Chapter 130 Preparations for the Opening of the Restaurant

"Tomorrow you and I will go to the county town to check out the restaurant. The repairs are almost done. We have already found all the people. What do your people say? Even if we haven't found any, we can still open it first."

Last time I said I would go to check on the progress of the restaurant's renovation, but because Jiang Youzhen was too busy, it was postponed until today.

"We have a candidate and are considering him. We will go and see him tomorrow and get everything ready. I still have to train the cook."

Jiang Youzhen didn't want to delay any more. "But I have to find a chef myself. My recipes are not passed on to others. I can't have all the chefs be yours!"

Jiang Youzhen hadn't considered this before. Some recipes still need to be in his own hands.

Tong Huaian laughed and shook his head, "It's up to you!"

He didn't expect to make much money from the restaurant, he just wanted to get information and use it as a secret contact point. In his opinion, Jiang Youzhen's concerns were nothing.

So easy to talk to? Jiang Youzhen looked at him suspiciously.

"If you're worried, I'll give you the cook's indenture contract?" Tong Huaian said with a smile.

"Okay!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.

Tong Huaian chuckled again, "You are really rude, so righteous!"

"It's not like I'm not paying you." It would be safer if all the cooks were yours!

However, Jiang Youzhen thought about it and realized that he would have to open many restaurants in the future and it was not realistic to have every chef be his own.

Jiang Youzhen just said that, but Tong Huaian actually took out a few pieces of paper from the secret compartment of the bookshelf in front of her and placed them in front of Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen took a look and found that it was indeed a contract to sell one's body.

"Really give it to me?" Jiang Youzhen was very surprised. Did this fox Tong Huaian take the wrong medicine?

"They are just a few cooks, what's wrong with giving them to you?" Tong Huaian still had a nonchalant look on his face, which made Jiang Youzhen look very calculative.

"You look so embarrassed? It's as if I don't trust you." Jiang Youzhen said as he put the indenture contract in his arms and took out a silver note of fifty taels.

"You spent 46 taels for the three cooks. Here's 50 taels. Let's settle the bill. I didn't cheat you!"

Huamei on the side wanted to say something but hesitated. How could a cook be so easy to buy? The young master also asked someone to buy him.

"Okay!" Tong Huaian did not refuse and took the banknote calmly.

Early the next morning, Tong Huaian took Jiang Youzhen to the county town.

The restaurant is in a great location, with two floors, and is very spacious, even the kitchen is very spacious.

Then the restaurant's owner and waiters came to greet him. In order to get familiar with these people, Jiang Youzhen called them over one by one to ask questions.

First, there is the shopkeeper, whose surname is Liu and he was originally from Tong Huaian’s company.

Shopkeeper Liu was very frank and told his origins. He was originally a surrogate son of Tong Huaian's biological mother's family, and was married into the Tong family as a dowry, and had always been in charge of the trivial matters around Tong Huaian.

I haven't said much. He is in his forties or fifties, looks experienced, smooth and good at dealing with people.

Jiang Youzhen didn't say much, just gave him a few words of encouragement and let him go. This person was not one of her own, so she didn't need to discipline his subordinates.

Next is the accounting office, where the same operation is performed. The last two people are the cook and the waiter, who are Jiang Youzhen’s main focus.

Although they are all small people, they often play a vital role in managing the restaurant.

The indentures of the three cooks were in her hands. Two of the waiters were sent by Tong Huaian, and the other three were recruited locally and had no connections in the restaurant, so Jiang Youzhen focused on these people.

"Work hard, learn my unique skills, and you will be a chef in charge in the future. We have more than one restaurant, and you have solid skills in your hands. You can go to other places to manage chefs in the future, and you don't have to hang around the stove all day."

The three cooks' eyes lit up. They had never thought that there was a manager among cooks. They had thought that they would be working in the kitchen for the rest of their lives, but they had never expected to live a comfortable life.

"Whoever has the ability to innovate recipes and has strong management skills can become a chef in the future. I don't need to say more, let's see how he performs next."

Jiang Youzhen made a big promise to them as soon as she arrived. The model she would adopt in the future was that the cooks would be transferred. After all, if they stayed in the same restaurant for a long time, it would be easy to get involved with the accountant and the shopkeeper, and the taste of the restaurant would no longer be fresh.

As for the guys, Jiang Youzhen picked out two smart ones, gave them Xu Nuo, and made them his spies.

"For every table of guests, before ordering, we must ask the guests if they have any dietary restrictions, whether they prefer light, sweet, or strong flavors. These are very important. All waiters must be able to read and write the names of our dishes within two months. They will learn this after closing time. They will be paid according to the number of days they work, ten cents a day."

Jiang Youzhen looked at everyone and ordered Manager Liu to write down his request and incorporate it into the restaurant's rules and regulations.

“When ordering, write down the dishes the guests order, write down any things that need to be noted, and hand it over to the kitchen.”

Seeing the guys below looking worried, Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly.

"The maximum monthly salary for waiters in other restaurants is 280 wen, but ours is 400 wen."

"Wow!" The five guys were overjoyed. They didn't expect such a high monthly salary before they came.

"In addition, the waiters sign their names on the order sheets. At the end of the month, we'll count the orders and whoever orders the most, has the best service attitude, and satisfies the guests the most will receive a corresponding reward."

The guys immediately started grinning from ear to ear, and all five of them were eager to try, looking very confident and expectant.

Jiang Youzhen will ask the shopkeeper to select the top sales person and top three sales persons of each month, and the amount of reward will be different.

"This will be related to the commission. After the shopkeeper and I have worked it out, we will announce it to everyone."

Jiang Youzhen glanced at the guys and saw that they were all in high spirits. He immediately nodded with satisfaction. This kind of positive attitude was what he wanted.

"Now let's talk about the kitchen. The kitchen must be equipped with a food preparation assistant who must be literate and smart. He must inform the kitchen of the menu and precautions for each table. He will be responsible for the preparation of the food. This position is very important. Manager Liu will consider the candidate and make sure he is in place before the opening."

Jiang Youzhen's explanation was very clear and everyone thought she was just a teenager and looked down on her, but now they all admired her. Even Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have gained more enlightenment the more he remembered, and nodded in agreement.

Tong Huaian listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that it was right to find Jiang Youzhen as a partner. This kind of rules and regulations for managing a restaurant was very novel, and he felt that it would be very effective.

Again, if you want everyone to work together, there must be benefits. Otherwise, the restaurant's profits have nothing to do with them, so why should they care? Just muddle through.

"This is just a rough outline of the system, which will be completed within seven days. In addition, the system of the restaurant must be kept confidential. Before the restaurant opens, everyone will sign a confidentiality agreement. If anyone leaks the secrets of the restaurant, they will be punished by going to the government office."
