Chapter 609: Taste Pavilion
Then the three of them submitted their resignations to the factory together. Director Yang was shocked when he heard this and tried hard to retain them, especially Lin Geng and Sha Zhu. Lin Geng had always been in charge of the factory's purchase of unplanned materials and had never caused any trouble for the factory because of unplanned purchases.
And Sha Zhu's cooking skills were still there. He had always been in charge of the factory's small kitchen. The hospitality at the steel rolling mill had always been the best among its peers. Director Yang was also used to eating the dishes cooked by Sha Zhu. Now that Sha Zhu was gone, no one in the factory could afford the small kitchen, so Director Yang tried his best to retain Lin Geng and Sha Zhu, wanting to keep them in the factory.
However, Lin Geng, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were determined to leave, and Director Yang had no other choice but to sign and approve their resignation reports.
However, Lin Gengye promised Director Yang that if the factory needed anything in the future, he would still be willing to help. It would not have much impact whether he left or not. If there was any problem, just let someone know and he would find a way to get those unplanned materials for the factory.
As for the factory's special meals, in the future the factory can just arrange receptions at the restaurant they run. It will still be very face-saving then. The restaurant can give discounts to the factory, and in the future they can sign bills and settle accounts every month, which will not delay the factory's reception tasks.
After listening to this, Director Yang felt that this was a solution, so he finally approved the resignation of the three of them with great reluctance.
Of course, when the resignation of the three of them was approved, the resignation of Sha Zhu's apprentice Ma Hua was also approved. Ma Hua was loyal to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu asked Ma Hua to follow him to work in the restaurant, and Ma Hua agreed without saying a word. In addition, Zhao Erya has also learned a lot of noodle skills from Sha Zhu and can make a lot of pastries. Seeing that Sha Zhu was going to work with Lin Geng, Zhao Erya also resigned and followed him to the restaurant.
Next, Lin Geng found a group of workers to do decoration, worked out a renovation plan, and began to renovate the houses in a hurry. Xu Damao took on the task of recruiting workers, and began to issue recruitment notices in conjunction with the street office and conduct interviews.
Sha Zhu is in charge of the renovation of the kitchen and recruiting workers. He has been a chef for such a long time that he has some connections among the chefs in the city. His father He Daqing is still alive. Although he has retired long ago, his skills are still there. He also has some fellow apprentices, and each of them has made many apprentices.
So He Daqing helped Sha Zhu to find his surviving fellow apprentices and recruited six or seven apprentices with good skills to work as chefs in the restaurant.
With the connections of He Daqing and Sha Zhu, and the high salary offered by Lin Gengding, the chefs, kitchen helpers, pastry chefs and other staff in the kitchen were quickly recruited without much effort.
As for recruiting waiters, that is even less of a problem. Nowadays, with the return of educated youth from the countryside, there are many young people in the city who cannot find jobs. Moreover, the salary set by Lin Geng is also quite high, much higher than the salary of a factory worker. So when the street office heard that Lin Geng was going to open a restaurant and needed to recruit dozens of waiters, the current director of the street office almost cried with excitement.
So the street office immediately helped them start publicity, and soon the number of young people who signed up to apply for the job almost collapsed the street office. They originally planned to recruit 35 people, but ended up with hundreds of people signing up. Even Xu Damao was frightened, and he quickly ran to find Lin Geng for help.
When Lin Geng came over, he was also shocked. He finally squeezed in with great difficulty and was busy for three days before he finally identified the waiters, waiters and security guards needed.
The next step was training. Lin Geng personally took part in the training of the waiters. He took out some rules and regulations that he had learned in the company and seen in the hotel, developed a comprehensive service training plan, and conducted pre-job training for all employees.
However, at that time, the saying that customers are God did not exist yet. Many waiters still felt that the rules formulated by Lin Geng really did not treat them as human beings. How could they serve customers in this way? What kind of people did they treat them as? So they resigned on the spot in anger.
Lin Geng did not try to keep him. After all, too many people nowadays have no service awareness. They think that maintaining a good service attitude towards customers is servile behavior, and it is normal that some people cannot accept it.
He was also generous enough to give the internship wages to those employees who resigned and let them leave, but he also told them that after they left, it would be impossible for them to come back.
Lin Geng was extremely busy during this period. Fortunately, Yu Li was very understanding and took on all the household chores and took good care of the children, without causing Lin Geng to worry at all.
Seeing how busy Lin Geng was, Yu's father and mother took the initiative to come over to help him. They didn't know anything about the things going on in the restaurant, so they helped Yu Li take care of the house.
Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were also very excited during this period. They were enthusiastic about their work and spent every day in the restaurant, having a lot of fun. They worked hard for three months and were almost exhausted. They finally completed the decoration and preparation of the restaurant. Finally, everything was in place for the restaurant. Lin Geng also went to the government to get a business license and finally set a date for the official opening.
Before the opening, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu remembered something. Xu Damao asked Lin Geng, "That's not right, Lin Zi. I'm in charge of the front office of this hotel, and Sha Zhu is in charge of the kitchen. So what do you do?"
Lin Geng said shamelessly: "I'm the general manager! How can a general manager take care of everything? Let's talk about what I'm responsible for! I'm responsible for the purchase of ingredients and various materials, as well as financial management! Oh, and security work, and I'm responsible for watching the place! You are responsible for the rest! Hehe!"
When Xu Damao and Sha Zhu heard this, they realized that they were both being treated like animals by Lin Geng, and that they would be used like large animals to pull the millstone for a long time from now on.
But these two guys were not unhappy at all. After all, the investment was made by Lin Geng. Each of them invested 2,500 yuan and held 5% of the shares. In addition, each of them received a salary from the restaurant, and dividends would be distributed at the end of the year according to the profit of the year. As soon as the restaurant opened, their salary income alone exceeded many times what they had earned before in the steel mill.
Now even if they are treated like animals, they have no objection.
Lin named the restaurant Pinweixuan Hotel. On the opening day, he invited many leaders to cut the ribbon for the hotel, and also invited leaders from surrounding enterprises and institutions to come and taste the food.
