Chapter 218: Booming Business
A long queue instantly formed in the restaurant, and Director Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.
But he couldn't figure it out, so he arranged for Assistant Wu to be the only one to register. Wouldn't he have to be busy until noon?
"Xiao Lin, how about sending a few employees to help?"
“Don’t!”
When Lin Siqiao heard this, she quickly stopped the man and gave Director Hu a look that said, "Don't worry."
To be precise, she did all this on purpose.
According to psychological research, in addition to the herd mentality, people also have a behavior called - synchronization behavior.
That is to say, in everyone's heart, there is a desire to keep pace with the majority, just like now.
When other foreign guests see so many people gathered in the restaurant, curiosity will drive them to come over and take a look.
Synchronous behavior will make them want to join involuntarily.
The longer the line is, the more it will stimulate their willingness to queue, and will make them have a strong anticipation for what is ahead.
Lin Siqiao was interrupted by several wives of foreign guests when he was halfway through his explanation.
"Ma'am, I'd like to ask if those suits can also be reserved?"
The ladies pointed to a few sets of clothes hanging in the display area.
"Of course, this is a special Christmas model that we [Hua Qiao] launched."
Seeing that the ladies seemed very interested, Lin Siqiao deliberately said a few more words.
"These sets are based on the Chinese Tang suits, and have been improved upon."
"The patterns above are all knitted manually by our master craftsmen stitch by stitch."
"We have currently designed family clothing suitable for the whole family. If you have this need, you can register your information in advance."
After listening to Lin Siqiao's description, the ladies instantly became interested.
Someone asked curiously, “What is a family pack?”
"Family wear is clothes of the same color but different styles, but with the same theme."
"Ladies, if you are free tomorrow, you may come and have a look."
"We will then have some family-style clothing samples and some parent-child jewelry."
After Lin Siqiao's explanation, everyone understood.
The ladies nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Just based on the clothes currently hanging in the store, they had every reason to believe that Lin Siqiao would not let them down.
"Okay, we'll definitely come over tomorrow."
Lin Siqiao smiled and said, "Madam, I suggest that you go to the second floor now."
"Go to the second floor?"
"Yes, our second floor is a cafe, which has a variety of delicious desserts and pastries."
"There is also something you have never seen before: coffee art!"
Upon hearing this, the ladies present either covered their mouths and chuckled or looked confused.
If they remember correctly, coffee was introduced to China from abroad.
Not to mention, this is not common in China. Even the ones sold in Western restaurants are something they have tried before.
How can it be worthy of the words "coffee art"?
Lin Siqiao didn't say much, but handed the customized menu to the ladies.
With curiosity, the ladies opened the menu.
Cups of exquisite coffee pictures came into everyone's sight.
The wives of ambassadors from various countries, who thought they were well-informed, were now speechless.
Is this the same kind of coffee they drink everyday?
How can it be so beautiful!
Of course, the price is not cheap either. A cup of coffee in a western restaurant outside only costs a few cents, but here it starts at one dollar.
The more intricate the pattern on the coffee, the more expensive it is.
Lin Siqiao did not explain too much about this. Everyone knows that you get what you pay for.
What's more, in the whole Beijing and even in the whole world, only this place can do it.
For this alone, it's worth the price!
I can’t say anything else, but what Lin Siqiao can guarantee is that the taste of the coffee here is definitely as good as its appearance.
"Come on, let's go up and try it."
"See if it's really as this lady said."
The ladies smiled and went upstairs under the guidance of the waiter. At this time, Lin Siqiao handed the menu to a man named Chang Xiaobei.
"Chang Xiaobei, you will be responsible for taking orders for the ladies later."
"I... me?"
Chang Xiaobei swallowed nervously. She was the one with the worst foreign language skills among this group of employees.
Just now I was listening to Manager Lin dealing with these ladies.
Her mind went blank because she didn't understand a word.
Now, Lin Siqiao handed this heavy responsibility to her, and Chang Xiaobei was so scared that her legs began to tremble.
Seeing her like this, another girl stepped forward.
"Manager Lin, how about I do it?"
This is the first business in the coffee shop, and everyone wants to make the customers as satisfied as possible.
Unexpectedly, Lin Siqiao did not agree after hearing this. She looked directly at Chang Xiaobei.
"Chang Xiaobei, it's a favor for everyone to help you, but they also have their own work to do, so they can't help you every time."
"You have been training with everyone for a week. If you still can't get over this hurdle, you can't stand up."
"That just means you're not suitable for this job!"
Although what Lin Siqiao said was unpleasant to hear, it was the truth.
In fact, she likes Chang Xiaobei very much. This girl is hardworking, sincere and friendly, but the only thing is that she lacks a little confidence.
She comforted him, "Don't be too nervous. Just follow what Assistant Wu taught you every day."
When the other girls heard this, they all gathered around and cheered her on.
"Yeah, Xiaobei, don't be nervous, we are all here."
"Come on, Xiaobei, you can do it!"
Looking at everyone's concerned eyes, Chang Xiaobei took a deep breath.
She knew that everyone cared about her.
She also knew that Manager Lin was not doing this to make things difficult for her.
She just wanted to grow faster.
"Please rest assured, I will try my best."
After saying that, Chang Xiaobei took the menu and went upstairs.
Lin Siqiao smiled and did not go up to see the results.
In her opinion, as long as people have the courage to take the first step, it doesn’t matter if they fail this time, things will get better and better in the future.
More than ten minutes later, Chang Xiaobei came down with red eyes.
The girls were about to ask what happened when they heard her sobbing.
“Sisters, I did it.”
"Wow, that really scared me to death."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. The first time is the second time, and you won't be nervous next time."
"Um."
Chang Xiaobei nodded heavily and walked in front of Lin Siqiao.
"Thank you, Manager Lin."
Lin Siqiao nodded, "Okay, calm down, we still have a lot to do today."
"yes!"
After a few jokes, the girls quickly returned to their work.
There were more and more people in the restaurant, just as Lin Siqiao had expected.
Many foreign guests will subconsciously come in to take a look when passing by the restaurant.
With so many people, the scene is inevitably a little chaotic. In addition, today is the first day of opening, so all kinds of small problems are inevitable.
Fortunately, everyone is united enough and everything is moving in a good direction.
After the busy and chaotic lunch period, everyone was exhausted.
But the excitement in everyone's eyes was obvious.
At this time, Assistant Wu summarized the business data from upstairs and downstairs and handed it over.
Lin Siqiao paused after reading it.
