid everyone's laughter, Feng Yifan and Su Liancheng said goodbye to their supporters on the street outside, then turned and entered the restaurant to start their busy day.
