THE CANTEEN CONCESSIONAIRE
PMP Manufacturing Corporation is engaged in the production of quality spare parts for motorcycles for export and local sales. The plant employs more than 300 line workers and employs about 35 office personnel.
The canteen that serves snacks and regular meals is located inside the plant. The operator is an outside concessionaire who pays no rent, water, power and electricity. While it is private in nature and independent of the company. The canteen owner is a relative of the company
president. The company provides all the facilities including plates, spoons, forks, and other kitchen utensils.
Angie the concessionaire manager has been complaining to Mr. KD Estradia the HR manager that the cost of food has gone up since the implementation of the EVAT law and that he cannot afford to serve meals at the current price of viands at Php20.00 per serving and rice at Php5.00 per cup. Mr. Estradia cannot give any definite answer to the problem of Ms. Angie as he has to discuss this with the management and employees' association.
In the meeting with the employees' association Kyle the president complained that the employees are not satisfied with the kind of service the canteen has been giving them. He stated that the food choices are limited and most servings are vegetables and meat. The food is almost the same every day. He suggested that a new concessionaire be hired instead.
Mr. Estradia is in deep thought in his office to solve the problem. How to tell the company about the canteen concessionaire problem and the request of the employees for a change in canteen operator.
He is thinking either a food subsidy or allowance or to give the employees their meal chits and charge to the company funds.
