The newspaper describes how businesses that are starting to fail are trying to think of creative ideas to boost their sales, and it specifically praises Munchy's restaurant for having "Quiet Hours" which may boost sales in adults who stray away from noisy restaurants. This means that more businesses would start to do something similar to this. This matters to the teens being excluded from eating at the restaurant at certain times. This also matters to the business owner because of this does boost sales, then the "quiet hours" would be permanent to the
The restaurant targets middle to lower-middle class families with children, as well as adults and seniors, located in Orlando, Florida. The area within 15 minutes of the store has 10,000 families, mostly from lower to middle class neighborhoods. Average family size is 4 people per household. There is no direct competition; however, there are fast food restaurants like McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Wendy’s in the geographical target market. The lower to middle class population is growing at about 6% per year over the next five years in this area.
For this paper I choose a well know fast food restaurant, which is “Chick-fil-A”. Chick-fil-A is a restaurant that they focus on all ages, and any kind of people. On March 25, I personally went to the “Chick- Fil- A” that located beside the Pasadena City College and observe. Chick- Fil- A is a company that tries to focus on every age as possible as they can, even though the price that they had marked is high than the McDonald, Jack in the box, etc... but they are giving costumer the better quality of foods. However when I site down and observe I found out there are few families with kids, old people, students, and businessman, etc…. Moreover, Chick- Fil- A had chosen a great location to locate their restaurant, beside the restaurant, which
The author of this particular article, Working at McDonalds, Amitai Etzioni is a sociology professor at the institute of George Washington University and the founder of the non-profit organization known as Communitarian Netwroks. In this essay he narrates his strong belief that working at any fast food chain restaurants is detrimental towards a students future. He validates his reasons that student do not benefit any long-term skills as taught in these restaurants. He beliefs that these jobs take away time from school and/or after school activities such as sports, clubs, etc. This skews a students perspective of the importance of a high-quality education that leads them towards their dreams and goals of a career in the major they perceive to
Since taking over Chick-fil-A’s social media marketing, Moxie Marketing has led them to over 8 million followers across various social media platforms; beating monstrous companies like Walmart, Coca-Cola and Target. Moxie Marketing is able to compete effectively, by using design and production studios allowing for quick, clean and crisp production of content. This allows for social media posts to be produced and uploaded across various platforms in a short period of time. The ability to upload social media content is a convenience, however it has played out as great opportunity to countering negative publicity. During the 2012 boycott of Chick-fil-A, the company and its supporters were able to use Facebook to further clarify their traditional Christian values. As a result of Chick-fil-A’s quick social media response, they were not only able to stop the financial bleeding from the boycott, but actually posted record sales on the August 1st, 2012, also known as Chick-fil-A day (bloomberg). Dan Kathy, the founders’ son, was able to clarify Chick-fil-A’s beliefs quickly through social media and was able to prevent further damage to the Chick-fil-A brand. Interestingly, Chick-fil-A which remains closed on Sundays with respect for the Sunday Sabbath, posts more revenue per restaurant then its competitors, who are open seven days a
The fast food industry both feeds and prays off the young. Pioneers in developing marketing strategies to target children, the fast-food chains have even infiltrated the nation's schools through lunchroom franchises and special advertising packages that answer public education's need for funds; in every way possible, giving the children a loyal friend to rely on. In many franchises, teenagers are perfect candidates for low-paying, low-skilled, short-term jobs and constitute a large part of the fast-food chains' workforce; and often practically run individual locations, having more responsibility than most adults.
In order to address such problem, the company may opt to offer discounts in certain time of the day to boost the sales of its bread. For instance the bakeshop may provide 50% discount on its baked goods when stores are about to close. In doing so, it will not only reduce the spoilage of the bakeshop, but would also broaden the appeal of the bakery-café to a bigger market. The discount serves as a tool to segment the market that the company is catering into, and thus be able to maximize the sales per target market.
Zora Neale Hurston’s short story, “Sweat” effectively shows an African-American woman overcoming her abusive husband. In “Sweat,” the antagonist, Sykes abuses his wife, Delia emotionally and physically. The protagonist, Delia overcomes her fear of her husband by letting her anger build up inside until she finally no longer cares about her husband’s well-being. By the end of the story, Delia’s pint-up anger results in her watching her husband die even though she could save him. Symbolism plays a major role in “Sweat.”
Someone working at a fast-food restaurant is bound to face torment either by their peers, and have the social stain of being viewed as poor or dirty. In a personal interview with another fast food worker, Whitney said, “…a lot of them [fast food workers] do tend to have that lower class background. Also, whenever you find adults working in the fast food industry, it generally means they lack an education.” A lot of younger adolescents will take jobs at fast food restaurants because very few places will hire kids when they first get their legal working papers, but fast food restaurants tend to flood their restaurant with these juvenile employees.
In late April of 1991, Lydia and Lou decided to take the planning process to the next level and decided to start executing some of their plans. This is when some of the setbacks started to take place. When starting this new business venture, technology wasn’t popular yet and they needed to market their new restaurant to the clients that they wanted to appeal to. They weren’t to see how to go about doing this. Their menu would be moderately priced and there were many surrounding businesses close by. They thought
One of the key operational ingredients to make them successful is their hours of operations. The restaurant is only open from 11a to 2pm and from 5pm to 10pm. This could by far be one of the best strategies for them as it allows them to focus on the lunch and dinner seekers in the neighborhood. These hours of operations make it very easy to find part time employees helping keep payroll and benefits at 15% compared to 26.9% for the average limited menu restaurant. Being a buffet style restaurant and priding themselves on the freshness of their food, the owners have managed to run operations that allow them to reduce waste to mainly what the customers don’t finish eating. This also allows them to keep their

It is often said that the less teengers in the reastaurant, the better the sales of the business; however, teens are also customers, they bring their friends with them and without teens in the restaurant, overtime Mr. Jones will shut down his business. Mr. Jones is making wrong assumptions about the teenagers in his restaurant. According to the student blog, “ All the noises came from annoying business people. This shows that teenagers are not the only ones being loud. The Muchy’s promise of a “quiet lunch” is not possible because the restaurant is still going to be loud. Teenagers are the ones who attract the
One of my biggest struggles I deal with everyday is that I feel like I’m one of the few people who actually does things from the heart. I don’t do something because someone told me it was a good idea or because I’ll look good to other people. I can provide you with plenty of examples to clarify this and the easiest example I can think of would be school. I bet that 75% of high school students only go to classes because it’s federal law. Most of them (including me at one point) go there to just memorize stuff and try to make our parents happy with decent grades. Rarley, would you get a kid like me who attends class to learn about a variety of topics and actually retain the information. Even though many of my classes incoporate topics I won’t ever use (or take the
In the play Macbeth, there are two main characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, and both of these characters have done some things that some people would consider to be evil. There are some who think that Lady Macbeth is more evil than Macbeth, but there are reasons that I believe that Macbeth is more evil than Lady Macbeth. I think that Macbeth is more evil because he has no respect for anyone, and he is two-faced who only cared about himself and nobody else, not even when his own wife had died. Macbeth has went beyond his measures into killing the king and having others be killed, in related to Lady Macbeth has never actually killed anyone in the play.
