Bio

Hi there, my name is Binh and currently I'm a Fourth year Accounting and International Relations undergraduate at the University of Calgary, looking to gain substantial knowledge, experience, as well as business and research opportunities alike in both respective fields. In addition to being a full-time student, I'm also helping out with my family business - Ami Tea & Sub as its marketing coordinator.

I oversee most of my brand's digital transformation, including creating an in-house team that consists of my high school friends in early 2022 to handle content creation for our Instagram and Facebook page. We're currently looking to expand our team. If you're someone who has passion bubble tea and filming fun videos, don't hesitate reaching out and apply to our latest job postings. By working with us, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the innerworkings of a F&B restaurant, in addition to partake directly in our brand's growth.

Why not start your 2023 with Ami Tea & Sub?

AMT-P&P1G RFP: UX/UI Design for Comprehensive Operations Handbook (COH)

The AMT-P&P1G Policy Development Project Group, as part of the Ami Tea & Sub 2024-2025 Pivot & Propel (P&P) Initiative, is dedicated to creating a Comprehensive Operations Handbook (COH) that encompasses new policy directives across various facets of Ami Tea & Sub's core business. This includes, but is not limited to, human resources, customer engagement, and staff training guidance. A comprehensive training document is of utmost importance for an F&B chain like Ami Tea & Sub for several reasons: Uniformity and Consistency: The COH ensures that all Ami Tea & Sub employees, regardless of their role or location within the organization, have access to standardized policies and procedures. This promotes consistency in task execution, leading to improved operational efficiency and an enhanced customer experience. Compliance and Risk Mitigation: Given the constantly evolving regulatory landscape, strict adherence to compliance standards is essential. The COH serves as a reference point to ensure that our business operations align with legal requirements, thereby reducing the risk of legal issues and potential liabilities. Streamlined Onboarding and Training: A well-documented COH simplifies the onboarding process for new Ami Tea & Sub employees. It provides a structured framework for their training, enabling them to quickly become productive team members. This, in turn, reduces the time and resources required for training, benefiting both our employees and the company. What is its strategic implications?   The implementation of a Comprehensive Operations Handbook for Ami Tea & Sub is pivotal in achieving standardization and quality control across all franchise locations. This uniformity is crucial in maintaining product and service quality, which directly impacts brand reputation and customer loyalty in the competitive F&B sector. The handbook also streamlines employee training and onboarding processes, ensuring a consistent and efficient operational approach across the franchise network.   From a legal and operational perspective, the handbook plays a key role in ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing legal risks associated with labor practices. It serves as a clear reference for handling HR-related matters, disputes, and disciplinary actions. Additionally, it includes customer engagement strategies that guide franchises in delivering a uniform customer experience, fostering brand identity, and enhancing customer satisfaction.   The handbook not only maintains operational consistency but also supports innovation and adaptation to local market needs. It provides a framework for performance measurement and improvement, fostering a culture of continual enhancement. Furthermore, it aids in building a unified organizational culture, crucial for employee engagement, and supports scalability and growth, making it an essential tool for both current operations and future expansions of Ami Tea & Sub.   Goals that this project supports:   Primary Goals Goal 1 – Standardization and Quality Control: Ensuring franchise-wide compliance to uniform standards for product and service quality, which is essential to maintain the brand’s reputation and customer satisfaction. Goal 2 – Training and Operational Efficiency: Streamlining the process of training and onboarding new employees across the franchising system, leading to uniformity in skills, knowledge, and operational practices. Goal 3 – Legal Compliance and Risk Management: Providing clear policies on human resources to comply with local employment laws and regulations, which minimizes legal risks and ensures proper handling of labor-related issues.   Secondary Goals Goal 4 – Customer Engagement and Satisfaction: To build customer loyalty and brand identity through standardized training and engagement procedures.  Goal 5 – Innovation and Market Adaptation: To create favorable conditions that allow for adaptation to local market preferences/new product introduction. Goal 6 – Organizational Culture and Employee Engagement: To build a unified organizational culture across franchises, which helps to reinforce engagement and promote talent retention.   What areas will be covered? There are four primary areas covered under AMT-P&P1G:   Product Knowledge and Preparation: This section covers detailed information about all menu items, including bubble tea and Vietnamese street food. It should include recipes, ingredient lists, preparation methods, and presentation guidelines. Understanding the unique selling points of each product, along with allergen information and potential dietary restrictions, is crucial for staff to effectively inform and serve customers. Customer Service and Engagement: Training in customer service is vital for creating a positive dining experience. This area focuses on teaching staff how to interact with customers, manage orders, handle complaints, and maintain high standards of service. It also includes training on the use of Point of Sale (POS) systems, order taking procedures, and understanding customer preferences. Health, Safety, and Hygiene Protocols: This critical area covers all aspects of food safety, personal hygiene, and workplace safety. It includes training on proper food handling, storage, and preparation practices, as well as adherence to local health and safety regulations. Staff should be familiar with sanitation procedures, emergency protocols, and the importance of maintaining a clean and safe dining and kitchen environment. Operational Procedures and Workplace Ethics: This section deals with the day-to-day operations of the restaurant, including opening and closing procedures, inventory management, and basic administrative tasks. Training in workplace ethics is also essential, covering topics like teamwork, professional conduct, handling of financial transactions, and respect for diversity in the workplace.

