Siheyuan: Starting as a Chef Apprentice

After hard work by the purchasing staff and countless negotiations, comparisons and trade-offs, they finally reached long-term cooperation agreements with several high-quality and reasonably priced suppliers.

On this day, Wang Jianye dressed up carefully, wearing a well-fitting dark suit and combing his hair meticulously. He was waiting in the private room early for the arrival of Mr. Li, the head of the main supplier.

This meeting with Mr. Li is of great significance. It not only further consolidates the cooperation between the two parties, but also lays a more solid foundation for the future development of the hotel.

Soon, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and Boss Li's hearty laughter came in first: "Haha, Boss Wang, sorry for the wait!"

Wang Jianye quickly stood up, with a warm smile on his face, and walked forward to shake Boss Li's hand tightly: "Boss Li, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to having a good chat with you."

After the two sat down at the table, the waiter quickly served tea.

Wang Jianye picked up the teacup, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on it, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, thank you very much for lending a hand to us when we were in trouble and for your willingness to cooperate with us for a long time.

I believe that as long as we support each other, we will definitely achieve a win-win situation.

As you know, the price of raw materials has been rising recently, which has made us very worried. Several new restaurants have opened nearby, and the competition is also great. If you were not willing to help us, we really don’t know what to do. ”

Boss Li smiled and waved his hand, responding, "Boss Wang, you are too polite. I am also impressed by the reputation and potential of your restaurant.

Your restaurant is well-known in our area. The food is authentic and the service is great. I know it clearly and I will go no wrong in cooperating with you.

And to be honest, your purchase volume is indeed a stable guarantee for me. I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Wang Jianye was very pleased to hear this. He nodded slightly and continued, "Of course, we will strictly follow the contract in the future and communicate and resolve any problems in a timely manner.

Since we are partners, we are in the same boat and need to work together. By the way, I see there are some new food ingredients on the market recently. If you can get them, you can recommend them to us. We also want to introduce new dishes from time to time to change the taste of customers and keep it fresh. "

Boss Li's eyes flashed with interest. He put down his teacup, leaned forward, and said, "Oh? Boss Wang, your idea is good. Nowadays, customers' tastes are getting more and more picky, so we have to come up with something new from time to time. Tell me, what new ingredients do you have? I'll have people keep an eye out for them when I get back."

Wang Jianye introduced enthusiastically: "I heard that there is a kind of mushroom called 'truffle'. This thing is very rare abroad, but now it is gradually available in the domestic market. It is said that the taste is very unique, with an indescribable fresh fragrance. There is also a vegetable called 'ice grass', which looks juicy, tastes crispy, and has a light salty taste. It is said that it is very nutritious. If we can use these new ingredients in our dishes, we may be able to create a few popular dishes."

Boss Li nodded as he listened, exclaiming from time to time: "Oh, this does sound interesting. Boss Wang, you are well-informed. Okay, I will notify you as soon as I have any news. But this is a new ingredient, so the price may be higher at first. Can you accept that?"

Wang Jianye thought for a moment and said, "It's normal for the price to be a little higher at the beginning, as long as the quality is guaranteed. We can buy a small amount first and try it out. If the customer response is good, we can consider increasing the purchase volume. What do you think?"

Boss Li patted his thigh in agreement and said, "Boss Wang, you have thought this through very carefully. Let's do this. I will arrange for someone to look into this matter when I get back."

The two also talked about market conditions, cooperation details and other issues. This meeting made both parties more confident about future cooperation.

This cooperation has indeed provided the restaurant with a more stable supply of raw materials.

In accordance with the previous meeting arrangements, the hotel carefully planned and launched several cost-effective special packages.

These packages are like carefully crafted gift boxes. Each one embodies the hard work of the hotel team and is designed to meet the needs of different customer groups and attract more customers.

One day at noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the restaurant was bustling with people coming and going. Almost every seat was occupied by guests who came to dine.

The waiters shuttled between the tables, providing service to the customers in a busy and orderly manner.

The waitress Xiaoli was in charge of serving the guests at the tables near the windows in the hall today. She saw a young couple with a cute child coming in, and she hurriedly greeted them with a smile and light steps.

Xiaoli bowed slightly and said enthusiastically, "You two, welcome to Wang's All-Inclusive Restaurant. Today we have several very cost-effective family packages, which are especially suitable for your family of three."

The young couple looked at each other, and the husband smiled and said, "Oh? Really? What kind of set meals are there? Can you introduce them to us?"

Xiaoli's smile became even brighter, and she introduced skillfully: "This 'warm family meal' is very popular. It contains our signature 'Wang's Braised Pork', which is our chef's specialty. We use top-quality pork belly and cook it through many steps. The meat is soft and tender, and the taste is mellow and melts in your mouth.

There is also the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, which children generally like. It is sour and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is delicious.

Served with a portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, all of which are freshly picked that day, it is refreshing, delicious, nutritious and healthy.

Finally, it is served with a big bowl of delicious corn and pork ribs soup, which is cooked slowly with fresh corn and pork ribs. The soup is delicious and refreshing. Moreover, the whole set meal is large in quantity and affordable in price, which is enough for your family of three to eat well.

The young wife looked interested. She turned to look at her husband and said with a smile, "That sounds great, what do you think, honey?"

The husband looked at the menu and nodded, smiling, "It's really good. The kids are craving for it. Let's get this."

Xiaoli said happily: "Okay, you two, please wait a moment, I will take your order and the dishes will be served to you soon. I hope you enjoy your meal!"

After saying that, Xiaoli took the menu and quickly walked to the kitchen to place the order.

Soon, the set meals were served one after another. The first dish served was the bowl of corn and pork ribs soup, which was steaming hot and exuded an enticing aroma.

