Chapter 220: Executive Chef [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
After finishing speaking, the boss stared at Wei Junming with straight eyes, hoping that he could help give a suggestion.
But Wei Junming didn't answer in a hurry, but politely said to him: "Boss Zeng, don't patronize it, eat vegetables and eat vegetables......"
Actually, this question is easy to answer.
As long as you change the head chef, all problems can be solved.
A big hotel is different from a small hotel, and the owner of a small hotel does everything himself, but the owner of a big hotel doesn't have the energy.
The owner of the hotel basically doesn't care about the kitchen, and the head chef is responsible for the dishes.
Some bosses are even abroad all year round, and they just listen to the manager's report every day.
Therefore, in large hotels, the head chef has a lot of power, and some restaurants can even directly appoint and dismiss chefs.
Aside from factors such as interests and favors, the taste and preferences of the head chef basically determine the taste and quality of the dishes in the kitchen.
Because the chef is set by the head chef, whether the chef stir-fries is appetizing or not is all up to the head chef.
Now the taste of Rongcheng cuisine has no characteristics, and the main reason is the head chef.
Whether it is Wei Junming or Xu Wenhai, this can be seen at a glance.
But neither of them said anything.
To say it is to offend people, and it is not worth it at all for a meal.
And people may have something to do with the boss, in case they are relatives, wouldn't saying this make the boss lose face.
So for this problem, I can only pretend to be stupid.
Wei Junming didn't answer his question, but chatted with Boss Zeng about the previous Rongcheng.
Boss Zeng suddenly understood, people didn't want to say it.
"Chef Wei, I'll tell you the truth, the head chef of the back kitchen is my brother-in-law, he used to be a teacher at the chef school, and when he heard that I had taken over your shop, he had the cheekiness to become the head chef......
Wei Junming smiled: "Since you know where the root of the disease is, you must also know what to do, right?"
This kind of thing, there is no need for Wei Junming to say anything.
If this Zeng boss can become a big boss, there must be a way to replace his brother-in-law.
He arched his hand at Wei Junming and said his true thoughts: "Can Master Wei recommend a suitable candidate for me?"
Wei Junming took a sip of wine from his wine glass: "Boss Zeng, I want to ask you a question, how much trust can you give to the head chef in the back kitchen?"
No matter what position, as long as the boss doesn't trust it, it's not easy to do.
Especially for such an important position as the head chef, if the food and beverage manager keeps dismantling his table, no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to achieve anything.
So, the trust of the boss is very important.
You can't let the family work and keep the department manager on the lookout for him.
Boss Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Master Wei has a suitable candidate?"
Wei Junming nodded: "When I was eating here at noon today, several of my apprentices were discussing changing jobs, originally they wanted to follow me to the Central Plains, but the child's school status was not good. ”
"And I run a small restaurant over there, and they are too aggrieved to go. Besides, this is a metropolis, and it is better not to leave if you can, so I didn't promise them to let them look for it again. ”
"One of them has been the head chef of Rongcheng Hotel for several years and is also well-known in the circle, and the others are also experienced chefs. ”
When Boss Zeng heard this, he became excited: "Are you talking about Master Guan, the head chef of Rongcheng Hotel? Oh, that's great, Master Wei, hurry up and let them come, it's easy to talk about the treatment or something......
"To be honest, the customers in the store who fry the dishes of your apprentices like them now, but they are too young and have only been cooking at home for a short time. ”
"If Master Guan can come, my shop will come back to life in minutes. ”
Wei Junming's apprentices are divided into two kinds, one is to learn everything by his side all the year round, and the other is to learn how to fry and find a job on his own.
has been following Wei Junming all the time, and he can indeed learn a lot of things, but the salary is low, and those apprentices who are anxious to make money will generally leave when they learn to stir-fry.
In Wei Junming's shop, they can only be a helper chef at this level, because there are too many masters, and it is not their turn to cook.
But it's different when you go out, once you go out, these people can basically interview to become chefs, and some can even interview to become chefs.
In the culinary circle of Rongcheng, Wei Junming's three words are golden signs, even if he is an apprentice who can only stir-fry, he has followed him for at least three years.
So as soon as Boss Zeng heard that there were several apprentices who were going to change jobs, he immediately became interested.
Especially when I heard that the other party was Master Guan of Rongcheng Hotel, I was even more excited.
That Chef Guan is also a well-known chef in the Rongcheng chef circle, and he has rich experience in management, otherwise because of him, Rongcheng Hotel would not be rated as one of the top ten hotels in Rongcheng.
He rubbed his hands excitedly, eager to ask Wei Junming to call now.
Boss Zeng can actually find the head chef himself, but if he doesn't know the bottom line, the head chef he found may be a pit, such as the kind of bombastic person.
Besides, although he is a restaurant owner, he is not an insider, which chef is easy to use, and which chef has shortcomings, he really can't figure it out.
That's why he can't wait.
But he was in a hurry, but Wei Junming was very calm.
"Boss Zeng, if you let a few of them come, you can't guarantee otherwise, the dishes in your store will definitely go up to the next level. However, useful people are not useful, and if you want them to come, you have to promise me one condition. ”
Boss Zeng hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"
Wei Junming smiled: "Give Xiaoguan a position as executive chef." ”
Boss Zeng glanced at Wei Junming in some surprise: "Are you worried that someone in my store will wear small shoes for him?"
Wei Junming smiled and asked, "What do you say?"
Boss Zeng's brother-in-law obviously has no experience and is just a teacher at the chef school, but he still became the head chef of Rongcheng Taste through soft grinding and hard brewing, which made Wei Junming have to be a little wary.
In case his apprentice comes to take office, this brother-in-law wears small shoes for him with a grudge, this is not a blockage for others.
Therefore, he had to nip this possibility in the bud in advance.
From the perspective of job function, there is not much difference between the head chef and the executive chef, both of which are positions in the management of the back kitchen.
But the real power is much worse.
The power of the head chef does not leave the kitchen, only in the back kitchen, and belongs to the middle level in the restaurant, which is equivalent to the department manager.
The executive chef is different, the executive chef is almost equivalent to the vice president of the restaurant, and has the power to manage all aspects of catering.
In addition, Wei Junming's request for this position also means another layer.
If he wants to change jobs in the future, he can go directly to the interview with the executive chef or food and beverage director, because he already has experience in this area, and it will be more convenient to do it again.
Boss Zeng did not agree directly, but thought about the advantages and disadvantages of agreeing.
