At the time of booking, we should keep a close eye on the little things, so that no question mark is put on the reputation of the cafe or the people related to it. All the work related to the cafe should be distributed according to the qualification of its staff and should keep taking information about all the related work distributed (Mundt, et al., 2020).
How can manager delegates their duties better?
The manager should make all the employees fully aware of their work and responsibilities and they should be asked to do a thorough check of all kinds of items which were useful in today’s program and from time to time all the goods which are available on this occasion. They need to check whether they are working. With this, no customer will have to face any problem and their time will also be saved (Mundt, et al., 2020).
