Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 731: Food Paradise
The kitchen was quiet for a moment, and then all the Valkina people applauded to express their welcome.

Malu also took out the firework bucket he had just bought from the Aijia Grocery Store across the street and fired a cannon at Sun Mei.

Immediately afterwards, six Valkinas who were standing by the pool slid down the ropes and began to sweep up the confetti on the ground.

"I..." Sun Mei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could only say one sentence, "I have to go back and get my chef's uniform."

"Don't worry, the kitchen isn't too busy right now, and you aren't asked to start work right away, so you can digest it for a while.

"Also, I wanted to show you the ingredients, but then you fainted. So let's do it at night. You can come to my place and ask me anything you want to know."

Malu was not surprised by Sun Mei's choice, because as Lao Wang said, she was a person who was passionate and persistent about cooking.

As long as she can improve her cooking skills, she is willing to go even if the road ahead is hell.

Besides, the kitchen of the Infinite Universe Canteen is far from hell.

In fact, after the initial shock, Sun Mei has gradually recovered and quickly got into the state.

Looking at the kitchen full of ingredients he had never seen before, his eyes lit up. "I'll go to your place tonight, but I want to stay here now. Even if I can't do it myself, it's good to get familiar with the work in advance."

Malu looked at Lao Wang, who nodded, "Okay."

"Very good." Malu stretched out his hand, shook hands with Sun Mei, and congratulated him again, "Congratulations on your promotion to deputy chef of the Universe Infinity Canteen. I will sort out the contract this afternoon and give it to you in the evening."

Then he turned to look at the group of Valkina people, "Um... Lilim, Sous Chef Sun Mei is now in your charge. Help her get familiar with the kitchen."

…………

Malu was quite happy to get another capable assistant. He had personally experienced Sun Mei's cooking skills, and she was also recognized by Lao Wang. Malu thought it was a waste when she worked as a waitress in a restaurant.

As a qualified capitalist, he has been thinking about how to further develop Sun Mei's value. Unfortunately, he has to give up for the time being because he cannot get around the city manager.

Now I have finally gotten what I wanted.

With the addition of Sun Mei, Malu can also consider expanding his business territory.

The restaurant's area is limited and it is difficult to expand it unless Zhen Ye gives up the second floor. Although Malu can talk to Zhen Ye and is confident that he can convince her.

But considering what this building meant to her, Malu gave up the idea.

As for moving to another place, one thing is that it will be difficult to find a suitable place in the short term, and the other is that Malu is not very confident about Zhen Ye living upstairs.

If you want to increase sales without moving, you have to find new channels.

——The first thing Malu thought of was takeout!
Originally, the Universe Infinity Canteen did not have takeout, because the daily customer flow was so large that there was no time to do takeout, and Lao Wang didn't like takeout either.

He believes that every dish has its best tasting period and that the dishes should be eaten within a limited time.

This statement is not without reason, but there are indeed some people who cannot come for various reasons. However, there are always more solutions than problems. Although the Universe Infinity Canteen does not provide take-out, if you really want to eat, you can ask relatives and friends to dine in and ask for an extra portion to be taken away.

There was even a time when one person came to eat and packed up more than ten or twenty servings, leaving the people in the queue behind him with nothing to eat. In the end, Malu was forced to add a new rule, stipulating that one person could only pack up to three servings.

It can be seen that the demand for takeout always exists. Lao Wang is unwilling to do takeout, so he can let Sun Mei, the sous chef, come. Anyway, Sun Mei needs to practice with new ingredients first. Although her cooking skills are not bad, there is still a big gap compared with Lao Wang.

For a restaurant, if the quality of the same dish is not stable, it will actually damage its reputation. It would be better to let Sun Mei be solely responsible for takeout to ensure stable quality.

Wait until she has learned enough, then close the food delivery channel.

However, Malu estimated that it would be impossible in the short term, because the menu of the Universe Infinite Canteen changes every week, and Sun Mei has a lot to learn.

Just do it when you think of it. Of course, it is the easiest way to sell takeout on food delivery platforms such as Meiping and Ele.me, but you will face high commissions and various regulations of the platform.

The advantage is that you can get the platform's traffic, but the problem is that Universe Infinite Canteen does not lack traffic.

So Malu planned to create his own food delivery app and connect to delivery channels such as Dada and Fengniao.

He asked a gold medal producer to design the mini program, but he still had to think about what the takeaway would sell, but he had already thought of the pricing range in advance.

Take-out will not be more expensive than regular meals, but it will not be much cheaper either, otherwise it will damage the restaurant's reputation. Malu plans to set the price at about two-thirds of that of regular meals.

In addition, after a period of operation in recent times, the number of business points he has on hand has accumulated to 17189 points.

Malu turned on the decoration function provided by the gold medal producer and began to enthusiastically upgrade the restaurant's decoration again.

However, after the last renovation, the restaurant's decoration is not bad anymore. The tables and chairs have been replaced with black walnut, and the floor is also solid wood.

Even the incandescent lamp above the head has been transformed into a straight-line chandelier with full-spectrum adjustable color temperature and brightness, which instantly raises the level of the space.

But there is still a long way to go to reach those world-famous top restaurants, and going further is not something that can be achieved by simply piling up materials.

Even if the millipedes pave the road with gold and inlays the walls with diamonds, it can only give people a feeling of nouveau riche. A truly good decoration should be unified and harmonious.

It takes into account both beauty and functionality, and has its own set of design logic.

To this end, Malu spent 80 yuan to find a young award-winning designer and asked him to produce a rendering for the Universe Infinity Canteen.

According to the renderings, Malu spent another 8255 business points to renovate the Universe Infinity Canteen.

Malu did not intend to do charity. Since he had spent the money, he would naturally earn it back double.

Therefore, after the second renovation, he adjusted the menu prices generally, increasing them by about 40%.

Considering that the dining costs at the Universe Infinity Canteen were not cheap before, this move will undoubtedly have some impact on the subsequent customer flow.

Anyway, on the first day after the price adjustment, the line outside the restaurant became noticeably shorter, but correspondingly, the customers' dining experience was further improved.

Combined with the current dining environment of the Universe Infinity Canteen, even the most demanding food critics cannot find any flaws.

Meiping.com quickly raised the score of Universe Infinite Canteen from 4.6 to 4.8.

The comments even became: This is the best restaurant on the planet, bar none, it is flawless except for the service, it is a shining pearl in the catering industry, a holy place that food lovers cannot miss!
