learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.

Flexibility - Assessment is flexible to the individual learner by reflecting the learner’s needs, assessing
competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and drawing from a range
of assessment methods and using those that are appropriate to the context, the unit of competency and
associated assessment requirements, and the individual.

Validity - Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the
individual learner. Validity requires assessment against the unit(s) of competency and the associated
assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent
performance. It also requires assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application
and the assessment tasks to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these
skills and knowledge in other similar situations. Additionally it requires judgement of competence is based on
evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment
requirements.

Reliability - Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are
comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.

Answer allthe questions given below:


1. Consider the simulated business Café Paradiso – Mountain Glen, NSW given in appendix or any
workplace you are familiar with. Write the resource requirement that may be needed when implementing
operational plan (150 words) (P.C. 1.1, P.E.1)

Whenever starts any Restaurants and Café’s management always make sure to make a plan and
strategy, towards their business. It helps management to attract customers and gain profit and
reputation on market (Mishra 2013).

Some following examples of how and what to needed when establishing any operational plan
are:

1. Right Menu: Always first priorities of manager of any restaurant and cafés to check menu
and mentioned all valuable and attractive dishes in menu’s. Which customers are likely to eat
most on that particular place.

2. Necessary Staffing Requirements: Well in Café’s there will be not much staffs were
available, but at least that much so they can manage, kitchen and on floor also.

2. Consider the Café Paradisp – Mountain Glen, NSW simulated business or any business/workplace you are
familiar with. While developing operational plan, there are various personnel, colleagues and specialist
resource managers who need to be consulted. Discuss the types of people who you may need to consult.
Justify you response with proper explanation(150 words) (P.C. 1.1, P.E. 2).

For developing an Operational Plan means to divide or distribute roles to peoples like, who, what
and how of their daily operations over course of next year. It defines that how human, financial
and physical resources will be assign, to achieve short-term goals that gave some uphold their

3. Explain the integral components of an operational plan (150 words) (P.C. 1.3, P.E.1, 2, 3, K.E. 1).

To Improve an Operational Plan an Organization needs to take some serious steps towards their
business.

Few keystone fundamentals of an Operational Plan which we can use are:

 Clear Objectives: To start a business our objectives have to be very clear, so we got to know
on what circumstances we should take actions and how to face that hurdles (Hinton 2012).

 Activities to be delivered: When atask is given to bunch of people but there is more work
than people, things were always messed up and peoples get frustrated also, it will be better if
activities should be delivered to all same.

4. Define the term ‘KPI’. How KPT can help to assess progress of operational plan(150 words). (P.C. 1.3, P.E.
1, K.E. 1, 2)

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) this is a quantifiable value that denote how a company is working
on whole year and how much they achieve in key business. Organizations use this method to know
how constructively they achieve their target. Key Performance Indicator can help to assess progress
of operational plan in many ways like increasing sponsorship revenue, measuring the actual result
of strategies and by making comparisons between desired results and actual results.

5. Explain three situations where you may have to implement a contingency plan(150 words) (P.C 1.4, P.E.
1, K.E.4)

Contingency Plans are the plan that are developed to deal with high risk unpredictable events,
situations or circumstances that can be a disaster or like a disaster for an organization, to ensure the
safety of people’s lives of and minimize losses (Mische & Wilkerson 2016). The three situations in
which the need to implement contingency plan may arise are:

1. At the time of fire

2. At the time of a disaster like earthquake

3. At the time of any materialistic damage

6. When implementing an operational plan you may need to work through a consultation process to
communication information. Give an example of how this could be carried out.(150 words) (P.C. 1.2, P.E.
2)

Communication is the key to unlock any door. Without the exchange of information and ideas and
passing the information from one person to another, operational plan cannot be implemented. For
Example: When Senior management explains key aspects of the operational plan to the staff or the
team and deal with the questions that staff raise about the plan. This consultation process would be
like a training for them in which they may better understand their roles, tasks and responsibilities
and that’s how overall achievement of operational plan may take place.

7. Ensuring of recruiting suitable employees is important in the success of an organisation. Give an example
of a policy, practice and/or procedure that may have an impact on how employees are recruited an
inducted (150 words) (P.C. 2.1, P.E.3, K.E. 6)

Policy of gender equality is one of the example that will have a strong impact on the recruitment of
employees. It is the policy concerned with justice and equality.

8. When implementing operational plans it is important to do so within the organisation’s policies, practices
and procedures and in consultation with relevant personnel. Justify the scenario with sufficient explanation
(150 words) (P.C. 1.2,2.2, K.E. 6)

It is quite obvious that the implementation of an operational plan should be in accordance with the
organization’s practices and procedures and it is also important that it should be relevant. No policy
or procedure should be ignored or avoided or it may lead to negative consequences. Policies and
procedures are the guidelines that set standards about how an operational plan should be
implemented. They include all the dos and don’ts.

