After packing up his notes, Pei Qian walked out of the office.
"Everyone, please put down all the work at hand."
"We will go to the Mingfu family dinner in the city at four o'clock. The positioning has been sent to the group, and the company's The car can pull some of them, but for the others, you can form a team and take a taxi, and keep the invoice." After Pei Qian finished speaking, everyone's response was mediocre.
Hao Yun put his hand on his forehead and felt a headache.
Mr. Pei is here to disturb everyone’s work again!
Looking at the watch, it was only after three o'clock. The afternoon work had just started not long ago!
You are not allowed to work overtime on weekends. Many tasks cannot be done in the first place. As a result, Mr. Pei always likes to find ways to shorten everyone's working hours, shortening it by one hour today and two hours tomorrow...
If things continue like this, what will happen to this job?
Although everyone starts working in a hurry after going to work, not daring to delay for a minute, they still can't resist Mr. Pei's whim and want to engage in activities.
Just like now, there is no expectation at all.
Therefore, many people had no time to respond and just typed on the keyboard faster and harder, as if venting their anger.
Pei Qian frowned slightly.
These people have very problematic thinking!
Although we have dinner together every now and then, this is no excuse for you to work hard!
I am not active in eating and have problems with my thinking.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "There is a time limit of five minutes to save the file. Meet downstairs in five minutes."
"Xiao Tang, you will pull the switch on time in five minutes!"
Tang Yishu stood up quickly: "Ah, okay."
Everyone: "..."
There was a rush to save the file.
......
At four o'clock, everyone came to the Ming Mansion family dinner one after another.
The location of this high-end restaurant is not in the core business district of Jingzhou, but it is not far behind.
It is near Huanyu Street, but not inside Huanyu Street, probably because there is no such a big place in the shopping mall.
This is a three-story single-family building. The outside is decorated in an antique Chinese style, with red bricks and gray tiles, and it looks quite similar.
Pei Qian came to the Ming Mansion family banquet and found that Mr. Li had already arrived.
"Mr. Pei! Welcome."
"Mr. Li, you are fine."
The two people greeted each other and chatted for a while.
Mr. Li looked at the large group of people following Pei Qian: "Everyone, please come in quickly. Mr. Pei has reserved the room. Sit anywhere you want!"
Seeing that Mr. Pei brought such a There were many people, but Li Shi was still very moved.
Although I was given a 30% discount and the meal was basically unprofitable, Mr. Pei came to support me as a good friend, which is already a great honor in itself!
Li Shi originally thought that Mr. Pei’s compliment was just a few polite words.
After all, in business, once the Ming Mansion family banquet is held, the relationship with Wuming Restaurant will become competitors. Mr. Pei talks about supporting it, but who knows what he is thinking in his heart?
But now I see that a company dinner has been arranged. This is not just a simple compliment, it is really interesting!
If you want to have a dinner together, wouldn't Mingyun Private Kitchen be better?
Li Shi knew well that even if Mingfu Family Banquet could crush other restaurants in Jingzhou, it would still be a younger brother compared to Mingyun Private Kitchen.
It is condescending for Mr. Pei to come here to eat. What a face it gives!
So, Li Shi quickly told the store manager and waiters to treat them attentively and not to neglect them.
After sitting down, Pei Qian looked around.
Don’t mention it, this decoration is still very careful. It can be seen that a lot of effort and a lot of money have been spent.
Tables, chairs, tableware, decorations, etc. all have an antique look and a sense of quality.
But Pei Qian flipped through the menu and found that only Chinese food was available here, which was not as rich as the one at Mingyun Private Kitchen.
It’s easy to understand if you think about it carefully. This is because both restaurants claim to be high-end catering, but in fact they choose different routes.
Li Shi and Wang Peng know very well that the best way to open a high-end restaurant is to cooperate with an unknown restaurant.
Because the reputation of Wuming Restaurant has been established, everyone is more accepting of it. Even if Mr. Pei does not provide money or people, just a name will be of great help.
But Mr. Pei refused, so naturally he had to do it himself.
Completely copy the model of the unknown restaurant?
I’m afraid it’s unreliable.
Because copying the model of an unknown restaurant, it is easy to get the reputation of a "copycat", and such a reputation is very fatal for a restaurant with a high-end positioning.
Once word-of-mouth collapses, scoldings spread, and rich people no longer recognize the brand, then the high-end line will be completely finished.
Li Shi and Wang Peng are not stupid and cannot do such a thing.
So, we can only take the conventional high-end catering route.
It is located in a downtown area with a large flow of people and convenient transportation. The venue is large, and you don’t have to make a reservation in advance like an unknown restaurant.
Of course, naturally you cannot change the layout of the private room before each meal, and the dining environment cannot be so exquisite.
The good thing is that the place is big enough and most of the dishes are available on a regular basis.
