Chapter 33 33: Invitation
The Gardenford Restaurant was able to gain such a large amount of money because of its gimmicks. For instance, the beast-themed uniforms were able to give a huge impact to the citizens of the Soaring Cloud City. Never had there been a restaurant which have implemented this type of gimmick before. Such a refreshing type of customer raising method gave a great positive impact to them. Especially for some nerdy people, they were willing to pay again and again just to have some catgirls or bunny girls serve them.
Not only were the beastman-themed uniforms eye catching, but the customer service of this restaurant's employees were also excellent. The costumers were shocked how good the workers here are from the several days that they were not dining here. The customer service ratings were now at the average of 8.5! This was a drastic improvement from their initial results of 7.0 two weeks ago!
What fast improvement theses employees were experiencing ever since they were accepted in this restaurant. This type of employee guidance was impeccable. The businessmen who dined here could not help but feel shivers down their spines with how formidable Dylan is. His manner of management with his employees, customers, and business was truly frightening. Only now did they understand how terrifying Dylan's abilities in business are and swore to never offend this coiling dragon because they had a feeling that they will surely regret doing so if they did.
The compartmentalization of the restaurant was also a huge hit. The Kid's Playroom was a huge hit for children 4 to 10 years old as they felt that they became one with their elements and enjoyed playing together with other kids. The girls had their tea parties and doll playing while the boys had their imaginary fights. The kids were having so much fun playing that they wanted to stay longer.
When a boy got hurt and cried from playing imagination, Dylan immediately interfered to aid the kid who was in pain. Although Dylan interfered, he was able to successfully immerse with the kids playing as he introduced himself as a powerful warrioir. The kids were shocked by the sudden interference of this man who they called "evil lord" and attacked him all together but they could only concede when they witnessed his might. But, they soon discovered that the one they deemed as an "evil lord" was actually a "benevolent sage" that reminded them not to "vanquish" an enemy bit instead they should persuade him to be part of their campaign as the more forces they have in their ranks the easier it would be for their future campaigns against evil.
The boys' eyes shone in respect and reverence as they witnessed Dylan's benevolent act of "healing" an "injured' enemy and helping him get back up to his feet. They swore in their hearts to become someone who was as kind-hearted and strong as Dylan. The kids wanted to play with him even more but Dylan could only decline as he spoke these words to the children:
" I shall now take my leave. The wind whispers that I still have many to help those who are in need of my assistance. Worry not, young ones, I can see the each one of you possess the heart of mighty heroes. Let my teaching help you in your future journeys and adventures and guide you to the better path for you. We shall all meet again! Hahahaha."
The children found Dylan quite heroic even the girls saw this display of kindness to that kid. The girls thought that they had seen their prince charming that they had been waiting for. The boys felt that they saw the idol they were aspiring to be. The children loved Dylan and were even willing to write reviews about him and the restaurant.
The parents also had a very good review regarding this Kid's Playroom as it was placed in a conspicuous place and the spaces between each fences was wide enough for them to see the activities of their children and was narrow enough to prevent kids from accidentally going out of the Kid's Playroom. All of this made monitoring their children easier while not having any trouble entertaining them as they have other playmates who were kids just like them.
When the parents of the child, who got hurt and cried, saw what happened to their child, they immediately regretted leaving their kid in the Kid's Playroom and was set to make a complaint against the restaurant. But when they witnessed how Dylan handled the situation with finesse and even caused the children to idolize him, they felt relieved. In fact, every parent who saw this felt relieved and felt more reassured leaving their children to play when they saw how Dylan was still able to allocate some time just to help a kid who inconspicuously got hurt and play with their children.
Some single women felt how charming Dylan was when he was aiding the boy and stopped the boy from crying. They felt that Dylan would make a good husband and a good father making them look into his direction a couple of times. They were anticipating him wearing a beastman costume as mature thoughts flowed all throughout these ladies minds.
The Eden of Old was also praised by the elderly. They could not help but praise the ingenious work Dylan did. When they entered the Eden of Old, they were unable to hear anything from outside world as if they were taken to a paradise where peacefulness and silence were the only sound they could hear. When they looked over the fence, they saw the other customers talking and laughing but they were unable to hear even a sound of what they were saying. When they sat over the chairs of the tables, they were isolated from the outside world by the flowers and vines all over the fences.
