”Mr. Laine, the entire restaurant was renovated based on the standardized requirements for all Hello Hotpot branches. Everything has been designed to create a comfortable dining environment for the customers. Also, Hello Hotpot focuses on customer service.
“I think that as one of the most popular industries in the service domain, the food and beverage industry is well worth doing. But domestic businesses have yet to realize that customers don’t only need food that smells, looks, and tastes great; they also need to be meticulously taken care of when dining in.
“We need to make them feel a sense of enjoyment from being treated like superiors and let them enjoy the service provided by the waiters and waitresses. This is the biggest distinguishing point that sets Hello Hotpot apart from other hotpot restaurants and even other businesses in the food and beverage industry.”
Jones introduced Hello Hotpot’s distinguishing points and advantages to Jasper, looking as though he was itching to pour out all the contents from his brain and lay them out in front of him.
Jasper looked around as he walked, nodding from time to time.
Jasper knew Hello Hotpot’s distinguishing points better than Jonas himself.
Was Hello Hotpot really that tasty?
To be honest, the food was only average.
Though what made it successful was its extremely meticulous service.
As other businesses in the food and beverage industry were racking their brains to cook better food, Jonas was keenly aware of the fact that it was difficult to cater to everyone’s tastes. Even the best chef could not cook a dish that everyone liked. Therefore, he took a different approach and started from the service.
Then, Hello Hotpot succeeded.
At its peak, the Hello Hotpot brand was worth hundreds of billions, and with Hello Hotpot’s glorious reputation, Jonas was also listed among the top 50 most influential businessmen in the country.
Making it to a ranking list like that did not mean anything substantive, but at least it proved that Jonas was, at the time, already standing on higher ground in the business world where he could smile at the passing scene before his eyes.
In fact, only a few knew that Jonas’ personality was problematic.
However, this had nothing to do with Jasper.
No matter how arrogant he was, Jasper did not think that Jonas could ride roughshod over him after his reincarnation.
As for his cousin… Jasper looked meaningfully at Darrel. He was in danger.
How could a fresh graduate who started his own business with less than two years of working experience contend with an old bird like Jonas?
He knew just by seeing how Jonas was talking incessantly the whole time without leaving a chance for Darrel to speak at all that Darrel was no match for Jonas.
However, Jasper had nothing to say about this either.
Whether it was his cousin or his younger brother, they had their own paths to take. There was no way that Jasper could help them for life.
Their ability to comprehend and grow was up to their luck.
If Darrel failed to comprehend and grow, was Jasper supposed to press Jonas’ head down and make Darrel the boss?
“It’s pretty good.” Jasper nodded, finally giving his comment.
“I think you have really innovative ideas and it’s completely doable. The food and beverage industry is different from other industries. Catering to all tastes is a problem that has existed a very long time ago, not to mention with a large-scale restaurant chain.
“If we just focus on food, we won’t satisfy everyone, but if we manage our service well and as long as the food is decent, then we can always win the majority’s favor.”
Jasper’s words had hit the nail on the head.
Although Jasper was much younger than him, Jonas admired Jasper very much at this moment.
Sure enough, he was worthy of the reputation for venturing into a major industry at a very young age. He needed only to say a few words and Jasper could already tell what he was thinking about.
“I feel much more confident after gaining your recognition, Mr. Laine,” Jonas said excitedly.
After a chuckle, Jasper said, “As I said, I don’t know much about the food and beverage industry.”
“I only invested this time because Darrel wants to start his own business. I listened to his idea and thought it was really good. I also agree with your concept, Mr. Jonas, that’s why I invested some money. However, I will not interfere with the specific operations of the restaurant. You guys do what you need to do.
“This cousin of mine is inexperienced and can be immature at handling certain things. Experience can always be accumulated from the process of suffering losses. These are all trivial matters.
“You’re experienced in this, Mr. Jonas. Can you give him a hand?”
Upon hearing Jasper’s reminder, Jonas hastened to say, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. I’ll treat Darrel like my own brother.”
“I’m glad to hear that,” Jasper chuckled and said, “As for Hello Hotpot, apart from everything else, you don’t have to worry about its early-stage development in Southeast Province. If you need capital, then I’ll give you capital. If you need prestige, then I’ll get you prestige.
“The only thing I ask of you is to stick to what you intended to do in the first place and do your very best.”
Perhaps Jasper was the only one who could say such bold and lofty words in Southeast Province and actually stay true to his words.
Jonas was so excited that his face was flushed. He felt as though he had seen a golden and dazzling path revealing itself in front of him. He said excitedly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine, I definitely won’t let you down.”
“You mean ‘we’,” Jasper pointed at Darrel and said meaningfully.
“Haha.” Jonas laughed dryly to conceal his awkwardness. “Yes, we.”
After taking a tour around the place, Wendy interrupted their conversation.
“Are you done? I’m starving to death,” Wendy said to Jasper with displeasure.
Jasper smacked his forehead. “I was too focused on talking that I forgot. My baby must be starving. Let’s go, then. Prepare a hotpot for us. I haven’t eaten this for a very long time and I really miss it.”
Both bosses Jonas and Darrel took on the role of waiters, personally setting up a hotpot and preparing the dishes for Jasper. However, Jasper was displeased with their exaggerated attitude.
“It’s your opening today. There are many things that you need to handle, so don’t linger around us. We’ll manage. Just treat us as ordinary customers.”
After chasing the duo away, Jasper took Wendy to the sauces area and said with a smile.
“Try these sauces. The seafood and hot sauces are secret recipes from Jonas’ hometown. I heard that Jonas spent a lot of money to get these recipes. Let’s see how different it is from the hotpots in Nauritus City.”
Just as Jasper and Wendy were choosing the sauces, loud cursing was heard coming from the next table. Then, Jasper heard a soft and tender female voice crying out in a panic, followed by the sound of tableware crashing to the ground.
Tiffany!
Jasper immediately turned around to look.
