For office workers, life is a seven-day cycle that repeats itself, and it seems that every week is the same, but in fact changes are happening all the time. It's just that some of these changes are bright, some are dark, some are big, some are small.

Time entered the new week, when the staff of Haitian Science and Trade went to the company to check in in the morning, they saw an announcement posted next to the attendance machine: "The company's restaurant is officially put into use today, everyone is welcome to eat." ”

When Lin Ruoxi first joined the company, he decided to build an in-house restaurant, and the selected location was on the 23rd floor, and it has been almost 20 days since the renovation, which everyone knows, so it is not very new. At the same time, this is not a big deal, it doesn't matter how much of everyone's salary or position rises, so it naturally doesn't attract too much attention.

After seeing this announcement, the vast majority of people only left this impression: the company's canteen is ready, and they can go there to eat at noon. That's all.

It's no wonder that everyone's response is flat. Whether it is an enterprise, a business, an institution, or a school, the quality of the food in this collective canteen is really flattering, even if it is contracted, at most it can reach the level of cleanliness and hygiene. Of course, the small stove of the leader is an exception, but this is the privilege of a small number of people and has nothing to do with the broad masses.

Except for a few salesmen with poor performance in the company, most of them have low incomes, and petty bourgeoisie is troubled, so they naturally have higher requirements for the quality of life. The food in the restaurant on the third floor is not unpalatable, and the company also gives out free meal coupons, which is why they still don't patronize much.

However, on the first day of the company's restaurant, it was built in accordance with the general manager's intentions, and it was necessary to go to the show. So as soon as the lunch break came, everyone went in pairs.

After entering the door, everyone was stunned to find that the environment of the restaurant was very different from what they expected - not too bad, but too good. With the smooth floors, gorgeous tables and chairs, exquisite wall decorations, and melodious music echoing in the restaurant, at first glance I thought I had entered a high-end tea restaurant.

Originally, everyone thought that opening a canteen was nothing more than setting up some tables and chairs to build a stove, and then inviting a few chefs to cook rice, but it took nearly a month to prepare, and the efficiency was too low. At this time, I can't help but think, this efficiency is not low, and the investment is not cheap!

Many people have done renovation at home, and they have some understanding of the construction period and cost. The restaurant is decorated like this, the speed is quite amazing, and there is no smell of decoration materials, which shows that the materials are excellent.

In fact, there are shortcomings. After all, it is in an office building, and the space of the restaurant is slightly cramped due to the constraints of the site conditions, but the clear height of nearly three meters does not make people feel oppressive, and the overall color is bright, and the outside side is full of wide glass windows, and the bustling street scene is in full view, which will completely make people ignore this flaw.

Because everyone's psychological expectations were not high before, they were very surprised at this time, and they had more expectations for lunch.

The results did not disappoint either. On the long counter outside the kitchen, there is a wide variety of dishes, including both Eastern and Western dishes, which makes people feel appetizing. And things like ramen and steak, which are not suitable for a long time out of the pot, are made to order. In addition, the kitchen also provides a menu where everything can be ordered, and everyone can enjoy the small stove service as long as they are willing to wait.

Everything is free, with only one requirement, and that is not to be wasted. In addition, there are no waiters here, everything is done by yourself, and after eating, you have to put the used utensils in the recycling area.

Not to mention that everyone's expectations are not high, in the face of this situation, it is difficult for even the most critical people to express any dissatisfaction. Perhaps the only worry is that I am afraid that these foods will not be useful.

Most people choose to pick up those ready-made dishes, and a few who like pasta and steak choose to order a la carte, and the small stove service is not patronized for the time being.

After all, this is a free lunch provided by the company, and all the people who come in to eat are colleagues, who are too picky for fear that they will leave a bad impression, and they will be regarded as foodies or trivial matters. And those who are leaders don't want to engage in this specialization, which is unnecessary and damaging to character, so it's better to follow the crowd.

It is said that the environment can affect people, and this is not false at all. With such an elegant dining environment, it would be too noisy to become like a vegetable market. In front of acquaintances, everyone will pay more attention to their own behavior and don't want to behave uncultivated. It is a low voice of everyone who is conscious, and although there are many people in the restaurant, there is no too high noise.

