Here’s a detailed root cause analysis (RCA) for common issues in an internet café:

Problem Identification

Let’s consider a few common issues:

1. Frequent Network Downtime


2. Low Customer Retention
3. High Equipment Malfunction Rate
4. Inconsistent Customer Service Quality

Root Cause Analysis Steps

1. Frequent Network Downtime

 Gather Data: Log network outages, customer complaints, and performance metrics.
 Possible Causes:
o ISP Issues: Unreliable service from the internet provider.
o Insufficient Bandwidth: Too many users for the current plan.
o Hardware Problems: Faulty routers or switches.
 Solutions:
o Upgrade internet plan or switch ISPs.
o Invest in better network hardware.
o Implement a redundancy plan (backup connection).

2. Low Customer Retention

 Gather Data: Analyze customer visit frequency, feedback, and exit surveys.
 Possible Causes:
o Poor Customer Experience: Unfriendly staff, slow service.
o Lack of Amenities: Inadequate seating, lack of refreshments.
o Competitor Services: Better offerings from nearby cafés.
 Solutions:
o Train staff in customer service skills.
o Improve the café environment (comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi).
o Introduce loyalty programs or promotions.

3. High Equipment Malfunction Rate

 Gather Data: Track equipment failures, maintenance records, and user complaints.
 Possible Causes:
o Neglect in Maintenance: Infrequent servicing of computers and peripherals.
o Outdated Hardware: Using older models that can’t handle current demands.
o Improper Usage: Users misusing equipment.
 Solutions:
o Establish a regular maintenance schedule.
o Upgrade to newer models.
o Provide usage guidelines to customers.

4. Inconsistent Customer Service Quality

 Gather Data: Customer satisfaction surveys, staff performance reviews.


 Possible Causes:
o Staff Training Gaps: Insufficient training leading to inconsistent service.
o High Turnover Rate: New staff may not be fully trained.
o Work Environment: Stressful conditions can affect service quality.
 Solutions:
o Implement a comprehensive training program.
o Create a positive work environment to reduce turnover.
o Regularly review and provide feedback to staff.

Implementation and Monitoring

 Set Priorities: Focus on issues with the greatest impact on customer experience and
business performance.
 Assign Responsibilities: Designate team members to lead each improvement area.
 Monitor Outcomes: After implementing changes, track metrics such as customer
retention rates, frequency of equipment failures, and network performance to evaluate
effectiveness.

Continuous Improvement

 Regularly revisit the analysis process to identify new problems and opportunities for
enhancement, ensuring the café remains competitive and customer-focused.
