Chapter 236: Observation
"What do you want to eat?"
The waiter, dressed in a red and yellow uniform, smiled and asked Evan what he wanted.
"What are they, can you tell us a little bit about them?" said Evan was here for the first time.
"Of course!" the waiter pointed to the menu posted on the counter: "As you can see, McDonald's is a fast food restaurant that only serves food that can be served quickly, with burgers as the main food, accompanied by snacks such as french fries and, of course, soda drinks." ”
"Hamburg has the following ......"
"If you don't know what to choose, I recommend you try the package......"
The waiter was extremely patient and didn't rush because Evan might slow down the order. Of course, this is also because it is only half of the morning, not the time for dining, and there are not many customers in the restaurant, so the waiter can calmly answer customers' questions.
"In that case, give me a package, well, let's go for package B. Evan pulled a bill out of his pocket.
"Do you want to take it out, or do you want to eat it at our store?"
"Eat in the store. ”
"Okay, a B package. The waiter took the bill with both hands, gave change and said, "Wait a minute, it'll be right away." ”
Less than a minute later, Evan's set meal was delivered from the back kitchen to the front desk and then to him. Evan pretended to be surprised and said, "That's fast!"
The waiter smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, and I wish you a pleasant meal." ”
Evan took the tray and found Bob and sat down across from him.
"Bob, how does it taste?" Evan asked as he poured the ketchup onto the fries and ate them, Bob was empty-handed, the burger he had just bought at the car window had already been eaten by him.
Bob looked at the burger in Evan's tray and replied, "Okay." ”
Evan noticed his gaze and pushed the tray over, "Can you still eat it?" ”
Evan is just here to experience the service, not hungry, Bob doesn't eat, and the burger will be wasted.
Bob was not polite, grabbed the burger, and took a big bite without the packaging. Evan pushed the fries into his mouth one by one, while constantly looking around.
Evan sat for more than ten minutes, and the fries and burgers had already been cleaned up, but he had no intention of leaving. During this time, Evan saw that the store received about seven or eight customers, most of whom came in to try the new ones. Some people eat directly at the store like Evan, and some people take out. Evan observed that these customers seemed to be okay with McDonald's restaurants that have no utensils, short wait times, and eat on their go, which are completely different from other places.
"In this way, although the expansion time is a little earlier, the people are still these people, and the trend of this service being accepted and gradually becoming popular will not change. ”
However, an important reason why fast food restaurants have become popular since the 50s is because of the rapid increase in car ownership in the United States and the improvement of the interstate highway system, which are not yet perfect, which will greatly limit the choice of fast food restaurant locations. ”
"But it doesn't matter, in the past few years, we will first choose a site in a big city, so that the construction of the logistics system will be simpler. It's time for brand building to be key. ”
After straightening out McDonald's development ideas, Evan wiped his hands with a napkin and prepared to get up and leave.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked into the restaurant with a group of four young men and women wearing McDonald's uniforms.
The waiter at the front desk saw the middle-aged man and greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Morris." ”
Then he looked at the four behind Morris, "Are these the interns from this batch?"
The waiter called Morris is the elder brother of the McDonald's brothers, and in McDonald's Corporation, he is the deputy general manager in charge of staff training and new store inspections, and is currently one of the giants of McDonald's Corporation. His younger brother Richard was in charge of the kitchen system and new product development, while Evan assigned the former Charlie Bell to be in charge of administration and finance.
The Santa Monica store was the starting point for McDonald's to officially begin its expansion, and its importance is self-evident, which is why Morris personally brought the interns.
Evan watched from afar as Morris was giving a pre-job lecture to the interns standing in a row, not ready to show up, but quietly walking towards the door.
Morris, who was lecturing, inadvertently saw their backs, and always felt that one of them was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Evan and Bob come to the car parking lot and find the car.
"I'll drive it when I go back. Evan, who suddenly wanted to drive, walked to the side of the driver's seat, and Bob, of course, had no opinion, took out the car keys and threw them to Evan.
Evan received the keys, opened the door and got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and then plugged in the keys, and when Bob, who was in the passenger seat, was also safe, he twisted the keys, and the engine started, and the car made a slight vibration, and the noise could not be ignored.
With his hands on the steering wheel, Evan carefully observed the front and left and right sides, and after making sure that no one was in the car, he slowly drove the car out of the parking space.
When the car moved less than half a position, Evan suddenly slammed on the brakes, and at the same time, a Ford Super De Luxe sedan of the same model as Evan's car came to a sudden stop less than a meter in front of him.
The two sides almost collided.
Evan leaned out of the car window and looked at the other party, and was about to teach him a lesson, but the words that had already reached his lips were swallowed back by him.
I saw two disgraced ladies sitting in the front row of the Ford, and the faces of Evan were very familiar.
Evan sighed, reversed his car back into the parking space, unbuckled his seatbelt, stepped out of the car, and walked towards the Ford, which had not moved.
The two people in the car had come to their senses, but they were still sitting in place for some reason. When they saw Evan come to their car, sitting in the passenger seat, the pale-faced lady smiled and reluctantly took the lead in greeting, "Hi Evan, what a coincidence to see you here." ”
Evan replied with a dark face, "Good morning, Miss Elizabeth. ”
"I don't like this coincidence at all. ”
Then he looked at the female driver, "Don't you say something?" Linda, or is that how you said hello just now?" ”
Linda and Elizabeth glanced at each other, then silently lowered their heads: "I'm sorry, Evan, it's my driving skills that aren't up to par." ”
When Evan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and his anger became even greater, "You still dare to go on the road if your skills are not good?"
"Forget it, you park the car first, let's find a place to talk. ”
Evan's words smacked of command, but Linda and Elizabeth had to do it.
A few minutes later, somewhere in a McDonald's restaurant.
Linda and Elizabeth sat across from Evan very well-behaved, and were reprimanded by him.
This time, Morris didn't miss it, and after giving the boss and the two girls a hot drink, he stood aside curiously and watched.
