Food starts with noodles

Although the yard is full of weeds and dilapidated, it is not very eye-catching, but because it is located in the center of the old city transformation, and the area of ​​the yard is large enough, it is worth two or three million yuan.

"Why? Don't you like my yard?" Sun Lisong didn't expect Xu Zhuo to refuse so simply, and his face was a little unhappy.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I deserve it. I haven't done anything. You should live in this yard. It just so happens that my godmother wants to learn pickles here. There is no space."

Sun Lisong smiled and didn't insist anymore.

In the next few days, Xu Zhuo was busy all the time.

Recruiting people, buying tables and chairs, configuring kitchen utensils, purchasing tableware, Xu Zhuo was so busy that he didn't even have the time to live with Meng Liwei.

"Xu Zhuo, I think we should print some business cards. We will have business contacts in the future. It would be unprofessional not to have a business card."

After lunch, Jianguo ate eight-treasure stuffed pears made by Xu Zhuo, and talked about his opinions.

Cao Kun took a sip of his tea and nodded in agreement: "Damn, business cards are indeed indispensable. The management team must have their own business cards, which is convenient for communicating with customers and receiving some group business."

The upgraded Sifang restaurant is about to open. Xu Zhuo asked everyone to cook a few special dishes and determine what dishes need to be added to the menu.

Unexpectedly, Jianguo asked Xu Zhuo to print his business card before the recipe was confirmed.

Xu Zhuo didn't care at first, thinking that Jianguo was making a fuss over a molehill.

But after hearing Cao Kun's words, Xu Zhuo was a little moved.

Since Ma Zhiqiang helped Xu Zhuo win a big deal last time, Xu Zhuo has been more interested in group business.

Because the group business dishes are fixed, the ingredients are well prepared, and the meals are made at one time, which is more efficient.

Cao Kun had been following Wei Junming before, so he knew about this aspect very well, but Xu Zhuo was very curious about Jianguo's suggestion.

In my impression, the head chef of Xu's restaurant doesn't have a business card. Where did he get it?Could it be Cao Kun's idea?

Xu Zhuo didn't think much about it. Seeing that Jianguo was very enthusiastic about business cards, he asked him to be in charge of the business cards, and handed them over to the advertising company for printing along with the recipes.

He knocked on the table and brought the topic back to the menu customization: "What is the best signature dish on the first page?"

Not only Xu Zhuo Jianguo and Cao Kun were present, but also Zheng Jia, the front desk manager who helped the chef and Chen Guifang to help recruit.

Zheng Jia is 26 years old this year, tall and slender, with short hair that looks very capable. She used to work as a manager of a Hunan restaurant, and she is very proficient in all aspects of the front desk.

Originally, Zheng Jia didn't want to change jobs, but just accompanied a close sister to interview the waiter, but it happened just in time for Xu Zhuo to teach Cao Kun how to make sheep's trotters.

It was a bit too much, and the few people in the store couldn't finish it, so Xu Zhuo brought it out for the interviewers to taste, and Zheng Jia became addicted to it.

Knowing that there is no front desk manager in the store, and the salary is good, Zheng Jia immediately said that she would change jobs.

Under such circumstances, Xu Zhuo naturally welcomed her very much, and set her salary at [-], which was [-] more than what Hunan Restaurant gave her.

"I think it's better to put the sheep's feet on the first page, because the reputation of the sheep's feet has already opened up, and the taste is also good, so it's suitable as a sign in the store." Zheng Jia gnawed on the sheep's feet and expressed her opinion.

Jianguo said that the first page should contain eight-treasure stuffed pears, because most of the customers in the store are medical students, and they, regardless of gender, have no resistance to this exquisite dessert.

Moreover, medical students are already familiar with sheep's trotters, so it doesn't matter if they put it on the first page. For regular customers, even if they don't print it on the recipe, they will order sheep's trotters when they should.

In addition, Babao stuffed pears are sold at a higher price than sheep's feet, and the profit is also higher.

Jianguo's analysis was well-founded, and finally everyone unanimously decided that Babao stuffed pears should be placed on the first page.

However, the position on the second page is Yotei. After all, it has been famous for a long time, and it has always been the signboard of Sifang Pavilion, so it should not be placed too far back.

Next, Xu Zhuo's cold dishes and boiled dishes, Cao Kun's various stewed dishes, and Jianguo's decent stir-fries all passed everyone's choice.

In terms of staple food, Braised Noodles, Cold Noodles, Oily Noodles, Scallion Noodles, Braised Pork Rice, etc., are all listed.

As for the mutton steamed bun that Li Hao strongly suggested on the phone, Xu Zhuo thought it was too difficult to veto it.

