In the next two days, if the restaurant received a group of guests every night, it basically received unanimous praise from the guests.
For a while, the discussion about Ruo Restaurant on the Internet not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.
In particular, diners who have been to Ruo Restaurant have posted various photos and their experiences of dining at Ruo Restaurant on the Internet. They were full of praise for the service and dishes, and almost all diners said they wanted to go there again.
At the same time, the restaurant's subsequent reservation service has been opened again.
Naturally, the number of online bookings after the launch is still very popular.
Especially after seeing the positive reviews from diners who have eaten there, many people are looking forward to booking a table to try it out.
Because there were too many people making reservations, Feng Yifan had to change his plans a little bit again.
He did not increase the number of guests received each day, and still only received one batch of guests every day. Then he extended the number of booking days until before National Day.
As for reservations during the National Day, Feng Yifan also announced on the Internet that the reservation channel will be opened two days before the National Day.
Seeing that the restaurant was gaining more and more attention on the Internet, Feng Yifan soon came up with a new idea.
“Everyone, my idea is to ask Meng Shitong and the others to come over and shoot a special introduction video for each of you. While the restaurant is currently receiving a lot of attention, I will recommend all of you to the general public.
Let the diners know that besides me, there are also a group of excellent chefs like you in the restaurant. "
At the end of the third day of business at Ruo Restaurant, Feng Yifan gathered everyone in the kitchen and explained his new idea.
After hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, not quite understanding why the chef did this.
Catherine started by saying, "Chef, top restaurants all use their chefs as their signature."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "We are not a top-notch restaurant. We are just an ordinary small restaurant."
Hearing the term "an ordinary small restaurant", everyone present was stunned.
Then Feng Ruoruo immediately raised her hand and said, "Dad, our restaurant is the best, not just any ordinary one."
The little girl's words brought everyone back to their senses.
Su Jinrong, who was present, smiled and said, "Ruoruo is right. If the restaurant has all of you here, how can it be considered an ordinary small restaurant?"
Feng Yifan continued, "We are indeed still just an ordinary small restaurant now, but of course we will work harder in the future to make ourselves less ordinary.
Eh? No, that's not what I want to talk about. "
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Feng Ruoruo also laughed happily with everyone else: "Haha, Dad is so stupid that he forgot what he said."
Feng Yifan looked at his daughter and said, "It's all your fault. You little girl interrupted Daddy."
Then he quickly brought the subject back.
“Okay, okay, my point is very simple. Next, Ruo Restaurant will promote each of you to let the guests know that in addition to me, Ruo Restaurant and Su Ji also have other equally excellent chefs like you.
A good restaurant cannot be supported by me alone, we need to let everyone know that we are a team.”
Ma Xiaolong immediately said, "But Master, we don't have your fame."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows that, comparatively speaking, Feng Yifan is now well-known, and people's recognition of him is definitely higher, and using him for publicity can also be more attractive.
The other people in the restaurant were relatively not that famous.
Although Catherine, Hans, Tom and Ma Xiaolong have all worked at the Perovence restaurant, they are not chefs in important positions at the restaurant after all.
Shi Jiahui's reputation in Shanghai is not that loud.
Not to mention Chen Xu and Luo Yu, who are not yet famous.
As for Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng, who are still apprentices, they are not worth mentioning.
Seeing that everyone was not so confident about their own situation, Feng Yifan was a little amused.
"Can you be more confident? Just because I said that our restaurant is just an ordinary small restaurant, do you think you are not good enough
Since you were chosen by me and can join Ruo Restaurant, it means you have enough strength, so shouldn’t you be more confident? Show your self-confidence and believe that you are the best. "
As Feng Ruoruo listened to her father speaking more and more passionately, the little girl raised her hand again to cheer her father on.
"Yeah, yeah, we're all awesome."
The little girl's cheering made everyone relax immediately, and smiles appeared on everyone's face.
Feng Yifan said: "That's right, our Ruoruo is right, you are all great, so you don't have to belittle yourselves here, you have to believe that being selected and being able to enter Ruoruo Restaurant is enough to show your strength.
I asked Meng Shitong and others to take pictures of you and promote each of you, which is actually promoting our Ruo Restaurant.
We want everyone to understand that the restaurant is not just about me, Feng Yifan, but also about each of you.”
Feng Yifan's words were still very inspiring, and they instantly ignited a flame in everyone's heart, and everyone seemed to have suddenly been ignited with fighting spirit.
Even the older Shi Jiahui was inspired by Feng Yifan's words at this moment.
However, after the excitement, Shi Jiahui calmed down relatively quickly.
"Yifan, I suddenly realized that if you don't become a chef and change your career to become a success guru, you might be more successful. Why didn't I see before that you are so good at stirring up people's emotions? You make even an old man like me excited."
Shi Jiahui's words made everyone burst into laughter.
Feng Yifan said helplessly, "Big Sister, I finally managed to muster up some enthusiasm, why are you pouring cold water on me?"
Shi Jiahui quickly said, "Ah, yes, everyone must cheer up, we are the best."
It would have been better if Shi Jiahui hadn't said this. But when she said it seriously, everyone laughed even more happily.
Feng Yifan was also somewhat helpless: "Okay, okay, everyone should just relax. There are still a few days before the National Day. I have already contacted Meng Shitong and the others. Let's start with Catherine. Catherine, you have to prepare tomorrow."
When Catherine heard that she was the first to speak, she suddenly became a little nervous.
"Start with me? Isn't it a bad idea to start with me? Shouldn't we start with the senior sister?"
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "How can you start with me? Don't forget, you are the sous chef of Ruo Restaurant."
After hearing what Shi Jiahui said, everyone immediately understood.
