| Many business simulation
games are long, complex and sometimes rather tedious. We think 'The Wine
Bar Business Game' breaks the mould! Ideal for a short course or conference.
Teams enjoy running a wine bar from scratch, taking out a loan to cover the lease and refurbishment of the premises. They need to plan a layout; set the prices; choose a promotion style and budget; decide on the number of staff and what to pay them. They have to run their business on a weekly basis and complete a simple decision form which is fed into the computer. This gives them the results of their trading for that week. Any decision made in one week can be changed the next, so teams need to analyse their results carefully. Are sales low because of high prices, poor staff, limited spend on promotions or because they are not serving cocktails and coffee? As with any new business getting into profit in the early stages is a struggle. Can they get out of the red and make the bank manager happy? Each team starts in the same position and so everyone has a fair chance. The team that develops their business in the most efficient manner will be the winners. This business game does not concentrate solely on profit. Teams have to draw up a quality programme for their business and this affects how much custom they get. But that's not all. If teams are underpaying their staff, they are notified of a possible theft from the till. Also, employees may start complaining that they have no time for coffee breaks, which is a sure sign of understaffing. The computer helps by printing advice on some of the decisions teams have made, and asking them to provide suggestions for improving the quality of their operation. As the simulation game progresses the teams face various challenges. Should they expand into a garden area? Is it worth diversifying or not? They also have to cope with a flu epidemic, a world wine festival and a heat wave! Putting up the different teams' profit each week encourages competition and there's always a clear winner - the team that managed their business most effectively and came up with the best cumulative profit!
