Unit 6 - The Fachetti Group Complete Notes:
Key information about The Fachetti Group:
- The Fachetti Group was previously made up of two divisions; the restaurant division
and the manufacturing division
- Fabio Fachetti owns the business and he is a famous celebrity chef and TV presenter
who is well known for his innovative Italian recipes
- Katrina Szynalski was the divisional manager for the restaurant division, having 20
years of experience in Fabio’s most successful restaurant
- Sunny Elder is the divisional manager for the manufacturing division
The restaurant division: (Division was closed down after Fabio’s plan was implemented)
- Katrina Szynalski was the divisional manager
- The restaurant division was a collection of luxury restaurants in the UK’s major cities
- In 2020 when many restaurants closed down due to the pandemic, Fabio opened up his
restaurants to take home delivery orders
- Despite the good performance, Fabio was worried that some of his restaurants
wouldn’t survive the closure and discussed their permanent closure
- After Fabio read Sunny’s proposal which stated that the restaurants were no longer
viable, he laid out plans for the future of the business, which included that the
restaurants were to close with immediate effect, Katrina would become the deputy
manager of the manufacturing division, all 15 head chefs were offered positions as
quality inspectors and offer restaurant staff could apply for jobs in the factories
The manufacturing division:
- Sunny Elder is the divisional manager
- This division consists of factories that produce gourmet chilled Italian meals
- The meals are sold to many of the UK’s major supermarkets (B2B - Business to
Business)
- These meals are high quality and are sold at a premium price under the Fachetti’s
Kitchen brand, showing that they have a luxury brand image
- Under Fabio’s new plan two new factories will be opened, showing that the division is
expanding and there is more focus on being a supplier to the major supermarkets
How the workforce is currently motivated: (Learning Aim D)
- Staff are given bonuses when they hit their targets
- Bonuses are an example of a financial motivator
- In the case study, there are lots of references to a high remuneration which means that
Taylor’s Scientific Management motivational theorem is being used
- This fits in with Sunny’s beliefs and behaviour towards staff as he uses an X-Theory
where staff are only motivated through pay and should be told what to do
- Taylorism can cause other factors that motivate employees to be overlooked, leaving
the higher levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs unfulfilled
