In addition, the layout of the hall has also been changed. Tables are no longer crowded in the entire hall, but each table is separated by a small screen, as if each table has a separate small compartment.
There are not many changes on the second floor. The original design of the second floor was an ancient-style box.
Song Shiwei simply gave each box a name.
Names like Mengzhuxuan, Momeige, Gaoshengtang, Fengxianju, and Xiangruiyuan sound elegant.
The top of the wooden corridor is decorated with a lot of snow gauze, and colorful lights are hidden in the snow gauze, making the entire second floor look like a dream.
Huang Bo was actually very shocked. He really didn't expect that Song Shiwei could transform the restaurant into a completely new look in just three days.
When he saw the front desk staff doing their jobs and everything was in order, for some reason, he suddenly seemed to have rekindled his hope for this restaurant.
I was directing people to put the dry ice to be used tomorrow under the rockery at the door when I saw Huang Bo coming.
"Chef Huang? Why are you here?"
Huang Bo looked at her, opened his mouth, and suddenly his old face turned red.
"Well, Boss Song, I'm sorry. I wasn't very nice to you at first because I thought this restaurant was hopeless. I thought you had the same idea as me and were just here to get by. But I didn't expect that since you came, the restaurant has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past three days. I see your dedication to this restaurant, and I also want to work hard. After all, this restaurant will also give me dividends at the end of the year.
"So, I came here this time to sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can forgive my previous disrespect."
In fact, during these three days, Song Shiwei didn't mean to leave him out on purpose. Although she had this thought, she was really busy and couldn't spare the time.
As for why he has been training the front-of-house waiters and ignoring the kitchen, it is actually because Song Shiwei understands that every chef has his own rules in the kitchen.
She wouldn't destroy anything easily, and who said she ignored the kitchen?
She would order different dishes for three meals a day and eat with the front desk staff.
It can also be regarded as a disguised way to see Huang Bo's true strength.
In three days, she had tried almost all the dishes in the restaurant.
To be honest, Huang Bo is worthy of being the chef of the former state-owned restaurant, and his cooking skills are really good.
Especially the signature dishes are very good.
As for why the business is not good, Song Shiwei also made a summary. One reason is the environment. People nowadays pursue fashion. They used to be used to being poor, so now the more gorgeous and luxurious something is, the more attractive it is.
Feeling proud.
This is also one of the main reasons why Fenglai Pavilion’s business is so good.
Who wouldn't want to go to a nice place when the big bosses invite them to dinner? To make themselves look good?
However, Zui Xiaoyao’s ancient-style decoration lacks distinctive features and is not attractive enough in comparison.
Another thing is that she has seen that many of the dishes at Zui Xiaoyao are the same as those at Fenglai Pavilion, and the prices are almost the same.
This is also the reason why its business is not doing well.
After all, with the same price and the same dishes, why wouldn’t they go to a hotel that looks more upscale?
In this way, Zui Xiaoyao will lose its competitiveness.
There has been no business for a long time and the service staff are lazy.
It will make Zui Xiaoyao's situation even worse.
If this continues, it will become a vicious cycle.
There was no marketing strategy in this era.
Therefore, Song Shiwei plans to add some marketing methods.
Eat one portion and get one free. The free portion is not for this time, but for next time, so that customers can come to the store again.
As for the gift, she will also hold a raffle the next time you visit the store. The prizes will be vouchers, which can be used to pay for the next time you visit the store.
From the first day, she will also assign a task to the waiters, which is to promote membership recharge activities.
Recharge ten yuan and get one yuan free, recharge thirty yuan and get five yuan free, recharge fifty yuan and get ten yuan free, recharge one hundred yuan and get fifty yuan free, recharge two hundred yuan and get eighty yuan free, recharge three hundred yuan and get one hundred yuan free, recharge five hundred yuan and get one hundred and fifty yuan free!
The more you charge, the more you get!
Anyway, it makes you feel that becoming a member means saving money!
Membership card activities allow restaurants to recover some funds in advance and also encourage customers to come back to the store for repeated consumption. It seems that there is a discount and customers feel that they have gotten a bargain, but the merchants are still the ones who make profits in the end.
And as long as the food is delicious, the price is reasonable, and the environment is unique, customers will still be willing to come and eat.
In fact, if Huang Bo didn't come to see her this time, Song Shiwei would have a chat with him later, after all, the business would start tomorrow.
She has to arrange everything.
"Chef Huang, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a small matter. I don't take it to heart!"
After hearing her say this, Huang Bo's heart was finally at ease.
"Then tomorrow..."
Song Shi smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you, your cooking skills are truly amazing, the food is delicious and tasty! You are worthy of being the chef of the former state-owned restaurant!"
Everyone likes to hear nice words, especially when Huang Bo heard Song Shiwei praising him, his old face was as bright as a flower, and his face was full of wrinkles with smile.
But he felt a little embarrassed, rubbing his hands and laughing, "Oh, Boss Song, you're too polite. I've been dealing with pots and pans all my life, and if there's anything I can show off, it's my cooking skills!"
"You're too modest. The food is indeed delicious!" Song Shiwei finished speaking, frowning slightly. "It's just that I noticed that the menu of our Zui Xiaoyao seems to be similar to that of Fenglai Pavilion! The dishes are the same, the prices are the same. In this way, there is definitely no competitive advantage!"
Huang Bo's face turned a little ugly when he heard her say that.
"Actually, the chef at Fenglai Pavilion is my apprentice from the state-owned restaurant. I taught him all his dishes, so naturally, they taste just like mine!"
That was his most proud apprentice. The kid was also talented, and he had taught him all his life's work.
But everyone has their own aspirations, and he couldn't stop him from changing jobs. After all, if a person doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He also understood that he wanted to make money, he wanted fame, and he wanted a better future.
He couldn't stop it, nor did he want to stop it, but he couldn't suppress the disappointment in his heart, because the place he was going to was Fenglai Pavilion.
He knew very well that Zui Xiaoyao would give him a share of the profits and he was counting on it for retirement, but he didn't care at all, just because Fenglai Pavilion paid a high salary, and if he did well, he could become famous and have a good future for himself.
Whenever Huang Bo thought of him, he felt uncomfortable.
This was also the first time Song Shiwei heard about this. It turned out that the chef of Fenglai Pavilion was Chef Huang's apprentice.
No wonder the dishes are all the same.
In that case, the dishes must be changed!
"Chef Huang, I'd like to change our signature dish. What do you think?"
