Serving food in a restaurant is probably a job that many young people despise and despise! But a young man fell in love with it and did it well, taking his own style to the extreme.
This young man is called Wan Dapeng. Three years ago, because of his poor family, he had to drop out of high school and come to Beijing to work from his hometown. However, due to low academic qualifications and no special skills, I have never found a suitable job. Once, he went to a supermarket to apply for a job. Because he was wearing rustic clothes, he was arrested by the security guard as a thief.
Wan Dapeng's self-confidence has been greatly hit. When he was disheartened, a fellow villager helped him find a job in a restaurant. When he heard that he was going to the restaurant to serve food, Wan Dapeng was reluctant, but at this time he ran out of ammunition and could only reluctantly agree.
Sure enough, after working for a week, Wan Dapeng gave up. It's nothing to be bitter and tired, but the overbearing attitude and sarcastic tone of the guests made him unbearable. Knowing that he was leaving, the chef scolded, "If you can't even do such a small thing as serving food well, what else can you do?" Hurry back to your hometown! "
The chef's words angered Wan Dapeng, who refused to admit defeat. He secretly swore: ok, I'll show you the result!
Since then, Wan Dapeng has steadily picked up the plate. Gradually, he found that it was not easy to serve dishes. It is very important to announce the names of dishes, communicate with customers and recommend new dishes to guests. To this end, he voluntarily sacrificed his spare time to recite dishes, practiced various expressions of hospitality, and paid special attention to personal appearance. Wan Dapeng thinks that the waiter is the image of the hotel, and a clean personal image can bring pleasant dining mood to the guests. Soon, Wan Dapeng's serious attitude won the unanimous praise of the manager and customers.
Soon, the restaurant launched a special dish called "Iron Plate Series". This kind of dish, the iron plate that holds it alone weighs more than 40 kilograms, and needs careful and steady waiters to take care of it. Because of Wan Dapeng's outstanding performance, the manager gave him the task of "a long way to go".
Iron plates test people's endurance and physical strength. On the first day, after a dozen trips to the iron plate, Wan Dapeng was so tired that his back ached and his arms were as soft as noodles.
In the evening, lying in bed, Wan Dapeng was lost in thought. He thought in his mind that it is not only unsightly to put the iron plate flat on his chest and hold it in his hands, but also easy to make people tired and slow. When you put it in front of the guests, there will be no such "scratching" and smoking effect. Is there any way to change it?
After repeated observation and thinking, Wan Dapeng finally thought of a way: to slide from the smooth floor of the restaurant to the customer's table like an ice skater. In this way, not only the serving speed is fast, but also with the help of the forward inertia when sliding, there is no need to use too much force and the posture is much more elegant.
Thinking of this idea, Wan Dapeng began to practice secretly with an empty iron plate after work, and the effect was not bad. At work, Wan Dapeng also deliberately trained and tried to figure out the skills of skating, because the technology was not very skilled and caused a lot of trouble. On one occasion, he accidentally fell down while sliding, and his face suddenly touched the hot iron plate, and several blisters immediately swelled up; On another occasion, because the center of gravity was unstable and the iron plate was tilted, oil and water spilled on a customer's expensive coat, and he had to pay from his meager salary to send it to the dry cleaner for washing. Therefore, the manager criticized him and punished him for writing a review. Some colleagues kindly comforted him: work hard and don't think about those "unrealistic" things all day. But Wan Dapeng is not discouraged. He firmly believes that he will succeed as long as he works hard.
Finally, one day, when Wan Dapeng was carrying a hot iron plate, he slipped out of a dozen feet in a beautiful sliding dive and stopped at the guest table handsomely. All the customers in the audience were shocked and couldn't help applauding him.
Because of his first success, Wan Dapeng gradually mastered the methods and skills of sliding on the floor. Later, he added fancy movements such as backward sliding and rotation in the process of sliding, which made the whole sliding process look more perfect and wonderful.
With the familiar publicity of customers, Wan Dapeng's unique "sliding serving" method has gradually become a beautiful landscape of the restaurant. Many people come to the restaurant to eat just to see Wan Dapeng's "sliding step" performance. Because of Wan Dapeng's unique "unique skills", the number of customers in the restaurant has increased several times than before. Many customers gave thumbs up after watching Dapeng's performance, saying that it was like enjoying a wonderful "spiritual feast".
One day, several TV station staff came to the restaurant for dinner. They were surprised to see Wan Dapeng's iron plate performance and immediately decided to give him a program. After the program was broadcast in prime time, it aroused a strong response from the audience, and Wan Dapeng became more famous.
Today, Wan Dapeng has become the "golden signboard" of the restaurant, and his salary has risen from the initial few hundred yuan to more than 3,000 yuan now. He is the first waiter in Beijing and even in China. Wan Dapeng, on the other hand, received a dozen apprentices and taught them the unique skills of serving food.
Indeed, in this world, there is no distinction between high and low occupations. No matter what you do, as long as you really pay and work hard, you will be respected by others. Even if you are just a waiter in a small restaurant, as long as you do the best, this is success!
