Chapter 182 The Early-Death Second-Generation Star in Urban Entertainment Novel (Part 9)
In the afternoon, the canteen manager came to Jiang Yue's office and made some suggestions. First, he suggested adding more promotional slogans and emphasizing the importance of not wasting food in meetings. Second, he wanted to change the canteen to a buffet style, where people could take more of the dishes they wanted and leave the rest as they wished. Third, he hoped to add some reward and punishment measures to penalize those who frequently wasted food.
After everyone left, Jiang Yue considered the suggestion made by the canteen manager. She thought about it and asked Bai Ze to calculate the canteen's expenses. Previously, the company would top up the employees' cards every month. Once the money was used up, the employees had to top it up themselves. If they didn't use it up, the balance would be reset the following month. If it were changed to be free, how much would the cost increase?
After waiting a while, Bai Ze finished the statistics. It turned out that it wouldn't cost much more per year if it were free, so he decided to make it free from now on. Then he asked the canteen manager on the system how often the raw materials were purchased and what the menu was. The canteen manager said, "General Manager Jiang, we change the menu once a week, purchase rice, flour and cooking oil once a month, meat every two or three days, and vegetables and fruits are delivered once a day to ensure freshness."
After learning about the situation, Jiang Yue thought for a while and concluded that there was no problem on his end and no need for improvement. Then, Jiang Yue asked the canteen manager to compile a list of the dishes that each chef could cook, and then asked Bai Ze to add a voting function to the APP. Employees could vote once a week, and with the total budget remaining unchanged, employees could decide the menu for each week.
After finishing, Jiang Yue announced the cafeteria reform on the management system and Xinghai APP. Then she would see if it would have any effect. If it didn't, she would have to consider the third option. Jiang Yue didn't want to fine everyone because she felt it was pointless. Would fining one or two people and deducting a hundred or two hundred yuan have any effect? In the long run, it wasn't a good approach.
Ultimately, it depends on the employees' self-discipline. Jiang Yue has also made up her mind that if there are any people who repeatedly fail to correct their mistakes and deliberately waste resources, she will not be lenient and will fire them directly and make them pay the amount due. This company cannot tolerate such people. You know, there are plenty of people who want to join the company now, and there are a lot of people lining up outside. We really don't lack people or talent.
After dealing with the issue of food waste in the cafeteria, Jiang Yue took a short nap. In the afternoon, the person in charge of Xinghai Supermarket came to report on the current progress. Most of the suppliers had been secured, and all products were being made according to the company's requirements. The people who went to Pang Donglai to learn from their experience had returned and were training employees and setting up salaries. All regulations and benefits were being benchmarked against Pang Donglai.
After all, Jiang Yue didn't build the supermarket to make a lot of money. A large part of the reason for starting the supermarket was to provide employment for the employees' families. Many employees' families didn't have good jobs, and their labor and compensation were completely disproportionate. The company didn't have enough positions to offer, so Jiang Yue had the idea of starting the supermarket.
After reporting his work, the person left. He was very busy with a lot of things to do. After he left, Jiang Yue slumped in her chair. She was done for the day. After get off work, Jiang Yue went to the cafeteria for lunch. Perhaps because of the notice given at noon, everyone ate very cleanly, and there was no longer the phenomenon of leaving a lot of food uneaten at noon.
After dinner, Jiang Yue went home. There was nothing much to do that night, and she didn't have to work. When she got home, her pet husky, Dou Dou, rushed towards her. Jiang Yue stopped and reached out to hug it. Goodness, it had gained a lot of weight recently, and its impact was even stronger. After playing with the dog for a while, Jiang Yue went inside.
After entering the house, Aunt Sun wanted to cook for Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue waved her hand and said, "Aunt Sun, no need, I ate at the company today."
Then he said to Aunt Sun, "Aunt Sun, Dou Dou has recently switched his meat to chicken and fish. He eats two-thirds of his usual dog food, and adds some vegetables to the remaining third. We also feed him fewer treats."
After resting at home for a while, I took it out for a walk to increase its exercise. When my parents came back, I emphasized to them again that we shouldn't give it any treats recently, because it's not healthy for a dog to be too fat.
The next morning, Jiang Yue got up early and took her dog for a run while the weather was cool. After returning home, she took a shower, ate breakfast, and went to the company. There were several meetings that day, from nine in the morning to noon, during which the group's tasks for the next quarter were arranged.
After lunch, the meetings continued in the afternoon, this time focusing on some details. After a full day of meetings, things were finally sorted out. After a busy day, Jiang Yue finally finished all the meetings. Back in her office, she stretched her tired body, checked the time, and realized it was already very late. She packed her things and went home.
Over the next month, Jiang Yue toured various departments. Although Bai Ze was there and could know the general situation, she still had to show her face and meet with the branch company leaders and employees. By October, she had visited all the companies. Most of the companies didn't have any major problems, but there were still quite a few minor issues. The remaining problems couldn't be solved by the system.
During the National Day holiday, the company gave everyone except a few departments a holiday. Those who didn't get a holiday were paid triple pay according to the statutory holiday rate. Jiang Yue wasn't idle either. Three supermarkets opened during the National Day holiday, and she had to be in charge. If there were any difficult issues, she would have to make the decisions.
The good thing is that the homework was copied very well, and the pre-holiday publicity was also done very well. The three days of the National Day holiday went very smoothly. Although some people made a few minor mistakes along the way, they were all newly trained employees. It was a busy holiday like National Day right from the start, so no one can say that anyone would be without making mistakes.
Actually, when they first started advertising and comparing themselves to Pang Donglai, not many people bought into it, because Pang Donglai hadn't become a big hit online yet. At least people in Jiangyue's province and city didn't know about it. But after the seven-day National Day holiday, not only did Xinghai Supermarket become popular, but Pang Donglai Supermarket also became a big hit much earlier than before.
People were curious: if Xinghai Supermarket's service was so good, how good was Pangdonglai Supermarket, which Xinghai Supermarket was learning from? Then, with Jiang Yue's help in buying trending topics, the two supermarkets started interacting. Locals from Pangdonglai Supermarket also began to share their experiences, and everyone realized that supermarkets could be run in this way. Looking at the supermarkets around their own neighborhoods, they were full of disdain.
After the National Day holiday, the number of people in the supermarket did not decrease much. Not to mention others, Xinghai's employees basically shop at their own supermarket now. After Xinghai Supermarket became popular, it was inevitable that it would take away the survival space of other supermarkets. This was unavoidable. The pie is only so big. If there are more people at the table to share the pie, others will get less. Then many supermarkets united to boycott Xinghai Supermarket.
