Chapter 581 Salary increase for all employees

If you want to solve the problem that no one cares about during the day, the first thing to solve is the word "barbecue", so what Yuan Da has to do is very simple, that is, change the name of the restaurant.

The "Grilled Meat Buffet" plaque that had been hanging at the door was removed by workers and replaced with an elaborate plaque that read "Seafood Buffet".

And according to Yuan Da's meaning, the restaurant was named "Tangdao", so the full name of the restaurant is "Tangdao Seafood Buffet Restaurant", focusing on seafood and Western barbecue, rather than ordinary barbecue before.

In order to raise the level of the restaurant, let him change from an ordinary street barbecue to a "seafood restaurant" that can be on the elegant hall.

For this plaque, Yuan Da took great pains, not only staying in the company that made the plaque for a morning, but also constantly choosing among various schemes.

It is necessary to highlight the theme of seafood, but not to appear to have a feeling of "rural non-mainstream", to be low-key and luxurious, but not to make people feel that they are thousands of miles away, in short, Yuan Da was finally determined after a long time.

Of course, of course, the price of such a plaque will not be cheap, but Yuan Da doesn't care, because this is a plaque, it is a restaurant's face problem, if the plaque is not good, if it is not popular, who would like to come in to eat?

In addition to changing the name of the restaurant and the style of the plaque, the exterior decoration of the restaurant is also being carried out at the same time, and the original transparent glass has been replaced with a single mirror dark glass, which can better protect the privacy of the guests in the store.

On the single-mirror glass, the designer also made a lot of geometric shapes to decorate, which looks really majestic.

As for the interior of the restaurant, it hasn't changed much, at most, a few dining tables have been added, and then the original areas have been redivided and utilized.

It's like changing the original messy arrangement to separate placements on the side of the pick-up table, gathering all the seafood that was previously scattered and Western barbecue together, and highlighting things like steaks.

In addition, a pick-up station for fruit and vegetable salad buffet has been added, and the contents of the original Ming stall have been changed to a place for grilling pizza and making sushi and sashimi.

In this way, guests can see at a glance how the chef works there, and it is convenient for customers to pick up their food, in short, everything changes according to Yuan Da's intention and the needs of the staff in the restaurant.

Even if Yuan Da doesn't know as much as the designers of the decoration company, and the things they design are not more beautiful, but these requirements of Yuan Da are almost all based on his personal experience over the years, which basically represents the needs of the majority of customers.

Let's take the distinction between pick-up counters, which can fully highlight the status of "seafood" and "Western food", which is very important for the positioning of the restaurant.

And that particularly prominent Ming file can also make customers feel that things are the freshest, not things made a long time ago, after all, seeing is believing, only seeing, that is the most important thing.

In addition, Yuan Da also canceled the original tableware facilities on the table, the chopsticks that were originally standard became optional supplies, and the knives and forks that were originally self-service pick-up became necessities.

After all, Yuan Da meant to improve the taste of the restaurant, eating Western food and seafood, how could he be without knives and forks?

If you continue to use chopsticks, it will be the same as asking him to add 93 gasoline even though he is a Porsche.

This is just a small change, in fact, it doesn't cost a penny at all, because these things are originally what the restaurant has, but such a change is very important for the restaurant.

As for similar small changes, Yuan Da thought of a lot, and he understood and factually did it from the customer's point of view.

For example, all the cheap meal paper that originally cost a dollar was replaced with high-end paper printed with the restaurant logo, and all the hand sanitizers in the bathroom were replaced with serious and good brands, among which even the toilet brush in the bathroom was required to be replaced regularly.

Of course, Yuan Da also set a rule, that is, the manager of the restaurant, except for special circumstances, cannot leave the bar at the door of the restaurant, let alone run around with a money bag, and must not go to the back kitchen to be a waiter serving dishes.

And this, in fact, is just to restrain Pan Hongbing, after all, he is a manager, how can there be a manager like him.

A series of decorations and changes in requirements are the result of Yuan Da's painstaking efforts, and some people may not be optimistic about these changes in the restaurant, but it does not mean that Yuan Da and Pan Hongbing are so imaginative.

The new feeling is definitely a new atmosphere, and even Pan Hongbing regretted a little that he couldn't have met Yuan Da earlier, because if Yuan Da had his advice, then he wouldn't have made the restaurant so bad.

The money didn't cost much, and it cost more than 20,000 yuan to decorate it, but even if Pan Hongbing had more than 20,000 yuan, he still couldn't think of this, after all, this is the gap between people.

Just like a lot of people drive, Schumacher is just that.