It was an out of this world experience. The elderly were able to freely interact with each other.and eat without any type of distractions. Their topics were all about how amazing this type of setting was. They could not help but feel it would be a waste to live so they bought more delicacies for them to prolong their stay in this "world" of peace and quiet.
The discount that Dylan also came up made the sales of the restaurant skyrocket by twice because families would have more discount depending on their numbers. That was why many families ordered twice as much as their normal expenditure as they would get 10% every 5 persons in their group. There was even a group of customers that were a family of 25 and got half the price for the buffet they ordered.
Each of those were reasons why the Gardenford Restaurant was able to gain 3000 gold coins which was equivalent to 300 000 silver coins and it was still increasing at that!
Over at the Vigor's Hotel and Gourmet...
Andrew could only open his mouth in awe as he discovered how high Dylan was able to gain in the span of one hour! Discount? Beastman-themed Cafe? Compartments for the kids and the elderly? Advertisement? Why didn't he thought of any of that?! It was all so simple but it could bring good effects to a business brand.
He noticed that the customers he scavenged were leaving over by one. He saw a swarm of ladies heading to the Gardenford Restaurant talking about something like Dylan wearing a beastman costume.
Andrew was thoroughly angered! He called Amanda and said that he wants her to deliver a challenge to Dylan. Amanda could only warn him to stay composed and think carefully of his next course of action but Andrew disregarded Amanda's advice and roared at her to just follow orders. Amanda shook her head but she did not retaliate and followed his orders. Amanda took her leave and quietly set off to the Gardenford Restaurant outside the city.
Andrew was alone in his room and roared in anger:
"Dylan Ford!!! You will see how I, Andrew Vigor, will crush you!!! I refuse to admit defeat to someone like you!!!"
Back at the Gardenford Restaurant, Dylan was finally forced by his employees to wear that Lion King costume. But, Dylan incredibly looked immeasurably hot and handsome in this type of attire. He exuded something different from his gentlemanly prince charming aura. It transformed into a dominating, wild and badboy king aura.
His chest and abs were like perfectly engineered and completely complimented each other. Dylan's current appearance caused the girls to sweat, even Diane, an ice queen was blushing at the sight of this "spectacle".
When Dylan was seen by the restaurant wearing this, some girls fainted from shock, some ladies had their nose bleeding, while the rest of the females were blushing. The men had the eyes filled with envy because that was there dream body while the boys further idolized Dylan and further dreamed to become someone like him someday. There was even a small percentage of the men that Dylan saw lipbiting, winking and gesturing at him to come to them.
Dylan felt shivers on his spine when he saw those gazes and quickly averted his eyes and placed it somewhere else. Dylan's gaze landed upon a lonesome figure outside the restaurant. Dylan approached this lone figure and he saw that this was a woman.
The woman was devastatingly beautiful coupled with her smoking hot figure. She was already comparable to Rea Cross! The woman was seemingly looking for someone so Dylan approached this woman and talked to her.
"Good morning, dear customer. How may I help you?" Dylan said as his face was half covered by the mask.
"I'm looking for Dylan Ford." This beautiful figure was none other than Amanda.
"Ohhh you are currently talking to him." Dylan replied and lifted his mask off.
"What? Really?" Amanda was shocked. When she saw that this man was similar to the drawing, she gasped in shock. When she saw Dylan's illustration, she thought Dylan was only handsome because Dylan paid the illustrators but now it seemed like he was even more handsome compared to the illustrations. Not only that, she never anticipated that this Dylan Ford would have perfectly engineered body that was showing in front of her.
' How could he be this handsome? He is already comparable to a few young masters that I have seen in the capital?' Amanda thought as she felt her heart racing and pounding from this sight in front of her.
"Yes. Do you have any concerns?" Dylan politely asked
" M-my boss has instructed me to give this letter to you. Please pardon me, for I will now take my leave." Amanda first stuttered after recovering from being dazed but eventually was able to calm herself down and leave after saying goodbye.
When Amanda left, Dylan opened the letter he received.
"Oho... An invitation eh..." Dylan felt amused by Andrew's move.
