You are required to develop another roster for a given period as outlined to you by your trainer below. If this is concurrent with the roster developed in Part A, identify 5 options for economical approaches e.g. combining workplace tasks ; staggering start and finish times or similar. Your colleagues have told you that the roster during period 1 was insufficient in terms of staff mix and numbers to handle Friday and Saturday nights due to the high frequency and variance of different meals ordered If you work in a different department apply this issue in that area). Reflect this in your next roster by including 1 additional level 1 or 2 and 1 additional staff at level 3 during the evening service (or e.g. check out/reception - during the morning shift).
