,There are several risks that need to be addressed at Bakers Caf. Here is a summary of the identified risks:

1.Uncertainty and potential job dissatisfaction due to the sale of Bakers Caf to Espresso Caf:

• Limited information about the sale and its impact on employees.
• Concerns about fair treatment and potential pay reductions.
• Possible employee turnover, which could disrupt daily operations.

2. Workplace health and safety hazards:

• Unstable and broken chairs pose a risk to customers and staff.
• Worn and lifting carpet creates a tripping hazard.

3. Data security and loss:

• The computer containing employee details and financial records is not password protected.
• Lack of data backup, which could result in data loss in case of fire, flood, or robbery.

4. Excessive water consumption:

• Inefficient use of water in various caf operations.
• Failure of the water meter to effectively reduce water consumption.

5. Security risk during bank transactions:

• Longer distance to the Bakers family bank increases the risk of robbery during money transportation.

6. Lack of written policies and procedures:

• Varying opinions and practices among staff regarding food handling and storage.
• Food poisoning incidents and service complaints.

7. Blocked emergency exit:

• Boxes of stock and a broken fridge block the back exit, trapping staff members during emergencies.

8.. Risk of theft due to cash kept on the premises:

• Lack of daily banking, resulting in a significant amount of cash (up to $4,000) in the cash register overnight.

Step 1: Risk Identification

1.1 Employee uncertainty and the sale of Bakers Caf to Espresso Caf

Employees are unsure of how the transaction may affect their employment and pay.

Due to worries about receiving a fair shake and receiving less money, several employees are thinking about quitting.

1.2 Risks to employee health and safety

Customers and employees run the risk of being hurt by unstable and broken chairs.

A tripping hazard is created by worn-out and damaged carpet.

1.3 The computer lacks data backup and password protection

There is no password protection on the computer that houses financial and personnel information.

Because the computer's data has not been backed up, there is a chance that it will be lost in the event of a fire, flood, or theft.

1.4 Abundant water use

utilising high intensity settings and running the dishwasher while it's only halfway full are inefficient ways of utilising water.

Produce is rinsed under a swiftly flowing tap.

One flush is used for toilets.

The courtyard's non-native floral plants receive excessive watering.

1.5 Potential dangers connected to banking operations

The risk of robbery during the transportation of cash is increased by the greater distance to the bank.

Since banking is not done every day, a sizeable sum of cash is left on the property overnight.

1.6 Absence of written guidelines and regulations

Lack of written instructions for handling and storing food can result in inconsistent practises, food poisoning, and customer service issues.

1.7 Blocked exit for emergency

Stock boxes and a malfunctioning refrigerator obstruct the emergency exit, confining employees in times of crisis.

1.8 The danger of break-ins brought on by insufficient security and cash storage

Cash kept overnight in the till without a safe.

The risk of theft has increased due to recent break-ins in the region.

Step 2: Risk Assessment

2.1 Determine the likelihood and impact of each risk that has been identified using a rating scale (e.g., low, moderate, high).

Step 3: Risk assessment

3.1 Assess the risks in light of their importance and decide whether risk mitigation is required.

Put a high priority on issues that could significantly affect the caf's operations, reputation, or adherence to the law.

Step 4: Risk Treatment

4.1 Develop and implement strategies to treat and mitigate the identified risks:

Purchase of Bakers Caf by Espresso Caf and Uncertainty Regarding Employees:

Inform the staff about the transaction and any potential repercussions in an open and transparent manner.

Ensure that you will receive fair treatment and job stability.

Work together with the management of Espresso Caf to guarantee a seamless transition and equitable working conditions.

Health and safety risks at work:

To safeguard the security of customers and employees, fix or replace unsteady chairs.

Engage specialised carpet repair services to address the ripped and worn carpet.

To find and resolve other possible hazards, perform routine inspections and maintenance.

Lack of computer data backup and password protection

To prevent unauthorised access, secure the computer system using a password.

To avoid data loss, set up a regular backup mechanism for employee information and financial records.

Use of water in excess

Inform and prepare staff about the value of conservation and water-efficient practises.

Establish rules for how to operate the dishwasher, such as only running it when it is fully loaded and using the correct settings.

Install water-saving fixtures and appliances, such as low-flow toilets and faucets.

To ensure effective use of water, review and modify the non-native plant watering schedule.

Possible dangers related to banking procedures:

Create a daily banking method and policy to reduce the quantity of cash kept overnight on the property.

Use lockable bags or armoured vehicles to move cash while implementing security measures.

Policies and processes are not in writing:

Create detailed, written handling, storing, and serving policies and procedures.

Educate personnel on the rules and periodically check .

Step 5: Control Assessment and Step 6: Residual Risk Analysis

Step 5: Control Evaluation

5.1 Evaluate the success of each risk's established controls.

Check to see if the safety precautions are effective, performing as intended, and bringing the risks to a manageable level.

Step 6: Analysis of Remaining Risk

6.1 Examine the risks that still exist after the controls have been put in place.

Analyse the likelihood and impact of each risk that is still present.

Determine whether the remaining risks are within allowable limits and whether any additional precautions are required.

You can systematically evaluate and address the risks that have been identified, put in place the necessary controls, and keep track of how well the risk management process is working by following these steps. To account for any changes in the caf's operations or outside variables, remember to periodically evaluate and update the risk assessment.