When the child smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Wow, it smells so good, I want to drink this soup!" The young wife smiled and served the child a small bowl of soup, saying, "Dear, drink slowly, don't burn yourself."

Then, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and Wang's braised pork were served one after another.

The wife tasted the braised pork and couldn't help but praise it: "Well, this braised pork is really authentic and has a mellow taste. No wonder it is a signature dish. Look at the meat, it is stewed to the perfect temperature and melts in your mouth. It's so delicious."

The husband also took a piece and tasted it, nodding his head in agreement: "Yes, it's really good. You can't get this taste anywhere else."

The child was happily eating the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stuffing his mouth full, and kept shouting, "Delicious, delicious, I like sweet and sour pork tenderloin the most!"

When the guests at other tables heard the three of them exclaiming in admiration, they all looked at them curiously. Some of them even couldn't help asking the waiter about the set meal.

A man at the next table said to the waiter Xiao Zhang: "Hey, young man, I just heard that the table over there said that the set meal they ordered is very good. Can you introduce it to me? I also want to change the taste."

Xiao Zhang walked over with a smile and introduced, "Sir, they ordered our 'Warm Family Meal' set meal. It contains the signature Wang's braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and corn and pork ribs soup. It is generous in portion and affordable, and is very popular.

We also have several other packages, such as the 'Business Elite Meal', which is suitable for business banquets and includes our specialties 'Steamed Fish' and 'Kung Pao Chicken'.

The combination is also very reasonable; there is also a 'romantic meal for couples', including 'steak stewed in red wine', 'fruit salad' and other dishes to create a romantic atmosphere. You can choose according to your needs. "

The man listened, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh, I see. Then I'll take a look at the menu first. Thank you."

Through word of mouth among customers, the fame of these special packages grew, attracting more and more customers, bringing more customers to the restaurant, and the business in the restaurant became more and more prosperous.

One day, Mr. Chen, an old customer who often came to the restaurant for dinner, walked into the restaurant.

He saw Xiaoli and greeted her with a smile: "Xiaoli, I heard that you have launched several new meal sets, which are almost whetting my appetite. Tell me about them, I want to try them today."

Xiaoli smiled and responded, "Uncle Chen, you are here. Our special set meals are very popular now. In addition to the 'warm family meal' I introduced to you before, there is also the 'old friends gathering meal', which includes 'Wang's roast chicken', 'Mapo tofu', 'cold cucumber salad' and 'tomato and egg soup'. It is suitable for you to eat when you get together with old friends."

When Mr. Chen heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, that sounds good. I just invited a few old friends to have dinner here today, so let's have this 'Old Friends Dinner'."

Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, please sit down for a while. I'll go and place your order."

When the "Old Friends Dinner" was served, Uncle Chen and his friends started eating.

An old friend tasted Wang's roast chicken and praised: "Well, this roast chicken is really well made, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the taste is very fragrant."

Uncle Chen also tasted a bite of Mapo Tofu and said with a smile: "Haha, this Mapo Tofu still has the same taste, spicy and addictive, delicious!"

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Through continuous customer feedback and word-of-mouth, the special packages of Wang's entire hotel chain have become a bright business card of the hotel, attracting all kinds of customers to come and taste them.

……

Although Wang's entire chain of restaurants has made great progress in stabilizing the supply of raw materials, attracting customers with special packages, and improving service quality through a series of effective measures,

The overall business condition has been maintained relatively well, but new restaurants have sprung up in the surrounding area one after another, and the fierce competition is still around, threatening the development of the hotel at all times.

Wang Jianye decisively summoned the hotel's management staff and gathered them in the familiar conference room.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn. Everyone was aware of the importance of this meeting, and everyone had a serious expression on their face.

Wang Jianye sat at the head of the conference table, his eyes slowly swept over every executive present, and he was the first to break the silence: "Everyone, we all know that although the current business situation of the hotel is still good, the surrounding competitive pressure has not decreased at all.

Everyone, think carefully today. We need to come up with some new strategies to further highlight our advantages, so that we can stand firm in this fierce competition and even move to a higher level. Tell us your ideas. "

As soon as the voice fell, the marketing manager Qin Huairu bowed slightly, cleared her throat, and said with a look of confidence and excitement, "Boss Wang, I have been thinking about this matter for some time.

I think we can launch business packages for the surrounding office buildings and provide meal delivery services. You see, the society is developing faster and faster now, and the work pace of office workers is so tight. Many people only have a short break at noon, and they don’t want to go too far to eat. They just want to have lunch quickly near the company and then take a break. If we can seize this opportunity and deliver our carefully prepared business packages directly to them, we will definitely attract a lot of customers. ”

As Wang Jianye listened to the words of marketing manager Qin Huairu, a gleam of light gradually flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly, as if he had already outlined in his mind the beautiful picture after the implementation of this strategy.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, this is a good idea. Office workers are indeed a large potential consumer group. If we can win them over, it will definitely be of great benefit to our hotel's business.

So, what is the specific combination of this business package? And how should the meal delivery service be arranged?"

Marketing manager Qin Huairu was more confident after receiving Wang Jianye's affirmation. He straightened up and elaborated in detail: "Boss Wang, it's like this. I think this business package can be divided into several grades. For example, there is an economical and affordable one, which is suitable for ordinary employees. It can be paired with a main dish, such as our hotel's signature 'Wang's Braised Pork Rice'. The braised pork is stewed until soft and tasty, and paired with fragrant rice, it is guaranteed to make them full; plus a refreshing side dish, such as cold cucumber or vinegar potato shreds, to relieve the greasiness; and a bowl of soup, such as seaweed egg drop soup is very good, nutritious and delicious."
