Chapter 218 - Cutting Mingliang Loose Tearfully (1/2)
That was the first time Lin Canrong heard that a restaurant had to prepare different styles of cutlery and even tables and chairs. There was enough space to store all of that. The underground parking lot had room for many tables and chairs. However, they had to re-decorate those things after every meal.
Lin Canrong’s head hurt just by thinking about it.
Pei Qian shook his head and said, “Of course, there is a need!”
“We are a high-end restaurant. Other than good quality ingredients, culinary skills, and great dishes; we must also have a sufficiently good environment.
“Just like the scholars in ancient times. They use different wine glasses to consume different types of wine. There were also many more complicated and cumbersome procedures. However, what they did was not merely for ritual purposes; more suitable cutlery could showcase the wine even better. It could also make the special atmosphere stand out even more!
“The other restaurants only have one type of cuisines; therefore, they could afford to have a single style.
“We, on the other hand, offer all types of cuisines, including western, Chinese, Japanese, and French cuisines. To provide customers the best dining experience, we must definitely prepare various interior design styles. We must give them the best that we could offer from the decorations, dining tables, and cutlery… to a specific atmosphere and dining environment!
“The details determine our success. Do you understand?”
Lin Canrong’s mouth parted slightly. He was completely shocked.
This…
Although that sounded very reasonable, he felt that there was something amiss. The dining environment was indeed important, but was there really a need to change the decorations and cutlery repeatedly?
Could it be… Boss Pei was not merely expecting them to stick by the rules and do things by ritual? Maybe he was looking for an attitude to pursue perfection?
By creating the perfect dining environment, they could provide customers a better and top-notch dining experience.
Yes. That must be the case!
Lin Canrong nodded his head violently and replied, “Yes, Boss Pei. I understand!
“I will research the relevant knowledge when I get home and organize systematic training for our attendants. They will then be able to serve all sorts of cuisines—including Chinese, western, and Japanese cuisines—without making a single mistake. We will aim to achieve perfection from the environment and service to the specific ways to enjoy the food!”
“Ugh…”
Pei Qian was momentarily speechless.
He did not plan on being so stringent at the beginning. After all, the food was for his own employees. Why was there a need to make things so perfect?
In the end, Lin Canrong misunderstood him. Pei Qian could not correct him as that might make things awkward.
Lin Canrong thought of another problem. “Boss Pei, what is the name of our restaurant?”
Pei Qian was solemn for a while before he asked in return, “Must we have a name?”
Lin Canrong was baffled. “…”
Why did he ask that question? Of course, there must be a name!
Otherwise, how could the conversation go on when other customers wanted to recommend us to their friends?
“Ay, I went to a restaurant with really good food the other day!”
“Really? What is it called?”
“It doesn’t have a name!”
That seemed a little absurd.
When they wanted to promote the restaurant on food critique websites in the future, they must enter a restaurant name somehow!
Moreover, the restaurant was located in a villa.
There was not much human traffic here to begin with. If they did not hang a signboard outside, no one would know that this was a restaurant. They might think that this was just a normal resident unit!
Pei Qian shook his head confidently. “Things like the name are not important. We conquer our diners with our food and not a popular brand name.
“Good food speaks for itself. Even if we do not promote it, it will still become popular someday.”
Lin Canrong’s mouth was agape. “But, Boss Pei, we must have a name for our shop. We have to apply for a business license!”
“Oh,” Pei Qian thought for a while and replied, “You can decide on it. You are the branch manager after all. I’ll leave it to you to register whatever name you want. However, there is no need to make a signboard or to hang it outside. We will win over our customers using our food!
“Anyways, prepare for it carefully. I will bring the employees at Tengda over to support you when you open for business!”
Lin Canrong was a little uneasy when he heard that he had to come up with a name for the restaurant. However, when he saw the trust in Pei Qian’s eyes, he nodded his head.
