There is only one person doing the record keeping, this leaves a lot of room for error. If this person makes a mistake then it would go unnoticed and they would lose money. An audit should be done more often. For 15 years the church trusted one person to count the money and that’s all the insurance they had. The head usher should put the money in the bank once he finishes counting it. This would be a smarter move because of the lack of insurance. Also the head usher should not be the only one to count it. There should be another person with him when he counts the money. Once the money is counted there should be more information like who counted and what time it was counted.…

In addition, when companies want to grow, they have to make sure that they know how to treat their staff members. This key is fundamental for a good and healthy environment at work. The only way to do this is by knowing what the interest of his employees are. When companies put a lot of pressure in the workers, they fell overwhelm. Because of this pressure on top of them, they lose the motivation of working hard. Comfortable employees work better in theirs jobs. For example, Chick-fill-A, this fast food restaurant has more people than other because they work as a team. Working as a team make them have motivation. This fast food restaurant is a team because his managers and his employees have a good communication. This is true because as soon…
Another reason why they are so successful is because the top management have been around for over 25 years. This means that they are extremely familiar with to the company and how everything works and they can easily train the new employees. Once trained then they become part of the family. “Both corporate and field managers often referred to the firm as a family, complete with rules, traditions, and tough love.” I believe this is a one of the main reasons why they are so successful. If your employees are happy to wake up and come to work in the morning knowing everyone is basically a family member makes them work a lot harder because you do not want to let down a family member. The workers made the guest feel so comfortable and at home that the guest wanted to buy the linens to remind them of the stay.…
One of the major challenges a manager faces in motivating her employees today as opposed to 50 years ago is retaining a positive working environment. Today, the success of any business is for a manager to provide a positive working environment. This require manager having the abilities, tools, and knowledge to help her understand her employees’ retention needs and be able to implement a retention plan intended to increase employee engagement in the organization. In Noe, Holllenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright (2011), an article written by Texas Roadhouse Resturant states, "We wanted to provide a place that the whole family could enjoy." This statement suggests that Texas Roadhouse is a place where the whole family can enjoy great nourishment, in a fun-filled, enthusiastic atmosphere at a reasonable price. In this example, the practice on the culture of Texas Roadhouse involved putting their employees first and this is a key component in their formula for success. Employees who love their working environment tend to give customers better services. On the other hand, if a manager refuse to look after her employees, employees might depict negative work related performances; tardiness or unpunctuality, bad customer service, and even high turnover.…
The guests in the restaurant play a huge part in how the restaurant functions. Guests are exactly that they are guests. You treat you guest with respect and make sure they are happy, and in return they treat you with respect and thank you for all you do to make them happy. When I am working if I’m having a good day it helps sometimes, but no matter what the customers can change my mood. My guests are mainly travelers such as truck drivers; other than travelers we have the locals. More than half of the guests will treat a waitress like they are trash or something lower than them, which is mostly…
In order to know specifically how a business' corporate culture can be amended for the better, it would be necessary to know which business is being discussed or at the very least, the disposition of it’s corporate culture. While a grocery chain may need to focus on training employees to assist the elderly or the otherwise incapable individuals with carrying and loading groceries into cars, the corporate culture of an electronic store may benefit from having better-educated employees about the products in order that said employees may help customers make better-informed purchases. As far as developing a sense of corporate culture directed at the employees, a company may issue monthly kudos to employees who…
KFC is part of Yum! Restaurants International, a global company which also includes Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silvers and All American Foods in its portfolio. In Southern Africa, KFC is the largest player in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Industry and as a brand it is has the largest TV spend in South Africa (followed by MTN, Cell C and then Vodacom). As a marketing team we are involved in making over 30 television commercials in a year so it is a very busy and fast paced environment compared to Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies such as Unilever and SAB, where each brand team makes fewer commercials which run for longer periods of time. Yum! has a relatively small head office based in Bryanston, there are just over 60 people in the head office. The reason for this is that we are fully franchised in South Africa and each of our franchisees runs their own business most of the franchisees have between 10 and 50 KFC stores and they have support staff as required. We have a young and dynamic team at the Yum! head offices the average age is 33, and you really know all your colleagues very well and work closely with them. The culture at Yum! is focused on teamwork, positive energy, executional excellence, accountability, recognizing the achievements of others, belief in people and customer mania (there is a strong focus on customers).…
Though many of these businesses do succeed, employees who are treated like replaceable commodities act like replaceable widgets.A pat on the back, service support, and kind words go a long way with staff, but what goes even further is kindness and generosity. Get creative. One restaurant I worked for gave gift certificates and frequent flier miles to staff members who racked up a significant number of unsolicited compliments from guests. Set up a gift card exchange with neighboring businesses. Not only will you improve your employee’s morale, but you will also begin a great conversation about rewarding your staff’s performance with other neighboring businesses and improve your restaurant’s influence on your…
