Greetings from the home of the Menara Condong ... Teluk Intan!

Once again, against all odds, we pulled off a Grander-than-Grand Opening for Teluk Intan DT today !

The day was so packed with activities that it was just a fun-tastic,carnival-like memorable event! With a coloring contest that saw very good response, cultural dances, kids' performances, taekwondo kids (would you believe they are SO cute!), lion dance, kompang, urumi (that's the Indian drums) and Chinese 24-drums .... it was a truly muhibbah community happening!

Special thanks to my Northern Dream Team which turned up to support,have fun and makan-makan as usual.

Not forgetting the management team of this store under the capable leadership of D'zul,Safna and Fuad - thanks for the thorough planning and Perfect 10 Execution. Store operations have also shown improvement since our opening in Dec 08 when all our crew were rookies. This was evident from the much smoother shift preparation,planning and execution throughout the day - Well Done!

Thank you Jeffrey,May Yin,David,Andrew,KC, Roy, Freddie, Murali, Daniel OC,Sarala,Tarita and Tamizi for joining us on this happy occasion.

Last but definitely not least, this grand event with such pomp and grandeur would not have been possible without Kartina's dedication,planning and execution.

If you are ever headed north, you are welcome to visit us any time !

Message from Jeffrey

Hi Melanie, Teluk Intan and The Northern Team,

Once again, Congratulations to a Successful Grand Opening of Teluk Intan. We had a Great Time in this wonderful event and I am very pleased and proud of all your Team's hard work and effort.

It is also a great eye opener for some of the OMs and OCs who has taken time to be part of your Grand Opening. I am sure they have witnessed one of the Best Grand Opening and seeing is believing. Let's keep the spirits of sharing Best Practices among us and I am proud to be part of this wonderful team!

I am also very impressed with your 9 pieces of luminous directional signs starting from the exit of North South Highway of Bidur to Teluk Intan store. I am sure this will help those potential customers who have yet visited our Teluk Intan store to savior our Big Mac. Great job! This I am sure our all OMs and OCs have taken note.

By the way, attached is a couple of picture taken and wishing Teluk Intan More GCs, More Sales and Higher Profits!

Cheers and Thank You All

JT

The Catch Nite at Cafe Laurel

This nice Cafe Laurel is at Evergreen Hotel, Penang

You are looking at the zero CSO (or almost zero haha) champions !

Sharks' fin soup,ok ? Don't pray-pray ;)

He wants to be Perak M.B but it seems that Joe also wants it !

As for these 2, don't know lah ... every makan also got this type of perangai!

Well, being the totally creative and fun group that we are, when we had the opportunity to spend Eng Chew and Hong Chin's CSO prize money, what else did we think of but ...... M-A-K-A-N lar ....... Can you tell that it is our favourite pastime ?!

After a day of 'fasting' due to McVL, we all ate like there is no tomorrow !!! In fact, until the place started pre-closing ... then lights dimmed ... then the sweeping started .... and we were still chatting and laughing !

I wanted to talk about CSO but Eng Chew said shhh, better don't ! If you have the chance, do check out Mazlina's canggih handphone and Sam's camera ! Puts the OCs' phones to shame la ;)

Till the next feast, then ! Watch out for my next posting on Q2's Zero CSO Challenge !

CLOC - El's & Azemah's Mini Markets

RACE for No1 - Another Perfect 10 execution! As we all know, PEOPLE are our key assets ... No PEOPLE, No FOOD, No SERVICE!

Recently, on 2/2 - 3/2/09, Elena and Azemah's mini markets successfully conducted a CLOC. (Crew Leader Operations Course). This training event was attended by 27 CLs from mainland, Taiping, Sg Petani and also from as far as Langkawi.

BACK to BASICS - The topics covered were basics such as Communication, Training, Service, Food Safety, MFY & VCMS, Quality Control & Sanitation, Zonal Responsibility and Teamwork.

All our CLs were supportive and contributed till end of the class. Our best success was that all students passed the FINAL EXAM with high passing marks ... the highest score being 98%.

Congratulations to :-
