Out of the Chinese restaurant, I came to the Western restaurant again. The business area here is much smaller, and it is an authentic Western restaurant.
The rooms in the restaurant are very high, and it gives a very atmospheric feeling when you come in. At the entrance is a waiting area, where many tourists are waiting quietly for small pastries.
This time, I saw a lot of familiar faces, all of them were the waiters in the original restaurant. Now they are finally back in the right position, and they originally received an education in Western food.
"Boss, are you going to eat in our dining room today? I can go and ask Mr. Kroenke and Alex if I can share a table with them. The hall manager came to Liu Heming's side and said with a smile.
"Forget it, I'll go home and cook for my daughter-in-law in a while. Liu Heming waved his hand.
"What's the situation today, is there a lot of pressure in the kitchen, are the customers satisfied with the dishes and the dining environment, and are there any difficulties that you need to solve in the operation?"
"Thank you boss for your concern, now we are able to cope with it. Chef Marion and the newly selected sous chef worked hard. Every dish is currently cooked by Chef Marion. The hall manager said with a smile.
"But it's not that the problem is not without it, it's in wine. Even Chef Marion has contacted some friends, but we still have a big gap in terms of wine stock compared to other big restaurants. ”
"At present, the stock of well-known wineries in our restaurant with a price of more than $100 is very small, less than 1,000 bottles. It will be able to last for about three months, and I still need to continue to practice new dealers. ”
"Can't we buy it with more money?" asked Liu Heming with a frown.
"Now a lot of these are bought at a higher price, and there is less stock of good wines. And our restaurant has always been required by the standard of three Michelin stars, so it is not so easy to find. The hall manager said.
"Moreover, our restaurant lacks a town store wine of the level of the King of Wine. Maybe in the future, the customer level is higher, and they will be very picky. ”
"Hey, I'll figure it out. Let's go back and see if Kroenke can help with some of them, or go to the auction house to auction some of them. Liu Heming said with a headache.
This is a big problem in my own restaurant, which was not very prominent before, but now it is put on the table all of a sudden. With just low-to-mid wines, this restaurant is no longer satisfied.
"Wow, Dad, ...... quickly" At this time, Alex also saw a few of them, and then began to summon. It's just that the little guy also remembered that this was not at home, and he covered his little mouth tightly.
"Alright, you guys eat slowly here. Kroenke, help me get some good wine to fill the restaurant. I trust you so much that I'll take care of you. Liu Heming slipped to the table of Kroenke and Alex and said.
After saying that, he didn't give Kroenke time to react, grinned a little, and then turned away.
Kroenke was very depressed, he originally brought Alex here to hide and relax, and he also wanted to try Marion's current craftsmanship, who would have thought that Liu Heming would also throw himself a task.
After looking at his two restaurants, Liu Heming slipped to the Korean restaurant again.
The Korean restaurant also brought him a little surprise, not like the Korean restaurants he used to go to, all of them sat upright in the hall, but all of them were private rooms.
The influence of Korean food is still smaller, and there are only three customers queuing at the door. I don't know if there were too many people in line at the rest of the restaurants, so I squeezed here.
The way this restaurant is run is different from other Korean restaurants.
According to the manager here, it is also operated to create the most high-end Korean food. Both the ingredients and the dishes are very exquisite.
And the waiters in this restaurant are all dressed in hanbok. It is estimated that they are all carefully selected, and they look very beautiful. As for whether it is artificial or natural, this Liu Heming has no way to judge.
However, for their dishes, Liu Heming felt that there were some characteristics missing.
As you can see from the pictures, many of their dishes are still biased towards Western and Chinese food. But if you think about it, you can understand that the troop pot and barbecue, fried chicken, and kimchi are their characteristics. But that one is suitable for mass consumption and can make money, but it is difficult to rate stars.
After all, in order to cater to the taste of the public, it is necessary to make appropriate changes on the basis of maintaining the fundamentals. Isn't there a lot of changes in my own Chinese restaurant?
I simply came out, so I might as well turn around the remaining two stores.
When I came to the kaiseki restaurant, it was a terrible place. I don't know if kaiseki cuisine is too famous or if the chef here is famous, and there are more people queuing up here.
This incident surprised Liu Heming, because his Chinese restaurant and Marion's Western restaurant are not badly famous, and they can't be compared.
