Establishment/Organisation: ______________________________________________
Date: ____________________________________________________

analyse and review and outline the reasons which indicated to you that a review would be necessary (for
example complaints from customers about prolonged waiting periods for check-in; prolonged waiting periods
for food in the restaurant; frequent errors in reconciliations at the end of the shift in front office or similar.
Indochine is a Vietnamese restaurant, sitting right beside Box Hill Central that is why there are lots of
people come there to dine in, most of them are families with small children. Opened since 1983, so they
got a lot of loyal customers, but they always need to improve if there are anything that the customers
didn’t enjoy it so they have some positive as well as negative sides to improve:
Setting table:
- Tables are not usually cleaned properly by employees after customer finishing their mealfor the
nextservice.
- Tables are not set up correctly
-Chairs still have dusts, food from the tables when the staffs forgot to check on them when the next
customer coming
-Employees take a long time to clean tables
Communicate with customer:
-Employees don’t meet special requirement of customers.
-Customers complaint about employee attitude
-Take the wrong order for the customers
-Employees have misunderstanding with customers
3. Observe the task or operational procedure and provide an overview of your findings.
+ Setting table
-Before service:
Clean and sanitize tables.
Wash hands before handling place settings, food, or beverages.
-During service:
Handle all dishes, glasses, cups, and flatware by non-food contact surfaces only.
Immediately wipe up spills as they occur. Use designated cloths and appropriate sanitizing
solution.
-After service:
Remove unused flatware after service, clean and sanitize.
If tables are covered with linen, remove after service and replace with clean tablecloths. Soiled
cloth linen, tablecloths, and napkins should be taken to the laundry and kept separate from other
linen used in the establishment, such as custodial towels. Treat stains promptly.
If no tablecloth is used, remove all materials (salt and pepper shakers, sweetener, etc.) clean
and sanitize tables. Replace materials and reset tables.

+Communicating with customers:
-Employees have responsibilities to ask customer’s dietary requirements before making orders
-Telling them ingredients in food for customer be carefully their dietary.
-Always smile, friendly when serve with customers
-Asking customer about their satisfaction after finishing their meal.
4. Following the observation identify any shortfalls or underperformance during the observation of tasks or
processes and document these in detail. What were the issues and what were the potential reasons for
these?
These were the issues and the potential reasons:
+Setting table:
-With new employees, they usually confuse put salt and pepper’s side (salt must be on the left hand
and pepper be on the right)
-Sometimes the shop is too busy, and they have a short staff member. Therefore, staff may not
clean table properly and still let some food that drop out or dust on the table and chair.
-Not enough the linens, table clothes to change for the next customers because they have lack of
order stock.
+Communicating with customers:
-With a lot of kind of dietary requirements, so staffs are hard to identify between them. Staffs have to
take order and take note individual customer’s dietary requirement carefully to make sure that can’t
miss it. Employees have to communicate clearly with customers to identify what kind of dietary they
have and should remember ingredients of food to recommend for customers.
-In the customer service environment, employees may contact to diversity customers who may not
good at English. Therefore, some customers have the accent that be hard to hear. Staffs should
always listen to customer, communicate clearly and slowly. If staffs are difficult to help customers,
they can ask manager to help them or using google translate or telling customer write down on
paper what they want to help.
5. Develop a strategy that can be implemented to overcome the shortfalls you have identified and explain how
each step of the strategy will be implemented to ensure it will be successful. Include the documentation
required for this.
Should have supervisor in each service area

product or service and give them suggestions for using what you sell for maximizing its
benefit.
Should have debrief after finishing the shift to discuss and solve problems in the day
between manager, supervisor, headwaiter and staffs.
6. Provide an overview of the potential cost factors for your suggested procedures including physical and
human resource aspects as relevant.
+Setting table:
-Need to buy more linen, table clothes to make sure that it will not lack of stuff to serve customer.
-Organising the training/coaching session periodically.
-Hiring more staff to divide task to make sure that still provide good service even on peak time.
+Communication strategy
-Should give feedback sheet or send feedback through emails to customers when they finish their
service
-Should organise promotion for customers on special days like free gift on customer’s birthday,
Christmas .With the cost about $20or discount for new services when customers try them on the first-
time period.
-Giving discount or promotion when customer didn’t enjoy the services after.
7. In brief provide a critical reflection on your project: Given what you have observed, analysed in terms of
resources required and the potential outcomes from the strategy you have developed, how viable is your
strategy in terms of outlay required by the organisation? Would there be a more cost-effective option?
We also should boost strong in the building relationship with customers. Because it helps business to
attract more new customers and keep more loyal customers that make increasing turn over and bring
many benefits to business. Therefore, the business need to hire more staff and take time to training for
