Chapter 481

The employees listened attentively and expressed their willingness to cooperate actively.

In this fiercely competitive catering market, customers not only enjoy more food choices, but also experience better services. This competition is also constantly promoting the development and progress of the catering industry.

"Now these restaurants are working hard to improve themselves, and we as customers can feel their dedication. This is a good thing for us!" said a business person who often eats out.

"Yes, the more intense the competition, the harder they will work. We can also benefit from it and taste more and better food," said another customer.

As time goes by, the competition between Wang's All-inclusive Hotels, Yuehailou and international chain restaurant brands continues. They are constantly working hard in terms of menu innovation, service improvement, marketing promotion, etc., striving to attract more customers.

In Wang's full-line restaurants, the chef team has always maintained their love and pursuit of food, and constantly explored new directions for the development of dishes. One day, in the kitchen of the restaurant, the chefs sat together and enthusiastically discussed the creativity of new dishes.

The chef stood in the middle of the crowd, looking serious but full of expectation. He said, "We must continue to innovate, combine different ingredients and cooking methods, and create more unique delicacies. The market competition is so fierce now, we can't be satisfied with the status quo, we must continue to bring forth new ideas and bring customers a brand new taste experience."

An experienced chef nodded slightly and said, "Chef, you are right. We cannot always rely on those traditional dishes. Today's customers are becoming more and more picky and they are eager to try new things. We must dare to break through tradition and try different combinations of ingredients and cooking techniques."

Young chefs also expressed their opinions. One young chef said: "I think we can try to combine local traditional snacks with elements of Western food, maybe there will be new surprises. Nowadays, many people like to try Chinese and Western cuisine. We can take advantage of this trend and create some unique dishes."

Another young chef continued, "Yes, we have many local specialties, such as Jianbing Guozi and Mahua. If we can incorporate elements of these snacks into Western cuisine, such as using Jianbing Guozi's dough to wrap Western food ingredients, or using Mahua to decorate Western food plating, it will definitely attract the attention of many customers."

After listening to their proposal, everyone agreed. The chef thought for a moment and said, "This idea is very creative. We can give it a try. But we must pay attention to the combination of ingredients and the choice of cooking methods, so that the new dishes will not lose their original characteristics."

So, the chef team began to invest in the research and development of new dishes. They first conducted in-depth research on local traditional snacks to understand their production methods, taste characteristics and cultural background. Then, they combined Western cooking techniques and ingredients and began to try various combinations.

During the research and development process, the chefs encountered many difficulties and challenges, such as how to perfectly combine the taste of traditional snacks with Western food ingredients, how to maintain the taste and color of new dishes, how to design unique plating, etc. However, they were not defeated by these difficulties, but continued to try and improve.

Once, the chefs tried to use the dough of Jianbing Guozi to wrap steak and vegetables for Western food. However, they found that the dough of Jianbing Guozi was easy to break and the taste was not very good. So they began to try different methods of making dough, adding some flour and seasonings commonly used in Western food. After many attempts, they finally made a dough that was both firm and elastic.

Then, they began to study how to match the ingredients. They tried different steak parts and vegetable combinations, and finally chose tender and juicy fillet steak and fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. In order to increase the richness of the taste, they also added some homemade sauces, such as black pepper sauce and ketchup.

The chefs also put a lot of effort into the presentation of the dish. They borrowed the presentation techniques of Western cuisine and placed the steak wrapped in a pancake in the center of the plate, surrounded by vegetables and sauces for decoration. Finally, they also used twisted dough sticks as embellishment to increase the visual effect of the dish.

After many attempts and adjustments, the new dish called "Jian Bing Guozi Steak" was finally born. The chefs can't wait to let customers taste this new dish to see if their creativity can be recognized.

One day, a customer came to Wang's All-Season Restaurant for dinner. The waiter enthusiastically recommended this new dish. After listening to the waiter's introduction, the customer said curiously: "Jianbing Guozi and steak? What kind of strange combination is this? I have never heard of it. However, it sounds very creative, I want to try it."

When this "Jian Bing Guozi steak" was served to the customer's table, the customer was attracted by its unique appearance. He picked up the knife and fork and carefully cut the Jian Bing Guozi, revealing the tender and juicy steak and fresh vegetables inside. He took a bite and his eyes lit up immediately.

"This new dish is so delicious! The crust of the pancake is very chewy, and the steak is very tender. What's more, the combination is very novel and leaves a lasting impression," the customer exclaimed.

After hearing the customer's comments, other customers also began to try this new dish. Everyone was attracted by the unique taste and praised it highly.

"Wang's entire chain of restaurants always brings us surprises. This new dish not only retains the characteristics of traditional snacks, but also incorporates elements of Western cuisine. It is very creative," said a customer.

With the successful launch of this new dish, the business of all Wang's restaurants has become more prosperous. The chefs have also been greatly encouraged and they continue to invest in the research and development of new dishes.

They began to try to combine more local traditional snacks with Western food elements. For example, using fried dough twist to make Western desserts, using stuffing of steamed buns to make Western soups, etc. The launch of each new dish attracted the attention and love of many customers.

In the process, chefs also constantly learn and draw on the innovative experiences of other restaurants. They participate in various food festivals and cooking competitions to exchange experiences with other chefs and draw inspiration from them.

Once, the head chef led a team of chefs to participate in an international food festival. At the food festival, they tasted food from all over the world and learned about the cooking culture and techniques of different countries. After returning to the hotel, they incorporated these experiences into the research and development of new dishes, creating more food with international flavors.

