INTRODUCTION
For the purpose of this researched report we will use the Breeze Nightclub case study as a
vehicle to demonstrate current operational issues and challenges within the late
entertainment industry, and we will conclude with recommendations and an action plan,
giving guidelines of how those type of operations may add business value to their
organizations and how to gain competitive advantage.
We will start by describing and analyzing the type of operations carried and the operation
processes within nightclubs. We will then focus on customer satisfaction and how it would
be measured. Identifying critical success factors, and how a competent operations strategy
may assist to achieve the organizations objectives.
1.0 THE BREEZE NIGHTCLUB CASE STUDY
Breeze Nightclub is a relatively new business, operating at about two years. It is located at
the best spot upon the seaside of the capital of Crete in Greece. It is an investment of about
3 million euros and for its 2 past years of operations is the busiest and most successful
nightclub of the island. It is an open air nightclub, with 3000 square meters operational
space. The capacity of the place could reach 2500 customers on busy nights and an
average daily turnover is 40000 euros. Even though of its success, the last 2 months the
nightclub has a significant drop of business revenue and venue capacity.
2.0 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DESIGN
The diverse services and complex organization of a night entertainment venue require an
effective management system designed according to a careful developed plan. The
management system for nightclubs must be comprehensive, encompassing all necessary
management activities and all aspects of available or potentional resources for example food
and beverage products, labor, equipment, energy, time (Flynn et al, 2000). The
organizational structure of nightclubs varies from property to property, even when size,
levels of service, type and other categorical descriptions seem similar (Ninemeier, 1986).

While each nightclub is different, certain divisions, departments, functions and
responsibilities may be viewed as typical. On Figure 1.1 we may see the organizational
chart of Breeze nightclub, and the way roles and responsibilities of its 95 full time
employees have been designed.
2.1 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As we observe on the organizational chart on Figure 1.1, General Manager has the
responsibility of all processes and operations through out the organization including those
services that have been outsourced for cost efficiency reasons. We should mention here
that shareholders in nightclub industry traditionally, they are involved on the decision making
process and even on the operations management (Flynn et al, 2000). Nevertheless, on the
Breeze case, authority of decision making has been clarified in advance, therefore the
General Manager has the authority of controlling all functions except those related to
Financial Investments. Deputy Manager is a key person who will communicate the strategy
between the management board and the whole organization and will have a more hands
on role on the operation. The Executive Chef will be responsible for food orders and food
storing, plus its typical responsibilities for efficient usage of resources, menu design and food
preparation. The Executive Chef would be responsible to supervise all other Kitchen staff
and stewards. Security supervisor is a very crucial and responsible role in nightclubs. Due to
nature of the business, the operation hours, the consumption of alcohol by customers, and
the competitive relationships with other nightclub, this person should have very good
managerial, communication and customer service skills. This person will supervise all
security and valet (parking) services staff plus he will ensure the safe and secure operations
inside and outside the premises. The restaurant supervisor will be responsible for the
smooth operations in the restaurant and make sure that service reach or exceed the
operational standards, prior set. Bar supervisor is the person who will deliver and
communicate efficiently the products to customers. One of his/her main responsibilities is to
ensure that resources such as beverages, people, money, equipment are handled and
2

controlled with the best possible way. In big scale nightclub operations bartender could be
the cashier himself or another person could be dedicated for cashiering duties. In the case of
Breeze there was no separate cashiers hired. That was decided for 2 main reasons. The
first is for cost efficiency and the second for having Bar supervisors motivated and
empowered. Waiters A would be responsible to serve drinks on the tables or to the people
wouldnt be able to reach the Bars due to be overcrowded or maybe they would find it more
convenient to be served where they stand. Waiters A should control their assistants and
make sure that service standards have been met or exceed. The Public Relations (PR)
supervisor should make sure that most of repeated or VIP customers has been greeted
during the night and gathering feedback from the customers. Any negative feedback should
be communicated to the Deputy or the General Manager in order correction action to been
taken. PR supervisor would be responsible for bookings and allocation of customers by
controlling the hostess during the night. DJs and musicians would be responsible to deliver
the best possible quality of sound and vision effects plus the best selection and mix of music.
Purchasing and storage supervisor would be responsible for food and beverage orders,
storing and inventory control. Purchasing supervisor would not be though, responsible for
closing deals with suppliers, as this is a very crucial and sensitive procedure with regards of
price, quantity, quality and further offers to be gained, and thus General Manager should be
involved. Outsourcing services are important to be controlled with maximum efficiency as
well. Even if most of them does not get involved during the operation hours of the nightclub
sometimes they may. For example the IT services may be needed following a crash of a
system during the night. Therefore, good communication and good relationship should be
maintained with all outsourcing services partners.