It’s not as high-end as Mingyun Private Kitchen, but the prices of the dishes have been lowered accordingly. When you can’t make a reservation at Mingyun Private Kitchen, come here to eat. It’s better than the Swan Lake Restaurant. The side is more upscale.
Soon, dishes were served one after another.
On the way, Pei Qian had already asked Mr. Li for the menu in advance and arranged for Assistant Xin to order.
This way you can save time and eat directly here, so as not to delay getting off work.
As for the dishes, Pei Qian has no requirements, he just hopes to order more hard dishes.
Hard dishes often mean they are more expensive.
Pei Qian didn’t care what he was going to eat for this meal. After all, no matter how good the food was, he had already eaten it at Mingyun Private Kitchen. The main reason for coming here was to spend more money.
"Come on, let's eat quickly. After eating, go back and rest."
Pei Qian was the first to move his chopsticks and started eating, so that there would be no unnecessary steps. .
Li Shi came to Pei Qian's table with a smile: "How about Mr. Pei, does it taste to your liking?"
Pei Qian nodded and said vaguely: "Well, it's okay!"
He is not very good at lying. There is indeed a certain gap between the dishes here and Mingyun Private Kitchen, but they are still better than those at Swan Lake Restaurant. of.
But Swan Lake Restaurant has an advantage. It is basically a buffet there with a lot of seafood. Generally speaking, it is much more affordable than here.
But for Pei Qian, this is actually a negative point.
Li Shi also knows the quality of the food here. Mr. Pei eats at an unknown restaurant every day and can still give an "ok" evaluation of the food here, which is already quite a face.
Tang Yishu also sat with everyone in the administrative team, picking up the dishes bit by bit with some restraint and eating them in small bites.
......
Li Shi came to the kitchen and wanted to cheer everyone up.
As a result, before entering the kitchen, I heard a series of crisp sounds of "ping ping ping ping ping" coming from inside.
"Ouch!"
"I fell to death, the ground is too slippery!"
"Sweep the debris quickly!"
Li Shi frowned. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw fragments of plates scattered all over the floor, and two employees were busy cleaning with brooms.
Li Shiren was a little dizzy: "What's going on?"
A waiter quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li! The ground was too slippery and I accidentally fell." I fell down and broke a few dirty dishes that had just been taken back..."
Li Shi was speechless. He took a look and saw that there happened to be a puddle of water on the floor in the kitchen. He didn't know when it was left. It's really easy to slip.
"It doesn't matter, hurry up and pack it up."
"Look on the bright side, this can be regarded as finding a safety hazard."
"Hurry up tomorrow morning Time to buy anti-slip agent and anti-slip mat."
As soon as Li Shi finished speaking, he saw the wok next to him suddenly start to burn.
This is obviously not some high-end cooking technique, but a mistake by the chef.
"Quick, quick, fire extinguisher!!"
Someone next to me hurriedly handed over the fire extinguisher. The fire was quickly extinguished, but all the dishes in the pot were burned. Dump it out, change the pot and cook again.
Written by Li ShiheiFace: "The fire extinguisher is located too far away, which is also a hidden danger."
Although many safety hazards were indeed discovered, it was really painful!
Li Shi was a little helpless and murmured in a low voice: "Is it because I didn't check the auspicious day when I opened the business?"
"Why don't other people's restaurants seem to have these problems... ..."
"Calm down, calm down, this should be just a coincidence."
...
It was around 10 o'clock that night.
After seeing off the last wave of guests, the manager of the Mingfu family banquet was still instructing the waiters to clean up the mess.
Li Shi found a seat and sat down, feeling sincerely tired.
Today is the second day of opening, which is the most important time.
However, the situation happens frequently!
Although it was not a major safety hazard, it was nothing more than dropping a few plates, burning a pot of food, etc., but it greatly slowed down the speed of serving food.
There were several tables of customers who were very dissatisfied because they had to wait too long for their food to be served. The store manager personally came forward to say good things and gave discounts, which finally saved some money.
However, it is difficult to say how these people will evaluate their own restaurants after they go back.
It was okay when Mr. Pei booked the venue, because he ate earlier and booked the menu in advance, so when Mr. Pei and others arrived, a batch of dishes had already been prepared, and some of the dishes that followed were It was so slow that they didn't notice it.
In the evening, when other guests came to eat, this situation was exposed.
Li Shi is a little depressed. It’s just a restaurant. Is it so difficult?
The safety standards in my store are already very high compared with those of ordinary restaurants. Why are there still so many troubles?
But you can’t blame others, because the so-called safety hazard means that there is a certain probability that something will happen.
It's like accidentally spilling a puddle of water on the ground. Sometimes it's fine when you walk over, but sometimes you slip and spill the food you were about to serve all over the floor.
I can only say that my safety awareness is not strong enough!
Li Shi felt a little melancholy, and felt more and more that Mr. Pei's Mingyun Private Kitchen was really not simple.
The environment is exquisite, the serving time is extremely accurate, and the service is meticulous...
This high-end catering is really not as simple as imagined!
