Main aims and functions of the Organisation (E1)

The organisation that I have chosen for this report is the Buckingham Bingo. The reason that I have chosen this organisation is because I work there and it also has many ICT provisions. The ICT provisions vary from huge databases to computerised tills to huge spreadsheets.

The main function of this organisation is basically a gambling organisation. The aim of the organisation is to make as much money as it possibly can. The bingo hall it’s self allows member’s of the bingo to basically come in and play bingo, the organisation then allows the customer’s to gamble, eat, drink and most of all socialise with all the other bingo members. The aim of the organisation is to make money, so the hall has many features to make money and achieve the main aim of the organisation.

These features include: -

  • Before the customer enters the hall they have to pay an entrance fee of 80 pence.
  • If the member wants to park their car in the bingo’s secure car park they have to pay a fee of £5.
  • Fruit Machines, which allow the customer’s to gamble.
  • A bingo hall which allows the customer’s to play traditional bingo (played in a bingo book.) and cash bingo (which is played on electronic boards, this is also all controlled by computer.).
  • A buffet, which allows customer’s to purchase food.
  • A bar which allows customers to consume alcohol and soft drinks.

The features shown above is just a short list of how the organisation meet’s its aim and make’s money.