After ordering the dishes, Xu Zhuo called the photographer Sun Panpan contacted and asked him to help take pictures of the dishes.

This should be done before the evening, otherwise the printing will be delayed, and it will be ridiculous if you can’t make it out when it opens later.

While waiting for the photographer to arrive, everyone started to cook their selected dishes so that they could take pictures later.

"Xu Zhuo, you can arrange the dishes later, you will make them look better."

Jianguo is now very obsessed with the presentation of the dishes, not only him, but also the people in the shop have noticed that for the same dish, even if they put it on the plate deliberately, it is not as good-looking as Xu Zhuo's casually served one.

Today, I want to take a makeup photo of the dishes, and I must move closer to the good-looking and attractive aspects.

Xu Zhuo cut the coir raincoat and cucumber: "Okay, no problem."

What Jianguo wanted to do was stir-fry and couldn't be done in advance. He asked Xu Zhuo when he had nothing to do, "Why don't I go to the advertising company to get the business card done first? There are designers, so I just need to communicate with them and try to get the business card done." Become tall and tall."

Xu Zhuo soaked the chopped coir raincoat cucumber in the sauce, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you, just to choose the style of the recipe."

The advertising company is at the intersection. It is said to be an advertising company, but it is actually a typing and copying shop.

A street full of old acquaintances, so Xu Zhuo chose him to print recipes here.

After entering, the owner called the pictures saved in the computer and asked Xu Zhuo to choose the style and style of the recipe.

Jianguo was holding a pen and paper next to him, writing to print the name, title and contact information on the business card.

After Xu Zhuo had finalized the style and color of the recipe, he looked back at Jianguo: "Where's the business card? Have you finished it? Let the boss design it and print our LOGO when it's finished."

The store owner took the note in Jianguo's hand and looked at it. Just as he was about to put it down, he read it again with wide eyes: "English name?"

English?

Xu Zhuo got his business card. The first thing on it was the title of head chef, but the name was Charles Jianguo.

It took Xu Zhuo a long time to understand: "This is...Charles Jianguo?"

Chapter 270 Opening Promotion

Xu Zhuo looked at Jianguo curiously, not understanding what kind of operation it was.

Why did a good Chinese chef suddenly take the international route?

But if you take the international route, it’s easy to go. Everyone’s barber shop is Mr. Tony. Although the meme is bad, the name Mr. Tony sounds really foreign, otherwise there would not be so many barbers who would choose this title.

And this Charles Jianguo, not only does not sound a little foreign, but it makes people feel very funny.Like Nicholas Zhao Si's cousin.

"Your English name is quite unique." Xu Zhuo didn't ask Jianguo directly what was going on, he was not sure if Jianguo was joking or for real.

Jianguo smiled: "This is my English name. I checked it out. The name Charles has an aristocratic atmosphere, which is more in line with my temperament..."

His serious appearance made Xu Zhuo wonder if this Mr. Charles had gone to Deyun Club for a month of training.

"You really decided to print this name on the business card?" In front of outsiders, Xu Zhuo didn't want to say anything, and asked Jianguo to make a decision as soon as possible. Anyway, he can do whatever he wants on his personal business card.

"Yes, that's the name. The style of the business card should be more western, just like the English letters on the red wine bottle." Mr. Charles looked enthusiastic, and it seemed that he really liked the name.

Although the owner of the copy shop was surprised, he was a customer and had to satisfy any request.

He opened the design software and began to design the style and font of the business card.Jianguo leaned aside and kept talking about his request for a business card.

After finishing it, the owner of the copy shop looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "What about you? Don't you want an English name?"

Xu Zhuo shook his head: "No, just print my name and change the boss's title to the store manager."

There are four sets of business cards in total, including Xu Zhuo, Cao Kun, Zheng Jia and Mr. Charles. After finishing these, Xu Zhuo looked at the leaflet designed by the owner of the copy shop.

This is to be distributed before opening, so it has to be confirmed now, and after it is printed, it has to be distributed quickly.

"Basically, I have already designed it for you. As long as there are photos of the dishes, you can print them. Look at the date. Are you sure it will open on August 8?"

Xu Zhuo carefully read the front and back of the leaflet, the design is very eye-catching, especially the word "Opening Ceremony on August 8th" is extremely eye-catching.

Xu Zhuo invested a lot of money in this opening promotion.

For example, yesterday we reached an agreement with Fat Brother's taxi company on roof advertisements. Recently, all of their roof advertisements were promotions for the opening ceremony of Sifang Pavilion.

In addition, Xu Zhuo also contacted a lot of local self-media, and confirmed the publicity with them. Li Hao will handle all the publicity copy, and they just need to send it at the agreed time.