AMT-BDR3 RFP Customer Reviews Analysis

The AMT-BDR3 Customer Review Analysis project, as part of the Ami Tea & Sub 2024-2025 Business Development Roadmap (BDR) Initiative, seeks to leverage advanced data analytics to enhance customer experience and business performance. This project focuses on developing a PowerBI-driven customer sentiment dashboard to accurately measure customer preferences and track feedback across various platforms. Advantages of a Customer Review dashboard include: Enhanced Customer Experience Insight, where PowerBI utilization would aggregate and analyze reviews from multiple sources, including social media and online platforms to develop an intuitive dashboard that can capture sentiments, preferences, and dissatisfaction points. Data-Driven Operational Improvements, which will highlight key areas that need improvement, such as menu items, service speed, or ambiance. This can create momentum for management to pursue alternative strategies in customer engagement or refine current training standards. Strategic Business Decision-making, which aims to provide actionable insights to drive strategic decision-making. This includes menu optimization, marketing strategies, and potential aeras for expansion or renovation.   What is its strategic implications?   The strategic implications of the AMT-BDR3 Customer Review Analysis project for Ami Tea & Sub are multifaceted, especially when considering the disparity in customer preferences and performance across different locations, such as the contrast between Inglewood/Chinatown and mom n' pop-owned stores like Heritage or St. John. This project's focus on developing a PowerBI-driven dashboard to analyze customer sentiment and feedback is not just about harnessing data; it's about understanding the underlying factors contributing to these inconsistencies.   Firstly, the analysis may reveal gaps in staff training or management practices at underperforming locations. The difference in staff numbers and the consequent variation in customer experience underscore the need for a standardized training protocol and quality control measures across all franchisees. For a franchisor like Ami Tea & Sub, ensuring consistency in customer experience is paramount. It's not just about maintaining the brand's reputation; it's also about delivering the promise of quality and service that customers expect from a franchised establishment, regardless of its location.   Furthermore, the insights gained from this project will enable Ami Tea & Sub to align its operational strategies with the dynamic and location-specific customer preferences. This is crucial in tailoring menu offerings, marketing efforts, and overall customer engagement strategies to meet the unique demands of each locale. By understanding the nuances of different market segments, Ami Tea & Sub can optimize its operations to cater effectively to diverse customer bases.   Additionally, the project aligns with best practices identified in the DTTP Competitive Analysis, which highlights that major F&B chains are increasingly investing in data analytics. This not only validates the approach but also sets a foundation for Ami Tea & Sub to explore and integrate advanced data analytics into its business model. By doing so, Ami Tea & Sub is not merely catching up with industry standards but is also positioning itself to proactively leverage data for strategic decision-making, future-proofing the business in a highly competitive market.   Goals that this project supports: Primary Goals Standardization of Training and Quality Control: Implement a comprehensive training program across all Ami Tea & Sub locations, focusing on service quality and operational efficiency, to address inconsistencies and elevate customer experience, especially in underperforming areas. Location-specific Operational Optimization: Tailor operations and menus at each customer sentiment to boost satisfaction and performance, particularly in locations currently lagging behind in customer preferences.   Immediate Data Integration and Analysis Capability Enhancement: Rapidly deploy a user-friendly PowerBI dashboard for real-time customer feedback analysis, enabling quick operational decisions. Secondary Goals Brand Consistency and Reputation: Enhance Ami Tea & Sub’s brand reputation for quality and consistency through long-term customer feedback monitoring ad continuous service improvement. Strategic Business Expansion and Innovation: Utilize customer data insights for market expansion, new products innovation, and service enhancement. Industry Leadership in Data-Driven Decision-Making: Position Ami Tea & Sub as an emerging industry leader in data analytics within the Vietnamese F&B sector, continually investing in advanced tools and fostering a culture of evidence-based decision-making.   What areas will be covered? The AMT-BDR3 Customer Analysis Project covers the following four areas: Data Acquisition and Cleanup: involving the systematic collection of customer feedback data from various sources such as social media, online review platforms, and in-store feedback forms. Potential tasks include: establishing data collection protocols, setting up automated data scraping tools if necessary, and performing data cleaning and preprocessing to ensure accuracy of data before the analysis. Development of PowerBI Dashboard: this is the core of the project, which is intended to provide intuitive and insightful visualization of customer feedback data based on the appropriate user level. Potential tasks include: designing the dashboard layout, configuring data import and visualization tools, and ensuring that the dashboard is user-friendly and can display real-time data effectively. Data Manipulation and R-Programming Integration: deals with the integration of advanced data analysis techniques, particularly R for sentiment analysis, to glean deeper insights from customer feedback data. Potential tasks may include writing R scripts for sentiment analysis, manipulating and transforming data to suit the analysis needs, and integrating R scripts with PowerBI for seamless flow of processed data. End-user Training and Feedback (Deck Development): Final stage is crucial for ensuring that the insights derived from the dashboard are actionable and accessible to decision-makers within Ami Tea & Sub. This process may entail developing simplified training materials for end-users.