3.0 THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS MODEL
The overall objective of operations is to use a transformation process to add value and
create competitive advantage (BPP Learning Media, 2006:292). The main idea of the
framework Figure 1.2, is that various resources will be inserted and will be transformed into
products and/or services for customers (BPM Learning Media, 2006; P. Harris, 1995; Verma
& Thompson, 1999; Edwards & Ingram (1995). Within the nightclub industry, this product
and service delivery takes the form of a physical interaction between employee and
customer, but it could get much more complex than that (we will analyse customer
satisfaction later on this report). As we see in Figure 1.2 the main resources used in
nightclub industry are: People, Money, Time, Procedures, Energy, Facilities, Equipment, and
Inventory (Ninemeier, 1986). Those resources will be transformed during the operational
hours into services, experiences, feelings, (such as excitement, joy, pleasure, love, dance)
and physical products (such as food and drinks). Due to the nature of the business
transformed outputs may involve illegal services and products such as prostitution and
drugs.
However, the nightclub industry, being a service industry, must take account of the particular
nature of the products and services offered, namely:
they are perishable and cannot always be inventoried;
they cannot usually be stored or kept for later use or consumption;
they are often diverse and personalized in nature;
demand can be difficult to determine and may fluctuate quite considerably,
most services cannot be transported and must be provided or utilized on site;
most services have a high labour input (Edwards & Ingram (1995).

3.1 OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT CYCLE
Operations Management involves the design, implementation and control of the above
processes (BPM Learning Media, 2006). If the total product is to be administered effectively,
nightclubs managers need to acquire an understanding of the complete process involved in
planning, implementation and control, including knowledge of the design and development
stages (P. Harris, 1995). The basic concepts which underpin operations in the nightclub
industry are exemplified in the integrated systems approach to business organizations
Edwards & Ingram (1995). Business systems may be viewed as cycles made up of inputs
and outputs, an approach applicable to nightclub sector (Figure 1.3).
3.2 FUNCTIONS AND PROCESSES
A much-quoted source by Sasser et al. (1978) cited in Johns N, & Lee-Ross (1996), places
operations on a continuum according to the proportion of goods or services in the
product. This continuum has been applied to a wide range of different service industries
and the concept is reviewed by Shams and Hales (1989); P. Harris (1995); Edwards &
Ingram (1995). These authors propose that, in fact, the goods and services components
of service packages are integrated and inseparable. Therefore, for the purpose of this report
we will use the framework for the Hospitality Operations Management cited in P. Harris
(1995) and we will adapt it onto the Breeze Nightclub case study (Figure 1.4, see also
Table 1.0), suggesting that it could be used by most of nightclubs in the industry due to the
holistic interrelations of the late entertainment venue organisations. For efficient results of
services and products all functions should be integrated, interlinked and aligned to the
business strategy of the organisation.

