white eagle stadium
Scenario
You are about to recruit staff for positions in a large sporting complex, White Eagle Stadium. The complex hosts national sporting events most weekends throughout the year, and one-off events such as international sporting events, concerts and festivals.
The venue has fast-food outlets scattered around the main and upper concourse, a number of bars and two sit-down restaurant-style dining areas.
All catering staff must be available for shifts on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday as these are the busiest periods for the stadium. Shifts vary throughout the day depending on the start and finish times of events. Most sporting events are scheduled during the afternoon or evening with one-off events often held in the evening.
It is six weeks before the start of the winter sports season. The venue employs the majority of their staff for the rest of the year at this time. You have one month to complete the recruitment process as the induction program is scheduled to start two weeks before the first match.
