Chapter 106: Cold Welcome
After collecting his thoughts, Bai Xiaobai walked out of the kitchen, opened the roller shutter, and officially started today's business.
It was already half past eight in the morning, and by this time the meal had passed, most people had gone to work, and there were not many people waiting at the door.
After Bai Xiaobai opened the door, he saw the old customer uncle who often cared for him.
When the uncle saw Bai Xiaobai, he smiled and said, "Boss Bai, I'm finally looking forward to you opening the door, if you are a few seconds late, I will leave." ”
The old man who often cares about Xiaobai's restaurant, standing next to the uncle, also echoed, "That's right, little master, you opened the door late today, are you cooking new dishes again?" ”
"Inside please. Bai Xiaobai greeted customers and said, "You guys have a good day today, I made a new stew today." ”
"There's soup to drink, that's good, Boss Bai, I was about to suggest that you make soup, I can't stand it without soup this summer." The uncle licked his dry lips and said.
Several regular customers entered the store one after another, found a place to sit down, and began to order.
"Boss Bai, what kind of soup did you make today? "After the uncle sat down, he was very interested in the new soup.
"Stewed pork ribs with dried scallops with winter melon, 498 per serving. Bai Xiaobai quoted.
After listening to the price, the uncle's eyes straightened.
Knowing that the price of this shop is against the sky, but a soup is nearly a hundred yuan more expensive than the supreme beef noodles, which is embarrassing.
The uncle touched his pocket, the wallet didn't carry so much cash at all, and the WeChat wallet was controlled by his wife, the girl was very ghostly, and she had to check the accounts every night.
The uncle was a little helpless and said, "Boss Bai, can you scoop up a little bit of your new stew and try it! ”
The uncle began to play the emotional card of old customers, hoping to try it.
"I'm sorry, but we don't offer tastings. The uncle's unreasonable request was naturally rejected by Bai Xiaobai's righteous words.
It was really expected not to give a taste, and the uncle did not have an ugly face, but said, "Boss Bai, then bring me a small wonton with fresh meat." ”
"Okay, wait a minute!" Bai Xiaobai silently wrote down his uncle's order.
The rest of the customers, including the old man who often cares about him, and none of them want to be the first to eat crab and try the new winter melon and scallop stewed pork ribs.
After all, the soup that is close to 500 yuan a piece is simply not a staple food, and it fills the stomach at all.
What customers order is completely free.
Bai Xiaobai will never intervene too much, let alone recommend new products like Wang Po selling melons, which is too low-spirited.
Anyway, this time, the task of gathering sand into a tower is not directly related to the sales of the new stew.
After all the customers finished ordering according to their wishes, Bai Xiaobai entered the glass kitchen and began to get busy.
The uncle didn't play with his phone as usual, and he noticed that Xiaobai Restaurant had two more strange devices.
One is installed on the glass side of a glass kitchen and the other on the wall next to the roller shutter.
"What kind of equipment is this, it looks very high-end. The uncle said, walked into the equipment, and looked at it carefully.
The rest of the customers also liked to see the freshness, and they flocked to the new equipment and looked at it again and again.
"I don't understand, it's not high-tech, right?"
"There are words on it, or bilingual in Chinese and English, this one is a credit card payment machine, and that one is a ...... Recharge inquiry machine. A customer read out the Chinese script on two devices.
"It looks a bit like a cafeteria credit card charging system! I have this thing in my school, but it doesn't seem to be the same. ”
"Boss Bai, install the equipment for swiping and recharging, it is difficult to launch a membership card!" a rather shrewd customer immediately responded.
"It's not a membership card, I asked Boss Bai before, and he always said vaguely, saying that there will be a follow-up, but not now. ”
The conversation of customers outside, Bai Xiaobai heard it clearly in the glass kitchen.
"The system, the two devices associated with the food card will not be black technology, it will be bad if people see the flaws. Bai Xiaobai asked the system worriedly.
After all, if there is a high-end technology in your restaurant that is not available in the world, it will definitely attract attention and arouse suspicion.
