Recommendation Report

TO: Scott, the manager at In-N-Out, Boss

FROM: Ambyr Slack, employee

SUBJECT: Recommendation to have a “new hires” one year party

As you requested, I have discussed with the majority of the new hires at store 279 to see if they would be interested in having this party. The purpose of this report is to recommend where and how this would take place. After some discussion with others, we decided on having the party at either Nicolosis or Bjs. With your comments in mind, I developed the following criteria for the ideal place for our party:

1.      Attendance

2.      Food

3.      Cost

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that we reserve Nicolosis for the one year new hires party. Nicolosis is great at accommodating big parties and being able to fit the expected amount of people attending. Food would also be fairly easy and cheap due to it being an Italian restaurant.

DISCUSSION

ATTENDANCE

With a total of 50 new hires and additional associates, we expect about 75 people to attend. This causes us to need a large party room to accommodate our needs.

Nicolosis. I have gone down to the restaurant and looked at its seating and it has a perfect sized party room. I believe it will work perfectly for our plan of celebration.

Bjs. I have visited the restaurant and looked at their seating area as well. They don’t have a specific party room but they have an outside area that might be suitable.

Conclusion. Due to our large party, we feel Nicolosis will fit our needs sufficiently. They have a lot of space to give our employees space to walk around and converse with each other.

FOOD

Instead of getting everyone separate meals, we have decided on getting 5 large dishes.

Nicolosis. Being an Italian restaurant, we thought it was necessary to get both cheese and pepperoni pizza, and 3 platters of different pastas.

Bjs. This restaurant has a variety of meals but specializes in pizza. We will serve cheese, pepperoni, Hawaiian, meat lovers, and the works. Hope you like pizza!

Conclusion. Nicolosis has been chosen due to the variety of foods. We don’t feel it is fair to only serve pizza and make people feel obligated to eat it.

COST

We have budgeted to spend around $500.

Nicolosis. With all 5 dishes, the total outcome has come out to be $325. Once adding drinks, we will be spending a grand total of about $400.

Bjs. With all 5 dishes, the total has come out to be $412. Once adding drinks, we will be spending a grand total of about $475.

Conclusion. Nicolosis not only has met our budget, but has allowed us to save money as well.
