Phase Four - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT This final phase focuses on the development of the business infrastructure. The first task is to define the particulars of the Spa operation‹ mapping out, in very specific terms, both the client experience and the staff requirements. Once this information is in place, operation manuals are created, which include the Personnel Manual, the Front Desk Manual, Treatment Protocols and Collaterals Manual. The owner is provided with assistance in recruiting the Spa director and staff. Phase Three culminates in the creation a 3-4 week pre-opening training program‹one in which a Lexi Design staff will be on-site for a minimum of seven days‹to oversee all instruction and implement all systems.
