Su Tang knows that opening a restaurant is very tiring!
But I don't know how tired I am!
On the morning of the opening, I started to buy various things, and then followed the kitchen to cook.
After cooking, the door finally opened.
But the swarm of diners made her completely overwhelmed. If it weren't for the help of friends, Xicheng Restaurant might not be able to operate.
That's fine.
After a short rest, there was an endless stream of people who came to apply for the job as a buddy.
Su Tang is still a little strange, why no one came here before, why are they here today
Fortunately, the accountant explained her doubts.
It turned out that everyone was afraid that the Xicheng restaurant would close within a few days after opening, and even if they came to work, they would not work for a long time.
Everyone is looking for a long-term job, so naturally they will not consider this place.
But I didn't expect that Xicheng Restaurant was really run by Su Tang.
The most important thing is that Su Tang is kind to his subordinates, that's his reputation!
Hearing this, Su Tang was a little puzzled and said, "How is my opponent? Why didn't I know that I still have such a reputation?"
The accountant smiled and said: "Everyone can see clearly, the owner is very polite to the guys, and even better to us. Those who come to eat can see it."
"And your early shop, which one of you does not boast."
If the accountant hadn't said it, Su Tang would not have known about it.
Combining the two things together, many people have moved their minds. Working in restaurants is a bit tiring, but the wind can't blow and the rain can't be drenched. It is already better than many jobs.
Moreover, food and housing are managed here, and all the money earned can be saved!
Anyway, for these reasons, the result was that Su Tang interviewed more than forty people in one go.
But in the end, there were five guys left, two helpers in the kitchen, and three aunts were hired to help pick vegetables and wash dishes.
Ten people were recruited in one go, and there were suddenly many more people working in Xicheng Restaurant.
In addition to the previous seven people, there are seventeen people in the store!
Nowhere is this a small number.
Moreover, the people recruited are all down-to-earth and willing to work. They are very grateful for coming here to do things, and they will not leave easily.
On the second day, the efficiency of Xicheng Restaurant was significantly faster.
The accountant settles the accounts at the counter.
Li Fan, the clerk and steward, led five people under his command and began to clean up the table and tidy up the plates.
After finishing these things, take someone to the back kitchen to help pick vegetables and process ingredients.
Because it is a big pot of rice, it takes several people to peel the garlic and onion.
The aunts who are specially hired to pick vegetables and wash dishes are all older, in their fifties, they are the most able to endure hardships, and they are also comfortable among a group of men.
The three aunts are neat and have a clear division of labor. They handle vegetables.
And the helper handles the meat.
Su Tang recruited two more cooks for Master Hao Quankun, now there are six of them.
Hao Quankun suggested to Su Tang that one of his young apprentices could also try cooking. Su Tang tasted the young man's cooking, and immediately gave him a monthly fee so that he could start a stove with the help of Master Hao up.
This is very important for a cook.
So the kitchen became, Master Hao, the chef, brought his apprentice, and the following five help cooks.
They came to deal with the meat early in the morning, and Master Hao taught them what the newcomers didn't understand.
These chefs are also apprentices, and they are very serious.
After going all the way, Su Tang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the people working in Xicheng Restaurant are familiar with the process, she doesn't have to keep an eye on her all the time.
And she is very optimistic about Li Fan, as long as Li Fan does well, he can be promoted to be the manager of the restaurant! She saw that Li Fan was still secretly learning to read in private, which is a good thing.
After the buddy Li Fan has finished training, he can come over to check the accounts in two or three days.
Wouldn't that be easy
Of course, these things still need to be observed and observed.
On the second day of opening, no friends came to join us this time. How the business is doing depends on whether everyone is willing to come in!
But everyone was busy in the back kitchen. When cooking and steaming rice, the accountant in front came over to wipe the sweat from his head.
"Boss, before the door of our restaurant opens, there are already many people waiting at the door."
What? What time will it be? According to Su Tang's time, it's not even eleven o'clock. Why are so many people coming
Su Tang and the guys had no choice but to go to the front to have a look, and they heard everyone talking about their Xicheng Restaurant outside.
"The food here is really so delicious?"
"Of course, I ate here yesterday, and the taste is absolutely amazing. The key point is that it's not expensive!"
"If it's really fifteen yuan, four dishes and one soup, it's really okay."
"Actually, it can't be said to be cheap, but it is definitely not expensive!"
"The key is that if you are not full, you can spend another penny to make rice!"
"Yesterday, my brother finished eating there and even drank three bowls of mung bean soup. Even if he was resting inside, the guys in the store didn't chase people away, saying that everyone is usually tired and has no place to rest, and it's okay to rest in the store."
"My God, is it so good?"
"That's right, they are all ordered by their boss."
"The big restaurant is different, it's the first time for me to eat in the big restaurant."
"Anyway, I came here for fame. Yesterday, there was a steward of a Yangzhou merchant ship. The steward praised the food here as good. I heard that people from their merchant ship will come here soon."
"This Yingchun Building has been changed to Xicheng Restaurant, it's such a big change, it's amazing."
"Is Su Tang the owner now? How do I remember that she is only sixteen years old?"
"Her parents died, so she had to support a family."
