People are broadly divided into two
heads:
Employees and customers
 There are 15 employee working in which 12 are
looking in sales and maintenance and other 3 are
working as cashier.
 The employee were working in shifts.
 The working environment was healthy.
 The company cares about the employees
 The vm was also looked by the employees
 The employee were not so qualified.
 The cashier was qualified.
 The dress of the employee was not standardized.
 The employees were also not well informed about the
products of the store.
 The customers were mainly from middle
class.

 They are basically price sensitive.

 They want good products at affordable prices.

 The methods and process of providing a service

 RRL is gearing up to revolutionize the retailing

industry in India.

 Provides a world class shopping environment

 Provides returns to Indian farmers and manufacturers.

 Reliance is aiming to touch almost every Indian

customer and supplier
 How do people consume services?
 What processes do they have to go through to acquire the
services?
 Where do they find the availability of the services?
1. Contacts
2. Reminders
3. Registration
4. Subscription
5. Form fillings
6. Degree of technology
 Home Delivery: Customer appreciate that Reliance people are
always ready to deliver the 0rder at home within the vicinity of 2
KMs and the minimum amount is Rs. 500/-.

• Trolleys, and baskets & Staff: They provide trolleys, baskets to

their customer and Staff are always eager to serve the customer
from the moment they enter in the store.

• Reliance Card: On top of everything Reliance staff members keep

asking every customer at the time of billing if they have taken
RELIANCE CARD or not. Which helps to increase loyal customer.
 Billing: The billing process is painful, as it takes as
much time as one spend on total purchasing. They
have to look into it if this billing process can be
fastened up. Most of the times, all billing counters (3
or 4) do not have an attendant most of the time this is
a negative point of Reliance Fresh .

 Parking: This is an issue on some of the stores due

to lack of space but no charges, and is purely on the
risk of the vehicle owner.
