Subject: English 301 Progress Report for Formal Report
As outlined in our course syllabus, the following requirement is my official Progress Report on my project concerning the management of food waste at Milestones Bar and Grill. Following the Progress Report you will find two PDF file attachments containing the intended interview questions and survey sheet that will be posted at Milestones Bar and Grill.
Intended Audience
This report is meant for the upper management team at Milestones Bar and Grill. Recipients of this report will be General Manager Kirsty Labeck, Assistant General Manager Connor Sheary, and Regional Manager Chad Pollock.
Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to suggest a plan that utilizes the amount of wasted product within Milestones Bar and Grill. Furthermore, this report argues that it would be in Milestones’ best interest to invest their time in charity organizations like soup kitchens, by using near expired product to make various meals that could be provided to those in need.
Significance of Report
Being a part of charity organizations, especially one’s that revolve around feeding hungry individuals in our community, is important when running a business. This kind of engagement showcases a company’s compassion for the community it is a part of. Giving back to our community will not only help others in need, but will also reflect kindly on Milestones.
