Chapter 202: Hard Pancakes in Front, Chicken Soup in the Back
[Master, Xiaozhi lists the following disadvantages of the online cash register system for you. ]
Zhao Xiaojing threw the question to Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi gave an answer after thinking for a second.
[First, there are many charging items.
First of all, there is a fee for connecting to the food delivery platform, which is usually paid once a year, and it can only be connected to large food delivery platforms, excluding in-store food delivery.
Secondly, the QR code scanning box needs to be bound to the merchant’s designated payment software, and a certain handling fee needs to be paid for each payment, which is not cost-effective for small restaurants.
Furthermore, there is a fee for entering the order form by scanning the QR code in the cash register system. It is usually free for the first time, but subsequent functions such as taking photos for entry and one-click entry will require a fee.
Second, the online statistical function is not very practical.
The backend statistical function of this cash register system is not well developed, the data statistics are messy, and a lot of manual input is required. The data is not targeted and cannot be adjusted in real time according to restaurant dynamics.
Third, manual maintenance and frequent upgrades are time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
...]
Xiaozhi listed all the shortcomings one by one, and Zhao Xiaojing was already dizzy after he finished muttering.
"Okay, okay, don't bother with all this professional analysis. It's too much of a headache. Just tell me the plan."
[Master, Xiaozhi recommends that you use the most basic stand-alone cash register and receipt machine for now, and then add a mobile phone takeaway printer in the back kitchen.
As for the complete cash register system functions, as long as you run the store carefully and improve your capabilities, these will not be a problem and will come naturally. 】
"Okay." Zhao Xiaojing maintained a smile and waved her hand to put Xiaozhi away. She silently complained in her heart that last time it was hard cake, this time it was chicken soup, and Xiaozhi was like a capitalist.
After the conversation, Zhao Xiaojing returned to reality and called Su Yuchen back.
"Huh? You've thought it through so quickly?" On the other end of the phone, Su Yuchen had just walked out of the store when Zhao Xiaojing called again.
"I remembered some shortcomings of the cash register system..."
Zhao Xiaojing summarized the main shortcomings that Xiaozhi mentioned. As soon as she finished talking about the charging issue, Su Yuchen immediately formed a united front.
"No, that won't do. I spent thousands of dollars to buy it, which is a huge loss. How can I continue to be hurt? Our small restaurant can't be used as a leek! I won't buy it!"
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and served Xiaozhi's chicken soup as it was. "It's okay, these are not a problem. We will open the store well and accumulate slowly, and these will always come."
"Hiss, wake up, you're just a small boss who's in debt, and the pie is already drawn!" Su Yuchen complained exaggeratedly with a breath of cold air.
The two discussed for a while, and finally decided to follow Xiaozhi's plan, buy a basic cash register and receipt machine, and buy a mobile phone receipt printing machine to print takeout orders.
"By the way, I asked you to contact the band yesterday. Have you done that? The store has plenty of free time now. Once the two sisters are done with their work and come over, we'll have more space. It's time to let go." Zhao Xiaojing advised again.
"Got it, I'll contact you later." Su Yuchen smiled lightly and responded softly.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing entered the virtual space again, but this time she entered the scene of the Ancient Mountain Restaurant that was projected at that time.
There are only a dozen varieties of rice bowls in her restaurant, and the dishes are prepared around a dozen or so rice bowl ingredients and some seasonal vegetables. Therefore, there is no room to experiment with the soup stock, so she can only switch to a restaurant with richer ingredients to try.
Zhao Xiaojing looked through the food in the restaurant. There were all kinds of flying things in the sky, crawling things on the ground, and swimming things in the water, but...
King crab, Australian lobster, six-head abalone, Japanese wagyu beef, black pork shank, scallops, fish maw, beef tendon, pigeon, old hen...
How could a soup made from these ingredients be bad?
Zhao Xiaojing silently picked out pigeons, old hens, abalone, leg bones, pork skin, beef tendons, scallops and some dried shrimps, and put them into different basins in different combinations of ingredients. After processing with the quick module, she blanched those that needed to be blanched, and stir-fried those that needed to be stir-fried. Then she took six pressure cookers on the side, turned on the fire at the same time, waited for the steam to rise, and then pressed the pressure for half an hour. After opening the lid, she tasted it and added different seasonings according to the characteristics of different ingredients.
Unfortunately, the restaurant's pastry area is in another area, and the virtual space can only project 60 square meters at present, which cannot cover the pastry area. Therefore, Zhao Xiaojing cannot get flour. She can only cook the soup and then make it into jelly, and taste the soup and soup jelly instead.
Four hours later...
Zhao Xiaojing opened the refrigerator and took a few bites of each of the six bowls of different jelly soups.
She has tasted all the soups, and now she will try the soup jelly to get a rough idea of what the soup dumplings will taste like.
What Zhao Xiaojing was most satisfied with was the soup and jelly made from an old hen, shank bones, dried shrimps and pig skin.
Although these four ingredients may not look that high-end, the soup blended together tastes surprisingly delicious, the kind of clear, mellow, and lightly aftertaste-filled. It is not too heavy to occupy the taste buds, nor is it bland like water, and it can play the role that a soup should play just right.
But we can’t make soup dumplings here, so we can’t conduct an overall experiment and then make detailed adjustments. We can only find a general direction.
Zhao Xiaojing exited the current scene, looked at the existing ingredients in her kitchen, and made a list of ingredients on a piece of paper. She planned to go to the market tomorrow to buy all the ingredients and start making water chestnut soup dumplings.
As he was writing, Su Yuchen came back holding a cardboard box, followed by a master carrying a half-worn front desk.
"Mirror, look at where to put it. Is it okay here at the door?" Su Yuchen put down the cardboard box and pointed to the left side as he entered the door and asked.
"Okay, here it is." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, and quickly followed Su Yuchen to move the dining table on the left.
Seeing this, the master who was carrying the table gently put the table down, adjusted the angle of the table, and placed it at the position designated by the two.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chef." After the table was set, the chef took out his mobile phone. Su Yuchen immediately scanned the code and paid the money. The chef took a look and waved his hand and left the restaurant.
"How is it? He took a look around the second-hand market and when he heard that we were not far away, he agreed to deliver 150 packages and drove them over on his electric tricycle." Su Yuchen proudly patted the front desk table that had just been put down.
There was no front desk in the store before. Su Yuchen just held a small piece of cardboard and wrote the menu on each table. Customers scanned the code or paid with cash. Occasionally, Su Yuchen would go to the side to get the bag and give the change.
But now that there is a cash register screen, there naturally needs to be a front desk. The two of them opened the carton, Su Yuchen took out the cash register and receipt machine, plugged in the power and connected them according to the boss's instructions, and fiddled with them for a few more times, and the cash register page appeared.
After that, I found a place in the back kitchen to plug in the takeaway printer that had been connected to the mobile phone and configured in the store, and the store's cash register and printing configurations were all completed.