"Boss, their shop only has twenty private rooms, which means that it can only accept twenty tables of guests. Seeing the depression in Liu Heming's eyes, Lan Duoqian said with a smile.
"In this way, I can still feel more or less comfortable in my heart, otherwise I would think that we really can't do it. Liu Heming nodded.
However, he is still a little depressed in his heart, and in the matter of rushing to the stars, Western restaurants and kaiseki cuisine are more impactful.
My own Chinese restaurant and Korean restaurant are somewhat inferior in this regard, after all, they are all congenital gene deficiencies. Whether you can really rush to the three stars depends on strength and luck.
The last restaurant is Haya's Arabic restaurant, which is decorated in an Arabic style from the outside.
The four restaurants in front are atmospheric, elegant, simple and simple, but this restaurant in Haya, as soon as you come in, there will be a kind of "extravagance" in your face.
Everywhere you look, as long as you can use gold, people will never play with the gilded series for you, it is pure gold. The large string of chandeliers on the top of the hall, Liu Heming estimated that it should be no problem to buy a few suites in the imperial capital of China.
There are not only crystals on the top, but also a lot of diamonds, which will make the whole lamp shine even more.
Of the five restaurants, Haya is the only one that has no waiting customers at the door. There aren't many diners in the restaurant either, and nearly a quarter of the tables are empty.
"Dexter, my restaurant is good, right?" Haya asked happily as she ran up to Liu Heming.
"Yes, yes, it's just that if you make it so splendid, I'm afraid you'll scare customers. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, when more customers come in the future, they will know that my dishes are not very expensive at all. Haya said indifferently.
"I don't expect this restaurant to make money anyway, and I'm satisfied if I can make up a little less every month. Would you like to be a guest at my restaurant today?"
"Okay, then eat at your restaurant today, free of charge. Liu Heming said seriously.
"OK!" Haya nodded excitedly, and then ordered the waiter next to him to go down.
Liu Heming is also a little helpless, don't look at himself not to give money, but Haya is happy. People really don't worry about profits and losses, they just look at whether they are happy or not.
The dishes were served quickly, the same ones we had last time I was a guest in Qatar. After all, even Haya's home-cooked meals are of the highest standard.
Haya was really happy that Liu Heming came to the store as a guest, and personally helped serve two dishes up. It seems that she is also very satisfied with her identity as a small boss.
"Have you ever estimated how much money your store will lose every month?" asked Liu Heming curiously after eating for a while.
"If we can achieve today's attendance, I will probably lose more than $20,000 a month. Haya thought for a moment and said.
"However, our dishes will be adjusted as appropriate, after all, I have no experience in running a restaurant, so everything needs to be explored. If I can make the restaurant break even, I'm satisfied. ”
Liu Heming has a share, and we really don't understand the feeling of the rich world. This is just to break even, if you want to make money from the renovation cost of this store, it is estimated that it will take decades to operate.
"How's business today?" Haya asked curiously.
"It's all very good, each store has its own characteristics, and it can meet the needs of many people. During the first few months of the food island's business, customers should take turns tasting it. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"But after a few months, you may accumulate a lot of loyal customers. At that time, the competition began, and the fees were very high, depending on whose food could cater to more people's tastes. ”
"Of course, you'll have to do the extra math here. Because your purpose in running this restaurant is not the same as ours, or even completely contrary to ours. ”
"Haha, then I'm relieved. In this way, my shop is the most special restaurant in the ranch. Haya said happily.
"It's not just special now, it's going to be special in the future. Liu Heming shook his head and said helplessly.
People are really powerful, no matter what aspect you are, as long as you don't look at profits, people are special. He had a hunch that maybe Haya would be crooked like this. A restaurant that doesn't aim to make money may actually make money in the future.
By the end of the meal, there are now more tourists on the food island. In fact, even when I was just dining, Haya's restaurant was full one after another.
The number of tourists is large, and the restaurant has just opened, so many people are really interested. Anyway, I don't eat it every day, but it's also a very good thing to eat one or two meals once in a while and taste the characteristics of different countries.
Not to mention that there are five special flavors here at one time, which can be regarded as a small success from the current situation. Whether it can become a well-known scenic spot in the ranch depends on the future operation.
