The proposal by (NAME)
My consideration set
Grand Harbour Chinese Restaurant (https://www.grandharbour.co.nz/), which is located in the CBD of Auckland, offers Chinese based dishes. The restaurant is currently closed as a result of the covid-19 pandemic and normally have a total of 17 employees. It’s widely known for its delicious traditional Chinese recipes. My girlfriend loves this restaurant so much we frequently have meals here.
Eden Doodles Café (https://edennoodles.business.site/) well known for its reasonable pricing of meals. My elder brother operates a delivery service to this restaurant. Through him, I found that the restaurant has nine employees. While it has limited space, the business has queues sometimes. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it remains closed.
Cafe Royale (http://www.caferoyale.co.nz/ ) is located just two or three miles from my living house block and currently operates only take away services due to the Covid-19 pandemiC. One of my coursemates works here, and I frequently find myself here either due to influence or as a result of the delicious lunch meal plans. The café specializes in both outside and internal catering services as well as event hosting. My friend confirmed to me that it has 15-20 employees.
Evaluation Criteria
My consideration set has three business, unfortunately, I have had a personal relationship with the three of them. In order to choose one of them, I will follow the following criteria to decide which business to select for my project
Location. My intention is to select a business that I can easily access without so much travel costs.
This will increase the research and business study time compared to business far away from my vicinity.
Relationship with business or staff: The second evaluation criteria that I will consider is how well I am conversant with the business staff, employee, or any stakeholder. This will be too advantageous in data collection, especially interviews.
Business processes: I intent to select a business that I am aware of its business processes as well as daily procedures for purposes of improving the efficiency of my research.
Selection Rationale
As per my selection criteria detailed above, Cafe Royale stands out to be my most preferred business for my research project base on three primary reasons. Which are;
- Accessibility: After considering the accessibility of all three Businesses, Café Royale is just three miles from my living block. This means that I can even decide to have face to face interview with one of its employees or staff with ease.
- Secondly, I have known this business for a long time; actually, it was my first restaurant to have a meal in Auckland.
- Thirdly I have a personal relationship with the business as being one of its loyal customers in addition to the fact that my best friend works here.
Therefore, from my consideration set. Royal café is my selected business for my research.
Potential Problems and Solutions
In ensuring effective data, I require to meet different personnel for first-hand information. Currently, it is a challenge to book for different appointments or book for schedules for discussion due to the current global health crisis. The Health pandemic has made it difficult to hold a physical meeting due to increased set measures to curb the disease. Increased Lockdowns and curfews have made it difficult to acquire adequate data required. In solving this, I need to adopt current technology for communication. For instance, I need to use skype or Gmail to communicate with relevant personnel.
In the modern era, human beings are characterized by different opinions and misunderstandings. It might be a challenge to collect unbiased data since the majority of individuals have increased personal interest. Besides, increase bias in data collected could be a result of mistrust and misunderstanding from some participants, especially when answering the questions. In most cases, participants may demand something for him or her to participate in research. In curbing this, I will assure the secrecy and confidentiality of the participants throughout the research.
