45 Made by Celebrity Chefs
Xiao Lin used to work as a real estate agent. Although he did not build houses, he still knew many decoration companies. After all, he had often sold his client list to decoration companies.
Otherwise, many homeowners who have just bought a house will immediately receive a call from the decoration company. Where did the phone information leak from? Of course it was a real estate agent like Xiao Lin.
Early the next morning, Xiao Lin brought Xiao Feng a designer from a decoration company. Before coming, Xiao Lin communicated with Xiao Feng on the phone. He carefully selected this designer from the decoration companies he had contacted before.
A very reliable designer came out.
Although Xiao Lin has never done any decoration work before, he has dealt with people from decoration companies. Many of his customers even go to those decoration companies to decorate their houses, so which decoration company is reliable and which one is not?
He knew the spectrum clearly.
There are several large-scale decoration companies on the market in Bencheng. They do seem to be relatively formal, but the prices are not generally expensive. Although they claim that the drawings are free of charge, in fact they will deduct money from the final decoration.
Such decoration companies are generally only responsible for producing drawings, and the later decoration work is usually subcontracted to those decoration guerrillas. They are only responsible for supervising the work.
For example, if a designer says that a certain material should be used when renovating a certain place, but the customer doesn't understand it, when the decoration team goes to purchase it, they will often purchase low-quality and high-priced materials and make a profit from the difference.
Either they change the drawings for you in the middle of the decoration, or they say the budget is not enough and ask for an increase in the budget. Anyway, it can make the customer angry and helpless. In the end, in order to move into the new home as soon as possible, he just
Accept their gangster terms.
In order to show his own value, Xiao Lin certainly would not lead Xiao Feng into such a pit of fire, so after he went back to resign yesterday, he kept thinking about the decoration companies he had contacted at home, and finally chose this one.
This decoration company is not one of the large decoration companies located in the main urban area of Bincheng, but a small decoration design company in Jincheng District. The designer returned home from a professional design company in Beijing to start a business. He has strong design capabilities and very good decoration skills.
He is diligent and has a good reputation in the industry. It is rare to hear that he cheats customers.
So I brought Xiao Feng here early in the morning. Fortunately, there are still several offices available in the attic on the top floor of this store. Xiao Feng met here with the designer and owner of the famous city design company, Li
Famous city.
After a few brief conversations with Li Mingcheng, Xiao Feng could tell that this designer was an honest person, because he was also afraid of being cheated. He had been participating in several large professional decoration forums for a long time.
Soaked for a while.
I have seen many people posting tips about the most easily deceived points in decoration, and when I was talking to this Li Mingcheng today, I deliberately pretended not to understand and tried it out. If this Li Mingcheng deliberately tried to deceive him, he would definitely talk to him.
Talking nonsense and using nonsense to trick him into jumping into the trap.
But after a conversation, Li Mingcheng not only explained to him in detail the problem he raised, but also gave him many solutions, such as using certain materials in a certain place, etc., all of which were in line with the professional experts in the hot posts on the forum.
The answers were similar, and they really didn't cheat him, which gave him confidence in Li Mingcheng.
"Okay, I'm very satisfied with Designer Li's professionalism. Now let's talk about the effects I expect from the decoration of this hotel."
Xiao Feng expressed his satisfaction. Not only Lin Zhengguo was very proud, but Li Mingcheng was also very excited at this time. This was a big customer. He just took a look at the store and roughly estimated the area. If this job
Winning it is a big job, and the customer must be satisfied.
"My store, on the first and second floors, plans to be a chain of fast food. Instead of joining other domestic brands, I want to create a new brand myself, which is Chinese fast food. The name is called Made by Celebrity Chefs! The first floor is
, you plan for me an operation room of 50 to 100 square meters, an open kitchen, so that customers can see the process of making our food, instead of the covert kitchen model of other domestic Chinese fast food, so the oil fumes
The processing is very critical. We also need to design a barbecue shabu-shabu buffet restaurant on the third floor. You can make me a cold storage on the second underground floor. Because the hotel is not small, the inventory is relatively large. I want to make it a self-service barbecue shabu-shabu restaurant on the underground floor.
The barbecue area must be well ventilated and remove oil fumes, and then design an elevator for me to go directly to the third floor. As for the attic..."
Xiao Feng told the designer his ideas. Li Mingcheng took a small notebook and carefully wrote down all Xiao Feng's ideas. Then, under the leadership of Xiao Feng, he ran upstairs and downstairs for several times.
During this trip, the data was specially measured.
