Shen Qichang, a 38-year-old native of Sicheng County, Guizhou Province, has been working in the catering industry in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province for 22 years since he was 16 years old.

From helper to stove, Shen Qichang spent 8 years.

From the stove to the head chef, Shen Qichang took 6 years.

After 14 years of hard work, he finally got his wish to become the head chef of the Samsung Hotel, and it stands to reason that Shen Qichang should be satisfied.

But again, a chef who doesn't want to be a boss is not a good chef.

After working as a chef at a Samsung hotel for 5 years, he decided that his management skills and cooking skills were enough for him to set up his own business, so he resolutely quit his job as a well-paid chef three years ago.

Then he went back to his hometown and raised more than 100,000 yuan, and went to Yangcheng to open a restaurant.

As a result, after the opening of the restaurant, business was not as hot as he imagined.

Although I didn't lose money, I worked hard for a month, and I did much more work than I did when I was a chef before, and I didn't earn as much money as I did when I was a head chef.

If the next business is getting better and better, it can also prove that Shen Qichang's choice is correct.

But there is no if in this world, so after more than two years, no matter how hard Shen Qichang tries, the turnover just can't go up.

Moreover, what made Shen Qichang panic was that there were signs of a decline in turnover.

At this point, Shen Qichang, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, finally gave up and transferred the hotel.

In the aftermath, I feel that there are many reasons for my failure, but the main reason, Shen Qichang feels that there are three points:

First, the cost is not well controlled.

Second, there is a problem with the positioning of the hotel.

Third, the competition is too fierce.

Of course, this is his own summary, and the real reason is not these three, and he actually doesn't know very well.

It's just that more than two years of experience have made him understand the most important point, that is, he is only suitable to be a chef, not a boss.

After transferring the hotel, Shen Qichang started his job search again.

However, his job search was not smooth.

Shen Qichang's minimum job requirements are all the head chefs of three-star hotels, but as the saying goes, a radish is a pit, and the head chef of a star-rated hotel does not have a vacancy at all times.

There are many social restaurants that want to ask him to be the head chef, but the scale of those restaurants is not large, either similar to his previous restaurant, or a little bigger, in short, it is not comparable to a star-rated hotel.

If the salary is better, Shen Qichang will still think about it, but unfortunately no one gives a salary of more than four thousand, of course he will not lower his price to be this kind of head chef, isn't it more and more mixed?

In this way, half a year has passed.

Recently, under the introduction of a friend, Shen Qichang, who was a little sitting, contacted the headhunting company and filled in his resume, and the application requirements were no longer limited to star-rated hotels and Yangcheng, but only put forward the only requirement, the salary was not less than 5,000.

Unexpectedly, the efficiency of this headhunting company is quite high, and in just a few days, he was notified of the interview!

......

Inside a social restaurant.

Liu Xiahui looked at the three classic dishes on the table, which seemed to be very tall, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this Shen Qichang is worthy of being the head chef of a three-star hotel for a few years, although he doesn't know how these three famous dishes taste, but at least from the two aspects of color and fragrance, they are already very powerful!

Shen Qichang, who was wearing a chef's costume and a chef's hat, stood next to Liu Xiahui and said with a confident smile: "Boss Liu, how about you taste it!"

"Well, I'll taste it!"

Liu Xia Hui nodded, and took the lead in tasting the eight-treasure winter melon cup with clear and white color, which was tender and fragrant in the mouth, and had an endless aftertaste.

Then taste the baked lobster in soup with beautiful shape and delicious taste.

Finally, the sweet and sour grunt pork is golden in color, crispy and slightly spicy, with a slight sweet and sour taste.

After tasting the three famous dishes, Liu Xiahui gave Shen Qichang a thumbs up and said straight to the point: "Chef Shen, your three signature dishes are really good, if you don't dislike my small temple here, then come to my restaurant as the head chef!"

Shen Qichang was a little happy when he heard this, after all, his application requirements were written there, and since the headhunting company notified him to come for an interview, the salary must be in line with his requirements.

"Boss Liu, it's my honor to work in your hotel!"

The communication between the two was very smooth, one got the technology, the other gave up the money, and naturally hit it off.

Generally speaking, those who can be the head chef have their own team of chefs if they have some ability, from the stove to the cutting and matching, from the top to the roast, from the pastry to the cold dishes, from the lotus to the water table and so on.

The basic chef has his own manpower.

Shen Qichang's ability is not bad, when he was the head chef in a star-rated hotel, he set up his own team of chefs.

It can be said that the reason why he has the courage to open his own restaurant as the boss is that in addition to his confidence in his skills, the chef team he formed also gave him a lot of confidence.

He really brought the whole team out at the time.

Unfortunately, opening a restaurant doesn't just have to get the kitchen right.

However, although Shen Qichang's restaurant was unable to operate in the end, he was a good boss and a good boss, and he never treated his subordinates badly.

He later concluded that his hotel had failed to operate a hotel, and one of them was not controlling the cost, which actually referred to the labor cost.

As the saying goes, as big as the head, you can wear as big a hat, Shen Qichang's hotel grade is far from being comparable with other people's three-star hotels, but the salary he gives his subordinates is on par with other people's three-star hotels, and it is already very good to be able to keep it without losing money.

This is actually not to blame Shen Qichang, after all, those subordinates originally followed him to work in the Samsung Hotel, and he couldn't take a group of subordinates out because he was going out to work alone, but the salary he was given was not as good as before, so where did he still have the face to be this boss?

Now, with the transfer of his hotel, the group of subordinates who followed him have also waited for more than three months, and they also plan to work in the new hotel with Shen Qichang.

It's a pity that Shen Qichang couldn't find a job for a long time, so he could only ask his subordinates to find a job to deal with first, and when he had a new place to go, if the treatment was good, he would bring those subordinates with him.

So, after talking to Liu Xiahui, Shen Qichang told him about it.

This is a good thing for Liu Xiahui, and he naturally agreed.

After all, a mature team, a team that is used to working together, is very big for the improvement of kitchen work efficiency.

Of course, it is not without its drawbacks, that is, the whole team is brought by the head chef, and if the head chef wants to change jobs or have some other ideas, then the whole kitchen has to take a break.

However, Liu Xiahui naturally has preventive means, on the one hand, he is ready to use the contract to bind, and on the other hand, he is to give performance rewards, so there should be no problem with such a two-pronged approach!