9. Formal processes are used within organisations to measure performance. Give two (2) examples of
these that can be used to assess progress in achieving plans and targets(150 words) (P.C 3.1):

Decision Making Process and Behavioral Process are the two examples of the processes used
within organizations. These two processes definitely helps in the progress and plays a vital role.

- Decision Making Process is the process of choosing the best alternative from among the
various alternatives available. Decision Making Process focuses on the decisions being taken
within the organization for the betterment of organization. Right decision will lead towards rise
and success and wrong decision will lead towards the downfall or failure.

- Behavioral process is the process that focuses on values, beliefs, learning and
motivation of all the people associated with the organization for the achievement of a common
goal or objective. Its concern is to keep them motivated for the smooth functioning and
achieving plans and targets.

10. Discuss the use

11. Discuss the role of organisational policies when unsatisfactory performance of employee is
identified(150 words) (P.C. 3.3, K.E.2).

Budget and financial information plays a vital role in maintaining all the incomes and expenses
of an organization. All the cash inflows and outflows of an organization should be maintained
and recorded for the purpose of effective and efficient financial management of the company.

12

12. When monitoring operational performance, a manager must be able to provide mentoring, coaching
and supervision to support employees to use resources effectively, economically and safely. Justify the
scenario with sufficient explanation.(150 words) (P.C. 3.4, P.E. 3)

Just like the saying, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Manager has responsibilities
of mentoring, coaching and supervising to support employees for optimum utilization of
resources. It is very necessary for a manager to act as mentor, coach and a friend with the
employees while monitoring operational performance. The success of operations and operational
plans depend on the supervision being provided to the employees who are the main performers.
A manager should be friendly and approachable.

13. During the monitoring stages, there may need to be variations made to the operational plans. In
order to implement these, approval needs to be given by certain people within the organisation. Give
an example of a designated person or group of people who may need to approve of a change to an
organisational plan (150 words) (P.C. 3.5, P.E. 2).

As we know that there are three levels in the Organization Hierarchy:

- Top level management people are the leaders of the organization such as
Chairperson of the Board, President, Vice president, corporate head, Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Operational Officer (COO), Chief
Information Officer (CIO). They are the main authorities who set goals and objectives for
the organization and make decisions affecting the entirety of the firm. It is on them to take
the major decisions. No changes can be made in any plan without their approval. Their
approval is required to approve any change in any organizational plan.

14. Give an example of a system, procedure and/or record that is associated with performance (150
words) (P.C. 3.6, K.E. 6)

Performance Management System, for example: 360 degree appraisal system helps to
evaluate performance of employees. It includes self-appraisal, peer review and review by
superiors. It is based upon the Key Performance Indicators set for each employee in the
beginning of the performance year. It is a transparent system which helps the employees to
understand their tasks, roles and responsibilities clearly. They are thus aligned with the
Company’s goals and can perform as per the expectations of the company. Thus, the
functioning of the company becomes effective and efficient. The Rewards and Recognitions

given to the employees can be fair and justified and prove to be more acceptable to the
employee. Thus, a positive work-culture is established in the organization. The training needs
and requirements of the workers are also easily identified and this helps them learn and grow.
The organization is thus on a positive growth path. The whole system must be well structured
for it to work.

line with the requirements of the Training Package.
 Requires the student to demonstrate all of the skills and knowledge outlined in the components of the

different contexts and environments and perform tasks to an appropriate level expected by a
workplace.
 Considers’ the students’ dimensions of competency when making all assessment decisions.
Dimensions of Competency refer to the types of skills a person must have to perform effectively in a
broad capacity. The dimensions of competency ensure the person being assessed has the skills to
perform competently in variety of different circumstances.
 To ensure no students are disadvantaged, where required assessors will make Reasonable
Adjustments to assessment tasks or processes to accommodate individual needs and record these
adjustments.
Principles of Assessment means assessment decisions are based on the principles of fairness, flexibility,
validity and reliability, which definitions of each of these as outlined below:

Fairness - The individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process. Where appropriate,
reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual learner’s needs. The
Australian Techno Management College informs the learner about the assessment process, and provides the
learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.

Flexibility - Assessment is flexible to the individual learner by reflecting the learner’s needs, assessing
competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and drawing from a range
of assessment methods and using those that are appropriate to the context, the unit of competency and
associated assessment requirements, and the individual.

Validity - Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the
individual learner. Validity requires assessment against the unit(s) of competency and the associated
assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent
performance. It also requires assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application
and the assessment tasks to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these
skills and knowledge in other similar situations. Additionally it requires judgement of competence is based on
evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment
requirements.

