Chapter 797: Food Additives
“Waiter! Bring out all the signature dishes of your restaurant!” Brother Zhang mimicked the person on the radio and ordered the dishes, calling for the waiter.
The waiter had just sent the security guards away, so he had no idea what was going on. He thought that since he had just tidied up the shop, they had two new customers.
Yun Xi did not notice Brother Zhang and his wife’s situation. She was in a single room upstairs, checking with the front desk about the recent profits of the hotpot restaurant.
“Alright, Sir and Madam!”
“This is the menu of our restaurant. What do you need? Moreover, our shop is having a promotion recently. If you want to drink beer, it’s a buy five get one free.”
“And you can also apply for membership in our restaurant. Members will get a 10% discount on all dishes. If we can’t finish the drinks in our store, we can deposit it in our account and withdraw it directly next time.”
These were some of the business methods that Yun Xi had learned in the modern era. This method could also be applied in hotpot restaurants in the 1980s.
It was just that the labor cost was a little expensive, and every member’s record had to be recorded in a separate book. However, as long as he could find a good statistical induction method, it could still be implemented.
Thus, the hotpot restaurant also attracted a lot of business.
“Alright then, let us see!” Brother Zhang took the menu from the waiter.
However, Mrs. Zhang was attracted by the discount offered by the membership.
“How do I get a membership in your shop?” Mrs. Zhang asked.
“All you need to do is leave your personal information and pay a membership fee of 50 yuan.”
After all, in the modern era, it was still an era where members’ information had to be calculated manually. Yun Xi still charged a certain amount of administrative fees.
“50 yuan? Why don’t you just rob someone?” When Mrs. Zhang heard that she had to pay, she was immediately unwilling and did not want to apply for membership.
They did not plan to spend money on this meal, so it did not matter whether they got a discount or not.
The difference between the menu designed by Yun Xi and the previous one was that the photos in the new menu had been printed.
Therefore, the people who ordered could directly see what the dishes they ordered looked like, which also greatly attracted the interest of the customers who came to this hot pot restaurant.
“I’d like a serving of this Sichuan beef! Looking at the chili wrapped in it, it makes one feel very appetizing.”
Brother Zhang was a person who liked spicy food. He was the kind of person who couldn’t move when he saw chili.
“I’ll have a serving of this tender and smooth chicken!” Mrs. Zhang pointed at the menu.
“Look at the plate of chicken, it’s so beautiful! I’m sure it’ll taste good.”
Mrs. Zhang was attracted by the picture on the menu.
However, the chicken in the hotpot restaurant opened by Yun Xi was indeed tender, smooth, and delicious. It was different from the usual taste of chicken breast.
This was completely dependent on the tender meat powder taken out from the space, which was a food additive that was only invented in modern times. However, Yun Xi used this food additive on chicken in the 1980s, so the taste was naturally different from the chicken in other hotpot restaurants.
With modern technology, the taste of food had been greatly improved. The hotpot restaurant was now planning to open some other branches, not just in the University City.
Brother Zhang and his wife looked at the pictures on the menu and ordered a few more plates of meat.
“Alright, that’s all!” Brother Zhang returned the menu to the waiter.
“Sir, may I confirm the menu with you again?”
“There’s Sichuan-style beef, tender and smooth chicken, and high-calcium mutton gizzards.”
The waiter looked at the dishes one by one and realized that the couple did not order any vegetable dishes, but only meat dishes.
“Sir and Madam, the vegetables in our restaurant are actually very delicious. Also, I suggest you mix meat and vegetables with each other. It will have more texture and layers. How about a vegetable platter from our shop?” The male waiter tried to promote.
After all, the sales performance and the sales volume were directly related.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at the prices of the vegetable platter on the menu, then at the vegetables in the picture, and frowned.
