Food starts with noodles

After the information is summarized and finally discussed, the dishes will be completely determined from the taste to the appearance.

As for the price, it is not within the consideration of the tasters.

After all, people all over the world know that when the product is outstanding, the price is naturally not a problem.

On the first day of tasting, it was the representatives of fans invited by Xu Zhuo on Weibo. The choices of these people were mainly from the capital area, but there were also some from other places.

This is not to curry favor with the locals in the capital, but mainly because it is not easy for fans from other places to come here.

Although many people are willing to be delayed, Xu Zhuo doesn't want to bother others so much.

At least before the opening, it's better to keep the Sifang Restaurant a mystery. After the opening, you can find time to hold a fan festival or something.

It's much better than picking thorns and answering questions after eating like this.

And this kind of tasting is actually unpleasant.

Although there are a lot of dishes, there are a group of waiters beside them, but these dishes are not for casual eating, and the waiters are not very good at serving people. On the contrary, these waiters are just like the examiners, whenever they see someone finished eating a dish, they will come over and make insinuations Let people talk about feelings.

When the other party said it, the waiter would write it down seriously.

These steps seem unnecessary, but there are too many people participating this time. Only in this way can the advantages and disadvantages of the dishes be truly recorded.

If we talk about this after everyone has finished eating and drinking, the impression of the dishes will be very vague, not as clear and direct as it is now.

When the fans were trying the food, Xu Zhuo kept walking among the crowd, saying hello and taking pictures together.

These fans are all die-hard fans, and Xu Zhuo knows him more or less. Right now, he is busy wearing flowers and butterflies among the crowd, just to let everyone relax.

Only in this way, everyone's prediction of the dishes will become more accurate.

There are almost hundreds of fans who have tasted this time, and almost everyone is accompanied by waiters or kitchen assistants, in order to record everyone's accurate evaluation of each dish.

It is precisely because it needs to be eaten one by one, so the whole trial lasts for almost a day before it is over.

After the meal was over, the food was set up in the hall on the first floor. Xu Zhuo invited everyone to sit down and thanked everyone for their efforts today.

Although this kind of thing seems very simple and enjoyable, it is not easy to operate in practice.

You can't eat more when you are hungry, because the waiter next to you will keep asking how you feel.

After I was full, I was just about to take a break, and new dishes were brought in. Some dishes that need to be eaten while they are hot even have to be rushed, which is quite difficult anyway.

These people complained in groups or on Weibo while having dinner.

However, most of these complaints will be ridiculed and deliberate, because this kind of thing, literally, is simply enjoyment.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Xu Zhuo took a group photo with everyone in the front hall.

When these fans came, they were wearing T-shirts that were uniformly customized in the store, so when everyone stood together for a group photo, it was quite a scene of fans cheering for idols.

When these fans said goodbye and left, Xu Zhuo also gave a big gift bag to each of them.

This gift package includes commemorative decorations for the opening of Sifang Restaurant, limited refrigerator magnets, platinum membership card of Sifang Restaurant, exquisitely packaged desserts and braised meat made by the back kitchen, and vouchers for Xiaochu Xu’s flagship store, etc. wait.

The gifts are very rich, and all fans are very touched.

Today, everyone ate and drank Xu Zhuo's food, and there were so many presents before leaving.

This idol is really rare.

Other idols encourage fans to pay for money, but Xu Zhuo does the opposite. This kind of idol really makes people like it more and more.

After seeing off these fans, Xu Zhuo waved his hand, and the waiters in the store immediately got busy.

Everyone started to summarize the opinions and suggestions on the dishes recorded today. Each dish has hundreds of opinions, and then these opinions are summarized together for the chefs to discuss.

However, after the discussion, the chefs will not immediately adjust the dishes, because the tasting will continue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

It is necessary to summarize all the opinions of the three groups before making adjustments.

Although most of these opinions are not nutritious, or have little merit, they must be taken seriously even so.

After all, this is Sifang Restaurant. After all, before the decoration here, the opponent has already started to study it with a magnifying glass.

So, try to be as cautious as possible.

Only in this way can we avoid mistakes in future operations and better cater to customer groups.

Chapter 1519 Countdown to Opening

If we say that the first day's food tasting is a fan group with young people as the absolute main force, then it is completely opposite, because the main force of the second day's food tasting is the old people in the community behind and the friends invited by those old people.

