Fired Up! (來！金來號！)

Congrats on graduating!

Are you looking at schools?

America or the UK, either works.

I support you no matter what.

You can stay there to work afterward.

How does that sound?

Looks like it's starting.

It's starting!

Hurry up!

It's starting!

Hurry up!

I know I can do well at anything,

but is that guaranteed path to success.

YES - NO

really what I want?

Or maybe...

I should trust my gut this time?

YES

Just post a photo

and it gets over 5,000 likes.

This girl is so popular.

Trust me.

In two months, I'll revive this restaurant.

This is a small restaurant.

And I'm always here.

I don't think we need a manager.

He's right. Or if your friends haven't had enough,

I can treat them to a real heavy serving.

Bro, can you serve me a side dish?

Why?

Go get it.

Hurry up.

Stop!

Do you know what the problem is?

Keep your fingers out of the plates when serving.

With so many dishes on the menu,

which one is your signature dish?

All our dishes are delicious.

Customers will never know how to order.

Make all of them for me.

I've deleted most dishes that are not cost effective

and that nobody orders.

We should find our signature dishes.

These are indeed the dishes that are losing us money.

Since you're the chef here,

you should go back to where you belong and think about what your specialty is.

You can eat 80% of those dishes at Chang Xin.

They have better service, atmosphere, and a more upscale setting.

To be honest, if I were a customer today,

why would I come to your restaurant?

All you need is tasty dishes, good service, and brand reliability.

All you've got

is tasty dishes.

I can train you on service.

I'm good at building brand reliability.

All your weaknesses are what I'm good at. How's that?

Do you still think you don't need me?

I'm wondering

why you have to be our manager.

My instinct.

I don't know why, but the fried rice you made really touched me.

Because I feel that

in you and here, I can find my future.

That's my instinct.

Guys, this girl, Chao Yi-hsuan,

is our new manager here.

If you own a restaurant, you need to eat everywhere.

You haven't tried enough.

Let's eat at all the restaurants around here.

Hi. Here's the menu. Take your time.

Tell me when you're ready to order.

Thank you.

Your turn. A smile.

A smile.

Ok, maybe that's not your style.

You already look like a gangster.

And no long face or slouching.

Have you ordered seafood pizza?

No.

Are you sure?

We said no.

I'm sorry.

See?

- Have you ordered seafood pizza? - Yeah.

We want braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with onion,

and Hakka stir-fry.

I'm sorry. Can you say that again?

- I want some water. - Oh, ok.

- Warm water. - Ok.

Excellent service is all about

being one step ahead of the customer's needs.

- Chin-nan... - Yeah, I'm lame.

I'll make myself better.

We need to differentiate ourselves from our surrounding restaurants.

So, I hereby redefine our restaurant as a Taiwan-style bistro.

We need to change our menu and decoration.

But we've redecorated not long ago.

Let's give our customers a breath of fresh air.

JIN LAI HAO

Today, we're deciding on our signature dish.

Why does every customer have to order it?

That's the story we'll tell them.

If you tell a good story, it sells, ok?

Steamed Fish with Cordia Dichotoma can be our signature.

I've always wanted to promote milk fish.

It's easy to cook,

but it brings out the flavor of the ingredients.

Plus, it connects me with my dad and is what got me into cooking.

That's a great story.

But one whole fish seems too much.

Maybe we'll do a fish fillet

and present it like a Western-style fish en papillote .

Good idea.

I also suggest Three-cup Chicken be our signature dish.

It's a cooking method unique to Taiwan.

It's easy, efficient to make, and looks good.

Boss will make a fish fillet en papillote

while Yu-li will make three-cup chicken.

Let's hold an online vote.

Ok. This is our boss, Chou Lu-Yung.

We're preparing the ingredients now.

This is our other chef, Yu-li.

Hello!

They're working really hard...

You're in the shot!

We can't use it now.

What are you cooking?

Three-cup Chicken!

It smells good.

How to season it?

Rice wine. We're adding rice wine.

Yeah, that's rice wine.

Good.

Nice!

Are you afraid of the flames, Yu-li?

You're afraid of fire?

Does anyone know that?

Who can answer me?

Is Yu-li afraid of fire?

Tell me.

Why did you hire her?

I hired her to be a chef.

Hired someone afraid of fire to be a chef?

Yu-li's trained in Western cooking.

They don't use a high flame.

We intentionally avoid such dishes on our menu.

Can't you see our signboard says "Taiwanese cuisine"?

Her stir-fry dishes are unstable,

but except for those, nothing's wrong with her.

You're telling me our signature dish doesn't have to be the best.

A chef who's afraid of fire.

I've never heard anything more absurd.

I'm a fish that's scared of water.

I don't know why you hired her.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

She's not a sow's ear.

She has been working hard for years.

You know,

new decoration and better service aren't enough.

What determines if we succeed or fail is the flavor.

We need consistent flavor.

You hired me as your manager, so you need to trust my judgment.

With me here,

Jin Lai Hao will only get bigger and better.

You can't help her forever.

Are you happy here?

Yeah.

Do you enjoy working here?

Yes, I do.

But you've been afraid of fire for a long while

and you haven't solved the problem.

Everyone here wants Jin Lai Hao to be better and bigger.

But your stir-frying is too inconsistent,

which will be a huge problem for us.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah.

Take it.

Boss,

don't do this.

It's this month's salary.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

I've doubled the money.

Are you crazy?

If you enjoy working here,

I want you to work twice as hard

to make this double pay worth it.

While we're renovating the restaurant,

overcome your fear of fire.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Good.

Have you heard what she has promised me?

Wait. Boss...

Yeah, one more thing.

Listen.

Working at Jin Lai Hao

means you are my partners, my teammates,

and my family.

So, whatever happens,