"Then take care of business."
"Don't be ridiculous, look at her breakfast shop business, and then look at this, we don't need to take care of it at all, if you can buy it, you will make money!"
"Don't say that, the little girl is very nice, and the breakfast shop also has free soup, which is also available here. In fact, it is very good for us."
Anyway, all these discussions reached the ears of the people in the restaurant, even Hao Quankun's four chefs came out to listen.
Hearing that they were in the gossip shop, the chef and the guys were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to ask them to reason.
Su Tang stopped him and said, "It's okay, let them say, let's open a shop and do business, there is no way we can disagree."
Su Tang said so, everyone had no choice but to give up.
But there are so many people lined up outside
Are they going to open early
Su Tang refused. If the door is opened earlier now, it will be opened earlier in the future. It is better to open the door according to noon time, which is eleven o'clock in the noon.
After waiting for a long time, diners will know the time and know it well.
Knowing that there were so many guests at the door, Master Hao immediately asked people to continue steaming rice and preparing dishes.
Anyway, it shouldn't hurt to do more, right
But before opening the door, they also had to eat.
So the customers outside the door waited, and suddenly they smelled the aroma of rice, it was the people working in the store who were eating!
Once you're done eating, it's time to entertain your guests!
But the people outside couldn't wait anymore, they were shouting to open the door!
The employees of Xicheng Restaurant had to eat quickly, and then opened the door to welcome customers.
When the customers saw the door of the restaurant opened, they just wanted to lose their temper, when they saw that the guys in the whole restaurant were neatly dressed and smiling, making it difficult for anyone to lose their temper.
This is because Li Fan trained well.
Moreover, Su Tang made three changes of clothes for each of them, which of course looked clean.
The guests came in in line, guided by the servants, first pay the money and get the plates from the cashier. Today there are enough people, the accountant just collects the money, and the guy next to him helps to give the plates.
The two work together to keep guests from waiting too long.
After getting the plates, I went to line up for cooking. Today, there were only two people ordering food. The new guy got started soon, and the guy in the middle served Chengtang with rice.
There are three people working together on their side, and they seem to be in order.
There is also a person who is responsible for collecting the plates and bowls. These plates and bowls are made of wood and are very light, and you can hold many in a stack.
And their manager, Li Fan, connects the back kitchen with the hall, to see which dishes are running out in the hall, and quickly let the back kitchen do it.
Needless to say, the back kitchen, Master Hao, with his apprentices and six assistant cooks, prepares and stir-fries non-stop, with only occasional gaps.
But Su Tan even asked people to take out ice water from the ice cellar to relieve the heat for everyone, which was also considered refreshing.
Finally, there are three dishwashing aunts, beside the special sink, they clean the dishes taken back by the guys, otherwise there may not be enough dishes and bowls in front.
Some people said before that Su Tang recruited too many people, but now it seems that there are not many people at all.
Or even two more to take the pressure off.
But fortunately, their restaurant doesn't need waiters to serve food, they let the customers line up by themselves, which relieves some pressure, otherwise it will be really exhausting!
However, the people who work in Xicheng Restaurant thought that the owner said that as long as they do well, there will be bonuses at the end of the month!
When I think of this, I am immediately motivated!
Otherwise, people passing by would be a little curious when they saw how busy this restaurant was.
Look at the menu at the door again, good guy, only fifteen yuan for four dishes and one soup
It's not a lie, is it
But with so many people eating inside, would it be a lie
Many people walked in with a skeptical attitude, and then decided that Xicheng Restaurant, as long as they work in Xicheng, they must come here to eat!
And Yuan Hongwei, one of the guests who came yesterday, was stunned when he walked to the door, how could there be so many people!
Those who followed him were also very surprised.
"Old Yuan, this is the restaurant you mentioned? How can a restaurant of this size only cost fifteen yuan per person? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Seeing him joking, Yuan Hongwei said with a straight face: "If you don't believe me, just take a look and you'll know."
But there are five or six of them in a group, and they have to line up to pay for the plates.
Waiting to get the plate still needs to queue up to eat.
Fortunately, there are people to maintain order, even the queue is very fast.
When several people stood in front of the meal, their eyes were straightened.
Hey guys, there is such a convenient method? It's too powerful.
They are all doing business frequently, and they can see the benefits at a glance.
This kind of box lunch is most suitable for people who work at noon. It saves time and effort and is rich.
For such a convenient thing, people no longer expect the taste, and the convenience alone is enough to stand out.
But when the food was in their mouths, except for Yuan Hongwei, everyone else had shock on their faces.
What is done with this meat!
How can it be so delicious
The tofu is also extra tender
God, it is worthy of being at the feet of the emperor! Things are convenient and delicious!
Yuan Hongwei smiled with satisfaction when he saw how they had never seen the world.
It seems that he is not the only one shocked by such a restaurant! He is not the only bumpkin!
From Yuan Hongwei's point of view, he was afraid that this lunch box would affect the catering of the entire Cangqin Kingdom. As long as there is a need for convenient food, there will definitely be box lunches.
After he has eaten, he must have a good chat with the boss! Introduce convenient box lunch to Yangzhou
