59 Running-in debugging
After finalizing the financial matters, Xiao Feng felt relieved. With Katya helping to look after the finances, he felt confident. Except for Shang Zhenye, who was the chef, Zhou Jing and Lin Zhengguo both had their own uses, and they were not specialized.
Xiao Feng was still worried about finding financial talents from outside, so placing Katya in this position was the last piece of the puzzle for the company's organizational structure.
In the afternoon, Xiao Lin and Lao Shang came back in a cart from a kitchenware manufacturer. They brought back a series of kitchenware, all of which were custom-made stainless steel kitchenware sets for the kitchen, specially customized according to the size of the kitchen.
Many people from the manufacturer also came over. When they arrived at the location, they unloaded the truck and started installation. They were busy until midnight before the installation was completed. The most troublesome thing was the barbecue kitchen utensils on the basement floor.
This barbecue kitchen utensil is different from the barbecue stoves at street stalls. It is a large cabinet-like iron box, which is somewhat similar to the ovens in European and American households, but it is an enlarged version, and it is not an electric oven, but a natural gas oven.
There are countless circular drawers on the oven. When the time comes, the meat to be roasted is cut into long strips and put into special baking utensils. It is then placed in the drawer and then rotated to bake. There is also an observation window on the drawer to see the meat inside.
Baking conditions.
After the meat is cooked, it is skewered with a special large iron skewer, and then transported to the third floor via the elevator. The waiters on the third floor then take turns slicing and delivering the meat, basically following the Brazilian barbecue model.
Among the entire set of kitchen utensils, this large barbecue cabinet is the most expensive, costing nearly one million. Because there are not many styles on the market, this barbecue cabinet was specially designed and customized by Xiao Feng and others.
After the entire set of kitchen equipment was installed, the trial began the next day. During this time, Xiao Lin, Zhou Jing, and Lao Shang all recruited chefs and began trial production of these new kitchen utensils.
All the cooked meals were tasted by the decoration workers. After the chefs inspected the use of the kitchen utensils, they were all very satisfied. Because Xiao Feng did not bargain with the kitchen utensil factory at all, so the kitchen utensil factory worked very carefully.
Whether it's the design or the materials used, after all, there aren't many big customers like Xiao Feng and the others these days.
And people also said that they are a fast food chain. If this restaurant becomes popular, they will open branches. So for the sake of long-term business, how can this manufacturer dare to fool around?
In the next few days, the recruited waiters began to arrive one after another, and the customized dining tables and chairs began to arrive one after another. The decoration progressed quickly and entered the finishing stage. Zhou Jing organized the on-duty waiters to start cleaning.
Conduct business training.
On the other hand, Xiao Feng and the alien chef also began to study the menus created by celebrity chefs. Because it is a fast food industry, unlike home-cooked restaurants, the chefs do not need to make too many dishes, so they only need to make some basic fast food meal menus.
That’s it.
There are currently many Chinese fast food restaurants in Bincheng, and they come in various forms. Xiao Feng decided to adopt the model of a certain village base. Combining his own advantages, he quickly formulated a menu with several chefs, and mainly recommended a few.
Braised beef brisket rice bowl, potato beef rice, braised pork rice, pork chop rice, or braised beef brisket noodles, sauerkraut shredded pork noodles, plus several local favorites such as seafood rice and seafood noodles.
The beef he brought from another world had already been put into the cold storage. Xiaolin was responsible for purchasing this area, and he also began to order some vegetables and seafood from several large vegetable sellers in several large wholesale farmers' markets in the area.
, and some small amounts of pigs, chickens, ducks and other raw materials.
The inventory was in place one after another, and Xiao Feng asked the chefs to start making meals according to the prepared menu. However, Xiao Feng was particularly willing to spend money when it came to the regulations on the materials to be used.
If a fast food restaurant wants to be an instant hit, decoration, taste, publicity, etc. are all auxiliary means. The core key is the quality of your food.
Xiao Feng is not worried about the taste, but Bincheng is a northern city, and the habit here is that the food should be generous. When Xiao Feng was working in the capital, he had eaten countless fast food, Western fast food, and Chinese fast food.
, almost everyone with a bit of fame was eaten by him.
He himself is a carnivore, so he almost ate all the meat-based dishes in every restaurant. After tasting them, he found that every one of these fast food restaurants was extremely evil.
A portion of braised beef brisket rice starts at around RMB 18. With a few side dishes and a drink, it can cost you more than RMB 20. But when the rice is served, you will often be so angry that you will curse, as shown in the store's promotional picture
The braised beef brisket rice is so tempting. The large chunks of beef brisket are covered in a thick layer on top of the rice, making people salivate just by looking at it.