Reliability - Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are
comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.

Rules of Evidence meansthat the evidence on which an assessment decision is based is valid, sufficient,
authentic and current, with definitions for each as outlined below:

Email:australian.tmc@gmail.com | Web: www.atmccollege.com

Validity - The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the
module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Sufficiency - The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence
enable a judgment to be made of a learner’s competency.
Authenticity - The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.
Currency - The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This
requires the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.

Reasonable adjustment means a modification made to the learning environment, training or assessment
methods used to enable students with a disability to access and participate in training on the same basis as
those without a disability.The adjustment must be ‘reasonable’ in that it must not impose unjustifiable
hardship on the person or Australian Techno Management College.

Student plagiarism, cheating and collusion - Students are expected to complete all assessments ethically:
without plagiarism, collusion or cheating. Any students suspected of unethical behaviour will be managed
through the disciplinary procedures which may require the student to attend disciplinary meetings, submit
their assessment again, or for repeated acts may be asked to withdraw from the course.

Submission, feedback and re-assessment - Students must submit each task with a completed and signed
Assessment Task Cover Sheet within timelines specified by you assessor. Written and theoretical tasks will be
assessed within 2 weeks of submission. Each task will be marked as Satisfactory or Not Satisfactory. A unit or
module will be marked as Competent once all tasks for the unit or module have been marked as Satisfactory.

opportunity to resubmit/re-attempt the task. Students will receive detailed feedback for each task either in
written or verbal form from their assessor.

 Requires the student to demonstrate all of the skills and knowledge outlined in the components of the
relevant unit of competency or module.
 Requires the student to demonstrate the ability to perform tasks in a variety of situations, adapt to
different contexts and environments and perform tasks to an appropriate level expected by a
workplace.
 Considers’ the students’ dimensions of competency when making all assessment decisions.
Dimensions of Competency refer to the types of skills a person must have to perform effectively in a
broad capacity. The dimensions of competency ensure the person being assessed has the skills to
perform competently in variety of different circumstances.
 To ensure no students are disadvantaged, where required assessors will make Reasonable
Adjustments to assessment tasks or processes to accommodate individual needs and record these
adjustments.
Principles of Assessment means assessment decisions are based on the principles of fairness, flexibility,
validity and reliability, which definitions of each of these as outlined below:

Fairness - The individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process. Where appropriate,
reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual learner’s needs. The
Australian Techno Management College informs the learner about the assessment process, and provides the
learner with the opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.

Flexibility - Assessment is flexible to the individual learner by reflecting the learner’s needs, assessing
competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired and drawing from a range
of assessment methods and using those that are appropriate to the context, the unit of competency and
associated assessment requirements, and the individual.

Validity - Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the
individual learner. Validity requires assessment against the unit(s) of competency and the associated
assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent
performance. It also requires assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application
and the assessment tasks to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these
skills and knowledge in other similar situations. Additionally it requires judgement of competence is based on
evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment
requirements.

Reliability - Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are
comparable irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.

Rules of Evidence meansthat the evidence on which an assessment decision is based is valid, sufficient,
authentic and current, with definitions for each as outlined below:
Validity - The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the
module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Sufficiency - The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence
enable a judgment to be made of a learner’s competency.
Authenticity - The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.

Currency - The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This
requires the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.
Reasonable adjustment means a modification made to the learning environment, training or assessment
methods used to enable students with a disability to access and participate in training on the same basis as
those without a disability.The adjustment must be ‘reasonable’ in that it must not impose unjustifiable
hardship on the person or Australian Techno Management College.

Student plagiarism, cheating and collusion - Students are expected to complete all assessments ethically:
without plagiarism, collusion or cheating. Any students suspected of unethical behavior will be managed
through the disciplinary procedures which may require the student to attend disciplinary meetings, submit
their assessment again, or for repeated acts may be asked to withdraw from the course.

Submission, feedback and re-assessment - Students must submit each task with a completed and signed
Assessment Task Cover Sheet within timelines specified by you assessor. Written and theoretical tasks will be
assessed within 2 weeks of submission. Each task will be marked as Satisfactory or Not Satisfactory. A unit or
module will be marked as Competent once all tasks for the unit or module have been marked as Satisfactory.
Where a task is marked as Not Satisfactory, the student will be provided with feedback and be given the
opportunity to resubmit/re-attempt the task. Students will receive detailed feedback for each task either in
written or verbal form from their assessor.
You are required to undertake all questions and obtain satisfactory result for each question to obtain a
competent result for Assessment 3.If the students notify Australian Techno Management College that they
can-not undertake a written assessment for extenuating circumstances, these questions can be undertaken as

2. As operational manger of the Café, you found that the customers had some issues with the new front side
employees recruited. Employee mentioned that customers did not mention few items during the ordering. On
the other hand customers are not happy to accept it. Moreover they do not like to wait extra time again. Also
the employee’s performance data has been recorded and given in new recruit employee performance data.

