Peer-graded Assignment: Activity
Draft influential emails
========================================================================
From: Cuong, Project Manager
To: An Duong, Restaurant Technology Consultant
Subject: Program Expansion Concerns
Good afternoon, Seydou
It was a pleasure to meet with you yesterday and receive your input with regard to an expanded
rollout. Your insight and contributions have been invaluable to the project thus far.
As stated in our last meeting, I am still concerned about expanding the rollout past the
bar sections of our restaurants. Omar has requested that we expand the rollout to
include all dining sections in the Downtown & North locations, but I’m afraid this would
be out of scope from our original intention. In my experience handling projects like this,
an incremental approach affords a more limited risk and allows staff to problem solve
with more limited consequences. As you said in our meeting, a gradual scale-up of
kitchen operations will be better equipped to meet the demands of our customers.
At the end of the day, customer satisfaction drives our revenue. I believe you and I share a
similar concern that an expansive rollout will have consequences that will negatively impact our
customer satisfaction. Would you feel comfortable sharing a list of your biggest rollout
expansion concerns with me, so that I may meet with Omar & Deanna to discuss them further?
Moving forward, I’d like to be able to come to a consensus with our team and ensure
buy-in from both Omar and Deanna that a gradual approach will yield the best results
for long-term revenue growth. I am hoping that by showing a united front, we would
be more convincing to Omar & Deanna to share this mindset.
Warm Regards,
Cuong
Project Manager
