The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen used chopsticks to pick up each dish and taste it. Huijuan poured him a glass of water and asked him to rinse his mouth after tasting one dish, so that his sense of taste would be more sensitive when he tasted the second dish.

Zhang Chen said no, it’s not that particular. Besides, who comes here to eat in such a way? I will taste these new dishes from the perspective of a diner who comes to eat today. If they are delicious, they will be the same. ten.

Fatty Fu smiled and said, "It makes sense."

Zhang Chen tasted a little of each item. While he was tasting, the other three people looked at him. Zhang Chen said, "Why are you looking at me and eating it too?"

The three of them were all smiling, but did not move their chopsticks. Zhang Chen knew that they were waiting for his opinion.

Zhang Chen tasted every dish, took a sip of wine, and then said to them:

"If I say 100 points, I'm afraid you'll be proud, so I'll give you 98 points."

Huijuan smiled and said: "This is already making me proud."

She looked at the executive chef, who said, "I know, boss, these dishes can be put out."

Everyone relaxed, Fatty Fu gave Zhang Chen a drink in return, and Huijuan followed.

Putting the cup down, Huijuan breathed a sigh of relief and said that the day was finally over. Although it was not full, there were so many people and the pressure was enough.

"What's the result?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Better than I expected." Huijuan said, Zhang Chen nodded, he had already seen this.

Zhang Chen asked the executive chef: "Is there any problem in the kitchen?"

The executive chef nodded towards Huijuan: "That's what the boss said. I've finally taken over. If we add another 30 to 40% of the guests, the kitchen will be able to keep busy."

Zhang Chen nodded: "That's good."

"Don't take it lightly." Huijuan said, "Today is all a treat for our company, there is no ordering, the menu has been arranged by us, and a lot of preparation work has been done in advance. It would still be different if the guests all order by themselves. "

The executive chef said: "I know that especially the side dishes here will be very busy, so I left five dishes unfinished today."

Fatty Fu said: "There is one more thing. It will only take a few days. After everyone is familiar with the new venue, their hands and feet will be quick. So, especially in the previous week, you should pay close attention."

Huijuan and the executive chef both nodded.

Zhang Chen turned to Huijuan and asked, "Where's the front?"

"There are many problems ahead." Huijuan said, "First, most of them are new employees. Today is their first day on the job. They are still a little unfamiliar in all aspects. In the next two days, targeted training will be conducted.

"The most troublesome thing is the waiters. I looked at the front and saw that several of them were crying and had blisters on their feet. They had been holding the trays for so long that they couldn't even lift them up. It will be very painful tomorrow. .”

"Are these all new employees?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's the same for old employees. The restaurant is too big, which means that one shift has to travel several times longer than before. The most important thing is that the distance between the food delivery port and the table was short before, so you wouldn't feel tired. Now the distance is longer. , the arm can’t bear it.”

Zhang Chen felt that this was indeed a problem, and he asked: "What should we do?"

"Ding, what else can we do?" Huijuan said: "I'm thinking, one is to try to arrange the old waiters and male waiters to pass the dishes first, and the other is to make some adjustments to our service standards, such as The original rule states that waiters can only hold the tray with one hand. I am considering changing it to allow waiters to hold the tray with both hands when walking in the middle of the restaurant.

"Also, let the waiters on duty increase their awareness of cooperation and try to cooperate with the waiters to reduce their waiting time."

Zhang Chen nodded, feeling that this adjustment was good.

"Huijuan, do you feel confident now?" Fatty Fu asked from the side.

Huijuan smiled and said: "This person seems to have been forced to do it. When he didn't do it, he thought about all the things and felt terrible. But when he actually did it, he felt that it was not so terrible. Even if there are any problems, they can be solved. of."

Zhang Chen picked up the cup and said to Huijuan and the executive chef: "Come here, let me toast you. You have worked hard during this period, and it will only be harder in the future."

Huijuan and the executive chef looked at each other and laughed. Fatty Fu was beside him and said with some schadenfreude: "This glass of wine is not good to drink."

"Don't be afraid." Huijuan said, "Anyway, we will go step by step."

"If it doesn't work, I'll ask Master to come over and help." Huijuan said to Fatty Fu with a smile.

…

Starting from the next day, various media outlets in Hangzhou began to publish intensive reports on the Xintu Xiangyuan Hotel, the largest hotel in Hangzhou. Each report inevitably used a lot of adjectives, with pictures and texts. Every aspect of their hotel, from the dishes to the dining environment to the jaw-droppingly large kitchen, has appeared in the media.

This quickly attracted the attention of Hangzhou citizens, including many colleagues, who were also very interested in such a large-scale hotel and kitchen. Many bosses quietly called and ordered meals at Xintuxiangyuan Restaurant. When the hotel opens, they have to bring people from their hotel to show off their signs.

It can be said that the Xintu Xiangyuan Hotel has really not opened yet, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Xu Wenhui asked Zhang Chen: "How's it going, Mr. Zhang? Isn't this wave of publicity awesome?"

"Awesome." Zhang Chen said, "If I hadn't looked at the name and photo, I would have known that this was about our hotel. Those adjectives can be used to build a wall."

Xu Wenhui laughed loudly: "I told you, if this deal is a flower, it will be wonderful."

