Struck Struck is a business that has been around since 1971 serving a various amount of coffee for people all around the united States. This business started in the city of Seattle with getting port of coffee from around the world. Today they are international business getting in approximately $11 billion dollars a year. With this being said Struck Is a very high pace, high traffic environment with all the stores giving a home feel to them so when you order coffee you don’t feel like you even left your house.
Question 1: What role does corporate social responsibility and the employees play In Struck approach to business and why? What were two mall reasons for this approach? The role that Corporate social responsibility has in the approach to business Is that they are a company the really gives back to the environment, costumers. By working on its CARS they are using more efficient lighting in the stores in the year 2013 according to the Global Report. They have something on the Global website that was interesting.
With the respect to profit in the public company they had a cycle saying aspirer]PartnerCllnnovate0Learn this was a none ending cycle and this play a role In he approach to the business because what this means is if the business every wants to succeed more than it already has then it needs to learn more which in turn will aspire then to have idea about going more above and beyond to make their business the best. As far as the partner goes I believe that you need to have someone else Ideas not Just you own to run a successful business.
Then with that being said you innovate what you have and don’t have to make the best of any situation. The roles employees have in the struck approach are a little different than CARS. With being an employee you are on the front line. A costumer comes up orders something you have to give them great customer service and If you don’t they are unlikely to come back. With being an employee you need to realize that it is important that the show you put on for struck is everything to the costumer. If you screw up the order, blow a costumer off then it will fall as putting forth and effort for the business.
I believe that the two main reasons for this approach is to show that a business can succeed if they keep working at it and never give up and secondly if you make your business well known for something so good, that means more and more costumers will buy from your business. That Is what business is all about. Question 2: Compare the employee benefits of Struck with Subway and KEF. Are they about the same or not? – give three examples to explain it. Struck- at Struck, our Total Pay package Is called “Your Special Blend. ” It’s a benefits package that Is tailored to the needs of our partners.

The one thing subway told me was it all depends on the store you work at too. I did find the basic though 401 k, retirement, free sub when you eat depends on locations, 10% off merchandise and subs outside of work again depending on location. KEF- Job Benefits: Health insurance is offered to qualified employees of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The type of health insurance that is offered to employees includes medical and dental insurance. Vision and eye care is also offered to qualified employees. Kentucky Fried Chicken also discounts on gym memberships and fitness facilities in the area where an employee who is qualified works.

Qualified employees are also offered disability and accidental insurance.

Child care programs are available for qualified employees through Kentucky All three of these companies are about the same.
For example the only one that didn’t offer tuition reimbursement for school is subway. All subway had to offer was if you going to be a manager it pay for your classes. All were the same in Health care coverage for full time employees. And the third example is they are all about the same in getting some type of discount with that company. Question 3: Give at least three examples/indicators that demonstrate that Struck s a successful company. How much do you think the success is related to their corporate social responsibility efforts? 1 . They pay great attention to detail.
From personal experience at struck I would go in there and order a chi tea latte with extra shot of coffee and light on the whipped cream and ice. It was a unique order and they make it Just perfect every time I order it. It is like the employees have a passion for doing what they are doing. 2. They make it feel like a place to come back. They employees are so kind. They clean up tables and will help you out in any way possible. I have been a costumer of trucks for a good 5 years now and not once can I say I had a problem with any employee there.
Even if you don’t know what to order they will suggest things they like. Sometimes they let you try it then if you don’t like it they will make a different one. 3. The convenience of the store. It is always clean and has free wife. Struck like to call it third place. Home is first; Work is second, Struck is third. They always have games and things to play well drinking coffee or eating a muffin or something. I believe that corporate has a lot to do with the way that they are so successful cause as I have always believe a Journey of a thousand miles must always begin with a single step.
