Chapter 122 Cooperation reached
The success of my fried chicken made the hotel less skeptical about my proposed partnership, but I knew that business was inherently profit-driven. If fried chicken were the only dish, other businesses would quickly imitate and launch similar products. Our initial profits were simply due to our being the first to market. Over time, our advantage would diminish, and so would our profits. Therefore, to maximize the benefits of our partnership with the hotel, I had to create more eye-catching and distinctive dishes to ensure long-term and sustainable profits.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto my bed. I slept until one in the afternoon. When I woke, I was still a little sleepy, so I lay in bed for half an hour. Then, I picked up my phone and casually scrolled through TikTok. Before I knew it, it was already two-thirty. Realizing how quickly time had flown by, I slowly climbed out of bed, washed up, and ate a quick bite. Then, I decided to visit the restaurant ranked third on the Capital Stars rankings, hoping to learn from its strengths and continuously improve myself.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Edward standing outside. He smiled and said to me, "The general manager of the hotel wants to talk to you about the fried chicken wings cooperation. Is it convenient for you to come over now?" I was delighted and thought to myself: Sure enough, my plan worked!
I followed Edward to the hotel conference room. The general manager greeted me warmly with a smile on his face and said, "Your fried chicken is really delicious! It is crispy and tasty, and the chicken is tender and juicy, which makes people linger in the aftertaste. We hope to cooperate with you to jointly launch this delicious dish." Hearing this, I was secretly delighted in my heart, but on the surface I still remained polite and professional.
However, the subsequent conversation wasn't smooth sailing. The general manager began to raise some demanding conditions, such as price and supply quantity. These conditions put me at a loss, as they exceeded my expectations. I realized that this negotiation would be challenging and require me to handle it skillfully.
I took a deep breath, calmed myself, and decided to approach the challenge with reason and wisdom. I wanted to show the general manager that I wasn't someone who just worked tirelessly, inflexible, but a chef who could calmly analyze problems and come up with solutions. So, I began to carefully observe the restaurant environment and consider how to improve guest satisfaction. After careful consideration, I realized the problem might lie in the lack of innovation in the menu. So, I decided to start looking for a breakthrough there.
I returned to the kitchen and meticulously prepared a special menu featuring some brand-new dish ideas. For example, I envisioned novel dishes using interstellar ingredients, whose unique flavors are sure to captivate diners. Furthermore, I considered local cultural characteristics and incorporated them into the creative dishes, allowing guests to savor the delicious food while also experiencing a rich sense of local flavor.
When I approached the general manager with the new menu, he was busy working on some paperwork in his office. He seemed a little surprised to see me, but warmly invited me to sit down and asked why I'd come to see him. I smiled and handed him the menu, explaining that it was a new dish I'd designed for the restaurant. The general manager took it with a puzzled look, frowning as he read the dish names.
"What is this?" he asked, a hint of doubt in his tone.
"This is the new dish I designed for the restaurant," I explained. "I thought we needed some fresh elements to attract our guests. These dishes were developed based on interstellar ingredients and local cultural characteristics to satisfy the tastes of different guests."
The general manager pondered for a moment, then nodded, indicating a willingness to try them. I then gave him some detailed information about the dishes, including the origins of the ingredients, cooking methods, and nutritional value. He listened attentively, nodding in agreement. Finally, I explained that if these dishes were successfully introduced, they would not only attract more guests but also benefit the housekeeping department. This would allow guests to enjoy a more diverse range of services within the hotel, thereby increasing their satisfaction.
After listening to my presentation, the general manager fell into deep thought. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, wondering if this was worth a try. After a moment, he looked up, his gaze firm, and said to me, "Okay, I agree with your suggestion. However, we need to test a few dishes first to see if they're truly popular. If they're successful, we'll officially launch them."
I nodded excitedly, my heart brimming with anticipation. In the days that followed, I threw myself into developing new dishes. I constantly experimented, refined, and refined them, striving to perfect them. Finally, the new dishes were unveiled! Their textures and flavors were astonishing, leaving a lasting impression. The general manager and manager, Edward, tasted them themselves and were raving about them. They immediately decided to add them to the official menu.
Soon, these new dishes were a hit with guests. Many praised their originality and uniqueness. The restaurant's business boomed, with seats packed daily. Occupancy in the housekeeping department also increased significantly, and guests' overall evaluation of the hotel improved. The general manager and manager Edward were very pleased with my performance and gave me thumbs-up. I felt incredibly proud because I had proven my worth through my hard work.
So, we sat down in the general manager's office again and began a long and intense discussion. We engaged in a heated debate about the proposed partnership, each of us steadfastly arguing and unwilling to budge. As the minutes ticked by, the tension grew, but everyone understood that this was a crucial moment and that a mutually satisfactory solution must be found.
After hours of haggling, we finally found a balance at a crucial moment. This balance satisfied the hotel's interests while also ensuring my profit margin. We were both thrilled, as this outcome meant we could move forward with our cooperation and achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
Ultimately, we successfully reached a mutually satisfactory agreement. This agreement not only guaranteed my profit margin but also ensured that my diverse cuisine would be widely promoted within the hotel. I am extremely pleased with this outcome, as it demonstrates that my strength and hard work have been recognized. I also look forward to collaborating with the hotel on more projects to further expand our business.
I left the conference room feeling incredibly refreshed. This partnership will not only bring me increased revenue, but more importantly, it opens a new chapter in my culinary career. I believe that through this partnership, my fried chicken and other delicacies will attract even more people and become a prominent feature on the hotel menu.
Back in my room, I was so excited I couldn't sleep. This collaboration has given me great inspiration and hope for the future. I can't wait to get back to work, bringing my food to more places and allowing more people to taste my delicious dishes.
In the days ahead, I will go all out to continuously improve my cooking skills and provide better service to my customers. I firmly believe that as long as I persevere, my culinary career will achieve greater success.
