Activities
Complete the following activities.
1.
Carefully read the following scenario
You are the café manager of a popular café within the Blue Healer Hotel and Spa. The owner has provided you with the budget for the next quarter and it is part of your responsibility to allocate resources and manage the finances within the budget. The budget has been increased in month three as this is a popular month where lots of visitors stay at the Blue Healer and neighbouring guest houses as there is a music festival on. As such, additional wait staff will be
hired on a casual basis and less private catering jobs will be booked in as the café will be at its peak.
Additional information:
The business uses local suppliers but due to a recent drought the cost of meat with the usual supplier, Fresh Farms, went up by 7% last
month.
The café serves breakfast, light meals, light dinners and sharing plates, smoothies, coffee, pastries and is a local favourite for its homemade iced tea.
Due to the clientele of the hotel and health spa, and the area within which the Blue Healer is located, there have been a number of requests for more vegetarian and vegan options.
Apart from you and the owner (you also cook and prepare food) there
is full-time chef named Navneet, two part-time kitchen porters and casual wait staff employed.
There has been a pattern of food wastage in the past two months with too much fruit purchased that spoiled before it could be used as the iced tea became so popular that not as many smoothies were made and sold.
The food budget has blown out over the past three months but the owner can’t increase it as the profit from the café is being invested into building and landscaping works to create an outside undercover area that will double the capacity of the café.
The business uses Wave Accounting free online software for recording income and expenditure but makes use of Excel spreadsheets for budgeting and planning purposes. ANSWER:

Look at the cost of sales figures related to food and beverage purchases which is the
food and beverage budget that is allocated to you. Do some research and source some local meat suppliers in your area and check out the costs of menu items you have planned for previously in the past, or meals you are familiar with and see what that 7% could look like and the impact over a three month period. Bring this information with you to the meeting in the next activity step to provide recommendations to the owner. Think about how you can work effectively with the budget allocated to you and the changes you could make to manage the finances more effectively. Make notes on your research and findings for use in the following activity.
ANSWER:
We need the change in suppliers for meat product as fresh farms is likely to increase prices of their circumstances. There are several meat suppliers around us beside fresh farms like Green farm, Everest Butchery who are supplying in 40% less cheaper rates. That means we would have to pay $340 less than Fresh farms. Also, comparably, there are not much of the differences in quality as well. These suppliers have some good reviews from customers too. These corporations are in the suitable places where there are very less chances of getting sort of resources like water and other important requirement to run the factory which helps in the continuous flow of © International Institute of Education RTO: 45150

1.
Have a meeting with the owner to discuss the budget and fund allocation
Now that you have reviewed all the information, have a meeting with the manager (your assessor) at the date and
time advised to discuss any concerns, priorities and changes you would like to make before you allocate the funds. Review the new suppliers you have sourced with your assessor. ANSWER:
The purpose of this meeting with the owner to discuss the budget and fund allocation is to manage operating resources. It is also necessary to be involved in because you will suggest future adjustment in budget based on current situation. As well as, you will be carried out all actions steps to avoid such issues in future and involved due to cash flow issues.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
Speaking clearly and concisely
Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
Asking questions to identify required information
Responding to questions as required.
ANSWER: From the above question, I have mentioned all answer below:
Good communication skills can get better the method that we activate from beginning to end of business, smoothing we way in our relationships with others business.
Poor communication skills, on the other hand, can unpleasant relationships from business to personal, and make our business considerably harder.
Some people appear to recognize how to communicate without even trying. They can modify their verbal communication, quality and communication to their business, and acquire their point across rapidly and briefly, in a way that is heard. They are also able to pick up the messages sent to them rapidly, understanding both what is said, and what has not been said.
This may look like natural, but the probability is that they have used up prosperity of time honing their skills.
2.

The owners should emphasis on are sales and revenue as the adjustments came out less in sales and revenue and the budgeted amount are is more than the actual budget amount of the both months. They should examine into whether it was budgeted are too high or something happened to make the revenue less than it was expected.
Moreover, all the variances cost seemed to be lower than the budgeted, so these make it to the result of extremely low point gain on the whole.

Café manager: good morning! How are you?
Accessor: I am good. And what about you?
Café manger: I am good thank you. What brings today in our café?
Accessor: well, I just want to know how you are dealing with the wastage of food items in your café?
Café manager: at present our café is unable to manage the food wastage due to
which the cafes budgets has increased. So, I think it would be better if our café
budgeted plan is to be followed properly than there won’t be any food items wastage.
Accessor: well, it seems quite complex because the wastage of food item has not been controlled. It’s the matter to talk over. Did you reviewed the cafes quarterly budget in order to plan and look for the solution to reduce the problem?
Café manager: well I had a glance over the cafes quartley budget, where it is found that the cost of the purchased goods seems to be higher than the 3-month comparison to the 1 and 2 months of café being opened foe customers.
Accessor: in this case the café must be handling the items which are more expensive and its due to the wastage of food items yes! Well, it been long meeting I will provide you attachment about monitor budget.
please kindly find.

Monitor activities – month 2
It is the end of month 2. You have kept to the overall budget, but funds have had to be rearranged in the following ways:
There was an accident when unloading the vegetable crate one week and all the produce was spoiled. You had to purchase a second crate which pushed your amount spent with the vegetable supplier up by 10%.
To accommodate for the overspend, you reduced the amount spent on cakes and
pastries by that same amount and baked inhouse. Enter the expenditure figures into the accounting software as outlined in your fund allocation document but consider the information above and work out the variances. Print a report of the entries or take a screenshot and submit to your assessor. It is the end of month 2. You have kept to the overall budget, but funds have had to be

of one week. So, to solve that problem be we started to bake the cake in the house. For example, our 10% allocation of vegetable was $300, and we reduce our amount of cake without purchasing the cake from the factory. Which helped our business to overcome our problems and easily balanced our budget as usual. © International Institute of Education RTO: 45150

It is the end of month 3. The following has happened:
Due to recent environmental conditions, less people came to the local area than planned for and many people cancelled their accommodation at Blue Healer. Some of
the food for the first week had already been ordered and as such – there was a lot that went to waste. The figures have been calculated for the month based on 4 weeks.
$6000 was spent on food in preparation for the increased numbers but during the first week there was a total waste of 35%. Many items were able to be frozen, and as such
the budget can be amended for the next quarter to try and recoup some of the losses. The following three weeks the same amount was spent as budgeted for the two prior months, being $3,750 per week and a total of $6000 for the month was spent on beverages. Enter the expenditure figures into the accounting software as outlined in your fund allocation document but consider the information above and work out the variances.
