The Gourmet Customizer

Su Chen used to be a food livestreamer—until he suddenly transmigrates and wakes up as the boss of a ready-to-eat meal company that’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

The company is drowning in debt, and the last thing left to settle is employee subsidies. With no other choice, Su Chen decides to step into the kitchen himself to save it.

What follows is nothing like anyone expected.

Braised pork that’s rich but not greasy. Sweet and fragrant Longjing shrimp. Tofu dishes that balance savory and sweet perfectly. Even long-lost traditional recipes start making a comeback on the company menu.

The moment these meals are served in the staff cafeteria, the remaining employees are completely shocked.

Soon, things spiral in a direction no one saw coming:

“Boss, can I host my class reunion here tomorrow? I’ll pay!”
“Boss Su, it’s my mother-in-law’s birthday—please cook for us, I’ll pay extra!”
“Boss, my friend wants to join the company just for the meals. Salary doesn’t matter!”

A few months later, Su Chen sits in his boss chair, staring at an office that’s been completely turned into a dining hall, packed every day.

“I just wanted to pay off a little debt… how did I end up running a restaurant?”

Just when he thinks things couldn’t get any crazier, a new letter arrives from afar:

“Boss Su, we’ll have to trouble you to prepare the banquet for our foreign guests.”
