Part 1: Case Study Scenario Scenario: You are the operations manager at the Hospitality Cooperative’s bar and bistro. The local suburban “pub” has been in operation for 40 years. It attracts all age groups and has been successful for decades. It was refurbished 3 years ago. It has a casual eating area serving a basic menu all day. There is an RSL club across the road which has been closed for renovations for the past year. The RSL club has just opened and there is a decline in patronage at the pub as a result. The Pub owner decides to visit the RSL club and notices some of his regular customers at the RSL club. He looks around and is impressed with the design and layout. There is an indoor/outdoor restaurant serving an extensive menu. You and the owner decide to introduce “Tapas and Taps”, which is a new concept that involves a comprehensive tapas menu with the additional option of a paddle of 6 beers with small tastings. These beers are matched to the set menu that includes 6 tapas items for $28.00. On the set menu, there are brief descriptions of each matching beer. The a la carte tapas menu includes, 10 cold and 10 hot items and 5 dessert/sweet options. These items are all individually priced. The concept of “Tapas and Taps” commenced on the 1 st July. The menu is offered on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 2-5pm, along with a live two- piece. Traditionally at this time of the day, the pub will serve food on average to 10 customers on Saturdays and 20 on Sundays with an average spend of $22 per person. During Tapas and Taps, the all-day menu is not available. It is expected that the “Tapas and Taps” will appeal to the 20-40-year age range and will mainly attract couples or groups of friends in the dual income no kids segment of the market. Posters are put up in the bar and bistro area to announce the new concept. No other advertising/marketing is planned. You have been involved in the development and implementation of this operation plan and have been monitoring its performance over the past four weeks since it commenced. The goals were to: Offer something new and exciting to current customers and to attract new customers Increase patronage at a generally quieter time of the day and thus Increasing revenue (both food and beverage) Document title: BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 Page 7 of 21 Resource ID: TES_18_007_BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 STUDENT NAME:
Create a sustainable business product for the long term Offer a new concept to the market. The KPI’s for the first 3 months are to: Utilise existing staff in a more productive manner to reduce wage costs during this period Operate within a 30 percent wage cost Increase customers in the 2-5pm time frame 500%. Average spend of $25 per cover achieved Increase overall revenue by 25% within four weeks Capture customer and staff feedback. The new concept has been in play for the past 4 weeks and it is time to review the performance of the operational plan. What has happened? Patronage has certainly increased, Sunday afternoons have been very popular. The demographic of the crowd that it has attracted has not been quite as expected. There are many more families and groups of families. Parents enjoying a couple of plates of food, and there has been reasonable sales of the beer paddles amongst the male customers. Glass of wine sales are good and bottled wine sales have increased. There has also been a couple of birthday party groups of around 20 people. (Again, an older demographic/family groups) The sales of the tasting menus have not been as popular as expected and sales of the beer tasting paddles without the matching food has been higher than expected. The band is proving very popular and a real draw card to the venue. There is a lot of interest in the beers and people are keen to discuss with the staff, however the bar supervisor is the only team member to have this knowledge. He is spending a lot of time talking to customers and is unable to fulfil the requirements of his position. This is difficult on Saturdays as he is the only person rostered onto the bar and on Sundays, this puts pressure on the other bar attendant. It has been difficult to accurately determine covers as the software system is being updated. Two of the Saturday’s were miserable weather, one had a torrential storm hit the area at 1.00pm. Document title: BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 Page 8 of 21 Resource ID: TES_18_007_BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 STUDENT NAME:
Payroll has been high. Particularly on Saturdays. The initial thoughts were that the market would mainly be DINKs and they would like the full table service experience. However, it has been found that many are heading to the bar and wanting to order their food straight away, without the hassle of splitting bills at the end of their “Session”. Staffing on Sundays has been working well front of house , the staff are appreciating the extra work. However, due to current rostering arrangements it has been difficult to get skilled kitchen staff on the Sunday shift. Sundays have traditionally been the head chef and kitchen supervisor’s day off it has always been a quiet day. It has become an expectation that these days are their standard day off and there will need to be some negotiating to change this expectation. Saturday staffing is also problematic, and staff are working long hours due to Saturday nights at the pub being busy. The supervising chef worked the last Sunday of the review period and feedback was vastly improved. Statistical data shows that revenue on Saturdays has been maintained and revenue on Sundays has more than tripled in this time slot (2.00pm-5.00pm). Current staffing levels are lean at: Saturdays: one floor staff, one bar and one chef Sundays: 2 floor staff, 2 bar and 2 chefs Food costs are generally on budget. There are certainly some items that are selling very well and others that are slow movers. Feedback from customers and staff has actively been sought. Customer feedback: Waited a long time for food (numerous comments particularly on Sundays) No options for children other than a bowl of chips A couple of items that are more substantial, I have come here on Sunday afternoons for years and want the hamburger I have always ordered Wanted to order at the bar but was told I would have to go back and wait for floor staff Like the beer tasting, but it has not changed More options for the non-beer drinkers, some cocktails, more wine by the glass Document title: BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 Page 9 of 21 Resource ID: TES_18_007_BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 STUDENT NAME:

