Kudlers Fines Foods has three location throughout California, La Joella, Del Mar, and Encicitas and is looking to start a fourth store in Carlsbad, California.
As KFF strive to be successful and to continue grow the management structure has remained the same. Kathy is primary operations manager for all three stores, she is also the overseer of purchasing functions, and also keeps track of inventory at all locations, this is because there is no purchasing department at any of the location even though there is a standard purchasing procedure. I recommended that KFF hires five new employees, one purchasing manager and four purchasing clerks; one clerk for each store.
