Chapter 306: Calculating Hunter
Hunter looked at the $1 million check in his hand and looked at William with some confusion, he certainly wouldn't be so idiotic as to think the money was a tip.
"Except for today's expenses, the rest will be deposited in Ambrosio's gold card", William asked with a smile, "Your restaurant has a business of pre-stocking meals."
Hunter smiled, "Originally, there was no such service, but", waved the check in his hand,
"For the sake of this $1 million check, I don't think any restaurant will refuse to add this service to you," he said.
Slightly bowed to William, "You will be the first diamond-level customer in our restaurant, in order to show your gratitude, this meal is free,
In the future, you and Mademoiselle Ambrosio will enjoy an 8.5% discount on dining in our restaurant".
"Ah" Martin, who was standing on the side, exclaimed softly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, Martin hurriedly apologized,
"I'm sorry, guys, but I was rude."
Everyone signaled that it was okay, and Martin said to William, "Mr. Devon Hill, as far as I know, Restaurant 11 never gives discounts, let alone discounts, and some people can't wait for a price increase several times when they celebrate their birthday."
"Haha, really?" William smirked and complained in his heart, what's so strange about this, I'm super rich.
Three Michelin stars sounds great, well, in fact, they are, but these three-star restaurants don't always be three-Michelin stars.
If you are not careful and make a few small mistakes, three Michelin stars will fall to two Michelin stars,
Although Michelin-starred restaurants don't need advertising, the more famous the restaurant, the more delicious it is, in fact, it needs gimmicks and topics
Having a topic is the only way to ensure the fame and prestige of the chef, otherwise why would those famous three-Michelin-starred chefs be so active in TV food shows.
The more famous you are, the more opportunities you have to open a branch and the more money you may make.
The $1 million pre-stocked meal fee is a very good gimmick, which is why Chef Hunter of No. 11 decided to give William a discount without consulting the other shareholders of the restaurant.
Because he understood this truth, William didn't think there was anything surprising about this.
However, hearing the word birthday, William suddenly remembered his mother Lena's birthday on the 23rd of next month, and he didn't seem to have prepared for the birthday party.
Looking at Hunter, who was the most prestigious in the catering industry in front of him, William's eyes rolled, and he smiled and thanked Hunter.
"Thank you, but maybe the $1 million will be spent at the next banquet."
"What do you mean by that," Hunter asked suspiciously, "Mr. Devon Hill, in fact, the consumption of our restaurant is not high, and the average person is only about $500 if you add wine.
That's a million dollars enough for 1,000 meals for you and Mademoiselle Ambrosio."
"Haha, Hunter, although you are quite right, don't forget Mademoiselle Ambrosio's banquet".
William glanced at Ambrosio, who was also puzzled, and explained with a smile: "Men make money for women, and dishes really don't cost much.
This banquet is the first time that my girlfriend, Miss Ambrosio, has officially hosted a dinner with friends, so anything related to the banquet I need the best,
I don't understand the ingredients, so I won't talk about them, but those tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of wines, do you also have an 8.5% discount in your restaurant?"
William's question made Chef Hunter chuckle in his heart, and he couldn't help complaining, it was really a headache to meet a big dog like William who didn't talk about the price and only talked about face.
Normally, most of the wine ordered by customers is about a few hundred to a thousand dollars, and there are few who can order a few thousand dollars.
If it is a set meal, the price of alcohol consumption will be lower, because the wine of the set menu is generally recommended by the professional sommelier of the restaurant according to the taste and dishes of the guests.
There is a great deal of choice in this type of wine, and most of the time it is not by the bottle, but by a glass.
But if it is true that the banquet wine is all tens of thousands of wine, their restaurant will definitely lose money, and the business that will lose money is not up to him alone.
And even if he struggled to lose money for the sake of reputation, he didn't dare to sell those tens of thousands of wines at an 8.5% discount.
Hunter said a little weakly: "This is really a big problem, our restaurant focuses on the innovation of ingredients and dishes, and has always advocated that wine is for the sake of serving the dish, so the price of alcohol has always been very transparent.
Basically, the goods are taken from each winery, the price is increased by about 12%, and the price of the first-level distributors on the market is 1% to 3% lower.
But it is impossible to achieve 8.5% off those reserve-grade wines, and we can indeed buy reserve-grade wines by virtue of relationships".
Being able to buy wine that no one else can buy makes Hunter very proud, but soon Hunter is depressed and says to William:
"It's a pity that even if we can buy it, we don't dare to sell it at such a low price, otherwise those wine merchants will definitely want to eat us."
The reason for Hunt's embarrassment is that William knows very well that reserved-grade wine is a scarce product.
Other wine merchants sell you face, but you sell it at a price lower than the price you bought, that is smashing other people's jobs.
Cutting off someone's money is like killing his parents, and because of this, William is now smiling and waiting for Hunter to speak.
Hunter thought for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Devon Hill, but I didn't think about it on my part, and as compensation for your 、、、."
"Sorry, wait", interrupting Hunter, he waited for Hunter to say compensation, but this compensation had to be mentioned by himself,
There were times when William cared a lot about money, but when it came to his mother, William was very generous.
talked nonsense for a long time, just to force Hunt, the most prestigious chef, into a corner, and now the goal has been achieved, so William said directly,
"I don't care about that money, if you want to compensate me, how about coming to England on the 23rd of next month to be the chef for my mother's birthday?
As long as you are willing to go to England, I can cancel the discount of your restaurant, as long as I keep the right to eat whenever and wherever I want,
For you and your team's salary", after thinking about it, he quoted a price that made everyone breathe: "How about $1.5 million for 3 days?"
"Hiss" Except for Hunter, the others took a breath, and this price was probably the highest price in the chef world
You're not surprised, thought for a moment, and sighed in a low voice amid the surprised gazes of the people around him, "Mr. Devon Hill, this is probably your purpose."
"Haha", William was a little surprised that Hunter would be so calm-headed, but now he has asked for others, and calculated others, seeing that Hunt was still hesitating, he began to play the family card, and said with an unusually good attitude,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, I know you're very busy, but the 23rd of next month is the first birthday for my mother in my history.
For me, my mother gave too much, so I wanted to give her the best birthday party,
There is no chef in the world of chefs who is more famous, more experienced, and has been in three Michelin stars for a longer period of time, so I think you are the most suitable chef for your cuisine."
