1. Francesca Barbieri worked as an intern and sales assistant in Pizza Rossa in the
summer of 2014.
During this period she understood how a new start up company operates. She
acknowledged the importance of brand building and helped build awareness of
our new pizza by the slice store through social media and direct marketing with
leaflets and tasters. She also checked all items were delivered correctly and
products were appropriately priced to have an adequate profit margin.
Francesca also worked as a cashier, sales assistant and barista, interacting
directly with the client. She helped with the opening and closing activities such
as setting up the displays, pricing, health and safety checks and matching checks
with cash in the tills.
She proudly represented the brand with a positive attitude and was polite to the
clients. She bonded with her co-workers and helped create a friendly
atmosphere in the store.
I believe that this experience has helped her understand what needs to be done
to start up a business. Even if it takes a lot of time and energy, I am confident she
will be successful if she decides to run her own business.