Feng Yifan also said: "Master Sister is right, Catherine, you are the deputy chef of Ruo Restaurant, so naturally you should be promoted first so that more people can get to know you. Otherwise, wouldn't you, the deputy chef, have no status at all?"
When Catherine heard Feng Yifan say so, she nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then Chef, do I need to prepare anything?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "You don't need to prepare anything. You just need to show your truest side. Of course, I hope you can be more confident and show your most beautiful side so that others know that there is a beautiful sous chef in the restaurant."
Catherine was a little embarrassed: "Chef, I'm not pretty either."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "How could that be? Ruoruo, do you think Sister Catherine is pretty?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately replied: "Beautiful."
Feng Yifan said, "Look, Ruoruo said you are beautiful, so you must be beautiful. When the time comes, our promotional theme will be, beautiful sous chef."
Catherine quickly waved her hand: "No, forget it. I'm actually very ordinary."
Su Ruoxi, who was also present today, had been silent the whole time, but after hearing this, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Why do you always focus on whether Catherine is pretty or not? If a restaurant's sous chef is memorable, shouldn't her cooking skills be the reason? So you should stop emphasizing Catherine's beauty and emphasize her abilities instead."
After hearing his wife's speech, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "My dear wife, you are right. Actually, I was just joking just now. I wanted to make Catherine more confident."
Su Ruoxi also said to Catherine: "Catherine, you really need to be more confident. Show your courage to clear the names of our female compatriots and let the men know that we women are not inferior to any men. You became the sous chef with your own strength."
After hearing what Su Ruoxi said, Catherine immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
Next, everyone came up with ideas and told Catherine how she should behave.
Catherine thought some of the ideas were great, but she found other ideas difficult to accept.
Feng Yifan did not interfere, but let everyone discuss it on their own.
Because in this process, the relationship between everyone in the kitchen will become closer.
This is the only way to make everyone in the kitchen become a whole.
After talking about the promotion and publicity for everyone in the kitchen, Feng Yifan mentioned the opening of Su Ji.
"Now the kitchens of our three shops have been connected, so we have to start preparing for Su Ji's next.
Su Ji will not use the reservation model of Ruo Restaurant. The first floor will maintain the previous model of allowing customers to come and order at any time, while the private rooms on the second floor will be based on the reservation model. In addition, I plan to set up a separate take-out window in Xiaolin’s shop.
This can divert some people and prevent Su Ji from being overcrowded.
Catherine, Hans, and Tom, you three should also be prepared. After Su Ji opens, I may be busy there. You must take good care of the restaurant's dishes and remember what I taught you. There must be no change in the taste."
Hearing this, everyone in the restaurant became serious.
When Catherine, Hans, and Tom heard Feng Yifan's instructions, they all responded very seriously: "Yes, chef."
Feng Yifan nodded, and then said to Shi Jiahui: "Big sister, I'll need to trouble you with some coordination work in Su Ji's kitchen."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "It's not a problem. As the assistant chef, those are my responsibilities."
Feng Yifan said to Ma Xiaolong, Lin Ruifeng, Chen Xu and Ning Cheng: "As for the four of you, you must absolutely obey the arrangements of Deputy Chef Shi. Do you understand?"
The four of them naturally agreed immediately: "Understood, Chef."
Finally, Feng Yifan said to Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng, "Ruifeng and Ning Cheng, I have an important task for you two. You two will take turns to be in charge of the takeout window of Xiaolin's shop. Are you willing?"
Feng Yifan made this arrangement because he took into account that Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng were not yet able to cook. So letting the two of them take turns to be in charge of the takeout window was a kind of training for the two of them, and it also gave them a chance to cook.
Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng looked at each other, and both hesitated for a moment.
Finally, Lin Ruifeng agreed first: "Master, I am willing to go."
Ning Cheng saw that his senior brother Lin Ruifeng had agreed, so he naturally nodded and agreed: "Master, I am willing to go too."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Very good, you two, don't think that letting you be in charge of the take-out window is to send you off, in fact, it is also an opportunity for you two.
Because with your current cooking skills, you two are not qualified to cook at Su Ji, so letting you two go to the take-out window is to give you two the opportunity to cook. After all, you need to cook fried rice and make some noodle toppings there.
I hope you two can seize this opportunity and hone yourselves."
Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng did not have many complaints. After all, they could have the opportunity to cook there, which was really good for them.
After explaining all this, Feng Yifan asked Su Liancheng again: "Brother-in-law, two days have passed, and you haven't chosen a waiter yet?"
Su Liancheng had been watching from the sidelines, but now it was finally his turn, and he immediately became serious.
"I conducted a round of screening and finally determined that there are about ten people who meet the requirements. However, I think neither Ruo Restaurant nor Su Ji will need so many people, so should we let them take turns to come to Ruo Restaurant and try it out?"
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but we need to speed up the process. Let them work in pairs and finalize the selections before National Day."
Su Liancheng nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow."
Feng Yifan added, "Also, I hope you can stay at Ruo Restaurant, because Ruo Restaurant needs you more. With you here to coordinate, I can feel more at ease and focus more on Su Ji. Brother-in-law, please think about this carefully."
The reason why Feng Yifan said this was because Su Liancheng said when he was recruiting that he wanted to find someone to replace him in Ruo Restaurant, and he wanted to go to Su Ji.
But Feng Yifan still hopes that Su Liancheng can stay in Ruo Restaurant, because this is a reservation-based restaurant and obviously needs a capable receptionist like Su Liancheng.
Su Liancheng hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Okay, I'll seriously consider it."
Almost everything was said and arranged, and Feng Yifan finally officially announced that he was leaving get off work.
