Case Study Root Cause Analysis

918 Words4 Pages

I decided to write about a conflict I had at work recently and will use root cause analysis.

I bartend and wait tables at a Chili's restaurant and have found that damage control is just a way of life at work. The incident I will be talking about involves me inheriting a table from a coworker who was at the end of their shift. These women had been drinking alcohol for some time and I was told they hadn't ordered any food. When I approached them to introduce myself, I could tell they were already pretty intoxicated. You could make the case that the previous server over-served them since in the course of two hours, they each had three 22 ounce beers and two shots with no food to counteract any of it. They proceed to try to order another beer …show more content…

Other guests are not happy, new guests refuse to sit in the area because of the foul language, decreased income from no new guests. Possible danger to themselves and others on the road if they leave intoxicated.

Step Three: Identify Possible Causal Factors

What sequence of events leads to the problem?

My co worker over serving the guests and not making sure they ordered food as well. Me evaluating them and deeming it unsafe to continue serving them. Alerting management. Management talking to the table. Manager and I being accused of racism.

What conditions allow the problem to occur?

Not counting drinks for the guest, poor education and awareness of the guest, having a less experienced manager handle the situation

What other problems surround the occurrence of the central problem?

I believe I've mentioned most issues regarding this but I'll list again: poor education and awareness of problem guests, less income from other guests not wanting to sit in my section, unhappy other guests, lack of awareness of previous server, inept manager, loss of dishware and glasses,

INTRODUCTION The three articles covered in this paper discuss how an archivist (and indeed the archives field in general) should deal with the challenges surrounding records of human rights violations and social justice issues. LITERATURE REVIEW Wood et al.'s article, “Mobilizing records: re-framing archival description to support human rights”, focuses on how archives can (and should) modify their item descriptions in order to best serve human rights efforts and those who have been involved in human rights abuses. The article's primary argument is that the traditional archival principles of respect des fonds and provenance are harmful to both investigating human rights abuses and to the survivors of the same.

Over Serving Alcohol Serving alcohol in restaurants is one of the best ways to make money but it comes with its own set of ethical issues. Ethical issues include; over serving, employees drinking on the job, and patrons being allowed to get out of control. When considering over serving, it’s important for the whole staff to make decisions that are the best for the restaurant as well as the guest.

Martinez's plot that she was DISPLACED to after someone failed to realize her plot was still being worked (up until May) and already paid for. She had to be moved from our left side to our right side, to ease her pain of having to transition MY FAMILY (my mother, father and myself) helped dig up that plot and get it ready for her considering she lost a year worth of work. This was a gesture of kindness and an attempt to make right of a situation we did not create. This volunteer "garden manager" was in an uproar about this abandoned plot she was forced to take and he was questioning my parents (when there is a chart which identifies whom it belongs to), he went on to state people "call him" about the lots and what belongs to who - however, don't take a position you are going to complain about.
