Chapter 1 Introduction
expectations are thought to be mainly focused on finding the lowest prices. Marketing tends to be mixed with communication and has nothing to do but advertises the low price image of the retail brand. But the wide increase of the retail sector, which was the base of its development, is now over and retail companies need to change their strategy, notably by adapting to the customers behaviour evolution and expectations. Rather than attracting new customers, it is now getting more and more important to secure the customers loyalty and to increase the share of wallet. A sharpen competition between retail brands prompts the retail companies to pay more attention to their customers expectations. Thanks to ICT and to some success experienced by foreign retail companies (Wall Mart, Tesco), the major companies of the sector are now interested in increasing the marketing aspect of their practice to create new strategical positions, and even to create new economic customer-oriented models. This shift started in the 1990s. It is interesting to see which choices, both theoretical and empirical, were made to acquire these new skills and know-how, a mix of a complex technical process and of a high qualification. This survey means to study the way big retail companies have implemented this change of strategy.

Lavazza traces its origins back to 1895, when Luigi Lavazza purchased a little grocery store, Paissa Olivero, in the old commercial section of Turin for 26,000 Italian Lire, about US$ 20. In the early 1900's, he invented the concept of the blend - a complex art of mixing together coffee of different origins to obtain a distinctive taste and harmonious flavour in the cup. Before the turn of the century, the name Lavazza evolved into an international powerhouse and the unofficial ambassador of Italy, being synonymous with all things Italian - creativity, art, passion and of course, espresso. The First outlet in India of Barista Lavazza was established in February 200 in Basantlok, New Delhi. Barista Lavazza is noted as a Pioneer of Indian caf culture. The Barista Lavazza chain of expresso bars delivers a truly Italian coffee experience in warm, friendly and relaxed environment. It aims to provide a comfortable place for people to unwind over interesting conversations and a cup of coffee. Barista Lavazza consists of young adults, who is exposed to global lifestyles and appreciate the authentic flavors and tastes coffee. At last count, the Barista Coffee Company Limited has over 200 Barista Lavazza Expresso Bars and Barista Lavazza Crmes in over 30 cities across India. Lavazza, which also operates coffee vending firn Fresh and Honest, opened a new plant in Andhara Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The company recently tied up with private carrier Jet Airways for the JetPrivilege programme, and Shivshankar said the deal will prove beneficial for the coffee chain.

Baristas Coffee Company is making a bet that even if you prefer your coffee ice; you'll appreciate a bit of hotness in your coffee shop experience. The growing chain of drive-thru cafes, based out of Seattle, Wash., has been described as a cross between Hooters and Starbucks. And true to that moniker, it is staffed only by "attractive female baristas" wearing "a variety of appealing costumed-themed attire" -- think skimpy French maid uniforms and lingerie bedecked with angel's wings. The original store opened in 1996. The 15 years since then may not have brought growth comparable to Five Guys or Starbucks, but they've still been good to the company; it now operates a total of seven stores in Washington and Texas. Baristas has also inked deals with local development companies to open several more outposts in New Jersey, Arizona and in the Tampa area. That said, Baristas has had its fair share of hiccups along the way. In September, federal officials accused the company of failing to pay its workers as much as they were due. The investigation is ongoing, and is expected to lead to a jury trial in 2013. And the "espresso" business has historically faced an uphill battle across the country. The topless Vietnamese coffee shops of San Jose, Calif. have been fighting back and forth with city for years. One high profile nude coffee shop in Maine was burned to the ground in a brutal arson. And Seattle-based drive-thru chain Grab-n-Go, probably closest analogue to Baristas, found itself embroiled in charges of prostitution. But Baristas has a secret weapon: reality TV. Just the other day, the company announced that it would hold open casting calls (for women between the ages of 18 and 25, of course) for a new reality TV it's developing based on its service workers. They'll be housed in a domicile called the "Coffee Castle" during filming. There's nothing more American than coffee, restaurants and reality TV.

Conclusions
Family background plays an important role with the satisfaction level and Educational background also does not affect employees satisfaction. Most of the employees expect high Growth followed by good learning opportunities for the future and handsome money or compensation from the organization. Very less number of employees actually expects a part time job in Barista. Most of the employees do not expect any brand privilege while working in Barista. The company should do internal marketing to increase the brand awareness among the employees.
Barista is planning to increase the employee capacity to 366 numbers. But it should be more in order to maintain the work load.
Transformation percentage varies from 22.5 to 42.4 percentages which mean 32.46 percentages, which is not a bad score.
Quality of Coffee at Barista is not significantly different from its competitors, according to the perception of people.
Recommendations In actual the company should hire 250 employees more from the present. But as employees are less motivated by the high work load and also most of the employees are satisfied with the present work load, the Company may hire less number of employees. More Focus should be given to Dehradun, Delhi and Punjab as these stores are delivering more than 80 percentage of value.
Employees who want to leave the company, they are totally dissatisfied due to growth, salary and incentive. Also the employees who are more satisfied with work load and location want to leave the company. As well as employee with higher family income and high growth and Salary Expectation want to leave the company. The employee iteration rate could be minimized by increasing one or more factors among the Growth, Salary and Incentive at the same time.
The Company should do internal marketing to increase the brand awareness among the employees. And also to stand over the employees expectation, the company should provide an open learning environment for every employee.
The Scope of the Barista is very high and it needs to do very good marketing to utilize this scope.
Equal number of employees actually would do one of the three things if they were not working in Barista. Simple word all three options are equal prioritized.
