Sajid's Sub Shop faces several operational challenges that impact customer satisfaction and efficiency. Employees often get distracted by their phones, leading to delays in order processing and customer complaints.
have 2-3 employees serving orders, Sajid can hire more people if he is short on staff
one or both of the employees that are on their phones can step up and carry on with the orders of the customer that are waiting
Problem #4: other 2 employees in the back, sitting on cell phones
Sajid can assign each employee to a specific task so no employee has time to sit on their phone, and the restaurant is efficiently going
if there are extra employees, Sajid can fire them
Sajid can have a no phone policy, if seen on phone will be fired
Problem #3: employee arguing with customer
Sajid can deal with the customer and tell the employee to continue with the rest of the orders
employee can apologize to customer, solve issue
employee can respond politely to customer
Problem #2: messy dining area
Sajid should get someone to clean asap, this way customers can wait as they're seated
Sajid could check in a few times a week, to ensure shop is running well, and neat and tidy
one of the employees on their phone should be assigned to cleaning as people go, this way there won't be too much to do all together and other tasks can be completed
Problem #1: call-in order phone ringing
an employee can answer and inform customers they're delayed on orders and put them on hold for a minute or two so the customer is aware of why the phone is taking long/not being answered, prevents loss of customer
if it is too hectic for employees, Sajid can also resort to an online ordering method
can be answered by employees sitting in the back, each employee can be assigned a specific task
