Essay 2 task description
Background
Miranda Swinton was staring at the figures from the cafe, they were not good. She knew there
had decrease in revenue – but examining the data now it looked like it had decreased by
approximately 50%. This disaster related to the Coronavirus and the impact that it was having
on the business was substantial. It was very hard for Miranda. She had worked so hard and
now it could all be for nothing.
Nina, one of Miranda’s dedicated customers, poked her head into the café.
Nina: Hi Miranda, I know it is early, but any chance of a coffee?
Miranda: Of course, Nina. Come on in.
Nina: I am sure that Coronavirus is affecting your business, but how hard?
Miranda: Well, we are still serving coffee and few sandwiches, but it is the dinner time that is
causing me the most problems.
Nina: Why’s that?
Miranda: Well, coffee, sandwiches and other lunch stuff is fine, but really, we came in to our
own in the evenings. That is when people drop by for an early meal or have a catch up. We
shut up early, but it is when our chefs get to try different ideas and it is very popular.
Nina: Yes, I must admit I do miss that. So why don’t you keep open for dinner?
Miranda: Because we can’t have people in the restaurant.
Nina: True, but why not do take-aways or even better, make it home delivery! You just need
delivery drivers.
Miranda: I don’t have any drivers and I have to let everyone go.
Nina: Well, maybe you can employ the current staff as drivers. I know it is not working in their
preferred occupation, but it is a job. And you can use the governments Job Keeper 1 package
to keep paying them until you can open again.
Miranda: That’s a great idea Nina, and it would help getting Erica and Maurice back into the
cooking. I will look at the other staff to see if they could help. I would have to think about
where we could deliver to. But what about the pay forward part?
Nina: What’s that?
Miranda: Before COVID-19, in the evenings we could ask the patrons to participate in a pay
forward, where someone can pay a bit more and we can serve the older people in the
community and give them a good meal, for free. We do it for all our customers, but the
evening is when it works best. It is a way of building community, especially for the older
Job Keeper is a Federal Government program to ensure that an employer can keep employees who have
been working for 12 months, from industries that have been closed due to COVID19.

people, it makes them feel part of the community. Unfortunately, because of the restrictions
we can’t do that any more.
Nina: First up, you just need delivery drivers. And for the pay forward, just ask people if they
want to put something on their bill, it doesn’t have to be much, you could nominate an
amount or give them the option to put whatever they want. Oops, I’d better get going, I will
send you some information that can give you some ideas about who lives in the area.
Miranda: Thank you Nina for those great ideas, I feel much better now!
Miranda went back to work, and putting the numbers away, she started fixing coffee and
making sandwiches. A little while later her phone indicated a new messaged had been
received. “Hi Miranda, here are some websites for you to go to. They give you some good
data on who is in your area, what customer you might have, and how they view their
community. Nina”
Miranda texted back, “Thanks Nina, I am so grateful for your help. Miranda”
Nina responded, “You are more than welcome, I would like to see you survive and I would like
to pick up a bottle of that fabulous Israeli Date Honey you serve. I will pay for it when I next
come by, and put on a bit for the pay forward. We are all in this together! Nina”
Miranda responded, “I am so glad you like it and it will be here. Miranda”
Miranda was snapped back to reality as one of her customers comes into the café and asked
for long black coffee, “Of course Mr Sato, coming right up.”
While making the coffee Miranda kept thinking “OK, I need to look at this information,
because I need to focus on who are my clients now, but more importantly in the future? What
do they want, so that I can match their expectations? I had better get more insights for my
business.”
Task
Miranda has been so pleased with the work you have done for Swinging Foods and now has
tasked you to write a short evaluation in essay format. The essay should evaluate the
information provided in the discussion and then conclude with a clear and well-justified
recommendation on whether Miranda should adopt a home delivery set up for her business,
using her own drivers so that her business would survive the current situation, with
consideration of the JobKeeper package from the Government. You should also examine the
community aspects for the business.
Miranda has given you three websites she got from Nina, but you know you will need to go
beyond this to get the information required. You remember that Miranda has said “Just try
to keep it short, I don’t have much time to read, about 1500 or so words. Tell me what will
work and why, you know, how it will help Swinging Foods.”

OVERCOMING ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF COVID-19
2
The entire world is struggling with a pandemic that is spreading fast like bush-fire- the
Covid-19. Enterprises continue to experience low business because of reduced utilization of
services provided; low revenues have forced hotels to lay off some employees. Some food joints
have even closed down. The impacts of the virus are diverse and continue ripple throughout the
globe as people and businesses get acquainted with the new reality (Nicola, Alsafi, Sohrabi,
Kerwan, Al-Jabir, Iosifidis & Agha, 2020). Hotel industry is among the economic sectors which
have been adversely affected by the pandemic. The challenges within the hotel industries owe to
minimized movements and lockdowns within economies. As social distancing concept become
popular, many consumers prefer to stay at home while trying to continue their daily activities as
they adhere to guidelines given by the World Health Organization. Businesses across the world
are feeling the impacts of the virus. Therefore, it is essential to adapt accordingly and device
measures to offset the damage caused as well and eliminate future loss as a result of a similar
pandemic. Excellent planning will help protect business performance in the long run. Always
hold hope about the future.
Small cafes and other medium-size business entities are likely to face a worse crisis from
the Covid-19 pandemic due to their vulnerability to change. They face distractions in the supply
chains and less demand; some might even shut down until incident of recovery (Fernandes,
2020). Government, therefore, plays a significant role in ensuring continuity of operations within
the hospitality industry. The government has issued funds towards rescuing operations within
small and medium business enterprises. The cafe needs to uphold customer confidence and
create trust among new clients. New practices such as the delivery of foodstuffs need to be used
to control the environment where the cafe operates. Communication should take key role
reaching out to the population; it needs to be done in a non-aggressive and gentle way to ensure
their safety is upheld. Communication will also help the cafe identify the needs of her target
clientele. Business promotion needs to be conducted positively to show individuals the benefits
accrued from the consumption of different recipes.
Food delivery is the new normal amidst changing regulation…
