Resolving the “Lunch Crunch” Harriet’s Place Strategy Session
How Did This Happen? • Our location makes un an ideal lunch venue for students and hospital staff • Our organic and vegetarian specialties have become popular alternatives to fast food • Our reputation for good, inexpensive meals has spread throughout the community
Today’s Situation • Harriet’s Place is currently experiencing a “lunch crunch” • Customers are waiting too long for tables • The wait staff is overburdened • How can we improve lunch operations?
Available Options • Increase space in the dining room by building out into patio area • Hire additional wait staff for lunch service • Market and improve carryout service for customers who just want the food fast • Enlarging the dining room could make it possible for us to open Harriet’s Place for dinner as well as breakfast and lunch
Recommendation • Recommend one or more of the strategies • Summarize the results if things go as proposed • What to do next • Identify action items • The “crunch” is particularly pressing from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
