Analyze the business’ scheduling management.

In your analysis, detail two different staffing scenarios for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business. What are the pros and cons of each staffing scenario?

Use a Word table or Excel spreadsheet to show both staffing scenarios for each day of the week. Include the daily and weekly total staffing costs and number of hours worked for each employee.If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, the following provides additional information you have gathered from the staffing analysis:

Shifts have been scheduled according to who wants to work which shift. This has generally worked out well, but you realize you need to tighten up the scheduling process in order to optimize a staffing model. Two employees are required to make a coffee beverage. One employee takes the orders, and a barista makes the coffee drink and hands it to the customer.

Baristas are paid $14/hour, regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time.

Full-time employees (up to 40 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $12/hour.

Part-time employees (up to 20 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $9/hour.

All full-time employees receive company benefits that equate to 15 percent of their hourly rate. (This is known as a benefits load.)

All full-time employees are paid at 150 percent of their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. Full-time employees can only work a maximum of 50 hours per week. The benefits load is not applied to overtime hours.

All part-time employees are paid at 150 percent of their regular rate for all hours worked over 20 hours per week. Part-time employees can only work a maximum of 26 hours per week.

It costs $500 to hire each additional employee, and it costs $250 to terminate an employee.

Full-time employees are likely to resign if moved to part-time status.

The coffee shop is open 84 hours per week. There are two additional hours allocated each day for one employee to perform opening and closing activities. (That is, one hour is allocated for opening duties and one hour is allocated for closing duties.)

Your current level of staffing for coffee beverages is as follows:

Baristas – 1 full-time; 3 part-time.

Non-barista – 1 full-time; 2 part-time.
