EVALUATION

The Loqui’s Place is a dream place of a music lovers because it has a retro

style of our music bands, like retro music. You can say that the loqui’s is a

place that gives you a chill and relaxing ambiance and music. It may not the

high price restaurant, it’s also a cheap price of food and drinks that also

students can afford. For us researchers we feel the great hospitality in that

place it feels like home that you can do whatever you want and think the good

and gold old days of your memories. We just want to hang out there with

good old friends and share the great memories with them. But in some part

the loqui’s has no precautionary, blue prints of fire exit map, fire extinguisher

in dining area. Kitchen is strictly off limit the owner says only the kitchen has a
 RISK MANAGEMENT AS APPLIED TO SAFETY,
SECURITY AND SANITATION
fire equipment. The risk management plan of loqui’s is disappointed for us

because you can’t feel your safety when you enter that place.

CONCLUSION

This research is to give a solution in the other failure of Loqui’s Place in their Risk

Management Plan. This resto bar is a dream place of the other because in it’s

chill and relaxing vibe from a retro style of it. This research conduct some

comparing in the other restaurant that has a proper risk management plan to help

the loqui’s give a solution. The owner of the restaurant is approachable in terms

of his customer complaints, inquiries or other matter that related in his business.

RECOMMENDATION

After a thorough analysis of the data, the following recommendations are hereby

made:

1. Although the establishment shows a lot of potential in terms of serving

their customer good food and giving them a great place to hangout, the

establishments lacks signage for precautionary purposes. Although they

have some, it wasn’t enough to tell their customers or remind their

customers what to do or where to go during an emergency. An emergency

map is a great example of telling the customers where to go without even

telling them in a verbal manner.

 RISK MANAGEMENT AS APPLIED TO SAFETY,
SECURITY AND SANITATION

2. Fire extinguishers are one of the most useful emergency equipment,

although the establishment has it there are no fire extinguishers at the

dining area. The establishment should include the whole business area

regarding of putting emergency equipment that people can see it and be

easily accessible when a fire started inside the establishment.

3. The management should hire at least one standby security in case of

sudden or unforeseen disturbances like the robbery and fight of the

customers.

4. The establishment has 2 extinguishers although it is not properly place

which could damage the fire extinguishers. According to Jeffrey Dalto, to

prevent fire extinguishers from being moved or damaged, they should be

mounted on brackets or in wall cabinets with the carrying handle placed 3-

1/2 to 5 feet above the floor. Larger fire extinguishers need to be mounted

at lower heights with the carrying handle about 3 feet from the floor.
