"Owner, can you tell me in detail how to reserve dining service in your store?" A group of food lovers gathered around Shen Long. They are all real foodies. When they encounter delicious food, they naturally want to taste it. However, of the 320 delicacies at the Manchu-Han banquet, only one percent was tasted today. How could such delicious food satisfy everyone's appetites?
"I can prepare Manchu-Han banquet, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and many other cuisines. Next time you come back, I will present you with classics from different cuisines." Shen Long said with a smile. Obviously, Everyone admired his cooking skills and his hard work was not in vain.
"However, as you have also seen, my restaurant has limited space, and I have to cook all the large and small dishes myself, so the reception capacity is relatively limited. I can only accommodate two tables a day, with a maximum of 20 people, and I am closed at noon and 7 p.m. Start the meal on time." Shen Long explained to everyone the rules he had established recently.
"It doesn't matter. Although our dinner only took more than two hours, many meals have actually been prepared in advance. For example, the bowl of shark's fin needs to be slow-cooked for several hours in advance, plus shopping for vegetables, etc. Being able to serve two tables every day is quite an achievement." Although the diners felt a little regretful, they all expressed their understanding.
Because of this high-level top chef, he naturally selects the food he buys himself to ensure that he finds the highest quality ingredients. The purchasing process alone takes a lot of time.
"Isn't this also true for Li's cuisine? Boss Shen, how much does it cost per customer here?" Some people are wondering. The taste of this restaurant is far better than that of Li's cuisine. If the price is too high, it may be unaffordable.
"The price is indeed expensive, but it cannot be called expensive. The cost per customer is one thousand yuan." Shen Long said lightly. In the past, one thousand yuan was enough to cover his lunch expenses for a month, but here, It’s just the price of a meal for one person.
"The price is quite reasonable. The craftsmanship and the quality of the dishes are really worth the price." Those who visited today are all people with better economic conditions. They only pay 1,000 yuan per meal to enjoy it once or twice. No pressure.
Taking a closer look at the tableware on the table, you can see that shark's fin, deer breast and other delicacies are not commonplace. If you try these delicacies in other restaurants, the prices will not be cheap either. As for the taste, it cannot be compared with what Shen Long cooks.
Still, the price seems a bit high for the average consumer. Several people who were originally full of enthusiasm and said they would continue to taste the delicious food have become hesitant and silent. In contrast, more people continued to ask Shen Long how to make a reservation.
"We are open five days a week, and the remaining two days are my rest days." Shen Long rarely enjoys weekend leisure during his work. Now that he can finally manage himself, he naturally wants to make up for this regret. The income earned in five days is enough for daily expenses. The profit of the catering industry is usually about 50%, and the profit margin of high-end catering is higher. Even after deducting rent, water and electricity bills, labor costs, taxes and ingredient costs, Shen Long The daily profit can reach more than 10,000 yuan.
"In view of the fact that you have more free time on weekends, I have decided to use the weekend days as compensatory rest, and take a short rest on Monday and Tuesday. You do not need to come to taste it in person. The remaining five days will accept reservations. For the convenience of recording, below A mobile phone number will be provided and will be turned on at 6pm every day to receive reservations for the next day. The first person to access the phone will get priority. If the phone is turned off during the call, it will be deemed to have been booked for the next day. Please call again later. "At other times, the phone will remain off to prevent disturbing your own quiet.
"Only reservations are accepted for the next day, and subsequent reservations will not be accepted." Tasks in the future may come unexpectedly, and at that time, I may not have time to cook delicious food.
"This is the only way to make a reservation. If the phone call cannot be connected, it will be difficult to come in person to have a meal. Similarly, for temporary breaks, you have a golden week, and I also need to relax." If I receive a new task. , I may suspend business at any time to make preparations, and I must inform you of this in advance. "In short, if the phone cannot be connected, you don't need to waste your efforts."
"So what about the arrangements for tomorrow? It's already past six o'clock." There are still diners who are not satisfied and want to continue tasting tomorrow.
"It's a great honor for you all to come and support me. I deserve such special treatment. So, if you still want to dine here in the next few days, you can come and draw. We will draw lots to arrange the order, and the first and second numbers will be drawn. Those who signed up can continue to come tomorrow." Everyone has no objection to this. This kind of private restaurant is not the first in Beijing.
In a short while, diners came forward to participate in the drawing of lots. Those who drew numbers 1 and 2 were overjoyed, while the rest were a little disappointed. They could still enjoy the delicious food a day or two later.
When leaving, everyone agreed to keep the restaurant and reservation phone number secret for the time being, so as not to have too many diners and not be able to taste the food here in the future. However, they completely forgot what they had just shared on their WeChat Moments. Many people had already put the name, address and contact information of the restaurant. Make it public.
The next day, it was meal time, and many people came to this small town to look for a private restaurant called Jin Yu Man Tang, only to find that the door was closed and it was obviously full.
The reservation phone number and rules were posted on the door. They had no choice but to write down the phone number and call again tomorrow afternoon. Some impatient people decided to leave.
For this kind of customers, Shen Long does not regard them as an important target. Every day, there are two tables with a total of 20 people who are unwilling to leave. There are always diners who are willing to taste again. When these diners taste again, they can also attract new diners. , if new diners feel satisfied after trying it, they will definitely want to continue to taste it. This gradually spreads, and the Jinyumantang private cuisine visited by Shen Long has won a lot of reputation in the Beijing gourmet circle.
Even many well-known figures in the chef world have become very interested in the restaurant after viewing the photos shared by customers on the website. Although it is impossible to know how it tastes through the photos, the knife skills and plate presentation skills are clearly visible. , at least in terms of this skill, there are very few in the capital that can rival Shen Long.
After some famous chefs tried it, Jin Yu Man Tang's reputation became more and more prominent in the industry. Many senior celebrity chefs said that Shen Long's cooking skills surpassed their own.
As the number and enthusiasm of customers continued to grow, Shen Long could only use his mobile phone for five minutes every day before having to turn it off. The reason was that there were too many calls. As soon as the phone was turned on, someone would call. It would take some time to discuss the dishes, otherwise the time might be longer. short.
On this day, Shen Long, who once again saw off a group of guests, planned to return to the newly rented house to rest, but he did not expect that the voice of making a wish came again in his mind.
