Club IT is a local dance club that offers live bands DJ music and an atmosphere for food and drinks. The niche market for Club IT is those who enjoy a positive environment for dancing and enjoy different styles of music from local bands to Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Alternative etc. Club IT is looking to improve its overall market share with information management. Currently Club IT has not upgraded their system in the last three years and is looking to improve upon their hardware system if the cost benefits their needs. The opportunity to adopt Microsoft Vista is available. My recommendations is that the adoption of Windows Vista would not at this time be a in the overall benefit for improving information technology. Microsoft Vista’s main goal was to improve security which they have done but the net improvement on tracking information remained relatively the same. Vista has also encountered compatibility issues with non Vista software making the transfer of information less ebb and flow. Currently Club IT’s upstream supply is coming from Sysco, IGA, Food Services Direct, Landmark Coffee, Beverages Unlimited, Vine 2 Wine, and Mid-Town Brews with the majority food supply from Sysco. Seven different suppliers for food and beverages and the like; this means seven different times labor must be accounted for receiving, with seven different accounts to track. This should be whittled down into one or two different companies to make tracking and receiving simpler. My recommendation would be to use Sysco as much as possible for more than just the food supply we are currently using them for. Since our primary focus is not the food and beverage portion and we are looking to create a youthful meal with the atmosphere and not a custom five course meal. This will enable us to reduce time needed in the receiving shipments tracking and billing of multiple suppliers as well as possibly reduce our percentages on each item since we will be using them for more products. When consolidating the food, beverages and alike into one or two suppliers this will also increase the supply chain and our management of it. This will enable us to reduce time focused on many down to a few allowing for more time to improve sound and ambiance on the consumer increasing their overall experience. A happy customer is not only a repeat customer but a bragger. The longer we are able to have our guests the more they will likely spend replenishing their thirsty bodies with beverages, but aside from the complementary sale dancing does not generate continuous revenue. By placing groups towards the dance floor will allow them to want to begin dancing sooner this will allow tables in the back to get turned faster since they will not want to remain stagnant. Those who come to Club IT want to be apart of the live vibe one gets from listening to the many different types of music. What our sales tell us is the total sales for the week of January 1, 2005 but lack a more in depth account of a daily till. Our end of year 21/31/2004 shows us the total restaurant profit was $37,691 and a net income of $28,269. By breaking down our daily sales we can find out what days attract more customers increasing our sales. This will allow us to decrease staff on not hot nights and maybe even change the style of music played on a given night to maximize sales. The ability for Club IT to increase its connectivity is promising. Our small scale allows us the flexibility needed to adapt easily and efficiently to improve our sales. We encompass all genres giving opportunity to reach new customers increasing our overall market. With some minor modifications we will make the necessary improvements needed to remain a positive relevant place for everyone to come and enjoy our services.
