The Pentium Era - South to North

After the Spring Festival, the M-Zone Sports and Leisure Products Wholesale Market opened its doors one after another, and Zhang Chen’s office also moved to the top floor of the M-Zone building.

By March, the preparatory work for the Banmutian Hotel on the sixth floor had been completed, the areas that needed to be decorated had been completed, and the training for new employees had been completed.

Their Banmutian Hotel on Yan'an Road had closed its doors ten days before this, mainly because of the pressure from subsequent customers who rented their Yan'an Road store.

Originally, according to the plan, Zhang Chen promised them that the house would be handed over to them for decoration before the Spring Festival. However, due to the delay in the opening of this place, the handover was also late. By the end of February, the other party could not wait any longer and kept reminding them several times a day. , Zhang Chen discussed with Huijuan and then closed the door.

There is also an advantage to closing the hotel early, that is, many of the equipment and facilities in the hotel there can still be used here. Moving and installing the equipment also takes time.

It ended early, so Huijuan simply mixed the old and new employees together and conducted another training. The main purpose was to make them familiar with each other and increase their tacit understanding of cooperation, especially since the chef came in all of a sudden. The second newcomer, the former executive chef, complained that he had a headache. There were more than a hundred people in the kitchen alone. It was not easy to arrange the daily work of so many people.

The work of the kitchen is closely linked to each other. At the peak of the meal, if any link fails, big problems will occur.

For example, the helper who washes vegetables and dishes at the sink is the most junior position in the kitchen, but even in this position, if the dishes that should be washed are not washed, the chickens, ducks, fish, crabs, etc. that should be slaughtered are not slaughtered in time, and the side dishes There is no raw material in the pier, so we can only wait. Once they stop here, the lotus cook will have nothing to do. Then the wok owner will also stop, and the entire kitchen will stop as well.

As soon as the back kitchen stops, chaos will begin. The foremen from the front restaurant will run in one by one to order the dishes. Everyone is grabbing the dishes they want to order at the lot or at the pier, and then go to the front row. The guests in the restaurant are scolding. It's already going on, these foremen don't care about the scoldings and glares from the people here, no one can stop them.

If you yell, they will scream louder than you. They all say that the customer is God. Now God is sitting in front of you and cursing people. What else do you want?

The original orderly rhythm and arrangement of the kitchen will soon be disrupted, and the entire kitchen will be a disaster scene.

The door of Zhang Chen's office was open. Huijuan pressed her fingers on the door twice and then came in. Zhang Chen quickly asked her to sit down. Huijuan did not sit down and stood there and said to Zhang Chen:

"Brother Zhang, I still don't know what's going on. I want to give it a try first."

"Trial opening?" Zhang Chen asked, "Isn't the trial opening scheduled for the 18th?"

Huijuan shook her head and said: "It's not a trial opening. The trial opening will be on the 18th as we originally planned. Before that, I want to give it a try first. It won't be open to the public. It's all our own people. That's it. It doesn’t matter if something goes wrong, we still have a few days to adjust.”

"I understand, it's like our troupe used to arrange a stage walk before performing in any place so that everyone can have an understanding of the stage." Zhang Chen said.

"Yes, it is also a stress test to see how the connection between each link is." Huijuan said, "The more people come, the better. If there are only dozens of tables, the pressure is not enough and the test cannot be done."

"So careful?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes." Huijuan said, "We will open on the 18th, so we don't dare to smash it. If we smash it, it will be very difficult to think about it again."

Zhang Chen nodded.

When a hotel opens, it is very important to get off to a good start. When you open the hotel, everyone comes to your opening ceremony with the intention of giving it a try. At this time, everyone actually comes with a critical eye to see your dining environment. They are also picky about the taste of the food, the service attitude, and even the speed at which you serve the food.

No one wants to go to that kind of place where the food is served slowly. A table full of people sits and stares longingly at the empty table in front of them. When a dish is served, everyone will clean it up together. As a result, the more they eat, the hungrier they become. In a hotel, no matter how good you are in other aspects, people will be afraid and want to say goodbye to you.

If everything is done well here and everyone is satisfied, the people who dine here will be planning who they will invite to eat here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. With word of mouth, the hotel business will soon be up. .

On the other hand, if he feels that you are not good here or that place is not good, and that a hotel as big as yours is actually just mediocre, he will ruthlessly exclude this place from his alternative hotels, and it will not take long either. , here is a deserted place with few cars and horses.

As long as business is down, it will be difficult to pick it up again.

Zhang Chen and Huijuan set the time for tomorrow, the night of the 15th. In this way, there are still three days before their opening day.

"I will ask the shops in the hotel leisure area to open their doors tomorrow to see how everyone responds," Huijuan said.

Zhang Chen said yes, our company will treat us to dinner tomorrow. If anyone comes to buy anything from them, they will have to pay for it out of their own pockets and let them do the same as normal business. It can be considered a trial opening day.

Huijuan nodded: "Then I'll inform them. Are you looking for someone to eat?"

Zhang Chen said yes, I will try my best to fill the room for you.

Zhang Chen asked Xu Qiaoxin to bring over everyone who could be brought over from the factory, and asked Tan Shuzhen, Qu Tianlin, Xiaofang and Liu Yun to bring over everyone from the company, and asked Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to bring over people from their central kitchen, Wu Zhaohui and Xiao Wu , Zhang Chen also arranged the task of bringing two hundred people each to the banquet.