The sense of taste of the elderly will degenerate unconsciously, and the stomach will also become delicate, so this time, Xu Zhuo did not arrange those dishes that are too greasy, but mainly soups and dim sum.

This will not only give the elderly a sense of participation, but also prevent them from eating badly.

The ingredients of Sifang Restaurant are very qualified, otherwise Xu Zhuo wouldn't even let them taste the soup for these elderly people.

Compared with the young people yesterday, the old people who came to try it today are obviously very knowledgeable. Everyone is like a gourmet. They use a spoon to put a little soup into their mouths. After a little taste, they start to talk about the soup opinions and views.

Most of these old people have good cooking skills, so after they entered the role, they felt that it was not enough to just talk about the taste, so they simply asked Xu Zhuo to call the chefs from the back kitchen to discuss the possibility of improving the soup with the chefs sex.

This is a collision of culinary ideas.

The elderly who have been cooking at home for decades discuss the dishes with regular professional chefs, which makes everyone feel a little more smokey when cooking.

Pyrotechnic gas is a very mysterious thing in cooking, similar to the repeatedly emphasized pot gas in Cantonese cuisine.

There is no definition of pyrotechnics, but it can be really felt.

Restaurant dishes, because they pay too much attention to efficiency and formal beauty, will unconsciously lose the smoke and fire of the dishes, but the current discussion has given the chefs a new understanding.

"I originally thought that you invited these old people here just to establish a good relationship with them, but I didn't expect to have such a harvest. After discussing these chefs, they should have a deeper understanding of the dishes."

He Guoan leaned aside, looking at the bustling scene not far away, feeling a little surprised.

Originally, he was quite disapproving of Xu Zhuo's invitation to these old people, because their stomachs are so weak, if their stomachs are ruined due to greedy mouth or some accident happens, it's nothing to do.

With the reputation of Sifang Restaurant, it is very easy to find some people to try it.

Just shout out on the Internet, and countless people will rush over to participate in this kind of activity.

But Xu Zhuo insisted on letting these old people come over.

Because Xu Zhuo believes that only those who have lived in the capital for most of their lives can truly understand the eating habits and tastes of the capital.

Compared with them, young people are still a little bit less interesting.

Facts have proved that Xu Zhuo's guess is correct. These elderly people do have their own unique understanding and insight into cooking, and some eating habits in the old capital still remain.

This kind of knowledge is not possessed by the chefs of Sifang Restaurant, so everyone chatted very happily.

They chatted until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and these old people got a little sleepy, so they left one after another.

Their opinions also need to be summarized, and after the last day of tasting, they will be summarized together. If many people have the same opinions and suggestions, it means that changes are indeed needed.

If only one or two people have an opinion on some aspect, there is no need to discuss it.

After all, opening a restaurant should cater to the tastes of the masses, not the preferences of one or two people.

But after the opening, if a customer makes such a request, you have to write it down, and when the customer comes to consume again, make some small adjustments according to the other party's wishes.

Let the other party eat as much as possible, and eat comfortably.

The most important thing is to let the other party feel the feeling of being respected, and only in this way can customers be satisfied and gradually become repeat customers in the store.

This is the reason why waiters in high-end restaurants have high wages. They are not only responsible for serving dishes, but also visit customers regularly, and even introduce new products in the store to customers without disturbing customers.

In addition, they will remember the tastes and hobbies of all the customers they have served. These small details not only determine the business of the restaurant, but also affect their own income.

In addition to keeping in mind the interests and hobbies of customers, these waiters also need to learn skills such as etiquette and makeup on a regular basis to give themselves as much points as possible.

On the last day of tasting, people were a little more complicated.

There are old man Yu Peiyong who was born as a state banquet chef, chefs from various restaurants of the Shandong Cuisine Chef Alliance, and some restaurant owners in the capital.

Almost all are professionals.

Originally, Xu Zhuo wanted Cui Yong and the others to come to the capital, but after thinking about it, it was too troublesome, so he gave up this idea.

The tasting on the last day was much more interesting. After all, all the participants are practitioners in the cooking industry. Everyone has a deeper understanding of the dishes than ordinary people, and they have a strong ability to control the profit and cost of the dishes.

