Chapter 474 Restaurant Account Settlement
Back in town, Wan Qiqi's life returned to normal.
Every morning I would get up early to collect wild vegetables, wander around and listen to the latest gossip in town, and then go to the restaurant to check on the staff.
Sometimes when you go out, you might run into people from all directions, and stand in the middle of the road to chat with the shopkeeper across the street.
Everything seemed harmonious.
Within two or three days, after receiving Chen Yongxing's letter, Wan Qiqi put the matter of meeting the girl at the alley entrance out of her mind and focused on running the restaurant.
Wan Qiqi thought that the profit figures for February should be available by now, and she wanted to take a good look at the restaurant's expenses and profits to determine the next steps.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw two or three waiters standing in front of the counter, pestering Liu Ji about his wages.
"Accountant Liu, do you think you could talk to the old man and ask him to give us a raise?"
"Yes! Those who deliver food get a fixed wage and also receive bonuses, while we who work ourselves to the bone in the restaurant only get our wages."
Liu Ji closed the ledger, looked up and carefully scanned the people in front of him, and said, "There are also tips in the restaurant. Just last month, Xiao Liuzi earned several hundred coins just from his share of tips. As long as you pay attention to your work, you can get some too."
“That’s different. Xiao Liu serves rich people and isn’t stingy with money.”
"That's right! The places we saw on the first floor were all small, inexpensive businesses. They were so stingy with their food that they complained it was too expensive. How could they possibly give tips?"
Liu Ji listened attentively to their words and said, "The kitchen staff also received a lot of tips, but they didn't come out to serve the guests."
"The restaurant has a rule that if a customer praises a dish and receives a tip, the kitchen staff also get paid. We can't compete with them on that!"
“They have skills that you can’t match,” Liu Ji said, glancing at Wan Qiqi at the door. He added in a deep voice, “If you really care about your wages, then do your job well and make the customers happy. The project time will naturally be longer!”
“Accountant Liu is right.” Wan Qiqi walked in.
The two or three waiters standing around immediately exchanged knowing glances, asking each other why they hadn't announced that Manager Wan had arrived.
How much of what was just said reached Manager Wan's ears?
Will she kick me out because of this?
The three men were in a state of panic, wanting to run away but not daring to make any rash moves.
Wan Qiqi glanced at the three of them and said, "If you want to extend the period, that's not impossible. If twenty customers are satisfied with your service and express their praise within a month, you can get an extra fifty coins. And so on, with no upper limit."
The three were delighted to hear this, but they also felt that it would be difficult to do this on the first floor.
The individual customers on the first floor generally have poor manners; many of them get drunk and start talking nonsense, and some even cause trouble.
Unlike the second floor, where the guests are all high-class and distinguished, requiring almost no service.
Someone boldly asked, "Manager Wan, could you be transferred to the second floor?"
"Want to go to the second floor?" Wan Qiqi asked, tilting her head.
The three of them immediately nodded.
“Sure, as long as you serve the guests well on the first floor and pass my and Manager Zhu’s tests, you can naturally go to the second floor.” Wan Qiqi paused to observe the three people’s reactions.
It's clear they are full of anticipation.
Wan Qiqi continued, "However, there is one thing I need to clarify. The guests on the second floor are all wealthy and powerful. If you do not serve them well and offend them, I will not show any mercy."
Her face was beaming with a smile, which grew brighter and brighter, but it sent chills down the spines of those who saw it.
They still remembered that last month, Xiao Liuzi made a small mistake that greatly displeased the customer. Without asking any questions, Manager Wan scolded Xiao Liuzi and made him apologize to the customer.
Thinking of this, these people had second thoughts and decided to just give up.
There are some customers that you can't afford to offend, and neither can the restaurant.
Wan Qiqi didn't waste words with these people, letting them go about their business. She walked to the counter and said, "From now on, let those who ask about wages bring it up with us themselves. If they pass the assessment, they can get a raise."
"Okay," Liu Ji replied, then said, "Si Xi has been transferred to the delivery department, and Xiao Liu on the second floor is too busy. Should we pick someone from the first floor to go up there?"
Wan Qiqi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do an assessment! If you're interested, go to the second floor and register. We'll then review these people's assessments over the past two months and select one from them."
"Okay." Liu Ji wrote this down on a blank sheet of paper.
"Where are last month's accounts?" Wan Qiqi glanced at the counter, seemingly not seeing February's accounts.
"Manager Zhu is already checking the accounts in the study on the second floor," Liu Ji replied earnestly, then smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen both owners of a restaurant check the accounts."
Wan Qiqi smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with it? It's better for everyone if we find out the truth."
Liu Ji nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that he didn't seem very happy, Wan Qiqi continued, "It's not that we doubt your abilities, it's just that when opening a restaurant, we naturally want to be cautious and also want to understand the current situation of the restaurant so that we can make subsequent plans."
"Yes, I know," Liu Ji replied, a faint smile curving his face.
“I remember the delivery bill. I’ll have you register it in another booklet. Take it, let’s go to the study.” Wan Qiqi said, turning to Xiao Liuzi who was passing by, “There are fewer customers now. You watch the counter and have Sixi go upstairs.”
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
Thus, Wan Qiqi led Liu Ji up to the study on the second floor.
Zhu Chengye was checking the accounts when the door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing the two people who came in, he asked with a puzzled look, "Qiqi, are you done with your work?"