"We can't just limit ourselves to combining local traditional snacks with Western food elements. We also need to look to the world, absorb the food culture of different countries, and create more diversified dishes," said the chef.

With the continuous efforts of the chef team, the dishes of Wang's whole series of restaurants are becoming more and more rich and diverse, attracting more and more customers to taste them. Their innovative spirit also inspires other restaurants to make continuous efforts and promote the development and progress of the entire catering industry.

However, Wang's full-line restaurants are not satisfied with the status quo. They know that in the fiercely competitive catering market, only continuous innovation can keep them ahead. Therefore, they continue to increase investment in menu innovation, service improvement and marketing promotion, striving to bring more surprises and satisfaction to customers.

……

In Yuehai Building, Zhang Yuehai is also thinking about how to further improve his competitiveness.

Zhang Yuehai, the boss of Yuehailou, sat in his office with a frown on his face, thinking about the future development direction of the restaurant. He knew that in this fiercely competitive market, he could not just rely on seafood sets to attract customers, but had to introduce more special dishes and strengthen interaction with customers to understand their needs and opinions.

Zhang Yuehai stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling streets outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He recalled the journey of Yuehailou, from a small seafood restaurant to a well-known restaurant in the local area, which took countless efforts and sweat. But he also clearly realized that the competition is getting more and more fierce now, and he can't be satisfied with the status quo, but must keep making progress.

Zhang Yuehai turned back to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed the hotel manager's number.

"Hello, Manager Li, please come to my office." Zhang Yuehai said.

Soon, Manager Li came to Zhang Yuehai's office.

"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Manager Li asked. Zhang Yuehai looked at Manager Li and said seriously, "We can't just rely on seafood set meals. We need to introduce more special dishes. At the same time, we need to strengthen interaction with customers and understand their needs and opinions. What do you think?"

Manager Li thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I think we can hold some food events and invite customers to taste and evaluate our new dishes. This will not only allow customers to learn about our new dishes, but also listen to their opinions and suggestions, and provide reference for our dish innovation and service improvement."

Zhang Yuehai nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Let's plan some food activities as soon as possible."

Manager Li took the order and started planning the food event. He called together the hotel's chef team and service team to discuss the event plan.

In the conference room, everyone sat together and the atmosphere was warm.

“We can hold a seafood food festival and introduce some new seafood dishes for customers to taste and evaluate,” suggested a chef.

“This is a good idea, but we can’t just limit ourselves to seafood dishes. We can combine some local specialty ingredients and launch some innovative dishes,” said another chef.

"We can also set up some interactive sessions, such as food knowledge quizzes, cooking shows, etc., to increase customer participation." said a waiter.

Everyone contributed their ideas and made many good suggestions. After some discussion, the plan for the food event was finally finalized.

Yuehailou began to prepare for the food event in full swing. They put up a large poster at the entrance of the hotel to promote the upcoming food event.

"Yuehailou Seafood Food Festival, special dishes are waiting for you to try! Participate in the interaction and win generous prizes!"

The poster attracted the attention of many passers-by. Everyone stopped to watch and was full of anticipation for this food event.

At the same time, Yuehailou's chef team is also busy preparing new special dishes. They have conducted in-depth research on local ingredients and culture, combined with their own cooking skills, to create amazing dishes.

"We should take this food event as an opportunity to showcase our strength and let customers taste real delicious food," said the chef.

The chefs nodded one after another. They prepared each dish carefully, strictly controlling everything from the selection of ingredients to the cooking process, striving for perfection.

As for the service team, they also received special training to learn how to better interact with customers and understand their needs and opinions.

"During food events, we should warmly welcome every customer and listen carefully to their opinions and suggestions. This is a valuable opportunity for us to better improve our service quality," said the service manager.

The waiters studied seriously, they knew that this food event was not only to attract customers, but also to enhance the overall competitiveness of Yuehailou.

Finally, the Yuehailou Seafood Food Festival was held as scheduled. On the day of the event, the restaurant was bustling with customers coming in an endless stream.

"Welcome everyone to the Yuehailou Seafood Food Festival! Today we have prepared a variety of delicious food and exciting interactive sessions for you. We hope that everyone can have a pleasant time." The host said enthusiastically.

The customers looked at the exquisite dishes excitedly and couldn't wait to taste them.

“These dishes look so tempting! I wonder how they taste,” said a customer.

"Yes, I heard that the chefs at Yuehailou are very good. I must try their food this time." Another customer also said.

While tasting the dishes, customers were full of praise for Yuehailou’s new dishes.

"This new seafood dish is so delicious! It has a fresh flavor and rich taste," a customer praised.

"And this dish that combines local ingredients is also very good and creative," said another customer.

In addition to tasting the food, customers also actively participated in the interactive session. In the food knowledge quiz session, everyone answered questions enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was lively.

"Excuse me, what are the nutritional values ​​of seafood?" asked the host.

One customer quickly raised his hand and responded: "Seafood is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and has many benefits for the body."

"Correct answer! Congratulations on winning a small prize." said the host.

During the cooking show, Yuehailou’s chefs demonstrated their cooking skills on the spot, which opened the eyes of the customers.

"Wow, the chefs' skills are amazing! Watching them cook is like watching an art performance," said a customer.

"Yes, I will learn cooking and make such delicious dishes in the future." Another customer also said.

During the event, waiters enthusiastically interacted with customers to understand their needs and opinions.
