For the purpose of the coffee shop, it will include the naming of the coffee and the structure for the ranking in the firm.

Moreover, rather than this, the most common things that have been included in all other coffee businesses are 1. Functional hierarchy (it includes different working departments mostly such as the HR department, financial department, and the marketing department. By this it provides the top -down monitoring more easy), Geographic division (based on the area targeted customers approaching strategy for better service and product delivery as per them), Product-based divisions (for example the main theme is coffee but that doesn’t mean that no other products are going to sell in this all sorts of differences which are going to be available are being acknowledged), and 4. Work team (different work teams working together in a rhythmic manner provides the necessary help in accomplishing the objective.)

Analysis of performance data –

The overall performance is not as per expected and that has been budgeted there has been much alteration from what has been expected especially talking as per the key indicators.

  1. As we can see that many different things get out of expectation including sales and it is not good for business. The only correct performing area as per the requirement of business is the employee benefit and the management which means teamwork among them gets pretty well.
  2. Customer service was good but not as per expected and could be better.
  3. Budgeting fails in every aspect.
  4. Ambience has cost more.
  5. Cleanliness also goes beyond expectation.

Skilled labor that is required –

The top 3 skilled labor that is required to attain the business objective in a given time are as:

  1. Frontline manager – Tanya white
  2. Head chef – Wong chu
  3. Customer service – Emma

After analyzing the given data it seems that above mentioned are the perfect fit for the requirement that has been needed by the firm.

Improvement that is required –

  1. Water bill is too high and the cleanliness does play a vital role but reducing it to some number won’t affect the overall cleanliness but it definitely going to fit in the budget.
  2. For customer service things could be changed in the menu to gain and attract more customers by discussing with the chef on behalf of the food preferences of customers.
  3. Ambience does go out of budget but switching to the less power-consuming light can solve the issue.
  4. For budgeting it has been seen that team needs more help because it does not go as per expected. Help from a third party or kind of training.

Ongoing review process –

The ongoing review process that could be done for the better management of the work could include the following things which are written below:

  1. Setting the objectives and checking their result after the provided deadline.
  2. Getting an update from the different assigned team leaders about the issues and performance of the work.
  3. And performing performance reviews at short intervals will solve the issue of bad performance.

Training plan for underperforming staff

It has been observed that Robert the waiter is doing good in his job but he lack the ability to identify the issue and raise it in correct time and this is the only drawback of his.

To resolve this issue he has been advised to work with his co-staff member which is Emma who has a similar role and work but has observed that she is doing her work better than Robert and by doing so and some training this small issue of underperformance will be resolved.

Performance indicator –

  1. Revenue per client – revenue from every single client is making the most of what profit it till now but it could get better if the number of client increase which will only be the result of a better experience a customer can have.
  2. Profit margin – profit margin in the food industry is good increasing the profit margin and giving profit will attract customers and then it will be easy to earn from selling more.
  3. Client retention rate – the client has left try to know the reason why and what is the reason that he has left and try to solve it.
  4. Customer satisfaction – customers are satisfied but not that much review on the subject is trying to provide more than just food as he can have it anywhere but not the experience working on the customers experience will give a better result.
