Chapter 2645 The restaurant of the Malkey family

"After lunch, accompany me to a company," Mr. Stephen said casually.

Lei Huanxi didn't care either.

Where can't people of this magnitude be seen?

The lunch was eaten in an Italian restaurant.

It is said that this place is very famous.

However, Lei Huanxi would rather make a big bowl of braised pork and eat a bowl of rice.

"I like to eat Italian food," Mr. Stephen said frankly: "For a while, I was even very obsessed. I remember that near my house, there was a very good Italian restaurant. The owner is called Margi. The Italian food he cooks is indeed quite authentic. I have always been his fan and always go to that restaurant every few days.

Ah, that restaurant is not actually a very luxurious restaurant. It is actually a small restaurant that can only accommodate six tables of guests at a time. The owner, Marki, is a chef, his wife, a waiter and cashier. Moreover, the service attitude is not very good, but it does not hinder their business at all, because the taste of the dishes is authentic.

In this way, Malkie and I became more and more familiar with each other. Once, I followed the custom and arrived when they just opened the door, but that day, I found that Malkie was having a fierce argument with his son Emerson. I was very curious, to know that I am no longer a simple diner in this restaurant, but a friend. Since there was a conflict between father and son, I should always ask what happened.

Marki complained to me that this restaurant is for his son sooner or later, but Emerson is always too ambitious and wants to do something that seems inexplicable in Marki.

What about this time? Emerson has been helping in the store. He has his own thinking. He believes that the store should be expanded, and the six tables are far from meeting the needs of customers. Once the store is expanded, there will be more customers and more income.

However, Marki did not have as great ambition as his son. In his opinion, this store supported their family, allowed his son to go to a good university, and the whole family could live a good life. There was no need to expand the store.

Markey was very familiar with me and complained to me, ‘Mr. Stephen, you see, these young people always like to do something big, and he always looks down on the efforts of those of us.’

But Emerson also has his own opinion. He believes that the times are progressing, and if a store cannot keep up with the times, it will sooner or later be eliminated.

I listened to them with a smile, and did not express any opinions. I said goodbye after dinner.

Later, I went abroad for half a year, and when I came back, I went to the restaurant as usual.

But I was surprised to find that the Italian restaurant was no longer open. I called Marki, and on the phone, Marki told me that he finally decided to listen to his son's advice and open a larger restaurant.

I asked him, ‘You really decided that way.’

I remember Marki answering me that time, 'Yes, Mr. Stephen, I have decided so much that six tables really can't meet the needs of the guests. Every time there are people waiting in line. The same recipe and the same taste. If the store is expanded several times, the business will be better and we will make more money.'

I still didn't say anything, just wish him good luck.

Later I went to the new restaurant in Marchi, which was very luxurious and high-end and magnificent. It is said that in order to open this store, Marchi not only used up all his savings, but also borrowed a large amount of money from the bank.

Markey and Emerson were very happy to see me coming, especially Emerson. The young man's face was filled with excitement. He was happy that his father could listen to his opinions and saw a bright future.

Marki personally cooked to cook a meal, and it tasted the same as before, and I was very satisfied with the food.

‘We will succeed, Mr. Stephen, this restaurant will become the most famous Italian restaurant here.’ That’s what Emerson told me that day.

My answer was, ‘Child, I hope you will still be so confident next time I come back.’

To be honest, Emerson was a little surprised that day. He seemed to think I didn't trust him much.

After more than a year, I remembered the Marki family and went to his restaurant. As I expected, there was not a single customer in the restaurant during the meal. Marki and his son sat there dejectedly.

When they saw it, Markey stood up immediately, ‘Mr. Stephen, you are finally here.’

‘What’s wrong with this store?’ I asked him.

Marki told me that when the store was first opened, the business was pretty good, and some old customers from the past came from afar just to taste the dishes here.

For this reason, Marki, who was too busy to get busy, hired a chef and several waiters.

But later, the business got worse and worse, and sometimes no customer came to the door a day.

The heavy and expensive rent and the monthly loan pressure made Marki frown. For this reason, he had to fire the chef and all the waiters.

The Marki and his son didn’t know where they were wrong, so why did the business suddenly go bad?

I asked them, do you really don’t know where you are wrong? They said yes. So I told them the answer.

The restaurant they opened in the past was because of the small venue, so the rent pressure was low. The chef was his own person and the waiter was his own person, so there was no salary pressure at all.

However, when he reopened a luxury restaurant, all these problems that did not exist had appeared on the surface.

In addition to the hired chefs and waiters, he has to spend a lot of extra money every month, so in order to maintain the cost, he has to raise the price of the dishes.

To be honest, although the Italian cuisine made by Marki is good, it definitely does not meet the requirements of a chef. When guests spend the price of a luxury restaurant and taste the taste of an ordinary restaurant, guests will not be happy.

Those old guests who came to support the show found that the price of a meal was several times more expensive than in the past, so they naturally would not come next time.

There are too many supporting facilities that need to be kept up with in a large restaurant. In the past, Marki's wife could shout at the guests with a bad attitude and the guests would not care about it, but in a luxurious restaurant, such a situation would never exist.

Unfortunately, the Marki family has no experience in this area at all, and they are still managing a new restaurant by opening a small restaurant.

For this reason, they even received a lot of complaints, so that they faced a lot of fines. What is this? This is a vicious cycle.