4.0 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN NIGHTCLUB INDUSTRY
In todays competitive environment one of the most important goals of corporate cultures is
retaining and satisfying current and past customers. Experience shows that only consumer
oriented organizations can achieve this goal (Pizam & Ellis, 1999). These companies focus
on the needs and wants of specific target groups and then work hard to maximize
satisfaction with the product or service being offered(Vavra, 1997:12). Customer satisfaction
is considered as a necessary condition for customer retention and loyalty and therefore
helps in realizing economic goals like turnover and revenue (Reichheld & Aspinal, 1994;
Scheuing, 1995). Customer satisfaction is a psychological concept that involves the feeling
of well-being and pleasure that results from obtaining what one hopes for and expects from
an appealing product and/or service (WTO, 1985). Customer satisfaction is the leading
criterion for determining the quality that is actually delivered to customers through the
product/service and by the accompanying servicing (Vavra, 1997). Satisfaction reinforces
positive attitudes toward the brand, leading to a greater likelihood that the same brand will
be purchased again. Dissatisfaction leads to negative brand attitudes and lessens the
likelihood of buying the same brand again (Assael, 1987:47). Unlike material products or
pure services, most Nightclub experiences are an amalgam of products and services.
Therefore it is possible to say that satisfaction with a Nightclub experience is a sum total of
satisfactions with the individual elements or attributes of all the products and services that
make up the experience. Jiang Y. & Wang C. L., (2006) argue that affect will have different
impacts on consumers' quality evaluation and satisfaction, depending on the hedonic or
utilitarian products/services. On Hedonic products/services the feeling of pleasure may have
a positive influence on the evaluation of whether the service meets certain standards or
whether it has the ability to satisfy the needs. Therefore, feelings and emotions, which will
6
8/3/2019 Night Club Management Journall
8/21
Kostas E. Sillignakis
www.sillignakis.com
give pleasure to Nightclubs customers, will have a critical role to their overall satisfaction
and experience.
5.0 PRODUCT & SERVICE ATTRIBUTES IN A NIGHTCLUB EXPERIENCE
There is no uniformity of opinion among marketing experts as to the classification of the
elements in service encounters. Reuland et al. (1985:142) suggest that hospitality services
consist of a harmonious mixture of three elements: the material product in a narrow sense
which in the case of a Nightclub is the food and beverages; the behaviour and attitude of
the employees who are responsible for hosting the guest, serving the meal and beverages
and who come in direct contact with the guests, and the environment, such as the building,
the layout, the furnishing, the lighting and the sound quality in the Nightclub. On Table 2.0
we have identified all products and services attributes which may define a quality Nightclub
experience. Those attributes considered being the critical success factors of Nightclub
operation and we will now attempt to find ways measure customer satisfaction in nightclubs
based on those values.
6.0 MEASUREMENT OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Perhaps the primary reason for taking the time to measure customer satisfaction is to collect
information, either regarding what customers say that needs to be done differently or to
assess how well an organization is currently meeting its customer needs (Vavra, 1997:28). A
secondary, but no less important function of customer satisfaction measurement in nightclub
enterprises, is that by surveying customers, an organization is demonstrating its interest in
communicating with its customers; finding out their needs, pleasures, displeasures and
overall well-being (Pizam & Ellis, 1999). Measurement is a key principle to managing
processes with the need to identify trends, assess stability, determine whether customer
requirements are actually met and drive improvement (Armistead & Machin, 1997). There
7
8/3/2019 Night Club Management Journall
9/21
Kostas E. Sillignakis
www.sillignakis.com
are several ways to assess the quality of services and customer satisfaction through
subjective, or soft, measures of quality, which focus on perceptions and attitudes of the
customer rather than more concrete objective criteria. These soft measures include
customer satisfaction surveys and questionnaires to determine customer attitudes and
perceptions of the quality of the service they are receiving (Hayes, 1997:2). Furthermore, the
soft measurement systems may use information gathered by direct feedback from the
customer, or even measure the complaints and compliments in the organisation. Financial
data such as profit margins, turnover or venue capacity may be used as an indicator of guest
satisfaction but that would be risky as this kind of information could be manipulated and
misinterpreted. Benchmarks against the competitors also could be used as a comparison
and identification of customer satisfaction.
On Breeze case study, soft measurement systems of customer satisfaction had been used.
Direct feedback from customer by front line employees, management and shareholders,
have been consistently gathered and analysed. Furthermore, customer complaints and
compliments was all reported and noted to the management board for further analysis.
Financial ratios and drop of venue capacity was the indicators, alerted shareholders and that
was the main reason of hiring a new General Manager.
The report would suggest that a planned and structured customer survey using the main
attributes identified in Table 2.0 would be a very efficient and helpful tool for managerial
decisions at that time. Something that unfortunately didnt happened due to other priorities.
Nevertheless, by using all the other soft measurement methods mentioned above, the
management came up with results identifying the main drawbacks, challenges and issues,
believed to be the reason of customer dissatisfaction. The main attributes of customer
dissatisfaction referred to two main categories:
i) Material Product: The main issues were food & beverage consistency with
regards mainly on food appearance, flavor and incorrect temperatures.
ii) Behavior & Attitude of employees: The main problems related with employees
behavior and attitude was lack of courtesy, professionalism, promptness and
8
8/3/2019 Night Club Management Journall
10/21
Kostas E. Sillignakis
www.sillignakis.com
knowledge. Inefficiency of speed and quality of service had been identified, as
well.
There is a logical explanation for this all. There were two key positions in the whole
operation that related to the business underperformance. The previous General Manager,
had an attitude problem himself, and therefore he was in a continual conflict with the
employees. Thus, has as a result, the qualified and experienced employees who were able
to find another job easily they all left. As a result, only the unqualified and inexperienced
employees had been left on the operation. The remaining employees didnt have the
knowledge, or experience to satisfy customers needs and requests. The other person
responsible for the existing situation was the Executive Chef. He had attitude problems as
well, and he used to get in conflict with all kitchen staff and the waiters interacted with
Kitchen. This situation had forced employees to create subgroups and subcultures within the
operation, creating a huge organizational problem. There were incidents, employees
physically fighting each other or arguing and shouting in front of the customers. The
organization had been left with no team spirit, no motivation, no vision and objectives, no
support and guidelines. In such an organization it is not difficult to understand that most
operational issues identified as customers dissatisfaction attributes was highly interlinked to
the organizational chaos of the enterprise. Immediate action and reconsideration of business
strategy needed in order to put the business back in track.
7.0 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SIX SIGMA
Quality management has long been established as an important strategy for achieving
competitive advantage. Traditional quality initiatives such as statistical quality control, zero
defects, and total quality management have been key initiatives for many years. Six sigma
can be considered as a recent quality improvement initiative that has gained popularity and
acceptance in many industries across the globe (Jiju et al, 2005) Six sigma is a powerful
business strategy that yields a dramatic reduction in defects, errors, or mistakes in service
processes (Antony, 2005). It is a powerful methodology developed to accelerate improvement

