The report has to contain information regarding the quality of customer service provided in a bakery. The customers are not happy with the customer service provided as:
• the company does not have sufficient staff,(usually the commis chef is the one that assists customers over the phone and on the counter when the manager is not available)
• staff is not trained and not enough to cover all the work in the bakery
• the manager should assist customers but he is always busy with suppliers, organising the work and cannot assist customers(he does not have a counter assistant to help him)
• the manager is a real issue because he does not focus on customer satisfaction his main focus is on sales
• even though customers like company products they will not purchase and will retain in recommending them due to manager behave-he does not resolve complaint and issues occurred due to time constraint- he will not make sales to product or promotions
The report should mention that a survey was conducted to understand customer view and should contain the results. It should not contain the questions of the survey just results (customers not happy 50%…70%…)
