Chapter 219 Preparing for Opening

Bai Zirui said to the two little girls who came to help: "It's been hard work for you two ladies today, let's go to the office and have a brief chat first, please forgive me for the mess here."

Bai Zirui and the others took the two little girls to a small office, where the secret recipes were arranged. He took out the resumes of the two little girls and looked at them. They were applying for the positions of cashier and waiter.

Bai Zirui said: "Let me first briefly introduce the situation of our restaurant. My name is Bai Zirui. These two are my eldest brother He Yuzhu and his fiancee Xu Jingli. Our restaurant is located in the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Times Square, Causeway Bay. Fast food such as burgers and fried chicken.

It will take about ten days for the store to be renovated. We will start trial operation at that time. You also know that there are many foreigners coming to Causeway Bay. We want to receive foreigners, so the cashiers and waiters need to be able to speak simple English.

Welfare benefits mainly include basic salary, bonuses and commissions. Bonuses include full attendance awards and outstanding employee awards, and year-end bonuses at the end of the year.If you are willing to help, it means that you can accept this job, so let's make a brief self-introduction first! . "

One of the round-faced girls said respectfully: "Bai Sheng, hello! I'm Wang Jinqiu, and I used to work as a cashier in Sogo Department Store."

Another girl with an oval face said, "Bai Sheng, hello! I'm Wen Lifen. We used to be colleagues. I worked as a tally clerk in Sogo Department Store."

Bai Zirui nodded and said, "Very good! If the two of you are willing to accept this job, you can start working today, and get familiar with the work process first. If there are former colleagues who want to change jobs, you can invite them to our restaurant."

Bai Zirui is quite satisfied with the two of them. They worked in a department store before and had contact with foreigners, which means that they have a good command of English. After a few days of practice, they became familiar with them. Now they mainly need to build up the team in the store.

Wang Jinqiu said: "Bai Sheng, let's start working first, it's quite busy here."

Compared with their attitudes, Bai Zirui was more satisfied. The staff in the service industry were more enthusiastic. He drew a pie for them and said, "Yes, learn more about all the work processes. As long as you have outstanding abilities, you can be the ones when we open a new store in the future." Manager store manager."

Lou Xiao'e and Yang Xue also came here to help, and He Yuzhu cooked two Sichuan dishes at noon, easily conquering the taste buds of the two beautiful new girls.

It took Bai Zirui and He Yuzhu three days to use all the equipment proficiently, and the proportion of ingredients was successfully adjusted. The various burgers and fried chicken they made were well received by everyone after they tasted them.

A week passed, Bai Zirui interviewed nearly 200 people, and 70 staff were recruited. He gave Liu Qiuli 700 yuan and established a long-term cooperative relationship with her.

Bai Zirui looked at the 7 people neatly lined up in seven rows, and he said confidently: "Dear colleagues, the English name of our restaurant is Feast, and the Chinese name is Xing Feisite.

The business hours of our restaurant are from [-] am to [-] pm, and you are divided into two shifts.The restaurant serves breakfast from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. The Chinese style offers beef porridge with eggs, lean meat porridge with preserved eggs, and chicken porridge with mushrooms served with sun-dried eggs or deep-fried dough sticks.

Western food offers cheese bacon egg pani, cheese chicken pani, cheese pork tenderloin egg pani, cheese pork tenderloin pani, hamburger with coffee.

Lunch time is from [-]:[-] noon to [-]:[-] pm. Spicy/Crispy Chicken Burger, Orleans Baked Chicken Burger, Big Mac, Cheese Bacon Burger, Double Crispy Chicken Burger with Coke and French fries are available.

Afternoon tea offers some snacks, Orleans grilled wings, spicy chicken wings, crispy chicken popcorn, French fries, golden chicken nuggets, chicken chops, crispy potato cakes, Portuguese egg tarts.

Dinner is from six o'clock to ten o'clock, and the types of meals are the same as lunch.

All our raw materials are processed into semi-finished products in the central kitchen and frozen. In the store, they only need to be fried or heated in the oven. The porridge is cooked by the chef in the store. "

In the restaurant, guests pick up their meals by themselves, and put them in the plate recycling place consciously after meals. Our cashiers and waiters need to be able to speak English frequently. "

Bai Zirui explained the working process of the restaurant, and distributed a pamphlet to everyone. He was relieved when he finally finished explaining the precautions at work.

Bai Zirui then explained to the kitchen staff the various workflows of making hamburgers. Fortunately, everyone has some background in cooking, which relieved him a lot.

Semi-automatic operation requires attention to time, oil temperature, sterilization, refrigeration and other processes. It is relatively easy. As for the formula of spices, Bai Zirui told He Yuzhu to make everything into powder, just stir according to the weight.Xu Jingli went to the wholesale market to purchase the raw materials she needed, and there were not many types, so she bought them once and let the merchants deliver them to her door.

At the end of September, the decoration of the restaurant was finally completed. The modern and minimalist decoration made the restaurant look clean and comfortable.The menu is well done, the photos are pretty good, and includes all the dishes and packages.

The signboard of the restaurant is also hung up, with a trademark logo on it, which is a cartoon character of Venus holding a knife and fork, above the character are two cups, under the character is Feast in English, and under the logo is written a sentence "Dream meets the most beautiful you".

Chinese porridge for breakfast costs 5 cents and sells for 2 yuan; Western-style hamburger plus coffee costs 1.5 yuan and sells for 6 yuan; lunch hamburger, cola, and fries cost about 3 yuan and sells for 6 to 12 yuan; afternoon tea is 5 yuan To 10 yuan, the price of snacks is three times the cost; the price of dinner is the same as that of lunch.

Bai Zirui looked at the menu and felt a little confused. If he spent all three meals a day at Fist, it would cost at least 50 yuan, which is less than half a day's wages for the lowest-level staff. At least a person with a monthly salary of 3000 would be willing to eat it!
The cost of buying shops, kitchen rent, water and electricity property labor and other expenses is as high as 2000 yuan a day. At present, it costs more than 50 Hong Kong dollars. If the number of people dining in a day is less than 500, they will lose money.

Causeway Bay is a well-known bustling area in Hong Kong. So many foreigners and white-collar workers can eat 5 or 60 yuan a day, which is nothing to them. , he intends to take the high-end route.

Lou Xiaoe asked, "Zi Rui, when is the restaurant going to open? I'll invite some friends to come and cheer you on."

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I asked Daxian to check the date. The trial opening will start on September 9th, and the official opening will be on October 28st."

I also need to print business cards and distribute leaflets, [-]% off for the first three days of opening, and invite dragon and tiger masters to perform. Would you like to play an English song in the restaurant to improve the restaurant's standards? He remembers "More Than I Can Say" (Love You It's hard to say), "Sailing-Christopher Cross" (Sailing-Christopher Cross) and other songs are very popular in Europe and America at this time.

It will be paired with a few popular songs from Xiangjiang this year, such as Zhen Ni's "Pearl of the Orient", Xu Xiaofeng's "The Season of the Wind", Zhang Mingmin's "Hometown Wind", etc.

Bai Zirui immediately took action, arranging people to go to the record company to negotiate the purchase of the copyright of these songs, and start playing these songs when the restaurant opened.