in service quality by focusing relentlessly on reducing process variation and eliminating non-
value added steps or tasks (Kwak and Anbari, 2006). Improved processes lead to improved
customer satisfaction, increased productivity, increased market share, business profitability,
and so on. Six sigma provides managers with the strategy methodology, infrastructure, tools
and techniques to change the way businesses are run (Antony and Banuelas, 2002).
Service-oriented businesses adopting Six Sigma business strategy will have the following
benefits:
improved cross-functional teamwork across the entire organisation;
transformation of organizational culture from fire-fighting mode to fire-prevention
mode;
increased employee morale;
reduced number of non-value added steps in critical business processes through
systematic elimination, leading to faster delivery of service;
reduced cost of poor quality (COPQ) (costs associated with late delivery, customer
complaints, costs associated with misdirected problem solving, etc.);
increased awareness of various problem solving tools and techniques, leading to
greater job satisfaction for employees;
improved consistency level of service through systematic reduction of variability in
processes; and
effective management decisions due to reliance on data and facts rather than
assumptions and gut-feelings.
There are two main aspects of the six sigma strategy that are not emphasised in other
business improvement methodologies and total quality management (TQM), and thus Six
Sigma framework has been chosen in order to create an action plan for Breeze nightclub,
which will add value to the business and create a competitive advantage. First, six sigma
has been very successful in integrating both human aspects (culture change, training,
10

