The brand found success in serving the community through its event & food services business. As they grew, the management found several operational challenges that inhibited productivity. Har Yasin worked with NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) to improve productivity through the WorkPro Job Redesign initiative. Har Yasin’s management found that the food ordering process was held back by miscommunication due to its manual order taking system. The manual order taking system resulted in duplicate and erroneous orders leaving the kitchen, causing wastage and delays in serving its guests. Additionally, when customers phoned to enquire about its wedding event services, older workers had to manually cross-check a physical calendar when checking for wedding event availability. This resulted in less-than-ideal customer service and long wait times for potential customers.
Through the WorkPro Job Redesign initiative, Har Yasin implemented an online ordering system and a hall booking management system to help streamline the ordering and booking process for its customers. The upgraded system included a delivery rider application that allows them to keep customers updated via order tracking and provide delivery riders with accurate customer information. Additionally, both hardware & software systems are fully integrated to ensure information is synchronised and up-to-date. Customers can now make orders, complete payments and book events through their online portal or mobile app.
The introduction of automated processes through implementing the right technology helped to reduce miscommunication between servers and kitchen staff, resulting in clear and legible orders going to the kitchen. Online payment systems lessen the need for staff members to handle cash and count change during transactions physically. The ordering process has been shortened from two to three minutes down to under a minute and only requires one wait staff instead of the previous five. Through the WorkPro Job Redesign initiative, Har Yasin’s staff are now able to focus on more productive and value-added tasks such as providing a higher quality of service to its guests. Har Yasin shared the productivity gains with nine of its older workers through a wage increment.