But when the meal is served, you will find that the reality is really too skinny. You can count the number of beef briskets with a palm. They are pitifully small and dark and you don’t know how long they have been there.
Most of them are cheap side dishes like potatoes and carrots, plus the dark sauce. One bite will make you question your life.
After being deceived countless times, Xiao Feng gave up on these dishes branded as beef brisket. They were expensive and unpalatable!
And now that he has opened a fast food restaurant, what does he need to do if he wants to carve out a way out of the highly competitive industry? Taste is on the one hand, and quantity and quality must definitely beat his peers. This is the key. After all, Chinese people are very interested in affordability.
One thing is very important.
So after discussing with the chefs in the store, he set the following rules, that is, the amount of beef in each beef brisket rice and beef brisket noodles must not be less than two taels. According to the size of the cuts, it is defined as
Each portion has between eight and ten pieces of meat. This rule has confused the chefs and several managers.
What is the boss going to do? Is he crazy? Is he planning to open a charity shop? If he does this, will this fast food restaurant still be profitable?
If this store continues to operate like this, it won't be long before this store goes bankrupt! But Xiao Feng doesn't care what they think. To these chefs, the boss is a waste of money, but to him, this is his store.
The key to being able to stand in the fiercely competitive catering industry is that his beef has no cost anyway, so cost pressure is not considered at all.
Of course, in order to appease people's hearts, he still asked Katya to make a budget based on the market price. If beef was purchased in large quantities, according to the market price, which is the cost price of twenty-five yuan per pound, one pound of beef would cost five fast food meals.
That is to say, the cost of beef alone for each fast food is RMB 5, and after factoring in the costs of other ingredients, labor, water, electricity, taxes, etc., the cost of a serving of beef brisket rice is RMB 10 to RMB 12, and it sells for RMB 18.
For one serving, you can still make a profit of six to eight yuan.
Of course, this is mainly because he has no rent costs. If he rents a house, the cost of a meal may be fifteen yuan. If other fast food dares to do this, the final result will definitely be cool, but he
There must be no problem with this, because his beef cost is zero.
In the end, Xiao Feng used this excuse to convince Xiao Lin, Lao Shang, Zhou Jing, and a group of chefs.
After controlling the quantity, the next step is to talk about quality. The quality of the food is the taste. Whether a fast food is delicious or not is the key to whether the fast food can operate and grow in the long term.
The quality of food in other fast food restaurants must be controlled by chefs. Relying on the chef's many years of experience, they have developed a set that best caters to the tastes of most consumers. The key is to be salty and salty. After all, fast food cannot taste other flavors.
But for Xiao Feng, his pursuit of fast food cannot be just that. These days, after the chefs get off work, he hides alone in the kitchen of the hotel and takes out mushroom powder and several other ingredients, such as ten
Mix three spices and the like, and then seal and package them according to the number of grams.
The packaged seasoning packets are distributed to each chef, and then when making meals, each fast food is required to use one 'secret' ingredient packet, and then use some other ingredients appropriately depending on the dish.
Seasonings, but the use of other seasonings has also been stipulated in quantity, accurate to grams, so as not to cover up the magical taste of mushroom powder.
At the beginning, the chefs didn't quite understand the boss's method, but when they followed Xiao Feng's request and made meals using mushroom powder like this, after trying it, these guys were all conquered by the boss's unique 'secret' formula.
.
It’s really delicious. A bag of simple yellow powder ingredients can actually make this simple meal emit such an attractive aroma. It’s even more amazing and lingering after eating it. Such an experience is beyond compare.
Something the chefs have never experienced before.
Especially after the decoration workers tried the prepared meals, the results were even more extraordinary. A group of decoration workers who had eaten countless fast food all said that they had never eaten such delicious fast food in their lives.
And they all said that if this store can maintain such weight and taste when it opens in the future, they will definitely come to support it and become the most loyal fans of this fast food restaurant.
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with the feedback from the tasting. Fast food was enough. As for the barbecue and self-service shabu-shabu upstairs, it was even simpler. For the shabu-shabu, Xiao Feng simply and crudely copied the model of Wang Chuanxi store, providing a large number of
Dishes such as tripe and yellow throat are relatively expensive in professional hot pot restaurants. For barbecue, the meat to be grilled is directly marinated with mushroom powder seasoning.
After several experiments, the roasted meat was very tasty and fragrant. It was absolutely different from ordinary barbecues. The varieties that were prepared for tasting soon conquered most of the barbecue chefs invited.
