read the case study and answer the question. why is it important for restaurant and foodservice owners and managers to plan in advance for large purchases, such as the van replacement requested by steve?
CASE STUDY "Let's just buy a new catering van," said Steve, the catering manager at the Tea Rose restaurant. How many times are we going to be late on a setup because the van keeps breaking down? Steve was telling Jerri, the general manager of the Tea Rose, that the van used for off-site catering had overheated again. It had to be towed and the set up crew was late getting to the restaurant's most recent catered event. It was not the first time the van had caused trouble. "It's not in the budget," said Jerri. "Well , what will we do if it just keeps breaking down?" Steve asked. It must be in the budget to fix it. We're wasting money and we're making our catering customers unhappy." "I'll call the owner and let her know what's happening with the van. But money is tight right now. I really don't know what she'll say," replied Jerri. "If buying one is out of the question," said Steve, maybe we could rent one. We have four off-site events next week, and I don't think our old van will ever make it that long-if its not still in the shop!" 1.
