The group looked at each other for a while before someone finally spoke.
"Sister He, is the fast food restaurant where you work hiring? What do you think of us?"
Although Aunt He is a bit old, she reacted quickly and immediately thought of the documentary "Visiting Fast Food Restaurants" that aired on the local TV station in Shanghai last night.
I saw them in a documentary last night, sitting in the very center of the shop.
"That's not up to me; it's up to the manager," Aunt He said after a moment's thought. "It seems the shop is only hiring chefs and helpers right now, and they need to be full-time."
Upon hearing that it was only a full-time position, the six women immediately showed disappointment. They had been hoping to work a few hours at noon like Aunt He, earn some pocket money, and have a free lunch.
"If it's a full-time job, how long do you have to work?" someone asked curiously.
"From six in the morning to two in the afternoon, that's exactly eight hours," Aunt He said truthfully.
If you include commuting time, you have to get up at 5:30 and leave at 5:40 to arrive before 6:00.
Although I'm older now and sleep less, it's not to the point that I can't fall asleep until 5 a.m. every day!
"Never mind." The group sighed. "We'll go with you. You go to work, and we'll go get some food."
The group followed Aunt He out, muttering to themselves – this Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is rated as a high-quality fast food restaurant by the local TV station in Shanghai. We've seen what their kitchen looks like on TV, and even their sourcing channels are crystal clear. It's very legitimate and healthy!
Unexpectedly, the group was startled to see that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was packed with people, both inside and out.
The last time I came here, this shop was not crowded at all, it was very deserted!
Liang Dani was responsible for greeting customers at the entrance and leading them to store number three, but there were too many customers. As soon as one group left, another group would arrive, and she was a little overwhelmed.
The group stood at the door for a while and finally figured out what was going on. They looked at each other and then suddenly turned around and walked towards store number two.
"Mr. Xu, your shop is doing really well today, every seat is taken!" The group first praised Xu An, then started pointing out the problems: "But I see that your shop is seriously understaffed. Many customers have finished eating and left without anyone clearing their plates, there's only one person serving food, there's a long queue outside, and we can't even keep up with washing all the dishes."
"Boss, you're really short-staffed! How about a few of us?" Finally, the group revealed their purpose.
Xu An recognized the group of people; they were He Gu's friends and had come to the shop to see He Gu just a few days ago.
Looking down at their hands, I noticed that their knuckles were quite large, suggesting they had done a lot of farm work when they were younger. However, judging from the condition of their skin, they hadn't done any hard labor for many years.
Six people. The store is indeed short-staffed right now, but we don't need six people.
Moreover, the store needs full-time staff who can come to help in the morning; the purpose of hiring is to solve the problem of the kitchen being too busy.
Seeing that Xu An remained silent for a long time, and recalling what Aunt He had just said about the shop needing full-time staff, the group knew roughly what Xu An was thinking.
“Boss Xu, how about this? There are six of us, so we can split into two groups, each working four hours a day, taking turns. That would be equivalent to three full-time workers, right?” As he spoke, the man looked at Aunt He and said, “We are all Aunt He’s relatives and friends. Aren’t you afraid that we will cause any trouble? We just want to come and earn some pocket money.”
It seemed to make a lot of sense. The three of them were busy in the kitchen during the first half of the day, and in the second half they were responsible for serving dishes and clearing away plates in the restaurant. The division of labor was clear.
“Okay!” Xu An nodded in agreement.
"Boss, does today count as working? Is lunch paid for by the shop or by myself?" one of them asked.
"This meal is on the restaurant's paycheck today. You guys go eat first, and then you can go back to work!"
The six of them happily went to store number one to get their food, and after eating at store number three, they got back to work.
The two took over Zhou Qi's job of serving food. They were responsible for collecting plates and other tasks at the No. 1 and No. 3 stores, respectively, while the remaining two helped in the kitchen.
With the arrival of the six people, the tense situation of staff in the store was finally relieved.
Xu An muttered to himself, "Neither of the two agencies I found are very reliable. It's been so many days and I haven't found a single person."
Or is it that you haven't cast enough nets? Do you need to cast more nets and hire more intermediary companies?
