The story of a cook

Chapter 292 Mr. Wang and Mr. Yu's Argument
The renovation of the front of Laohan Villa is nearing completion.

The stage has been renovated and is much larger than before.The private room has also been finished, and the rest is to put the furniture inside.The hall also needs to buy some decorations for decoration, such as curtains, vases, green plants and the like.

Four large wine jars are placed at the entrance of the hall, and an extra-large red drum is placed on it, which is supported by a drum stand, which looks very atmospheric.

There are five large private rooms, namely "Liu Laohan", "Big Pepper", "Yao Xi Zi", "Shan Xing" and "Er Zhu Zi". The names of the private rooms are the same as the names of the characters in the TV series.Mr. Yu requested that the furniture in the five private rooms be made of solid wood, which fits the prototype of the TV series. Mr. Wang thought that the solid wood was too expensive, so he planned to use the existing tables and chairs, and just put a tablecloth on the tabletop.

Mr. Yu said: "Mr. Wang, it doesn't cost much to use solid wood for these five private rooms."

Mr. Wang said: "It doesn't cost much, but why should I buy solid wood when I have ready-made tables, chairs and benches? That would be too wasteful."

Mr. Yu said: "The solid wood ones are more effective than the ones we have now, and the atmosphere is also better."

Mr. Wang said without hesitation: "I have decided to use the tables, chairs and benches of our family now. I will not buy the solid wood ones first, and I will change them later when the benefits are better."

Mr. Yu seemed very angry, and said: "Mr. Wang, think again, I suggest that it is better to use solid wood."

Mr. Wang didn't have any room for negotiation, and said directly: "Don't think about it, my shop has the final say, just use ready-made ones."

Mr. Yu said: "I was sent by the headquarters. The headquarters told me to take good care of our first store. Mr. Zhang came to tell you that day, and you agreed. Now you have not started our real cooperation. If you don’t cooperate so much, what will you do next?”

Mr. Wang looked at Mr. Yu with an angry expression.

"Aren't I going to cooperate? I am a franchise store, I will give you the franchise fee, and I will manage the rest."

I always keep raising my voice.

"The decoration is all done according to your wishes. You don't even have a blueprint, so you just say, what happened today, what happened tomorrow, and if you make a mistake, you have to pick it up and re-arrange it. How much is delayed? It's almost opened, and I listen to you for everything, and now I can't even open the business, so I still listen to you?"

"There's no rush to open the business. Don't we have to fix everything before we can open the business? If the effect won't come out, the business will be useless!" Mr. Yu also raised his tone.

"You really don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, and you don't have money in your pocket for your feelings! What's the rush? It will be more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and if you don't open it again, you plan to ask me to open this restaurant after the next year?"

Mr. Wang shouted at Mr. Yu, his face turned red from excitement, and the big muscles on both sides of his neck jumped.

The two of them were a little on point.

"I don't care when it opens, but if you don't follow my request, you can't open. I'm in charge of this matter, and I have the final say." Yu Zong also refused to budge.

"What's the matter? What do you say? What do you say about my restaurant?" Mr. Wang looked at Mr. Yu coldly, and said in a bad tone: "I haven't heard of this, return my hotel and you said Forget it, tell you Xiaozi, then you are a person if you are a person, and you are nothing if you are not a person. Inquire about me in Sandaizi and see what I do, Wang Guihua, don’t say that you are sent by the villa. Even if Mr. Zhang is here, it won’t work, so stick up as you should.”

Mr. Yu opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything, then turned and left.

This time he left completely. When he left, he went to Mr. Wang's office and called Mr. Wang away. After all, Mr. Yu is the person in charge here.

After Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang left, Mr. Wang went home directly.

In fact, the conflict between the two had existed for a long time, but it didn't explode. Today, there happened to be a fuse, and it broke out directly.

Mr. Yu was sent by the headquarters of the villa to be fully responsible for the affairs here, and he was also following orders to build this first branch well, so as not to lose the chain.At that time, Laohan Villa was immature in catering management and chain franchise management, which was a bit overbearing.I think that the TV series "Liu Laohan" is popular and loved by the general public, so Laohan Villa should also be loved by the people, and I feel that Laohan Villa has a brand effect, which should be good.

Catering and TV dramas are two different things. Catering is food and TV dramas are TV dramas, so they should not be confused.

Laohan Villa should cooperate with franchisees and jointly invest in the establishment of the first chain store.

The franchisee is the main investor, and the villa is the secondary investor. Both sides invest together, and the management is first managed by the villa, which will be better.At that time, the villa felt that its own brand business did not require so much trouble and investment, as long as the franchisee did what it wanted, but the franchisee first thought about his own money, and he did not know what would happen in the future Under the circumstances, it was impossible to invest too much money, and the result was a situation like Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang, who broke up unhappy.

Later, Laohan Villa joined another family in the provincial capital. They approached me, but I didn’t go. I asked Zhao Gang to do it. Something like this also happened here. The headquarters and the franchisee had disagreements on the decoration, which was not very pleasant. , Later, the franchisee was asked to drive away the people from the headquarters.

This happened seventeen or eight years ago. At that time, restaurant chain stores were not very mature. If this situation would not happen now, the current restaurant chain model is too mature and has formed its own system. Taking it into consideration, there are solutions, and there will be no quarrel between the headquarters and the franchisees of the branches.

The market is developing and everything is constantly being improved. This is progress.

Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang left, and Mr. Wang went home angrily. Zhang Li went to the kitchen to look for me.

Zhang Li said: "Mr. Yu left, I think he took the medicine box away, and Mr. Wang also went home."

I said, "That's their business, it has nothing to do with us, we should do whatever we want."

She said: "That's right. I still need four waiters, one bar counter, and two floor managers. Please help me find them."

I asked, "Why are those people still missing?"

"You think that if you put up the sign of Laohan Mountain Villa, someone will apply for it. Now who cares what kind of store you are? You don't come if you want to come to KFC or not."

"That's right." I said, "I'll look for it for you."

She said: "My front desk is full of people now, and I haven't started training yet. They are all doing sanitation. These decorations are not removed, and the sanitation is also difficult. After cleaning up here for a while, they will fix nothing. tidy."

"Not all newly renovated stores are like this, they have to be cleaned up every day."

"I think it would be good to open in half a month like this."

"Almost, you still have a lot of work at the front desk, it will take half a month." I said, "Hurry up and tidy up, if you don't hurry up, you will have to celebrate the New Year."

"Go home for Chinese New Year?" she asked.

As soon as she talked about going home for the New Year, I got upset, but Lin Yan still said that she would not go home with me for the New Year, and had to go to her mother's house for the New Year.

I said, "Go home, I just got married this year, so I have to go home for the New Year."

She asked, "If it opens, can you go back?"

I said: "Yes, I have arranged everything, and I will go back."

"I can't see enough, you can't make a mess when you leave the kitchen," she said.

"It can't be messed up, don't you still have you after I leave." I said to her with a smile.

"Cut! I'm in charge of the front desk and your back kitchen. I don't understand anything else."

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Wang came back and called Zhang Li and me to the office.

Mr. Wang said: "I had a quarrel with Xiaozi in the morning, which made me very angry. You should know that you shouldn't cooperate with them in the first place. It's troublesome."

I said, "There's no reason to be angry. Sooner or later, I have to manage myself."

"It's better for them to go, and this time I can hurry up." Mr. Wang said.

"We have to hurry up, there will be more than one month to celebrate the New Year, and we must open before the Spring Festival." I said, and then asked Mr. Wang: "What is the difference now?"

"Now it's just a matter of some small work in front of me. I need to buy some decorative things, as well as tableware, dining carts, thermoses, and teapots." Mr. Wang said: "I will buy them in two days. List, let's go to Wu'ai to buy together."

Zhang Li said: "Okay, I've finished the list, just let me know when you go to buy."

Mr. Wang asked me: "Master Tan, is there anything we need in the kitchen?"

I said: "There is no shortage, just put in the raw materials and seasonings a few days before the opening."

"Master Tan, please estimate how much we need to buy raw materials and seasonings for our opening? Now I have to calculate the money. I spent too much, and it's not enough."

"Twenty-five thousand, twenty-five thousand is needed." I said.

Mr. Wang said: "Okay, I'll prepare [-] yuan, don't be short of it by then."

Zhang Li asked: "Mr. Wang, shouldn't there be duo performances when our store opens? Who will be responsible for this when Mr. Yu is not around now?"

Mr. Wang said: "It's okay. It was agreed when I signed the contract. The headquarters will be responsible for the first half month of the opening, and the performance will be performed for an hour and a half every day. If they don't send someone, I still have half of the franchise fee. I didn’t give it to them, I won’t pay the franchise fee if they don’t send a two-person transfer during the opening, and I also contacted two assistants, and I can come when the time comes.”

"What about the audio equipment? Who is in charge?" Zhang Li asked.

"They bring it themselves, and those who sing Errenzhuan bring it themselves." Mr. Wang said, "Our family also has it. It's in the warehouse. The whole set is a good stereo. You forgot that I used to run a karaoke hall."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "I forgot about the fact that you opened a karaoke hall before."

Mr. Wang said: "I contacted a few friends. They used to work with me. After I quit the karaoke hall, they all went out to do other things. Some got married, some opened restaurants, and some were young ladies. They know a lot of waiters, and they can introduce some of them tomorrow, and when the time comes, take a look, Manager Zhang, and keep them if they work, isn’t there a shortage of waiters in our family?”

Zhang Li said: "Well, there are still four missing. It would be even better if they could come, and I have to recruit two floor ministers."

"There are also floor managers. Come over tomorrow. I think you will be able to match them when you come. They are all tall, standing at attention, drinking, singing, and chattering. They are a little lacking in management. Take them with you and train them while they are not open." Mr. Wang explain.

"Come and let me have a look. It would be the best if it works." Zhang Li said.

"I don't worry about Chef Tan's kitchen. I've tried all the dishes, and they all taste good. There's Manager Zhang at the front desk. I'm sure. The rest is to hurry up and try to open as soon as possible."

"Well, there is also Mr. Wang, did we buy Wang Laotiao's health wine?" I asked.

"I bought it, and the health wine headquarters must provide it." Mr. Wang said: "Don't worry, as long as we want them, they will give it away, and they still make money from the wine. The profit of the wine is huge, and the hotel relies on the wine to make money."

Wang Lao Tiao's health wine is really good, although I can also adjust health wine, but it is not as good as Wang Lao Tiao.We don't know medicine, we don't fully understand the compatibility of pharmacology, and we don't have enough time in bartending.

In the past two days, Mr. Wang had some exchanges with him, and he felt that he benefited a lot.
