a warm feeling of excitement. Loud and medium tempo makes customers feel
relaxed with a comfortable seating arrangement. Entrance has the citrus smell
which enhances the positivity of the place.
• Employees: well-dressed employees with the same, clean outfit. . The waiters
wear black t-shirts with red collar and the ones working in the kitchen wear
red t-shirts and black collar. This makes it easy for the customers to identify
and differentiate them.

19. • Taking the order: waiters may fail to record the accurate order of the
customer, might mix it with other orders or they might forget to add
the extra customization customers sometimes add to their order. This
may result in extreme customer dissatisfaction.
• Handing over the food: waiters might end up dropping food over the
customer, or might serve different table’s order or not might be able
to place it properly on the table. All these can frustrate the
customers.
• Bill Payment: Madchef is not a self-service restaurant so customers
pay after they are finished eating. Waiters might swap bills with other
tables or they might fail to make the exact bill receipt and add extra
things which were not ordered. Also, waiters should have idea about
the whole process of transaction through card.
Key Fail Points
ELYSIAN
20. • Service staff needs to be well trained regarding serving food properly,
recording the menu and making the bill receipt.
• To serve clean and organized food, it should be monitored from the
kitchen. Regular kitchen inspection could be done.
• The tables could be numbered so that it is easier for the waiters to keep
track of the customers order and not make any mistake.
• Bill payment software should be up to date with all the accurate food
price and name.
• The system needs to be fast with a cashier who can operate it properly.
Solution

21. Recommendation
• Madchef could be more Transparent.
• There can be a slight change in their servicescape.
• The environment can be more preciously represent a Fast Food shop
not a fine-dine restaurant.
• Front-line employees, AKA Waiters can refrain from push-sell, cross-
sell or up-sell.

22. Conclusion
• Apart from few minor points, Madchef offers an excellent set of
services; everything starting from the price, place or its people is
almost picture perfect.
• With the recommended change Madchef just can turn into a picture
perfect service provider and a set a new standard in this very
industry.