On March 18, the day when the Xintu Xiangyuan Hotel opened, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chen left his office and took the elevator to the hotel.

He saw the four ordering phones at the hotel service desk ringing non-stop, and some people were ordering directly from the Internet. When the foreman saw Zhang Chen, he happily told him that all the tables for tonight had been booked, and there were still many people calling. The call came in and the reservation was no longer available.

Tonight, one-third of the guests were invited by Zhang Chen and the others, and there are still two-thirds of the seats available, and most of them are in the lobby. There should be more than 500 tables. With so many tables, it can be served before four o'clock. They were all booked by the time, which was still a bit beyond Zhang Chen’s expectation.

It seems that the consumption power of Hangzhou is still amazing.

At about five o'clock, Xiaofang, Liu Yun, Tan Shuzhen, Qu Tianlin and Lao Tang Lin Shuwan all arrived at Zhang Chen's office. After a while, Han Emperor Liu Bang, Lao Tan, Wu Zhaohui and Wei Wenfang also came. Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen said :

"Zhang Chen, it's not that I don't order food today, it's that you don't have any seats here."

Liu Yun, Qu Tianlin, and Wei Wenfang also said, yes, we are in the same situation.

Zhang Chen said to them: "If you can't decide today, please postpone it. Don't think I will let you go."

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and Lin Shuwan didn't know what they were talking about. Tan Shuzhen said, you were late that day, and she told them about the monthly meal package.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, laughed and said: "We don't have that many people, so I'll take care of three tables."

Lin Shuwan shouted: "Our school also reserves three tables."

Old Tang said from the side: "I have five tables in the factory, Your Majesty."

"Get out of here." Zhang Chen scolded, "You brought all the workers in the factory here to eat, and you don't want to complete the order? If you don't cry, Xu Qiaoxin will come to me and cry."

"I have a hunch." Liu Yun said, "I think what we write will probably be a bad check in the end."

"Why?" Wu Zhaohui asked.

"It's full every day, so there's no need for us." Liu Yun said.

When Liu Yun said this, Tan Shuzhen, Qu Tianlin and Wei Wenfang all told Zhang Chen to unsubscribe.

"Don't cheat. It will be a month before you unsubscribe." Zhang Chen said.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and time passed quickly. Lao Tan looked at his watch and said, "It's almost done, we can go down."

Everyone hugged each other and went downstairs together. In the elevator, Lin Shuwan asked Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty: "Where is Min Sheng?"

Before Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, opened his mouth, Zhang Chen said: "Minsheng is helping us in the kitchen. I saw him in front."

When they arrived at the rest area of ​​the hotel, they were shocked. The rest area was full of people. Even the teahouses and coffee shops next to it were also full of people. There was a long queue in front of Liu Bang's milk tea shop. .

Zhang Chen asked the receptionist: "Why don't these people come in?"

"Go in, where are you going?" The foreman looked at Zhang Chen strangely, and then remembered that Zhang Chen had misunderstood. The foreman quickly told Zhang Chen, "They are all waiting for dinner."

"So many people?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, there are some people who got their numbers and went down to the dynamic zone, saying they would come back later," the foreman said.

"Isn't that right? What I said will be fulfilled immediately." Liu Yun said from the side, and the other people also became excited.

"Mr. Zhang, can I make a suggestion?"

The foreman asked Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen said yes, you tell me.

"Can we put up a screen in foot bath shops, teahouses and cafes, so that customers waiting in these places can see what number we are in the queue now, so they don't have to worry, and we don't have to go everywhere. Find them," the foreman said.

Zhang Chen said okay, your suggestion is very good, I will let them install it tomorrow.

"I have a way." Liu Yun said, "I asked Guan Liang and others to help you develop a software. As long as the person ordering a meal leaves his phone number, starting from the time when there are twenty tables in front of him, a text message will be sent to him every five tables. In this way, even if they go to the dynamic zone below, they will know when it is almost their turn.”

"That would be great, if only there was such software." The foreman shouted, clapping his hands.

Other people also nodded and said, this is great. Xiaofang said: "In this case, those who order food online can order the food and then come slowly, and there is no need to rush on the way."

Zhang Chen and Liu Yun said, "Then I'll thank you."

"It's a small matter. Guan Liang and the others should be able to do this kind of software very quickly. I'll call him later and tell him." Liu Yun said.

Everyone walked into the restaurant together. Han Emperor Liu Bang and Zhang Chen said: "Little brother, I also have a suggestion."

Zhang Chen said yes, brother, you say it.

"Such a large restaurant with so many guests can be fully utilized." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said, "You can arrange a few waiters, just like the cart boys in the morning tea shop in the past, to push the carts in the restaurant. Come on, there are side dishes, snacks and fruits on the cart. When the guests see it, they will take it as they please. In this way, you can increase your income a lot with one cart in a day."

Everyone said that Liu Bang’s suggestion was good. Zhang Chen told them:

"You guys go to the box first. I'll go to Huijuan now and tell her that this can be done right away."

After the opening of the Xintu Xiangyuan Hotel, there were a lot of guests every day. Liu Yun's prediction was correct. Each of them booked as many tables as they wanted to support the scene. As expected, it turned out to be a blank check that no longer needed to be cashed. .