Based on the information provided above and new recruit (front side) employee data, identify areas of the
employees’ underperformance and determine possible remedial actions to prepare managing performance of
underperforming employees.(P.C. 3.3, P.E.3)

Areas of underperformance of employees

Ineffective on boarding system: The employees needs an environment that invests quality induction
activities and pre training programs. If an organization is not providing then it is the cause of
underperformance of employees.

Less interest: The employees should be interested in the work that are they doing at the work place. If
they are not interested then this is a cause of underperformance.

Lack of inspiration: Employees needs inspiration to work harder and maintain their performance.
This is also a cause for underperformance of employees (Demo, et, al., 2012).

Lack of incentives: Employees should be provided incentives. To make their performance better
incentives should be provided.

Disengaged management: The efforts of management should be like that motivates employees. Then
this is a reason of underperformance.

Remedies to make performance better of underperforming employees

Deal with under performance as soon as possible: The underperforming employees should be provided
guidelines as soon as possible. This is to be done early stage so that cannot affect the working of that
organization (Kotola 2016).

Make them feel comfortable at workplace: employees should be provided good working environment
so that it can motivate them for better working.

Give appropriate training: the employees should be provided appropriate training so that they can work
with full knowledge and ability. This can enhance their performance.

should follow the guidelines and make their performance better. Appropriate activities should be
comnduct6ed to make their performance better.

4. Create anoperational planstatus report. (P.C. 3.2, 3.3, P.E. 3)

It is now 1 August 2017 and the Cafe operations are expected to be underway by 1August 2018.

Current progress of the implementation of operational plan tracked against the following key performance
indicators (KPIs):
One of the new recruits’ (front side) performance - Front staffs
1. Quality of sales and service is measured in: % of mistakes made by a customer service employee when
providing information or making an order. The target is 1%. Currently the rate of mistakes made is 10%.
2. Speed of online sales and service is measured in average time to resolve a customer enquiry. The target
is <10 minutes. Currently, the average time to complete an enquiry is 20 minutes.
Financial performance (Information Chief Financial Officer)
1. Revenue success is measured in the amount of revenue generated in dollars. The target is $300,000 in
sales per quarter, which would make an $80,000 profit per quarter. In the second quarter this financial
year, the Cafe generated $250,000 in revenue, providing a profit of $40,000.

2. Budget success is measured in % overrun/underspend. The target is 0% overrun. Currently there is a


budget overrun of 10%. Cost overruns are due to:
○ wastage from order mistakes and over-stocking due to misuse of system
○ overtime due to overly long customer interactions.
Time Status:
1. The timeline for the Café operational Plan is to have the activities implemented by 1 October 2017.
Currently the implementation is on track.
In addition to these key performance indicators, Café has identified a number of risks that all need immediate
action:
● The training program has not been adequate to cover required skills and knowledge. Training has been
too short and insufficient to be effective.
● Staff are unable to perform roles due to lack of support in job roles and ongoing training, coaching.
● Sales continue to perform under target.
In your status report include the followings:
 a description of budgetary and financial performance(P.C. 3.2, K.E.3)
 a description of productivity performance (P.C. 3.3)
 an analysis of milestone achievement and performance against targets (P.C 3.2, 3.3)
 recommendations for operational improvement.(P.C.3.3, P.E.2 , 3)
Based on the recent scenario of the Café /simulated business mentioned above, you are required to develop a
status report of operational plan. Use the following status as green, amber and red.
 Green- Implementation is on track or require only minor adjustment
 Amber-Highly likely that implementation difficulties will occur and immediate action is required to
rectify issues and mitigate any risk

change of plans,implementation plan, budgets etc. Seek approval for implantation of recommendations. (P.C. 3.5, P.E. 2,
3)

5. Role play with CEO

The CEO is the highest authority in the company ranking that is responsible for all major and
corporate decisions. The CEO is the main core point and main mode of communication between
boards of director (Bandiera, et, al., 2017).

Performance indicator for role play:

Present student’s report

The time line of café’s operational plan is in implementation by 1 October 2017. At the present the
implementation is continuously and on track. The high risk is identified in the café. This needed an
immediate action. The training that is provided is inefficient in the context of goals and objectives. The
training session is held for too short time that is not adequate for employees to make their performance
better. The staff is suffering from the problem of lack of support by the higher authority. The
employees are not provided sufficient training and coaching.

