The principle raw material used in KRR restaurants is chicken meat which is sourced from
reliable domestic suppliers. They ensure all their supplies are certified Halal by Jabatan

and conditions imposed by JAKIM at all times. In providing safe and wholesome products to
their guests, they consistently adhere to Good Catering Practice (GCP) which consists of
GCP Workshop and GCP Audit. All of the practices follows Food Act 1983, Food
Regulations 1985, Food Hygiene Regulations 2009, and Control of Infectious Disease Act
1988. GCP Workshop is an in-house training for their restaurant team members, restaurant
managers & support centre staffs to familiarise themselves with the necessary quality control
procedures. From time to time, they also conduct GCP Audit for each restaurant by their

order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption. Upon completion of a
satisfactory audit of the premises, our KRR restaurants at KL Convention Centre and Genting
First World have been granted the HACCP certification.
5.0 MAIN FACTORING AFFECTING CHANGE IN OPERATION MANAGEMENT
Personnel
Internal personnel factors raise a variety of challenges and issues for Kenny Rogers Roasters
restaurant managers. Because Kenny Rogers restaurant workers tend to be paid lower
salaries, turnover in the industry is high. Successful managers find other ways to motivate
their employees, treating them with respect, taking their needs into account when making
scheduling decisions and giving them opportunities to learn new skills.
Legal Factors
Legal factors can create issues that Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant managers must address.
For example, many states have passed laws requiring restaurants with a particular number of
locations to list calorie counts on their menus. In response to such legislation, Kenny Rogers
restaurant managers must figure out ways to post this information so it is accessible to
customers. These laws might also spur some Kenny Rogers restaurant managers to rethink
menu items to make them more appealing to customers who are counting calories.
Corporate Management
Many fast food restaurants don't operate in isolation but rather as parts of chains or
franchises. As a result, managers of these operations must sometimes make decisions and
follow protocols that are rooted in the well-being of the company or franchise as a whole. For
example, a Kenny Rogers restaurant's corporate office might decide to test-market a product
at a particular location, even though the manager of that location would rather not deal with
the logistics of marketing the item and tracking its sales.
Business Climate
In addition to the overall economic climate, Kenny Rogers restaurants can be affected by
general cultural attitudes toward Kenny Rogers food, which shift relative to variables such as
healthy eating campaigns and food safety scares. Kenny Rogers restaurant managers must
develop strategies to proactively deal with these challenges, improving their companies'
images or creating distance from the practices that caused the negative publicity. For
example, when Jack in the Box restaurants were implicated in an E. coli outbreak in 1993,
managers of other quick-service restaurants needed to persuade customers that their locations
were cooking meat to safe temperatures.
5.1 MATERIAL PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
Kenny Rogers Roasters uses ROS (restaurant based ordering system) technology at
Operational Level of its outlets for taking in orders and informing its chefs inside the kitchen
to work on the order placed this type of technology is an example of INTRANET Service that
most of the fast food restaurants today use.The ROS technology is used for cutting the time
between the taking in order and informing the chef. In this case orders are taken on the
counter and the computer automatically sends information to the chef's computer which is
placed in the kitchen for the chefs to process the order.
Besides ,to make quick service possible and to ensure accuracy and security, Kenny Rogers
Roasters restaurants have incorporated hospitality point of sale systems. This makes it
possible for kitchen crew people to view orders placed at the front counter or drive through in
real time. Wireless systems allow orders placed at drive through speakers to be taken by
cashiers and cooks. Drive through and walk through configurations will allow orders to be
taken at one register and paid at another. Modern point of sale systems can operate on
computer networks using a variety of software programs. Sales records can be generated and
remote access to computer reports can be given to corporate offices, managers,
troubleshooters, and other authorized personnel.
Food service chains partner with food equipment manufacturers to design highly specialized
restaurant equipment, often incorporating heat sensors, timers, and other electronic controls
into the design. Collaborative design techniques, such as rapid visualization and computer-
aided design of restaurant kitchens are now being used to establish equipment specifications
that are consistent with restaurant operating and merchandising requirements.
Mobile ordering.
This is one area where fast-food chains are in the forefront. Domino's Pizza is so far along
with it, Kenny rogers Roasters recently introduced their Spanish-language mobile-ordering
app.
iPad order kiosks.
Why wait in line if you can file your order at a kiosk immediately, and then sit down and
relax? Some fast food Company is testing this system out in a new restaurant opened. Expect
more of this, since it could help prevent walk-aways and result in more orders.
Facebook ordering.
This may be the biggest technology leap coming in the next year, as nearly 100 percent of
Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant owners say they plan to have a Facebook presence .
Companies specializing in Facebook-payment integration for restaurants such as ChowNow
and NetWaiter are helping chains to get their ordering onto the popular platform. This is a
fairly low-cost add-on to make, and it has the potential to grow sales, which always gets a
restaurauteur's attention. For instance, the Taco Spot in Charleston, SC saw a 10 percent sales
bump after implementing Facebook-based ordering, trade magazine Fast Casual recently
reported.
Online coupons.
Kenny Rogers Restaurants are using digital coupons, and diners gobble them up -- in the
Technomic survey, 58 percent of diners said they've already used them.
Tech-savvy diners expect elegant solutions that work, as McDonald's clunky test of bolted-to-
the-table iPads showed. But for restaurants that can get it right, integrating technology that.
makes customers happy and turns tables faster will be a no-brainer.
Volume is important here to distinguish between the actual volumes in this case the
number of customers served that the impressive, and the maximum it could cope with. This is
called the capacity of the operation. Capacity is easier to measure because it can be calculated
by multiplying the number of seats in the takeaway by the average number of customers per
hour (calculated by timing the customers) and by the number of hours the takeaway is open.
In other words, imagine there is a queue of people outside the restaurants, what is the
maximum number of customers that the impressive burger could serve then contrast this
capacity figure with the actual number of customers in a day that the restaurant serves. In our
observation and interview Kenny rogers at 1bornoe, Sabah, the volume of customer per day is
approximately 40-90 people while at holidays such as at Saturday and Sunday there are
increasing of customer which is around 90-120 per day
There are several important aspects to measuring variety for restaurants. The first is
the range of different foods that the impressive Kenny rogers serves. It should count the
number of different items on the menu to get an indication of this. The other factor to take
into account is whether the impressive burger will 'customize' food to your own preference.
For example, does it serve Kenny rogers well-done, medium and rare? Regarding on our
interview and observation for their menu , there are three type of main menu such as Roasted
chicken, salad and pasta. But the menu actually considered by time such as breakfast, Lunch
or dinner. For breakfast menu is homemade muffins. While for lunch is much more than just
muffins with the chicken that roasted with great marinde with blend of special ingredients.
For dinner meal is a menu kind of Italian food like macaroni and pasta meals like beef
Bolognaise Spaghetti which can be great to family dinner. Kenny Rogers also serves and
fresh salad such as Caesar salad. So, at Kenny rogers every meals is surved is bound to make
customer crave for more.