Zhang Chen also asked Hagen to invite the merchants in the M-Zone, the customers who rent the office buildings above them, and the merchants in the "Sky City" e-commerce industrial park, to come over for dinner.

Zhang Chen asked Xiaoshu to invite his classmates and teachers. He also called two land reclamation warriors and his mother and Xiaofang's mother.

Xu Wenhui happened to be in Hangzhou. When Zhang Chen went to talk to Tan Shuzhen about this matter, he heard it on the side. Xu Wenhui said to Zhang Chen:

"Mr. Zhang, arrange four boxes for me. I'll invite all the media in Hangzhou, including the Central Media Office in Hangzhou, as well as brothers and sisters from Xinhua News Agency's Zhejiang Branch."

Zhang Chen hurriedly said: "Goodbye, let's invite you again on the 18th. Tomorrow we will all be insiders and it will be an internal test."

"What are you afraid of? Good food should be eaten while it's hot." Xu Wenhui said, "Tomorrow is coming, and the news will come out the day after tomorrow. Just in time for your opening, there will be a big wave of publicity. The largest hotel in Hangzhou has opened. It is worth coming here. One wave.”

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that what I'll eat tomorrow won't be good."

Xu Wenhui understood and said, "It's okay. I'll just say hello to them and let everyone report the good news but not the bad news."

Zhang Chen said okay, thank you, Xu Wenhui.

Xu Wenhui raised the index finger of his right hand and moved it forward, meaning it was trivial.

Zhang Chen felt that he had called everyone in Hangzhou who could think of, but there were still only more than 4,000 people, and the attendance rate was only 70 or 80. It seemed that Huijuan's promise of a full house was blown. Fang and Tan Shuzhen were a little scared when they looked at the huge restaurant in front of them. Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen said:

"It's so big that I can't even sit down on my free meal. Zhang Chen, where are you going to find something to spend money on?"

Zhang Chen felt a little guilty, but he still said: "It's too late to say anything now. The arrow is on the string and we have to shoot it."

"Okay, give our company five tables, and I'll cover them for a month to support you." Tan Shuzhen said.

Liu Yun smiled and said: "There are not so many people in our company who can go out to eat. I can only eat three tables in a month."

"We have five tables, and it lasts a month." Wei Wenfang and Zhang Chen said.

"What about you?" Zhang Chen looked at Xiaofang and asked.

Xiaofang scratched her head and said, "Anyway, I bring everyone from the company here every day and use this place as a canteen."

Zhang Chen said okay, thank you. I was afraid that it would be too ugly to have no guests. It would be a huge blow to Huijuan and the others.

Qu Tianlin came over and asked what they were talking about. Tan Shuzhen told her, and Qu Tianlin said, so do I. Since this hotel has been built, we must support it no matter what.

Zhang Chen raised his hands to them and said, thank you, thank you!

Guests came one after another. Zhang Chen walked away. He first walked to the entrance of the underground parking lot below. He saw Hagen leading the security captain to direct the steady flow of vehicles and security guards who came in and ran to the road outside. command.

Haigen saw Zhang Chen and walked over to him and said that there are usually not so many people and cars at night. I just told the captain that the security department needs to increase manpower. Hotels and markets are different. Guests arrive at about this hour. If you come together in a concentrated manner, you must arrange more manpower at this time.

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you for your hard work.

Zhang Chen walked to the elevator to take a look. Although there were many people, fortunately there were enough elevators and the connection speed was very fast. There were not many people stranded here. Zhang Chen felt relieved and walked forward through the dynamic zone. He wanted to see the situation of the elevator in front, but he met Huijuan here. Huijuan and he thought about it together. She came down to see the operation of the elevator.

The two of them laughed, and Zhang Chen told her that it was normal in the back.

Huijuan nodded.

The two of them went upstairs together, and when the elevator door opened, they saw that the small shops in the lobby were crowded with people coming here to eat. Everyone felt strange about the arrangement of a shop-in-shop in the hotel.

When Zhang Chen saw Xu Wenhui and many reporters taking photos and videos, he stopped and did not go over. Huijuan asked, "Why don't you go over and take a look?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, wait a minute.

Huijuan understood and laughed: "Are you afraid of Xu Wenhui?"

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, Xu Wenhui saw him, called "Mr. Zhang" and led people towards them. If a reporter who knew Zhang Chen wanted to interview him, Zhang Chen quickly pointed at Huijuan. explain:

"She is the general manager here. If you have any questions, just ask her."

A group of people immediately surrounded Huijuan. Xu Wenhui looked at Zhang Chen and cursed: "Slippery!"

Zhang Chen walked away with a smile. He walked to the milk tea shop and saw Wang Minsheng personally sitting here today. Wang Minsheng saw him and told him that there were too many people buying milk tea. I have prepared 500 cups here today. , I thought it was enough, but it turned out that it was almost sold out, so I asked them to send over materials for another 500 cups.

Zhang Chen nodded.

Wang Minsheng and Zhang Chen said, "I want to go to the kitchen and have a look."

The manager of their back kitchen was Wang Minsheng's apprentice. Zhang Chen and Wang Minsheng said, "I will go with you, and I will also go to the back kitchen to have a look."