After working hard all morning, Xiao Feng insisted on treating him to lunch. Li Mingcheng went back after eating. Before leaving, he said to Xiao Feng: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I have recently transferred other work to others."
, and then we will organize a small team to design your store specifically according to your requirements. You give me a week, and then I will give you several drawings for you to choose."
Xiao Feng waved his hand with satisfaction and motioned for him to get busy.
Li Mingcheng left the hotel with a heavy sense of mission. He estimated that this business would cost several million. If the standard was higher, it might even exceed 10 million. This would definitely be the largest business he would take over after returning to Bincheng.
One business deal.
Moreover, Mr. Xiao said that he opened a fast food restaurant. If it does well in the future, he will open branches and even recruit investors and franchises across the country. What does this mean?
This means that the decoration standards of at least a few, and at most hundreds of fast food restaurants are all his own handiwork. If a fast food restaurant does well and opens branches, will his business be less?
So on his way back, he held a conference call all the way back, handed over all the work at hand to other designers in the company, and then made an appointment with a few old friends in Beijing. Such design work,
It would definitely not be possible to complete it within a week with the manpower in his company, and although his old friends in the capital also have their own jobs, they are not opposed to doing private work to make some extra money. These people are the real masters.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Lin returned to the company in the afternoon, and Xiao Feng took out the design trademark of the fast food restaurant. This trademark is composed of four small seal Chinese characters made by a famous chef, arranged up and down. It is square and looks a bit like a seal, but it has a unique
The strange beauty was something Xiao Feng racked his brains to come up with.
After taking out the trademark, Xiao Feng explained Xiao Lin's next work. First, go to the industrial and commercial registration. In recent years, the Bincheng government has stepped up its efforts to clean up officialdom and improve the business environment. It has also set up a special government affairs hall to handle many industrial and commercial tax matters.
Everything can be handled in one stop.
Xiao Feng asked Xiao Lin to run these trivial tasks and try to register the company as soon as possible. Xiao Lin took the task and went to do some work, while he registered users of several recruitment websites online and posted some recruitment information.
The recruitment content is very simple, one lobby manager, three business managers, several chefs, and several waiters.
Although the hotel has not officially opened yet, the staffing must be worked out first. What he wants to do is not a small business. The investment will be tens of millions, and it will take a day or two. He must find the people first and train them first.
Get up and get familiar with technology.
It just so happened that spring had begun in Bincheng at this time, which was when the talent market was most active. Not long after the recruitment advertisement was released, Xiao Feng received a call for consultation.
In the next few days, Xiao Feng has been interviewing various applicants. The chef is easy to find. He runs a fast food restaurant, not a five-star hotel. Besides, he also has secret seasoning skills such as mushroom powder, and
You don't need a highly skilled chef, just an average chef.
Therefore, his criteria for selecting chefs do not depend on how skilled you are, but on whether you are fast enough, diligent enough, and whether you are loyal and honest.
Because there is no need for chefs with particularly good skills, the salary given by Xiao Feng is not high, so the applicants are usually young chefs, some are diligent and some are honest, but there are always one or two shortcomings that make Xiao Feng
Not so satisfied.
Waiters and the like were relatively simple. Xiao Feng later simply stopped doing this job and mainly interviewed chefs and lobby managers. These two were the most difficult to find.
The chefs who have applied for jobs in the past few days are probably young and have average skills, but some are more sophisticated and like to be lazy, or their cooking skills are so bad that even Xiao Feng can't stand it.
After half a month of recruitment, Xiao Feng only hired a middle-aged chef named Shang. He used to work as a chef in a three-star hotel, and then he went to open a restaurant on his own. As a result, he lost everything and had no choice but to work out again.
The craftsmanship is good, the asking price is not high, and the key is honesty. He has a family to support, a family to support, and a mortgage to pay. He won't change jobs easily, and he doesn't dare to cheat. These characteristics make Xiao Feng very satisfied.
However, the lobby manager has never found a suitable candidate. In today's market, truly capable hotel managers are generally more willing to work in big hotels. After all, such places are formal and have a certain room for improvement.
This newly opened fast food restaurant is looking for a lobby manager, and the salary offered is not high, so not many people are willing to come.
The people who came here either lacked experience or wanted relatively high wages, neither of which Xiao Feng was satisfied with.
The recruitment process was progressing slowly, but Li Mingcheng's design drawings came out very quickly. That day, he sent some drawings to Xiao Feng and asked Xiao Feng to make a choice. Xiao Feng turned on the computer and took a look. Well, he did a good job.