For example, for some ingredients, they can not only accurately state the price, but also give cheaper alternatives.

In fact, catering is to extract profits from costs. This is a business that requires careful planning to make money. Therefore, the owner or helm of every restaurant is a master who is good at careful calculations in private.

Otherwise, the restaurant will not be able to continue.

Xu Zhuo has seen many unrestrained and unrestrained people open restaurants, but they closed down after they opened.

This is not to say that their business is not good, mainly that they are not good at or disdain to calculate, so in the end, it seems that the business is booming, but they are always losing money.

To put it bluntly, this kind of business earns petty profits, and only those who are careful and careful can survive in this kind of business.

The kind of extravagant people are more suitable for the kind of business that does not open for three years and opens for three years.

After the three-day tasting, the trial opening was supposed to be on the second day, but because of the huge gains from the tasting, almost all dishes needed to be improved, so the trial opening was postponed to the day after tomorrow.

In the past two days, the main thing is to get the dishes in order, and reorganize the recipes by the way.

What should be deleted should be deleted, and what should be added should be added. In addition, in terms of cold dishes, several double-combined dishes have been added to meet the needs of all customers as much as possible.

While the back kitchen was busy improving the dishes, the waiters at the front desk were not idle either.

Several etiquette teachers and make-up teachers were invited to the store to start teaching the waiters.

Teach makeup in the morning and etiquette in the afternoon. Try to bring up the temperament of the waiter as much as possible, not to be amazing, but at least to make people feel comfortable.

For rich people, eating is just for enjoyment.

Two days after everything went on in an orderly manner, the trial operation began, and at the same time, the official opening of Sifang Restaurant also entered the countdown.

------

The diarrhea is worse than expected, sorry everyone.

Chapter 1520 Don't be idle, pour me a glass of water!

Preparations for the opening of Sifang Restaurant have been completed, and all invitations have been sent out.

Originally, there was no need for so many days in advance, but because this is the capital, everyone is busy, and the schedule is quite full, so the invitations had to be sent out in advance.

In addition to some acquaintances and friends in the capital who need to be invited, there are also people from other places.

For example, Yuan Desheng, Dai Zhenting, Zheng Guangyao, Tian Chengrun, Guo Shuying and other state banquet chefs who have become honorary consultants of Sifang Restaurant, as well as other business friends and acquaintances.

The opening ceremony needs to be lively, so Xu Zhuo invited as many people as possible.

Guo Xingwang sat on the chair at the front desk and carefully helped Xu Zhuo count the sending of invitations.

"At first, I thought it would be enough to send out dozens of invitations, but I didn't expect to send out more than 300 invitations. This is just the opening ceremony. If you get married later, you can't double it?"

Although the invitation sent was written in the name of Xu Zhuo, it was Guo Xingwang who actually handled the matter.

Xu Zhuo provided part of the list of invitations, the old man provided part, and Yu Jiang, Xu Wenhai and others also invited their own acquaintances.

So they made up their minds, and actually gathered more than 300 people.

There are still some people who don't need to send invitations, such as Cui Yongda, Jiang Fat Brother, Hu Dabao, Jiang Dabiao and the others. They have already arrived in the capital. The Forbidden City went.

In fact, they can just come on the opening day, there is no need to come in advance.

But Cui Yong felt that middle-aged people had to be lazy and relax, so they came here several days in advance, intending to relax in the capital.

Xu Zhuo sat next to Guo Xingwang with a teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "The marriage will probably be at the end of the year. I don't know the details. Now I'm busy with the opening of the business. There can't be any mistakes, otherwise the hot search will be waiting for us." up."

Guo Xingwang naturally knows this. He has strong communication skills and basically knows all the guests who come, so he is now in charge of the reception.

In order to make these guests feel comfortable in the capital, this time the store specially booked a four-star hotel not far away, and all guests who came to participate in the opening ceremony of Sifang Restaurant can stay for free.

Xu Zhuo took a sip of tea from his teacup, and asked Guo Xingwang who was busy, "Can you handle the reception by yourself? Do you want someone from the company to help you?"

Guo Xingwang waved his hand: "Forget it, you only thought of sending me troops when things were almost done, you are getting more and more like a big boss oppressing and beating workers.

If there is company business over there, don't let them run back and forth.