Report on budget

In the context of budget these are the approved activities that are undertaken by the café. The budget
is suffering from the problem of overrun. At the current stage there is an overrun of 10%. The target is
300,000$ in sales per quarter. This makes a profit of 80,000$ per quarter. In the second quarter café
generated 250,000$ providing profit 40000$. The reasons for overrun are as follows:

 There is wastage by making order mistakes.

 There is an over-stocking because of misuse of system.

CaféParadiso–MountainGlen,NSW
2017-2018BusinessPlan
1.1 Business Opportunity
Brendan and Margaret Elliott have entered into negotiations to purchase a café business, called Café
Paradiso, because of its great location in the Mountain Glen, NSW Shopping Centre with the highest
number of passing shoppers which is supported by a large and growing local population. There are a
limited number of cafés within the centre and with both Brendan’s and Margaret’s experience with
having successfully operated and owned a number of cafes in Australia and overseas they will be able
to increase their market share from 35% to 40% in 12 months.

The competitive advantages of the business are:


 location
 quality of food and service
 knowledge and experience of the industry
 available financial resources

1.2 Product/Service Offering


The main activity of the company is the operation of the Café Paradiso. Business activities include
purchasing, storing, preparing, selling and serving our products to our valued customers. We expect
to serve over 6,000 customers (‘dine in’ and ‘take away’) per month.

The Café is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Saturday and from 8:00am until midday on
Sunday. The café comfortably seats 36 persons.

The mission of the business is to satisfy customers’ needs and wants for high quality coffee, delicious
nutritious meals and excellent service. Our main point of differentiation from other cafes and coffee
shops in the Centre is that one of the business owners is an internationally trained chef who will be
able to produce fresh, light and healthy meals each day as well as develop new menu items to meet
the changing needs and tastes of people who care about what they eat. The high quality coffee will
target staff and shoppers in the Shopping Centre who enjoy good coffee that simply offers good value
for money at highly competitive prices

1.3 Marketing Plan


The objectives of the company are to:
 maintain market share through the change of ownership then grow market share to 40%,
and
 generate a before tax net margin of 20%.

The business will achieve these objectives by:


 retaining two key staff members of Café Paradiso to maintain continuity of customer
relationships during the changeover
 upgrading signage to be more visually appealing
 maintaining the existing price levels and controlling costs
 undertaking more aggressive marketing and promotion.

1.4 Management Team


Brendan and Margaret Elliott, owners of Seaview Pty Ltd are both experienced Café owners/managers
having successfully operated a number of cafes in Australia and overseas. Brendan is a qualified chef
and has previously worked for the Hilton and the Sofitel groups before owning his own café. Margaret
has a degree in Business Management (Hospitality) and she too has worked for the Hilton group of
companies and for the Rydges group.

Brendan and Margaret will work full-time in the business, retain two key staff from the previous
owner to maintain the continuity of relationships with customers during the transition, and will
employ an additional four staff. Two of those staff will work on a part-time basis. As Brandan is
experienced in cooking , he will become the Café Chef. Based on Margerets’ experience she will take
the responsibility of CEO.

2.0 Business Opportunity

2.1 Business Opportunity


Purchase of an established cafe within the Mountain Glen NSW Shopping Centre that is
part of a large, well developed master planned community which is still growing,
incorporating a regional shopping centre, residential, retail and commercial development.

The business is ideally located for a Café, being situated on the main mall with a high
passing trade due to its close proximity to two national supermarket chains and a number
of well known retail fashion clothing chains. There are a limited number of cafes within
the centre and Café Paradiso has the best location, with the highest number of passing
shoppers.

Café Parisdo’s primary customers are shoppers and staff within the Shopping Centre who
take a break from their shopping or work and enjoy fine coffee or other beverages as well
as for people wanting a light, quick and healthy meal that provide a good alternative to
the fast food options. The success of the business is based on its excellent location, quality
of management and staff, great ‘value for money’ coffee and meals and superior service.

2.2 Vision and Mission


Vision - The company’s vision is ‘to be the Café of preference for Mountain Glen NSW
Shopping Centre customers’.

strong viable and growing business.

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 59 of 82Version 4: February 2018


Seaview Pty Ltd was recently established for the purpose of acquiring the existing café
business known as Café Paradiso, located at the Mountain Glen NSW Shopping Centre.

location from which to operate. Seaview Pty Ltd will be acquiring the business name
Café Paradiso.