After tasting the chef's craftsmanship, everyone's last doubts were dispelled. Many people think that eating is called at the restaurant on the third floor, and it is called eating here. The former is just to fill the stomach, but the latter is a pleasure.

"I didn't expect the company's restaurant to be so good, much better than the headquarters. ”

Lu Xiaorong took a bite of steak and said with some admiration. For Haitian Electronics, she is still used to calling it headquarters.

"Is the food over there bad?"

Mo Fan, like her, eats steak. He knew that Lu Xiaorong was a carnivore, so he ordered her favorite meals. If it weren't for his insistence, Lu Xiaorong would still be a little embarrassed. I really don't know if she works hard for the company all day long, what else is polite to have a meal.

The two of them came relatively early, and they were the first to order the steak, and they took the lead, and some people followed suit.

Lu Xiaorong said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's just not so high-grade." You said that Mr. Lin would spend a lot of money doing this, right?"

Mo Fan said: "I don't know the initial investment in this restaurant. I only know that the budget for the first month is 200,000, which does not include the salary of restaurant staff, and it will not be lower than this level in the future. ”

In the past, the company gave everyone meal coupons, and the standard per person per day was 15 yuan, and the company's food expenses were only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a month, but now it has nearly tripled. And in the previous 15 yuan, there was still the profit of the restaurant on the third floor, not to mention one-third of it. Now the company's restaurant is non-profit, and 200,000 yuan will basically be eaten by everyone. It's like the difference between eating out and making it at home, so the level of food is not half a star.

Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lin is really willing." If the headquarters does the same, it will not cost four or five million a month. ”

Mo Fan said: "Haitian Electronics can still afford this money." But there are a lot of people over there, and many things have become traditions, and it is not so easy to change. ”

Lu Xiaorong said thoughtfully: "Listen to what you mean, Mr. Lin's intention to build this restaurant is not simple." ”

Lin Ruoxi set up this in-house restaurant in order to provide a better eating and dining environment for the company's employees, so as to enhance everyone's sense of identity with the company. In addition, the restaurant can also have a certain social role, which can increase the opportunities for everyone to communicate after work, make the internal personnel more closely connected, and help to enhance the cohesion of the enterprise.

At the end of the day, it's ultimately for the company's benefit. It is also a matter of course, starting a company is not a charity, profit is the fundamental purpose, but also the only purpose, and any behavior of the enterprise is to serve this purpose.

From this point of view, the restaurant's investment standard is obviously a bit excessive, which can be seen from everyone's reaction. I believe that cutting the budget to two-thirds, or even half, will still be satisfying. If you double the investment, everyone's satisfaction will not be doubled, which is the law of diminishing marginal effect in economics.

Although for Haitian Science and Trade, the cost of more than 180,000 yuan a month is not a matter at all. But this is not about inviting friends to dinner, and there is no need to talk about any pomp. To run an enterprise, we should take into account the relationship between each expenditure and income, which has nothing to do with being stingy or not, and reflects the professionalism of managers.

To put it in a popular phrase, it's unscientific.

Lin Ruoxi's performance during this period of time has fully proved that she is an excellent professional manager. So there should be another deep meaning behind her move.

Mo Fan saw Lu Xiaorong staring at the steak on the plate and pondering, so he was a little dissatisfied, and said, "What about eating, what are you thinking about, beware of indigestion." ”

Lu Xiaorong smiled and said, "Think about what is the mystery here." Mr. Mo, is it convenient to reveal?"

She knew the same thing, Mo Fan could often analyze it from a higher angle, and she would see more content. Although she is also learning to analyze problems in this way, because her personal accumulation is not enough, she is still not ready. And to confirm it to Mo Fan is a good opportunity to learn, and the two often have such exchanges.

In addition, Mo Fan has been Lin Ruoxi's assistant for a while, and almost all the big and small affairs of the company will be contacted. For Lin Ruoxi's business philosophy, he is probably the most familiar in the whole company.

At the company's regular meeting this morning, Lin Ruoxi announced that when she was not in the company in the future, Mo Fan would act as her sole agent. Although it was not said that Mo Fan was given the title of deputy general manager, the power granted was real.

Because of this, Lu Xiaorong was worried that there were some things that Mo Fan would not be able to say, so what she said just now was not a joke, and when it came to the company's affairs, she naturally had to keep her duty.
