  • “Expanding Business Operations: Proposal for 24/7 Venue Opening and Introduction of New Entertainment Services” Implementing Contract Changes and Improving Business Operations in a Retail Venue

    This is my synopses :
    Introduction and Background
    Currently
    the venue is open from 8am until 2am on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
    and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8am-11:30pm. The bar is open from
    9am-11:30pm every day.
    We are
    proposing to change the opening hours of the venue to be 24 hours, 7 days a
    week. Analysis from our operating system, sentinel, indicates that there is an
    opportunity to increase our revenue by extending our opening hours as our Visitor
    Time Play (VTP) just before closing is strong and it will give us an
    opportunity to improve our local market share. The bar will be open from
    9am-12am as daily cash checks need to be performed. I propose to apply for a Bingo
    licence and Sky TV and to operate the venue as an entertainment centre.
    Outline of Challenge or Opportunity
    Due to
    the increase in trading hours additional staff will be recruited and existing
    staff will work across the new trading times as per Proposed Rota (see page 4). There will be reduction in contracted hours as currently contracted
    hours are hard to exceed with new planning opening times, i.e. a reduction in
    will more than offset the additional hours. Bar trade will increase by potentially
    75% as currently the average bar, snooker and pool take is 3K; pre Covid the take
    was 12K, although this was when Sky TV was installed.
    Aims and Objectives
    Increase profit and revenue,
    Apply for a Bingo licence,
    Introduce a new product and layout of the machine.
    Venue refurbishment- separate gaming area AGC & Bar with Snooker
    & Pool and Sky TV
    Installation of Sky TV
    Installation of Admiral branded signage
    Follow the structured marketing campaign for acquired venues,
    which includes a £2500 Giveaway, Admiral branded artwork (POS) and distribution
    leaflets
    Recruitment: currently not required, however, there may be a need
    Communication: staff briefings and feedback reviews
    Training on Bingo, use of new equipment and campaign knowledge.
    Identification of potential
    stakeholders to be involved in consultation.

    Current Structure:
    Due to
    the increase in trading hours additional staff in the future may need to be
    recruited and existing staff will work across the new trading times as below.
    There will be reduction in contracted hours as currently contracted hours are

  • “Creating an Engaging Circle Time: A Montessori Approach” Introduction: Circle time is a crucial part of a child’s social development and an essential component of the Montessori curriculum. It provides a break from the routine work cycle and

    Circle Time Original Presentation
    Circle time is an important aspect of a child’s social development. During circle time, the teacher will engage the class together to give the children a break from the routine work cycle. Circle time is a good time to introduce new topics/ideas to the children without a formal presentation. The teacher can incorporate relevant cultural elements of the children, set up themes of the month, or address certain classroom issues to teach the children in an alternative way. Circle time helps to build classroom management skills as one of the goals is to engage the children through fun activities. It is important to develop creative activities for the children that they can relate to and learn from.
    Assignment Description: You will be expected to submit a report that details the following components of an engaging Circle Time. 
    Creation – How did you come up with the idea or concept?
    Development – How did you develop features of the activity? Could you incorporate any Montessori materials to elevate the circle time experience?
    Planning – How will you order or sequence the elements of your presentation? What steps are involved?
    Implementation – How will you keep the children engaged throughout the activity? Will you ask the children to engage with any materials? 
    Contingency Plan – How will you involve all the children, especially those who are ‘wanderers’? What will happen with the child(ren) with learning differences? Experienced teachers have all of these scenarios of group dynamics assessed.
    Reflection – How did it go? What would you do differently next time? What did the children particularly enjoy?
    Your Circle Time can incorporate Music, Language, Story Telling, Nature Culture, etc. The goal of this presentation is to assess your planning and creativity, originality and ability to choose engaging topics which involve the children and assess your classroom management skills.
