Chapter 41: The Arrogant Chef
Facing a large group of people sitting in the room who seemed to be waiting for him to come back, although Xiao Yi didn't know any of them, he understood the other party's intention, in fact, these people were found by him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If a restaurant wants to open in the minds of ordinary people, the most important thing is probably the venue and the chef, and only when these two things are ready can they do 'have food in their hands and do not panic in their hearts', of course, this is for ordinary people, Xiao Yi has not regarded chef recruitment as a top priority because he has master-level cooking skills, and with his skill level, he does not think that the cooking techniques of this world can meet the requirements of food in his mind, and even his heart was originally prepared to be in charge of his own cooking.
But after careful consideration, he overturned this idea by himself, the warehouse area in his hands did exceed his expectations, and the natural transformation means that he can receive more customers, so not having enough people to operate in the back kitchen is definitely a child's play, even if Xiao Yi can rely on the system to cheat, without bothering to rely on proficiency and automatic operation, he can make dishes extremely quickly, but after all, it is too obvious and contrary to common sense that the whole restaurant is only operated by him alone, and no mature businessman will put all his energy on a single business operation, which is a bottom line that can never be surpassedA restaurant is not a street stall, the owner, the waiter, the chef, and the cashier can do it all by themselves.
So Xiao Yi was not as absent-minded as the people around him saw, but kept paying attention to the chef's problems. It just so happened that a few days ago, I heard that the only restaurant under the jurisdiction of the Clover Chamber of Commerce was about to close due to poor management, so I asked Fowler, the procurement manager of the Clover Chamber of Commerce, who I met for the second time in the 'Treasure Pavilion', if he could take over the chef who hired the back kitchen, after all, it was a mature team that had already worked in the restaurant that had opened, and he could directly take over the whole and even copy the division of labor and management, which was very convenient for Xiao Yi, who was now racing against time.
"Good evening, everyone! I'm the owner of this shop, Xiao Yi, I don't know who is the leader among you?"
Xiao Yi was also not polite, and he had to negotiate with the person in charge of the other party straight to the point, because he had learned from Fowler that the back kitchen of the restaurant was a whole team, and it was also the other party's requirement to advance and retreat together, so as long as the person in charge could be dealt with today, the employment relationship would basically be inseparable!
After a moment of eerie silence, a middle-aged man who was fat and a little bowed slowly stood up in the other party, and said:
"I'm Chef Foster Lenning at Clover, and you can talk to me about the details of the hiring. ”
After hearing Xiao Yiyi's frown, the other party's face was not hateful, but the tone sounded so arrogant, like the attitude of those construction craftsmen when the warehouse was just renovated, but they were all well-known top craftsmen in the imperial capital, and they were all 'in-service employees' who were extremely valued by their respective chambers of commerce, where did you say that you are so confident when you are about to lose your job!
"It should be the 'former' chef of the Clover Restaurant, after all, you're probably going to come to my store, aren't you!" Xiao Yi patiently nodded at the other party, but the other party obviously didn't appreciate it:
"I can't say for sure, unless you agree to our terms before you can be our boss!
"It's not accurate, because I don't know the detailed salary list for each of you, but in general I think it's reasonable to increase by one to two percent, and the salary is ...... depending on the business situation after the opening."
"Don't be so troublesome!" Foster rudely interrupted the conversation without waiting for Xiao Yi to finish speaking: "These are my disciples and hired workers, and it is up to me to decide how much salary they get, so you just need to pay me the overall salary, and the entire team that meets my requirements is yours, and no one else will stay." ”
Hearing Foster's words, Xiao Yi understood that this was a chef team with apprentices, with the head chef as the only person in charge of foreign affairs. The salary is determined by the head chef, this form of kitchen recruitment is very simple, and all responsibilities are directly responsible for the head chef, the management is relatively simple for the boss, but at the same time, this is also a very obvious shortcoming and hidden danger, because once the quality of the work of the entire kitchen is not good, there is no room for improvement, basically you can only choose to replace all the people, and the last restaurant where this team is located has just closed down, which is difficult to make people not think about it!
Xiao Yi has enough understanding of this, so he has enough patience for Foster's threatening words, but at the same time, he also understands that there is no progress at all without talking about substantive content in this situation, so he is also very direct:
"How much do you want?"
"20,000 gold coins per month, food and accommodation are all covered by the store!"
"If the cooking is hard enough, I have no problem with this price!" Xiao Yi readily agreed without much consideration, because Fowler had told him the bottom before, and the overall salary expenditure in the back kitchen of the restaurant was about 17,000, and the degree of increase did not exceed the bottom line accepted by Xiao Yi, but after all, he had not really seen the real level of this team, so he left a live word, which is equivalent to telling you clearly that as long as the dishes are good, you can do anything, and if the dishes are bad, don't talk about these useless!
"Hmph, don't worry, in the past, four-leaf clover was often patronized by nobles, and even the duke and marquis praised the dishes, do you think there might be a problem?......
The boasting chef turned to the arrogant style of cherishing the words like gold, and talked endlessly about the meaning of the tea time, in short, it was one meaning over and over again, the meals made by his team before had been praised by many nobles, and it was definitely a piece of cake to deal with this kind of restaurant opened in the slums!
"Oh, by the way, one more thing, I heard Fowler say that the new restaurant should serve according to the new menu, we can't agree to this condition, we have our own very popular menu, and it will definitely be ...... to take it directly."
"I'm sorry, Chef Foster, I can't give in to this condition, the new menu must follow the rules I set, I know it's a little difficult to get started with new dishes in a short time, of course I will teach your people how to make new dishes before opening, and how about I can add five thousand more to the first three months of salary?" Xiao Yi also had his own insistence, so he had to interrupt the other party's words, but he didn't expect it to cause a great reaction from the other party!
"What, you said you ordered the new menu?"
"That's right, I ordered it, because it is very different from the popular dishes in the general imperial capital, so it is ......"
"What are you kidding, do you know how to cook? I'm a master chef, can my subordinates need you to teach me how to cook?"
"This is not negotiable, if Chef Foster really can't accept it, then it's a pity, I can only ask Gao Ming!" Xiao Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with the arrogant idiot in front of him.
"Wait! Arrogant boy, you think your menu is better than ours, right? I Foster can't just let you insult you, if you don't know the weight of the master chef, I'll tell you, if I say a few words in the chef's guild, you won't even want to find an apprentice in this restaurant!"
"And what do you want?"
"Apologize to me quickly, or I'll report your disrespectful attitude towards the senior chef to the guild!"
"If I told you that I'm a chef too, I'm afraid your argument doesn't hold water. Xiao Yi said slowly, because if you are an ordinary businessman, you will not want to offend a professional guild because of a bad attitude, especially a professional guild that is closely related to your business, but if you are a peer, then there is absolutely no insult, just because there is the eternal truth of 'peers are light', even if you really look down on each other, it can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
"Joke, I'm afraid you haven't even been an apprentice at your age! I dare to say that I am the same as my craftsman-level chef Foster! Okay, even if you are a chef, since you have doubts about my level, then come and try to see the real chapter!"
"Does that mean that if I win, you won't pester me anymore!"
"That can't happen, but if I do lose, I'll give you a free year's day job!" said Foster, laughing arrogantly.
"If you lose, get out, and if I lose, I'll hire your team, and pay 50,000 yuan a month. Xiao Yi also said proudly.
"Okay! That's it, boy, I'll teach you a good lesson today, don't think that you have a lot of ability just because you learn a little fur!"
Foster's cruel words were directly ignored by Xiao Yi, it seems that since he came to this world, he has been shouted at like this many times, but the final result is not that he has been taught a lesson!