customer focus, etc. which are the main issues of customer dissatisfaction in Breeze case)
and process aspects (process stability, variation reduction, capability, etc.) of continuous
improvement. Second, six sigma methodology (define-measure-analyse-measure-control or
DMAIC for short) links the tools and techniques in a sequential manner (Jiju et al, 2005).
8.0 APPLICATIONS OF SIX SIGMA TO BREEZE CASE ACTION PLAN
Step 1:Management commitment(Coronado and Antony, 2002; Goh, 2002). Almost all the
literature reviewed agrees that this factor is a must for successful six sigma implementation.
This has to be top-down rather than initiated by a particular department or from the ground
(Goh, 2002). Therefore, the management board and the shareholders should restructure the
business organisation and they are responsible for change in attitude of individual
employees. Moreover, in Breeze case all dysfunctional or problematic employees should
be identified and quarantined or replaced.
Step 2:Education and training(Johnson and Swisher, 2003; Coronado and Antony, 2002; Goh,
2002). Education and training help people understand the fundamentals, tools, and
techniques of six sigma. Customer service training and Team building seminars, are the
main priorities for Breeze case. Thereafter, technical skills trainings (wine training,
mixology, service sequence, etc.) would be very useful from Breeze employees.
Step 3: Cultural change (Caulcutt, 2001). Six sigma is considered a breakthrough
management strategy and it involves the adjustment of a firm's values and culture. In some
cases, substantial change to an organization's structure and infrastructure needs to take
place (Coronado and Antony, 2002). As we have already mentioned Breeze nightclub has
major cultural issues. Attitude and behaviour of employees need to be adjusted and aligned
to the overall business strategy. The two previus steps will be critical to the efficient change
of organisation culture.

Step 4:Customer focus(Coronado and Antony, 2002; Goh, 2002). Customer focus is one of
the major requirements in applying six sigma. This is emphasized in terms of critical to
quality characteristics. Six sigma is highly sensitive to requirements for customer satisfaction
(Goh, 2002). Therefore, the whole organisation should become more customer driven. All
functions and processes should be redesigned in order to be more focused onto customer
satisfaction. Decentralisation and employee empowerment would also help the nightclub
business to be more flexible and more customer focused.
Step 5: Measurement of Customer satisfaction (Sehwall and DeYong, 2003). A consistent
system of customer satisfaction measurement should be developed. A customer
questionnaire should be developed and distributed in such a way that the organisation will
have official analysed customer feedback at least once per month. A report should be
prepared by the management boeard in order to be presented at the general staff meeting
once per month. Thus, everyone in organisation will be aware about their performance.
Step 6: Financial Benefits: Financial benefits as a measure of achievement makes it easily
understandable for employees and help them to relate to six sigma project outcome (Goh,
2002). Financial results should be communicated with employees probably at the general
staff meeting once per month. It would be wise, management board to develop a reward
programme linked to organisation performance in order to motive and reward staff efforts.
Step 7: Re-engineering of functions and processes. A very critical step of operational
success, is for the management to identify processes that are defective and even replace,
simplify or develop them. As we explained on step 4, all re-designed processes should
customer focused.
9.0 LIMITATIONS AND DRAWBACKS
Even though, Six Sigma is a powerful framework for business transformation, it has its
limitations, as well. Nightclub organisations are complex operations with processes and sub

processes which is difficult to be standardized. Therefore, management and employees
should always be ready to use their creative thinking techniques and to be flexible with their
decisions. Training and development of employees is a huge investment of money and time,
which if not managed efficiently may result in total losses of resources. Due to nature of the
business, nightclubs recruitment usually consisted by low level educational background
employees. Therefore, it may be difficult for some of them to follow complex procedures and
functions.
CONCLUSION
Late entertainment venues, such as nightclubs, are very complex operations with multistage
functions and processes. The nature of business, due to the operational hours, the
consumption of alcohol and other substances, the clientele quality and employees skills,
could become a very difficult operation to manage. On the other hand competition is high,
and because it is an industry that follows trends, it is very risky and unstable. Therefore,
multi talented managers needed in order to plan and design processes, implement, monitor,
and evaluate them, and at the end of the day to be successful. Total quality models such as
Six Sigma, if used in the nightclub industry may add value to the business and create a
competitive advantage. And this is because, there are not many nightclub operations using
such sophisticated techniques and procedures. Late entertainment venues operations,
continuously evolving and changing trying to follow trends of music, fashion, alcohol, leisure
preferences, etc. making the industry, one of the most challenging fields of academia
research.
