Chapter 551
As soon as the man walked in, he went straight to the cashier and said excitedly, "Little sister! I want to order cooked food!"
The voice is full of uncontrollable excitement
Su Miao recognized him immediately and said with a smile, "Hello, comrade. Nice to meet you again. Were you satisfied with the set meal you ordered earlier?"
The man nodded vigorously and said excitedly:
"Satisfied, satisfied! Absolutely satisfied! My partner raved about it after trying it! Later, my parents-in-law also tried it, and the whole family was very satisfied. We have now unanimously decided to order the dishes for the wedding banquet from you."
When Su Miao heard that there was a big order coming in, he was filled with joy and asked quickly:
"That's great! Thank you for your approval! How much food would you like to order? Do you want us to deliver it to your door, or would you like to pick it up yourself?
This information must be registered in detail so that we can make all preparations in advance."
The man cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I came here today to discuss something with you. Can you rent out your restaurant for us?"
"Book the entire theater?" Su Miao was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of surprise.
"Yes, can I hold my wedding banquet in your store? I'll pay! I'll rent the whole place! Just a few hours at noon."
Su Miao shook his head subconsciously, looking embarrassed, and explained:
"But our family mainly serves fast food, not the kind of restaurant that serves traditional banquets. Look, the restaurant is full of small square tables and long tables. I'm afraid it's not suitable for a wedding banquet."
She had never thought that someone would rent out a fast food restaurant for a wedding banquet.
The man explained, "It's okay! Usually everyone entertains at home, but my mother-in-law loves her daughter and asked me to do it in a more decent way so that I can look good in front of my relatives.
We scheduled our wedding on the spur of the moment, and after looking for several restaurants, all the smaller private rooms were already occupied."
Su Miao said, "The hotel's public dining area, which is in the lobby, should be fine. Arranging the tables together is also a good idea. I've seen many people arrange it this way."
The man shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm going to invite about thirty relatives and friends to have a drink, so there are only three round tables. The hotel did say that we can arrange it in the hall.
But my partner disagrees! She says it's too noisy in the hall with so many strangers around, and it's too uncomfortable.
Last time I came to your house to buy food, I saw that you can seat more than 30 people. If you can reserve the whole place for us, it would be more comfortable than a private room in a restaurant."
Su Miao understood that the bride wanted quality service, but time was too tight. All the private rooms in the hotel were booked out, and the groom was anxious to find a place.
"This...but we don't have this business at the moment. Besides, if you want to hold a wedding banquet, there will be a lot of dishes on the table, and we can't satisfy you!" Su Miao said hesitantly, feeling that this business was not easy to do.
"It's okay. My partner said that the main dishes you have are already decent enough. If you add one meat dish, three vegetables, and two cold dishes, it will be ten dishes, perfect. Don't worry, I can afford it."
"this……"
"Little sister! Please give us some slack. We are both from other places. You should know that it is not easy for us outsiders to marry a wife from Beijing.
I pursued them for a long time before the Yue family finally relented. If I get stuck at the wedding banquet, it will be difficult later."
The man looked sincere, his words full of helplessness and pleading.
Although the man spoke sincerely, Su Miao was not easily moved.
When opening a business, the bottom line is that you cannot lose money, and you cannot blindly agree to something just because the other party is in trouble.
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "How do we arrange so many dishes? How do we charge for so many dishes?"
The man gestured with his hands and said excitedly: "This is easy, just put these tables together and arrange them neatly in two rows, just like eating Western food!
I'll buy some beautiful tablecloths when the time comes. Hey! My partner likes this simple and stylish style.
Let's set the time period from 12 noon to 3 pm. How about giving you 500 yuan?
This price is even higher than a banquet at an ordinary restaurant!"
Five hundred yuan? Su Miao's heart skipped a beat; this price was indeed very tempting.
Adjusting the scope of business is a big deal, so I still need to consider it carefully. I smiled and said to the man:
"Your suggestion is quite interesting, but I need to discuss it with my father. After all, he has to make all the important decisions in the store. We will definitely give you a definite answer tomorrow."
In the evening, when Su Yuanzheng heard this, he felt that he could take the order for 500 yuan!
"Miao Miao, I think it's okay. We'll just have to sacrifice the dine-in business for one day. On that day, Meng Sui and I will prepare early.
We usually receive hundreds of guests at noon, so a banquet for more than 30 people is not difficult, and the dishes are our specialties.
It only takes up space for dine-in customers, so the lunch box business at the construction site won't be affected. I can let Fang Zheng deliver the goods as usual, and he can earn an extra hundred yuan from this meal!"
Since his father thought it was feasible, Su Miao naturally had no objection and said:
"Okay, then when this guest named Dong comes tomorrow, you can discuss the details with him.
It would be best if he paid the full amount first. If that's not possible, at least 60% should be paid first. If he only pays 60%, he must sign an agreement that clearly stipulates that if he breaks the contract, he must pay three times the penalty.
Also, if we do reach an agreement, we'll have to put up a notice at the entrance of the store in the next few days to let our regular customers know that we'll be closed at noon that day, so we don't let any customers run away."
Su Yuanzheng responded confidently: "Okay, don't worry, Dad will take care of it."
On Tuesday, Su Miao called home from the school canteen to ask his father about the progress of the matter.
"We've already agreed to add a dish of steamed pork with rice flour to the main course. This dish takes a little longer to prepare, but it's not very labor-intensive. Just steam it in a large steamer and serve it on plates later."
They would stir-fry three seasonal vegetables, and then make refreshing cold dishes like smashed cucumber and tofu with scallions. They were also responsible for purchasing other drinks, fruits, candies, and cakes themselves.
The customer has already paid 60% of the money and signed the agreement. I also carefully looked at his ID card and wrote down the number.
Yesterday I made an excuse to send him home, and took the opportunity to visit his yard, which is not far from our home.
Although the house is rented, it has a color TV and a refrigerator, and the living conditions seem pretty good, so this should be a safe deal." Su Yuan was reporting to his daughter in an orderly manner.
"Okay, he's having a banquet this weekend, so I can go back and help!"
