Appendix 1: Simulated Business Scenario
Background to scenario
CoffeeVille is a family-owned and run café located in Melbourne. CoffeeVille aims to serve quality food and fair trade coffee at a city pace. The café is currently open 7 am–5 pm, Monday to Friday.
CoffeeVille has been experiencing consistent growth in sales and numbers of customers over the last two years. This growth has led to a need for a second floor manager who is able to manage customer complaints, take responsibility for higher level café operations and manage staff performance.
The current manager, Joe Belfone, works four days a week. Joe is a good manager, but when he’s not there on Fridays, the café does not run as smoothly. The owners of the café have also decided to start opening on Saturdays, and would like to have at least one manager working from Monday to Saturday.
Owners Emma and Rufus Belcastran have provided you with the task of recruiting a full-time or part-time café manager (working Tuesday–Saturday or Wednesday–Saturday). Recruitment, selection, and induction processes must be undertaken in accordance with relevant external standards, such as legislation and codes of practice, and internal standards, such as organisational policies and procedures.
You will need to review organisational documentation and undertake preliminary research into hiring a café manager.
You will need to recommend the tasks and timelines required for recruitment and selection, provide a job description and advertisement for the role and, finally, provide an interview guide template to the owners for approval.
The new staff member needs to be appointed within six months.