Brendan and Margaret Elliott, owners of Seaview Pty Ltd are both experienced Café
owners/managers having successfully operated a number of cafes in Australia and
overseas. Brendan is a qualified chef and has previously worked for the Hilton and the
Sofitel groups before owning his own café. Margaret has a degree in Business

3.0 Market Analysis

3.2 Industry Analysis


The café market is a competitive market with franchised operators starting to emerge in the coffee
shop segment (also offering light meals), which will over time increase concentration in this
segment. While the level of competition is increasing, the shopping centre in which Café Paradiso
will be located has capped the number of cafés and coffee shops within the complex (by covenant
in the Lease Agreement). To this extent, there will be limited competition and it is anticipated that
all cafés and coffee shops within the complex will be quite profitable.
Key points about the café and restaurant industry:
 Greater concentration in higher than average household income areas
 Sensitive to changes in real household disposable incomes
 Trend towards singles, families and business people meeting and eating out
 Growth with households increasing purchasing frequency and the amount spent in each
transaction in this area
The current general trend is for cafes and restaurants to concentrate on offering value for money
with an emphasis on family restaurants, as well as franchised opportunities. The industry will
continue to benefit from higher incomes and time constraints on some households as well as
lifestyle changes. This will include more dining out or take away food consumption.

There are three key success factors in the café industry that are essential for the business to do
well in order to be competitive. These factors are based on the positioning of the business as well
as its’ place and physical appearance:
 Location of café in terms of:
o Proximity to surrounding attractions
o Short distance to consumers
o Convenience and accessibility

 Physical appearance in terms of:


o Cleanliness of premises
o Quality of food
o Quality of service

 Clear market position

3.3 Competitor Analysis


Our two main competitors are Club Café and Coffee Extravaganza as they both have strong brand
recognition, with high product quality and well-documented processes for how the business should be
run which comes from being a national franchise business. However, they have the operating boundaries
of the franchisor that doesn’t give them the flexibility to change menu items so easily. This flexibility is
something Café Paradiso can take advantage of with having a chef who can develop new menu items to
meet the changing preferences of customers. Zhavargo’s Café is able to be more flexible to market
needs attracting the price conscious clientele with an average quality product but this is not the market
space Café Paradiso is competing in.

Our competitors have no history of discounting and whilst the number of cafés within the centre is
capped, pricing should remain very stable. The following tables outline an analysis of the café’s

Café Paradiso will need to maintain current marketing activities and a high level of service and product
quality to ensure its competitiveness. It needs to have a clear market position to target and promote the
quality and value for money of products and services.

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 62 of 82Version 4: February 2018


4.0 Elements of Success

4.1 Target Market

There is substantial population growth in the area as residential development continues and
commercial development commences. The master planned community attracts a high socio-economic
demographic with high employment and higher than average per capita income.

Café Paradiso customers are the passing shoppers and shopping centre staff of all ages who enjoy a fine
coffee (dine-in, or take away) and a healthy, value-for-money meal. The majority of the general public
consulted in the shopping centre were families and young singles. The cafe will make it particularly
easy for a young family to enjoy a meal by providing a range of children’s meals and activities. Our take
away beverages will also appeal to this group and the segments made up largely of singles between the
ages of 18 – 40 who shop or work within the shopping centre precinct. They tend to have moderate
incomes with high discretionary spending.

The majority of customers who purchase coffee from Café Paradiso are ‘social drinkers’, followed by
customers who want their daily fix or a pick me up. They are wanting a convenient, friendly and
relaxing environment to ‘recharge their batteries’ or socialise over a fine coffee, choice of beverages
and quality fresh, light and healthy meals that provide an alternative to fast food options. The market
need being satisfied is based on convenience, quality and value for the coffee drinkers as well the
health conscious consumer who is concerned about what they eat.

4.2 Competitive Advantage and Unique Selling Proposition


Our first and main competitive advantage that we possess is our location. Café Paradiso is in the best
possible location for a café and has 3 years of the initial 5 year lease to run, plus the option of another 5
years.

Our second competitive advantage is the quality and value of the wide variety of light and healthy
meals offered by the business that cannot be matched by other businesses in the centre. In addition,
one of the owners is an International Chef who can create new menu items overnight which gives the
business the flexibility to sell products to meet the changing preferences of customers.

Our third competitive advantage is the industry experience and expertise of both owners running
successful café and restaurant businesses in the past.

These competitive advantages form the basis of our unique selling proposition with the slogan of
“Paradiso’s – convenient, light and healthy” and will also include widely promoting the culinary skills of
our International Chef.

5.0 Marketing Plan

5.1 Marketing Objectives

There are three key marketing objectives:

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 63 of 82Version 4: February 2018


 To achieve sales of $536,650 for the first year and $580,000 for the second year.
 To achieve estimated 40% market share next 12 months.
 To position the business as a convenient place to eat light and healthy meals

To be reviewed in 6 months.

5.2 Marketing Mix


PRODUCT
Healthy and light meals are the key point of differentiation for the business because the Café has the
capabilities and flexibility to develop new menu lines to meet the changing needs and tastes of
customers, whereas the two franchise businesses in the centre must conform to the requirements of
the franchisor. While the other products, in particularly fine coffee, are not unique they do offer
excellent ‘value for money’ that fill the price points between the high and low ends of the other coffee
and café businesses in the centre.