Two days later, the recipe cards and the promotional pages of Sifang Restaurant were all printed and delivered.

The owner of the copy shop looked at the picture on the recipe and said with a smile: "The photo is really good. I was drooling while looking at it when I was sorting it out that day. I will definitely bring my family to taste it when it opens."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Welcome, welcome, [-]% discount on all dishes in the first three days of opening, you can try it out."

The prices on the menu are the result of everyone's discussion, and the prices of all dishes have been raised, basically [-]% higher than the prices of dishes in similar restaurants.

After the store is upgraded, price increases are inevitable, and now that the store employs so many people, if the price is low, let alone making money, it may even lose money.

Overall, the price of the food in the store is almost the same as that of the Sichuan restaurant.

"In the past, you relied on price to win. Now that the price has been raised, the price advantage is no longer there. I hope it still has the popularity of the past."

Wei Junming flipped through the recipes, and although he felt Xu Zhuo's drastic price adjustment was risky, he still trusted Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship.

It used to be a small restaurant with little service, relying on small profits but quick turnover to attract customers.

Now that the store has been upgraded, there is no need for low prices to maintain business, but it is time to rely on taste and word of mouth to increase the popularity of the noodle restaurant.

The leaflets have already been delivered, so they can't be kept in the store all the time, and someone has to distribute them.

All the waiters and kitchen assistants in the store took to the streets, but there were still a lot of promotional pages. If they were alone, there would probably be quite a few left.

Xu Zhuo thought for a while, and planned to ask the students of the medical school for help.

He first sent a few messages in the group to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

"@All Members: The Sifang restaurant has been upgraded and is scheduled to open on August 8. Students who come to the school in advance can come and try it. There is a 28% discount on all dishes three days before the opening. Welcome."

"In order to repay the great love of the students for our store, after the opening event, all students who come to the store with their student ID cards will enjoy a [-]% discount on the dishes (promotional dishes are not included in this event)."

"In the new semester, our store will open a food delivery service. Online ordering services can be realized through the Sifangguan WeChat public account. The scope of food delivery is tentatively set in the medical school district. Students are welcome to experience it. In addition, our store is recruiting food delivery staff. Students who deliver food for a work-study program can sign up with @徐狂的妻子.”

Xu Zhuo planned to let Yu Keke be in charge of this matter, but Aite found out that she had changed the group business card to "Xu Zhuo's wife" after finishing the girl.

After other people in the group saw it, they asked Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke to give out red envelopes.

"What's the situation? Yu Keke was still hot before the summer vacation, why did he become a wife after the summer vacation?"

"Hey, the male god finally succumbed to money, so blue and thin..."

"Kill the monster upstairs! Boss Xu, if you fall in love, you have to give out red envelopes. This is the rule of this group."

Naturally, Xu Zhuo was not stingy, and gave out a red envelope of 2000 yuan, and then asked everyone if there were any students who were willing to distribute leaflets. It was 80 yuan a day, and two simple meals were provided.

Eighty a day is the price for distributing leaflets, but this price makes the college students in the group lack of interest, and they are not interested at all.

Because everyone's wallets are bulging at the moment, and the mere 80 yuan is completely ignored.

"Boss Xu, are there any new dishes for this store upgrade?"

"Of course I have, wait, I'll post the recipe to the group for you to take a look at." After speaking, Xu Zhuo sent the electronic version of the recipe to the group.

As soon as it was released, the group was boiling.

"What kind of dish is stuffed pear with eight treasures? It looks delicious."

"Holy shit, spicy rabbit head, boss Xu, is this Sichuan style? I really want to eat it. I couldn't get enough of it last time I went to Rongcheng."

"Omg! Tamales? This is my favorite!"

"Boss Xu, will you cook these dishes when distributing the leaflets? If you do, I will buy a bus ticket to go to school now. I don't need money, as long as I let you eat these meals..."

Chapter 271 The Big Stomach King Competition

As soon as the student took the lead, the others immediately reacted.

"Yes, yes, we don't need money, as long as we cook these meals for us to eat."

Xu Zhuo never expected that this group of students would be so generous.

Although the prices of these dishes are not low, but when calculated together, it is about 80 to [-] yuan per person, and [-] yuan for two meals is definitely not a loss.

Boss Xu is not a stingy person, and he also wanted to take advantage of these few days to practice his hands, so he agreed.

"That's fine, you can come here now, I'll cook these dishes for you tonight, but it doesn't take many people to distribute leaflets in the store, please register your names first, and I'll see how many there are."

Students who haven't come to school don't think about it, and the students who are in school now may not be able to use it up.

Soon, twenty students signed up.
