Business Studies Reflection

Over this term of Business studies, we organised a business that could sell food to our school community. I think that it went really well and I enjoyed doing this part of the business. We had to write a reflection on how we thought the day went. Here is my reflection:

Personally, I think our group worked extremely well together which really helped us as that meant there wasn’t any drama between us. I think that our group did a good job with organising our business plan and managing our time to make sure that everything was completed in a reasonable amount of time. Actually selling our product went good as we sold all of our burritos and ended up making $123.5 which surprised me. 

I think that advertising could have been done earlier as it would have given people more aware that we were selling burritos, even though we sold out I think it would have given it more publicity within the school. Our group could have improved with the organisation of our shopping as we completely forgot some products we needed and purchased extra things than we needed (such as too much cheese). The wrapping of our burritos to start with could have been more efficient as it took a lot of our serving time up. 

Next time I would make a time management plan for the day so we wouldn’t be rushed and stressed on the day. If we did something like this again I would measure our quantities out more as in the end, we had too much cheese and taco seasoning. I would also prepare a proper recipe as our group justed winged it a hoped for the best.
