I have a seaside five-star hotel

Chapter 25
Chen Jianhai went straight to the point: "Our goal is to launch a special dish, so special that not only customers like it, but even those who don't stay here are willing to come here, so as to achieve the purpose of catering to promote accommodation."

"The specific dishes, I think, are still based on the hotel's existing financial strength and the consumption level of customers."

"It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must be refined."

"The special dishes we launch are not only good for us, but the key is for customers to think they are good! Success must be at least more than 1000 repeat customers."

Everyone in the kitchen was dumbfounded.

Isn't it absurd for a fledgling team with only one head chef to develop hotel specialties?

To develop a special dish, we must not only fully consider the supply environment of the ingredients, but also attach great importance to the chef's cooking skills.

same recipe,
Different people will make different flavors.

Even though Michelin recipes are flying all over the Internet, there are always more videos of rollovers than successful videos.

Because there is only a gap of one grain of salt, the completion of the whole dish is infinitely magnified!

And the most frustrating thing is that the dishes developed must have at least 1000 repeat customers!
Is the boss crazy, or are they crazy? !

Not to mention that Nanjiang City is a resort and tourist city, and there are people coming and going on weekdays.

It's hard for your Langyue Hotel to have 1000 repeat customers,

I also want to attract 1000 people with one dish,

how can that be! ! !

If you don't want to give your brothers a raise, just say so, there's no need to make such a coquettish move!

What's more, Chen Jianhai only mentioned the general direction, and let them play freely on everything else.

This is tantamount to spilling a handful of millet in the sea and letting them pick it up by themselves.

Sure enough, after listening to Chen Jianhai's words, the whole kitchen fell into deathly silence.

Chen Jianhai pondered and said:

"Any questions?"

Just as Xu Bo wanted to speak, Chen Jianhai spoke first:
"Okay. This is probably the idea now. You and the brothers in the kitchen should think about the specific dishes."

"After success, the salary doubles."

In an instant, the words that everyone wanted to rush out were rejected.

Eh,
If you want to raise your salary, then I will do it for you with all my heart!

Chen Jianhai looked around,
"Okay, you can arrange and design the specific dishes yourself."

"If you need to go out for research, if you don't have enough funds, you can ask me."

"Now, do you have anything else to say?"

It was quiet all around.

Everyone's face is engraved with the four characters "Yue Yuyu".

"Dismiss."

After the meeting, Chen Jianhai felt an indescribable excitement.

Is this what it's like to be a boss giving employees a meeting?
Tell yourself your ideas for future work and the goals you want to achieve, and then the employees will work hard to complete them.

This feeling of no longer fighting alone is really good!
However, despite what he said, the research and development of dishes let the kitchen staff think for themselves.

But it can't really be a hands-off shopkeeper.

He has to strictly control the selection of dishes, the enjoyment of taste, the level of quality and even the final price.

After all, the research and development of special dishes is good or bad,

But it is directly related to system tasks.

In order for the hotel to have a revolving crystal music restaurant on the second floor, he even promised a salary increase.

Really hard work!
……

Everyone left the staff lounge.

Thirty people returned to the kitchen.

The time in the morning is actually very tight. They have to prepare the relevant ingredients for tomorrow morning this evening.

"Brother Johnny, the special dish the boss mentioned has only one idea, not even a direction, what's the matter?"

Bei Cai threw the vegetables into the sink to wash, and asked sadly.

Everyone is racking their brains thinking about the dishes,

Xu Bo was kneading the dough in his hands, but also a little taciturn.

Although this matter was said to be a task assigned by Chen Jianhai to the entire kitchen, the real burden was actually on him alone.

Overnight, countless thoughts had popped up in his mind.

All kinds of special delicacies that he had eaten before came to his mind like a tide, allowing him to choose to his heart's content.

For example, you can introduce a herbal fish soup for breakfast, which melts the gelatin of the fish skin into the soup water, and makes people have an endless aftertaste after taking a sip.

Or try to make crystal lobster balls, using fresh big lobsters directly as raw materials, which are crystal clear and like pearls, and attract customers directly from the ingredients themselves.

Or go the other way, take ginger chicken as the main dish, and make a way out of a sea food delicacy.

For so many years, Xu Bo has never eaten in any restaurant or stayed in any hotel under the light of his father!

Vision and insights are definitely there.

Although he can't reach the level of a professional senior chef, he is still a master chef in an ordinary restaurant.

As long as he is willing to try, it is not difficult to develop new dishes.

For him, the only difficulty was Chen Jianhai's request.

"It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must be fine!"

That's hard.

Xu Bo frowned.

See the big from the small, and make the ordinary and ordinary ingredients special, so that customers come here admiringly,

This kind of requirement is actually the most difficult for chefs.

For example, it is also fried rice with eggs.

Some chefs can rely on a plate of fried rice with eggs and become men who can't even get a Michelin star.

In some restaurants, fried rice with eggs is just carbohydrates for people to satiate.

The joys and sorrows between egg fried rice and egg fried rice are also different.

Where should I start from...

Xu Bo fell into deep thought.

……

10:00 in the evening.

There are fewer and fewer people in the kitchen.

Xu Bo's management of the kitchen staff is very humane.

As long as the work is done and the meals of the guests and employees are not delayed, you can go back to the dormitory to rest.

Therefore, each employee will finish the work in his hands as soon as possible, and then arrange other time.

Strange to say,
Since coming to work in the hotel, everyone feels that their professional skills are constantly improving. What used to take an hour to complete can now be completed in 45 to 50 minutes.

The potato shreds of the knife pier are cut more densely.

The noodles that Xu Bo stretched out became thinner and more tenacious, with an excellent taste.

And the greater the intensity of work, the faster their abilities will improve.

Even once, after cutting a potato perfectly, Daodun even performed a unique skill of slipping a knife with one hand.

Seeing Xu Bo and others' eyes straightened.

After cutting the last potato, Daodun sharpened his beloved sword,

In the huge cafeteria, Xu Bo was sitting alone behind the noodle table, pinching the dough with his hands.

Seems to be thinking about something.

"Brother Johnny, don't you want to go back and rest? We have to get up early to work tomorrow morning." Dao Dun said.

"I have an idea." Xu Bo said.

Daodun quickly pulled a stool from the side and sat beside Xu Bo.

Xu Bo told Dao Dun about his thoughts and concerns.

"In my opinion, special dishes do not necessarily refer to 'hard dishes' with higher-quality ingredients, and some special snacks can also gain fame."

"Moreover, as the hotel's Chinese restaurant noodle area, the features we introduce must be integrated with what we are good at."

Dao Dun nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

"The development of dishes requires feedback and publicity from customers."

"Breakfast is the time when the hotel has the largest number of diners, and it is also the best natural venue for us to introduce new dishes."

"So, I want to think about the breakfast food." Xu Bo said.

Dao Dun nodded, agreeing.
