Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 829 System, Do You Take Me For an Idiot?

News of Mag securing the best dish award during the royal banquet spread like wildfire around the entire Chaos City. Of course, the foodie community was particularly interested in hearing this news.

King Andre’s royal banquet was a gathering of all of the top chefs in the world. It was said that each chef could only cook one or two dishes, and it was often the case that their dishes weren’t even presented to the king.

For Mag to secure the best dish award on such a prestigious occasion was a strong testament to his cooking. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

It was quite incredible that such an exceptional chef could hail from Chaos City, and the restaurant that he’d opened in the Aden Square naturally became the hot topic among all of the avid foodies in the city.

Rodu had always been renowned as the capital of delicious cuisine; it was the holy land in the hearts of all of the foodies on the Norland Continent.

After all, everyone who had been to Rodu and tasted the cuisines offered by the multitude of food streets there simply couldn’t find any other place on the continent that could match that culinary experience.

Duke Abraham had once been of the same opinion, so he’d never left Rodu as nowhere else could compare in his heart.

However, he had now been drawn away from Rodu by something superior.

“Are you sure that’s Chaos City?” Abraham was pointing at the city in the distance with an excited look on his face as he sat atop his obese black falcon.

“That’s right, Duke Abraham, we’re about to reach Chaos City soon!” The beast tamer beside him nodded with excitement, but his expression fell as he looked down at the black falcon underfoot. “But it looks like our steed is struggling again. We’ll have to land somewhere and allow it to rest for an hour or so...”

“Huff... Huff... Huff...”

The black falcon was panting heavily as it flapped its wings with difficulty, looking as if it could plummet out of the sky at any moment.

A furious look appeared on Abraham’s face. “What?! It has to rest again? This is the 10th time! You told me yesterday that we’d reach Chaos City by yesterday afternoon, but it’s been a day and a night, and we’ve only just managed to see Chaos City in the distance! Are you playing with me?”

The beast tamer’s face paled as he hurriedly replied, “I wouldn’t dare to do that, Duke Abraham! It’s just that... we’ve already unloaded all excess baggage from the falcon’s back, but I didn’t think that its own weight would be enough to make it struggle so much, so...”

Abraham waved an impatient hand through the air, and said, “I don’t care! I have to get to Chaos City right away; throw off everything that I don’t need!”

“But... we’ve already thrown off all of the guards and luggage yesterday; you and I are the only ones left now,” the beast tamer said in a trembling voice.

Abraham cast his gaze out into the empty sky, and then turned back to the beast tamer.

The beast tamer’s eyes gradually widened as a harrowing thought occurred to him.

“Argh...”

Right at this moment, the overweight black falcon’s wings suddenly ceased flapping, and it plummeted from the sky like a giant meatball...

Two screams of shock and horror rang out in unison...

...

When noon struck, Yabemiya entered the restaurant with a shocked look on her face as she exclaimed, “Boss, the line outside is starting to coil around the Aden Square; there are way too many customers!”

“There are indeed quite a few customers.” Mag nodded with a slightly astonished look in response.

The line outside the restaurant wasn’t quite as long as Yabemiya was proclaiming it to be, but there were at least 500 people in the line already; it was more than twice the number of customers that normally visited their restaurant during the lunch service, and that number was constantly increasing.

Sally wore a concerned look as she said, “Won’t there be many customers who line up for a long time but won’t be able to get a meal?”

Yabemiya nodded with a sympathetic look as she chimed in, “I’m worried about that too. They’d be really sad if they lined up for so long but didn’t get to eat what they were so excited for.”

Mag contemplated the situation with furrowed brows before making his way over to the counter as he said, “Miya, I’ll write up a notice while you go and count out the customers. Once you get to the 300th customer in the line, tell everyone behind them that there are too many customers for us to serve, and tell them to come back next time.”

“Alright.” Yabemiya nodded in response.

Mag quickly wrote up a simple notice. The lunch service wasn’t all that long, so serving 300 customers would most likely be the extent of the restaurant’s capabilities.

“After you inform all of the customers behind the 300th customer of the situation, you can give this notice to the 300th customer and get them to explain what’s going on to all of the customers that come thereafter. That way, you won’t have to constantly stand at the back of the line during the lunch service,” Mag instructed as he handed the notice to Yabemiya.

“Alright, I’ll do that right away.” Yabemiya nodded before hurrying out the restaurant.

“Being too popular is quite a headache in itself.” Mag sighed in a resigned manner as he looked out at the customers lined up outside the restaurant.

Other restaurant owners would probably tear their hair out by the roots if they were to hear that. An amused smile appeared on Sally’s face as she looked at Mag. She had already heard about the new notice released by the city lord’s castle; Mag had done something that they’d desperately wanted to do, but didn’t have the ability to accomplish.

He really is a good and kind person, Sally thought to herself as her gaze fell on Mag’s long and slender fingers. A thought then seemed to have occurred to her, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face as her feet squirmed reflexively in a rather awkward manner.

“This wouldn’t be a problem if you extended the duration of the services. If you extended the breakfast service by two hours, you’d be able to serve 300 more customers; if you extended the lunch service by another two hours, you’d be able to serve 600 more customers; if you extended the dinner service by three hours on top of that, you’d be able to serve 1,000 more customers per day! You’d be rolling in profit!!” the system urged in a vehement manner.

“System, do you take me for an idiot? If I work 24 hours a day, when would I get any time to myself?” Mag pursed his lips with disdain before asking, “Have you finished renovating the staff dormitory?”

“All of the renovations have been completed, and the air purification process is currently underway. It should be ready for inhabitants in around an hour or so.”

“Good.” Mag nodded with a pleased expression. Mag had specifically requested different designs for the three rooms based on the personalities of his service staff.

During lunch, Mag put down his chopsticks with a smile, and announced, “The new employee dormitory is ready, and you can all move in today. After the lunch service, I’ll take you there to have a look; it’s situated on the floor directly above Miya’s ice cream shop.”

“Above the ice cream shop?” Yabemiya’s mouth gaped open with surprise. She hadn’t heard aby sounds of renovations in the past few days during her time at the ice cream shop.

“An employee dormitory?” Sally was rather perplexed.

“That’s right. I’m rather concerned about how unsafe it is for all of you to live on your own, and your living quarters are all a little far away from the restaurant. As such, I’ll be providing a dormitory to all of you as an employee benefit,” Mag replied as he nodded with a smile.
