Chapter 465
At present, there are only three people who can skillfully prepare all kinds of meals in the kitchen: Su Yuanzheng, Su Yu and Jiang Fengyi, and Xiaoling, who is very skillful in making porridge.
Su Yuan was preparing to go to the capital with Su Miao to expand the territory, and the business of the head office would be handed over to Su Yu and Jiang Fengyi.
Su Ji Food Shop currently has a wide variety of dishes, including self-service porridge, fried pork offal, braised food, soups and porridge.
Although everything except porridge needs to be prepared before mealtime, the increasing number of customers puts the speed of food preparation in the kitchen under test.
In order to ease the pressure of serving food and give customers a better experience, it is time to add more staff in the kitchen.
But the kitchen is an important place, and people cannot be recruited casually. They have to go through layers of inspection and screening.
Su Miao prefers to recruit people who already have some basic knowledge, at least they should know something about kitchen work, otherwise it would be too time-consuming and laborious to train them.
On the other hand, we must not keep "old hands" who are too slippery and difficult to manage.
When they start working, it is best to recruit them as waiters.
Let the newcomers start with the basic work of external services to familiarize themselves with the environment and procedures in the store. It will also be convenient for Su Miao and others to carefully observe their words and deeds in their daily work, and evaluate whether their behavior is correct and whether they really meet the job requirements of a kitchen helper.
This plan was completed before Su Miao took the college entrance examination, but because of the preparation for the exam, the actual implementation was handed over to Su Yuanzheng and others.
Jiang Fengyi carefully selected from his network of connections and recommended a young man in his early twenties and a young man in his thirties.
The young man Meng Sui has been his neighbor for many years and used to work in logistics for a state-owned company.
The treatment there is very good and the work is relatively leisurely, so Xi likes to prepare some delicious meals for himself.
Because Jiang Fengyi lives alone, I often invite him to my house for dinner and drinks, and we interact very closely in daily life.
Jiang Fengyi is quite confident in his character and skills. Although he is not a formal chef, he has a good understanding and can understand things quickly.
Last year, the company restructured and Meng Sui was laid off. He then went to work in a noodle shop, which led him to the kitchen work in the catering industry.
As soon as Jiang Fengyi said the store needed people, he immediately recommended himself. Now Su Ji is considered a famous store in Nancheng, and he is so happy to be able to work there~
Another Yang Hao is also a veteran. He used to be in the kitchen team. He is best at making big pot meals and making the most of limited ingredients in various complex environments.
He looks carefree and unconcerned about details, but he is actually very considerate. When Jiang Fengyi first entered the military camp, he received a lot of care from Yang Hao.
Later, on the brutal battlefield, Yang Hao was unfortunately injured in the leg by a bomb. Although he received a long period of treatment after being evacuated, he still suffered sequelae and walked with a slight limp, but fortunately it did not affect his normal movement.
After leaving the army, he used his demobilization pay to settle down in Yongcheng, where he helped his father-in-law with carpentry work.
He also has a brother-in-law who is much younger than him. He is also 20 years old this year. He has taken the college entrance examination for four consecutive years, but unfortunately failed every time.
This year's results were worse than in previous years. My brother-in-law was discouraged and completely gave up on the college entrance examination. He planned to go home and learn carpentry from his father.
As a result, Yang Hao's situation at his father-in-law's house became somewhat awkward.
The brother-in-law wants to inherit the family business. If he works too hard, he is afraid that his wife's family will misunderstand him and think he is trying to "seize the throne"; but if he does not work hard enough, he will inevitably cause dissatisfaction.
He also gets paid for working for his father-in-law, and he is not allowed to negotiate on the salary. He just takes whatever his father-in-law gives him. In fact, it is no different from working outside.
After much deliberation, Yang Hao and his wife decided to find other work outside. At least the salary would be more certain and they wouldn't have to worry so much about the work.
He had mentioned this matter to his comrades during a previous gathering, and asked them to help introduce him if there was a good opportunity. So when Jiang Fengyi wanted to recruit people, he thought of him.
In addition to Meng Sui and Yang Hao, there were three others who entered the store for trial work at the same time.
Among them was a girl named Zhang Qiang, who lived in the alley behind the store.
The Su family has settled here for several years and is very familiar with the people and things in this area.
Zhang Qiang usually gets along well with Su Hui, and Su Miao also thinks she is nice, diligent and smart. It happened that Zhang Qiang was looking for a job at that time, so Su Miao took the opportunity to ask her to come to the store for a try.
Several people entered the store in May. Su Miao specially set up a two-month probation period. During this period, he conducted a comprehensive assessment of them from multiple dimensions such as work attitude, professional ability, and teamwork.
By July, after careful consideration, they had roughly determined the candidates for training, and Meng Sui, Yang Hao and Zhang Qiang were successfully retained.
After that, there was another month of adjustment and in-depth investigation.
Now, they have been in the store for three months. During this period, the three of them have been performing very well, with impeccable work efficiency and quality.
Su Yuanzheng and Su Miao saw this and were delighted. They felt that it was time to slowly let them get involved in kitchen help.
According to Su Miao's current plan, he intends to let them study different subjects.
For example, Zhang Qiang learned how to cook porridge from the experienced Xiaoling, while Meng Sui studied the art of stewing soup from Jiang Fengyi.
As for Yang Hao, because he was experienced, he asked him to follow Su Yu and learn how to stir-fry pork offal and various dishes needed in the restaurant.
For now, only Su Yu and Jiang Fengyi have access to the braised food. Before Su Miao and his father set off for the capital, they will prepare enough packets of ingredients and leave them behind.
This is also related to Su Miao's future branch plan. She wants to open a branch, but she feels that there is no need to copy the model of the main store one-to-one.
Branches can specialize in the expansion of certain sectors, such as opening a Su Ji Food Store - a braised pork offal store in the West District, opening a Su Ji Food Store - a warm porridge store in the East District, and opening a Su Ji Food Store - a nourishing and health-preserving soup store in the North District.
This approach can be more flexible and reduce management and operational difficulties.
The talent training process emphasizes a gradual approach, starting with the most basic cutting and preparing work of a kitchen helper, taking one step at a time, and then gradually going deeper when the time is right.
During this process, if someone is found to have ideological deviations or bad signs, the training plan can be abandoned after evaluating the situation.
Su Miao felt that the talent market was now abundant and there were a large number of human resources to choose from, so if he had to choose, he would choose the best.
Compared with other self-employed business owners, the treatment and benefits currently offered by Su Ji are among the best in the industry.
The store does not have the old-fashioned bad atmosphere where senior employees suppress new employees, and it has also established a complete promotion system.
If someone still has disloyalty in such an environment and cannot identify with and feel a sense of belonging to the store, then just change people.
