1. Recommendations -Noah Example- Recommendations: Our group had various recommendations for the company. Most importantly, we think that Playa Bowls must implement a strict structure for franchisees to follow. As the company continues to expand and grow, it is essential that they do not lose sight of their roots and their values. Currently, they are corporately structured to operate a small-scale business model. As the company expands, they need to implement a plan that will help them structurally oversee and manage all operations efficiently and effectively. One way we suggest they achieve this is by incorporating some vertical structure to their corporate business. They can do so by having a more organized platform for the executive team. They must alter their current structure in a way that allows for better management all while staying focused on their flat-natured culture that their customers have grown to love. Or group felt as though Playa Bowls would benefit best from this new structure. As the company continues to grow, new related products (like poke bowls, smoothies, soups, and oatmeal) will cut costs and strengthen the brand. This is so because management will easily be able to translate their customer’s wants and needs into the products that are sold in stores. Overall, the company should develop six strong business units including operations, marketing and public relations, accounting, legal, supply chain, and research and development. 2.

With such expansions underway, the company must assure that they have a headquarter set up prior to the opening of the international stores. It is especially important for them to have a headquarters since they are new to the franchise and international. Their structure must be pristine in order to assure success. A headquarters will also help to ensure that the stores maintain its culture that the customers have grown to love.The Playa Bowls brand was built on the “Pineappleland” experience and must be sure to keep that brand strong internationally. 3. Expectations -Noah Example - Expectations: Our groups expectations for Playa Bowls continues its rapid growth and take over of the industry. It is anticipated that Playa Bowls achieves it goal of becoming a full on nationwide company. That goal seems easily achievable considering they have 65 locations all across the globe they have already partially achieved their goal and will continue to fully do so. The fact that they were not just willing to settle just on the east coast but to go nationwide shows the culture and the confidence of the company as a whole. Like we said previously the skys t ...