The café will provide the relaxed and friendly environment that our customers seek when searching for
a ‘dine in’ meals, beverages and cakes and desserts that offers excellent value for money, but do
recognise that this is not unique as shown in table 4 below:

Beverages Refresh and relax 4 No
Fresh & light meals Health & well being 8 Yes

Rating: 1 = Low, 10 = High

PRICE
We propose to offer high quality food and service at a price comparative to our major competitors – we
will meet the market on price to retain market share if we need to. Our clientele have a medium to high
disposable income and seek high quality products and good service, pricing will reflect the value of our
products and services.

The shopping centre has a ‘captive market’ and given the limited number of cafés in the centre, prices
have not been discounted in the market. There is no intention to discount to buy market share as Café
Paradiso currently holds the largest market share of approximately 35% and we intend to take it to
40%, whilst maintaining existing margins.

PLACE (i.e. DISTRIBUTION)


Customers access and purchase our products and services through our shop front. The location of the
café is at the southern end of the Mountain Glen NSW Shopping Centre. Mountain Glen NSW is a very
large regional shopping centre drawing customers from up to 15 kilometres away and is surrounded by
a ‘market’ of approximately 250,000 persons.

It is situated on the main mall, near the major (national) supermarkets and retail fashion clothing

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 64 of 82Version 4: February 2018


chains. It has a high passing trade due to its close proximity to two national supermarket chains and a
number of well known retail fashion clothing chains. The café is 60 m² and there is three years to run
on the current 5 year lease. An option to take another 5 years is available under the lease.

When the proposed commercial development goes ahead, the businesses located there are potential
customers for a catering business. The business plan will be revisited at this time.

PROMOTION
In conjunction with Mountain Glen NSW Centre Management we will be undertaking a range of
promotions when we take over the cafe promoting the new ownership of the café. These promotions
will include offers of discounted meals and coffee, but they will only run for two weeks. We estimate
that this will be sufficient time to allow a smooth transition to ourselves as new owners.

Our regular advertising will consist of shopfront A-frame advertising boards, weekly newspaper
advertising and a three monthly flyer drop in local mail boxes. As most of our business will be passing
trade, shop front signage will be bright and appealing. We will develop and offer a loyalty card scheme
to increase repeat business.

Word of mouth advertising is very important and the best advertising we will be providing is the quality
of our products and service.

PEOPLE
Both Brendan and Margaret Elliott have been successful owners and managers of cafés. Brendan is a
French trained chef and his skills will be used new product lines to meet the changing needs and
preferences of consumers which will be a point of differentiation for the business Margaret with her
business and hospitality background will be responsible for the day to day operations of the Café.

Two key staff member who worked with the previous owner will be retained to help with the continuity
of existing relationships with customers.

PROCESS
Major processes are flow-charted in the café’s procedure manual that are geared to providing quality
and responsive services to clients as well as efficient and effective operations of the cafe. This includes
sufficient numbers of staff are working during the peak periods to make sure customers are served in a
timely manner. Further information about the processes in place are detailed in section 8 of this
business plan.

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
The café is fully fitted out with table, chairs and décor that projects the desire image of quality and
value as well as aligns with the USP of ‘Light and Healthy – Café Paradiso’. This also applies to uniforms
for the staff. The cleanliness of the premise, tables and chairs will be maintained to a consistently high
standard at all times.

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 65 of 82Version 4: February 2018


5.3 Action Plan
In conjunction with Mountain Glen NSW Centre Management we will be undertaking a range of
promotions when we take over the cafe promoting the new ownership of the café. These promotions
will include offers of discounted meals and coffee, but they will only run for two weeks. We estimate
that this will be sufficient time to allow a smooth transition to ourselves as new owners.

to increase repeat business.

Word of mouth advertising is very important and the best advertising we will be providing is the quality
of our products and service. In this area will be training the staff in customer service skills

When the proposed commercial development goes ahead, the businesses located there are potential
customers for a catering business. The marketing plan will be revisited at this time.

7.8 Workplace Health and Safety

The workplace health and safety plan is based on the advice and guidance provided by
Workplace Health and Safety fact sheets for the restaurant and café industry.

8.0 Operations

8.1 Business Premises and Location


At present the only facility we will be using is the café. It is ideally located within the shopping
centre to attract passing customers and is also relatively close to our main suppliers i.e. grocer
and bakery. The café is fully fitted out and is fit for purpose.

There is no need for a separate operating location at this point in time. There is an opportunity
to roast coffee beans and manufacture the café’s own blends at a later date. If this occurs, it
may be necessary to acquire operating premises to implement the idea.