A week later, according to Yuan Da's plan, the restaurant finally reopened.

There were no lanterns, no ribbon-cutting ceremony, and even ordinary firecrackers were not sounded.

Some just opened the door in the morning and took the red cloth on the plaque, at most, they tore off the piece of paper that Pan Hongbing had written at the door before, "closed for renovation".

The opening is going to be an instant hit, this is what Yuan Da said to Pan Hongbing at that time.

However, judging from the business situation on the first day of opening, the number of people who came to eat at the new restaurant was far less than the previous one, and even at the time of the evening meal, there were not a few tables of customers in the restaurant.

Three days have passed, and although the restaurant has more customers during the day than before, it is still significantly less than before throughout the day.

Originally, there could be thirty or fifty tables of guests a day, and the operating income of a day could still be four or five thousand yuan, but now, the turnover for three consecutive days is only nearly 10,000.

Removing the cost, there is almost no money, if this can also be regarded as a change, Pan Hongbing really hopes not to change.

And more importantly, in addition to the decline in turnover, there are fewer customers, and a large part of this is because the prices are much more expensive than before.

According to Yuan Da's meaning, during the lunch period, the cost of each meal has been increased to 88 yuan, and the dinner is 118 yuan, which is much higher than the previous original price of 98 yuan.

The turnover is about 3,000 a day, which means that the average number of customers received a day is only about 30 people.

That's a lot less than the previous 80 or 90 guests a day, almost less than half.

And this also made Pan Hongbing, who was originally looking forward to it, a little disappointed, after all, he didn't want such a result.

Pan Hongbing was in a hurry, but on the other hand, Yuan Da, he was not in a hurry at all, and instead of being in a hurry, he didn't care about the business situation in the store, but posted a recruitment notice at the door that surprised Pan Hongbing.

Waiter, four days off per month, basic salary 1500, full attendance 200.

Kitchen staff, two days off per month, basic salary of 2500, full attendance 500.

Cashier, four days off per month, base salary 1800, full attendance 300.

……

……

A large, large color spray plate was hung at the door, listing many of the staff positions and salaries required in the restaurant.

Restaurant recruiters, this is understandable, but the key is that Yuan Da's announced price is really too high.

You must know that in places like Suli, the average hotel waiter is 13,400 yuan a month, while the waiter in a cheaper restaurant is only 1,000 yuan.

But now, the prices announced by Yuan Da are basically high salary prices, and just a waiter is three or four hundred yuan higher than the normal level.

A waiter, if he does not count the commission of the business, can get a salary of 1,700 yuan a month, which is almost higher than the salary of the government's grassroots civil servants.

Take Yuan Da's father, Yuan Jianguo, for example, who has participated in the work for so many years, and now he gets a salary of just over 2,000 per month.

Could it be that Yuan Da is having a convulsion? Just want to put it on and have a good time?

Wrong, Pan Hongbing guessed wrong, because at the same time that Yuan Da posted this recruitment notice, Yuan Da increased the wages of the first staff in the restaurant as a whole.

Even the salary of each of them is higher than the salary price posted outside the door, as for the reason, Yuan Da said very simply, that is, because they are not newcomers, their salaries will get higher and higher as they work longer and longer hours.

That waiter Xiaoma, when Pan Hongbing was in charge of the restaurant before, only had a salary of 1,030 yuan a month, but now, the original salary increase, and the bonus for working age, can get 1,900 yuan a month, which is 600 yuan more than the original salary.

As for other people, of course, there has been an increase somewhat, and the first one to bear the brunt is naturally Pan Hongbing, the restaurant manager.

His salary was 2,500 yuan a month according to the level he gave to the previous manager, but Yuan Da directly raised it to 4,000 yuan, almost doubled.

And it wasn't until this time that Pan Hongbing knew that Yuan Da was really not joking.

But for what, why do you want to raise your salary? This made Pan Hongbing even more confused.

The inexplicable salary increase, coupled with the fact that he had said that he would open during the Chinese New Year, made Pan Hongbing very puzzled.

And there is one more thing that Pan Hongbing can't understand, that is, the current restaurant business efficiency is not good, if you just invest in this kind of salary increase, this is almost a bottomless pit.

It's not making money at all, it's really costly, or it's money laundering.

Money laundering? My good dear, Yuan Da shouldn't be laundering money, investing those money from unknown sources, and then turning it into other money and getting it out, this is a reasonable income.

Looking at the empty restaurant with no guests, Pan Hongbing didn't know how to think of many things that were marginal and unfounded.