[Hosts don't need to worry.] The cases of the two devices are made of existing American high-tech, and they look like ordinary card swiping and recharging devices. As for the black technology chip hidden inside, it belongs to the ether substance, and at present, no one in the world can snoop on any of the latest high-tech equipment and detect its existence. 】
Damn! The system is too good!
Aether is a substance conceived by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, and many modern scientists speculate, deny and demonstrate aether, but there is no substantial progress.
After listening to the electronic sound of the system, Bai Xiaobai put his heart in his stomach and concentrated on cooking food.
King Spirit Mine Lang ......
Cooking food is Bai Xiaobai's most exciting moment, watching a piece of exquisite food born from his hands, an indescribable sense of pride arises spontaneously.
With a large tray, Bai Xiaobai walked out of the kitchen, sat the food in the right seats, and distributed it to all customers.
"Boss Bai, are you going to launch a food membership card in your store?" asked a customer who opened the chatterbox.
"Yes, the store officially launched a food card today, which is equivalent to a membership card. Bai Xiaobai gave a general idea of the process of handling a food card, and also talked about it by the way.
For example, the identity verification system is required to apply for a card, the first charge is 500RMB, the card is non-refundable and bearer, and the loss is at your own risk, and you can't choose the card number...... Anyway, it's all the rules of the pit guys.
"Boss Bai, I understand the requirements for applying for a card, but what are the benefits of handling your gourmet card, can you use points to discount, or do you have a small gift?" the uncle asked, he was more concerned about the substantive benefits than the regulations.
"Points are useful, but they can't be used at the moment. Bai Xiaobai went straight to the end and said directly.
Under normal circumstances, restaurants and hotels will plan their point-related activities in advance before launching their membership cards.
Now the system is good, not only is it lazy, but it can't even tell you the benefits of points in advance, but it will only be unlocked in the future......
Bai Xiaobai Rao has a three-inch incorruptible tongue, and now he can't explain it clearly to customers.
After listening to Bai Xiaobai's words, all the customers present were in an uproar.
Their common reaction is that this food card is too pitiful!
Generally, the VIP card is for customer service, and the relevant points discount regulations and gifts are clearly stipulated.
The food card of Xiaobai restaurant is good, at least for now, the rules are a lot, and the benefits are not at all.
After customers learn about the food card, most of them lower their heads and taste the food silently, without the intention of handling it.
The only exception is that the uncle is very interested in food cards.
"Boss Bai, I will do a food card, but the ID card is at home, I didn't bring it out, and I will do it tomorrow. The uncle said while eating the small wontons with fresh meat.
Although I don't know if the uncle's words are sincere or comforting, Bai Xiaobai is very comfortable to listen to.
This morning, customers walked and ushered in batches.
The number of customers has not decreased compared to usual, but Bai Xiaobai has experienced an unprecedented cold reception.
In the morning, none of the new winter melon and scallop stewed pork ribs were sold. Because it's not a staple food that can't be eaten, and it's close to five hundred, no one wants to be the first to eat crabs for the time being.
Coincidentally, none of the customers were willing to apply for a food card in the morning.
Customers think and say more or less the same thing. Because there is no substantial benefit to running a food card, I might as well not do it, you have to rush five hundred on this card, and you can't return it, and you have to verify your real name and reveal your identity information.
In the face of many customers' doubts, Bai Xiaobai will not be discouraged, let alone give up.
I want to be the first Supreme Tea Egg and the Novice Quest. What suffering, what cynicism I haven't suffered, compared to those, these are not things now.
The cold reception is temporary, and gold always shines.
Whether it's stewed pork ribs with winter melon and scallops, or a gourmet card, I want to make them shine brightly, Bai Xiaobai silently made up his mind in his heart.
It's lunchtime.
The weather was exceptionally hot, and there was a lot of pomp and circumstance at the entrance of the small white restaurant as usual.
Three tall figures walked to the back of the line.
It was the trio of Lan Weihao, Little Dragon, and Curly.
Xiao Feilong looked sullen, looking at the old team, he couldn't help but complain to Lan Weihao beside him, "I said Lao Lan, which store is not good for food, you chose this one?"