8.2 Plant and Equipment Requirements


Set out below is a listing of the minimum plant and equipment items that are required to
successfully operate the Café. A schedule of the plant and equipment (and their values)
contained in the purchase price will be included in the contract documentation and will be
subject to due diligence. The purchase price of the plant and equipment items listed below is

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 70 of 82Version 4: February 2018


stated in the contract at $50,000.
The items to be acquired in the purchase price are two years old and will be subject to a
Mortgage Debenture Charge as part collateral for the bank loan.
We will undertake routine maintenance and plan the replacement of plant and equipment
items on the basis of annual condition assessments.

8.3 Purchasing and Supply


Brendan has contacted all existing suppliers and has negotiated supply arrangements on very
attractive terms. At this point there are no written contracts although three suppliers have
indicated that they are currently preparing contracts for execution. Where suppliers do not
provide formal contracts we will be requesting an exchange of letters to confirm the basic
arrangements.

In most instances local alternative suppliers exist. Where local alternative suppliers do not
exist, we have identified alternative suppliers from nearby regions who have the capacity to
meet the café’s needs in a timely manner at a reasonable cost.

The Café require determining best value of money while choosing supplier. It requires to
establish rating for each suppliers’ company performance with price to final choose and gain
approval by CEO. It needs to consider operational requirements and priorities.

 The list of products the Café needs are followings:

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 71 of 82Version 4: February 2018


 Wines, beer, soft drinks,
 Coffee beans,
 Café Equipments, Coffee machine services ,
 Fresh bread, rolls, and flour ,
 Fresh meat, manufactured meat, and delicatessen items,
 Fresh fruit and vegetables

8.4 Operating and Production Processes


Our major processes are sales, food and beverage preparation, table service and stock control
(ordering, storing, controlling). Major processes are flow-charted in the café’s Procedures
Manual. A copy of this is appended to the business plan. The processing of Point of Sale (POS)
transactions is electronic, with transactions being automatically posted into the accounting
system (which incorporates a stock control system). The table below represents the current
and the planned level of operation and the standard of these operations.

8.5 Stock or Inventory


All stock at this stage will be stored ‘on site’ at the café. Fresh produce such as vegetables are
purchased in vacuum sealed bags or cartons and meat in vacuum sealed packs. These will be
stored in a small commercial refrigerator. Other items such as coffee beans, canned and
packaged products will be kept in the storage cupboards.
Other perishables including cakes and cheese cakes will be kept in refrigerated display
cabinets and will be stored for a maximum of three days.
On average, we expect to turn stock over once per week.
Stock will be controlled using our stock control system, which is a module of the accounting
software package.

8.6 Information Communication Technology Systems


ICT systems include the computerised EFTPOS system, linked to the accounting system. The
EFTPOS system will process Direct Debit, Credit Card, and Cash transactions directly to the
bank and the accounting system. The accounting system will process the payroll, stock
control, general ledger transactions and maintain the Human Resource records.
These systems effectively reduce manual accounting and processing to a minimum. They
provide real time reports, thus enhancing productivity and management decision making.

Current status of operational performance:


It is now 1 August 2017 and the Cafe operations are expected to be underway by 1
August 2018.

Current progress of the implementation of operational plan tracked against the


following key performance indicators (KPIs):

BSBMGT517 Assessment Tool Page 73 of 82Version 4: February 2018


One of the new recruits’ performance - Front staffs
1.Quality of sales and service is measured in: % of mistakes made by a customer
service employee when providing information or making an order. The target is
1%. Currently the rate of mistakes made is 10%.
2.Speed of online sales and service is measured in average time to resolve a
customer enquiry. The target is <10 minutes. Currently, the average time to
complete an enquiry is 20 minutes.
Financial performance (Information Chief Financial Officer)
1.Revenue success is measured in the amount of revenue generated in dollars. The
target is $300,000 in sales per quarter, which would make an $80,000 profit
per quarter. In the second quarter this financial year, the Cafe generated
$250,000 in revenue, providing a profit of $40,000 for the

2.Budget success is measured in % overrun/underspend. The target is 0% overrun.


Currently there is a budget overrun of 10%. Cost overruns are due to:
○ wastage from order mistakes and over-stocking due to misuse of system
○ overtime due to overly long customer interactions.
Time Status:
2. The timeline for the Café operational Plan is to have the activities implemented
by 1 October 2017. Currently the implementation is on track.
In addition to these key performance indicators, Café has identified a number of risks
that all need immediate action:
● The training program has not been adequate to cover required skills and
knowledge. Training has been too short and insufficient to be effective.
● Staff are unable to perform roles due to lack of support in job roles and ongoing
training, coaching.
● Sales continue to perform under target.
