Assignment:
Information Request: Brewing Coffee Shop Beverages in the Office
Workers in your office are big coffee drinkers. Some leave work to go to a nearby Starbucks, and others use instant coffee to brew their own. As manager, you realize that productivity and morale could be improved if your office supplied “coffee shop quality” in freshly brewed coffee. You saw a Maxima beverage system at another company, and you decide to look into purchasing such a system for your office. You have a number of questions about such a system.
The biggest problem is plumbing. If it requires plumbing, you can’t use it. You do have cold water available, but not plumbing. You wonder whether a Maxima Brewing System offers drinks other than coffee, such as hot chocolate and tea. Because you are a cappuccino fan, you want to know whether it makes authentic milk foam. naturally, you are concerned about cleaning, maintenance, supplies, and repairs. You also worry about how employees will pay for each cup of coffee or other beverage. Perhaps coin operation is available. A no. 1 concern, of course, is how much the system would cost and what kind of warranty is offered.
Write a well-organized information request to Ms. Ann Pagnotta, Sales Manager, Maxima Brewing Systems, 1849 Alum Creek drive, Columbus, OH 43207. Inquire about a Maxima Brewing System for your 25-person office staff. You need the information within two weeks for the next management council meeting.
Your answer must be, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