Something for the kids to do while we are enjoying the band Shuttle service Sharing plates, lots deep fried Different bands would be good Sharing plates, discount for groups Ordered the sharing plate that match to the beer and asked staff about what beer going with what food and they had no idea.

Feedback from staff: Menu too extensive I am meant to be setting up for Saturday night and serve the tapas customers at the same time. This is not always possible. Can we encourage people to book? Loving the extra work on Sundays Food is too slow when we get a few orders up Need a new system, tallying up the beer paddle sales on a piece of paper beside the register is a bit difficult and sometimes I forget to record It is embarrassing when people ask about the beer matching, I have no idea.

Part 2: Short answer questions The owner has requested that you address the following points in preparation for a presentation to key stakeholders at this week’s department heads meeting. Stakeholders will include: Bar manager Floor manager Bookings and events coordinator Sales and marketing manager Financial investor Owner Operations manager (you) 1. What systems and/or process have been used to monitor and review performance and processes to assess the progress of the Tapas and Taps operational plan in achieving profit, productivity plans and KPI’s? To monitor and review performance and processes, we have implemented regular reporting and analysis of financial data, such as revenue and expenses, as well as staff productivity and customer feedback. We also use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track progress towards our operational goals. These systems allow us to make informed decisions and adjustments to our operational plan in order to improve profitability and productivity. 2. What does the data tell us about our productivity? Can we be using our staff more effectively? If so, how? Looking at the wages budget, we can see that in some cases (such as Sunday of week 1 and Sunday of week 3), actual wages exceeded the budget, indicating that we may have overstaffed during those times. Conversely, in some instances (such as Saturday of week 4 and Sunday of week 4), actual wages fell short of the budget, which may indicate that we could have used more staff during those times to generate higher sales. To better utilize staff, we can analyze sales patterns and staffing levels to determine optimal staffing levels for each day and time. For example, we may need to increase staffing levels during peak sales periods, such as Sunday of week 2 when actual sales Document title: BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 Page 14 of 21 Resource ID: TES_18_007_BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 STUDENT NAME:
significantly exceeded the budget, or decrease staffing levels during slower periods, such as Saturday of week 3 when actual sales were well below the budget. By aligning staffing levels with sales patterns, we can improve productivity and ensure that we are using our staff as effectively as possible. 3. What does the financial information tell us about revenue and profitability of the operational plan? On the positive side, the actual sales of Sunday 1, Sunday 3 and Sunday 4 are higher than the budgeted sales, which are $500, $500 and $1200 respectively. However, on the negative side, the actual sales of Saturday 1, Saturday 2, Saturday 3 and Saturday 4 are lower than the budgeted sales, resulting in a negative difference of $200, $500, $500 and $800 respectively. In general, these differences indicate that the operation plan may overestimate the potential sales of Saturday shifts and underestimate the potential sales of Sunday shifts. This information is very important for adjusting the operation plan to maximize revenue and profitability. 4. Identify at least (6) areas of underperformance/areas for improvement. Recommend solutions and design an implementation schedule (that includes a priority rating) that you and the owner will present at the meeting. These areas must align with the goals and KPI’s of the operational plan. Attach your implementation schedule to this case study assessment. 1.Slow food service during busy times 2.Inefficient beer paddle sales recording system 3.Lack of knowledge among staff about beer matching 4.Limited options for children and non-beer drinkers 5.Lack of entertainment for children 6.Inconsistent beer matching recommendations Recommendations and Implementation Schedule: 1.Slow food service during busy times: Priority Rating: High Solution: Document title: BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 Page 15 of 21 Resource ID: TES_18_007_BSBMGT517_AE_CS_3of3 STUDENT NAME:
