The organization I’m choosing to evaluate is Chick Fil A, in 2014 Chick Fil A’s earnings per restaurant were 3.1 million (Peterson, 2015). Compared to their top competitors McDonald’s, KFC, and Taco Bell, Chick Fil A has managed to make notable earnings despite having few stores and less hours of operation. Chick Fil A has a devoted following and their customer service sets and exceeds the standard. With the statistics and rave reviews I just gave Chick Fil A one would question what else can they do to improve? I have two words dinner menu, for sure Chick Fil A is the place everyone will go to when they need to grab a quick lunch or fulfilling breakfast however, Chick Fil A’s dinner menu needs to be address.

This paper explores the principles and Christian values of Truett Cathy, and the positive effects on the Chick-fil-a organizations. At the time of his death, there were more than 1,800 Chick-fil-A restaurants in 40 states and Washington, D.C. Cathy’s approach was largely driven by personal satisfaction and a sense of obligation to the community and its young people. Chick-fil-A franchises are closed on Sundays. Cathy opened his first restaurant on a Tuesday, and found that, by Sunday, he was “just worn out.” He noted that, like himself, many of his customers preferred to observe the Christian Sabbath and, in their case, not eat out on Sundays, so his restaurants have been closed on Sundays ever since. This paper examines the relationship between Truett Cathy and how the Christian values within a workplace can positively influence the culture of the organization and also contribute to its success.…
S. Treutt Cathy started Chick-fil-A in 1946. This chain’s origin can be traced to the Dwarf Grill, which was located in the city of Hapeville, Georgia, right outside Atlanta. After 15 years of working in the fast food industry, Cathy discovered a pressure fryer, which could ridiculously fast cook a chicken sandwich in the same amount of time it takes to cook a fast-food hamburger. Upon this mind boggling discovery, Truett decided to register his company name as Chick-fil-A, Inc., with the trademark slogan, “We Didn’t Invent Chicken, Just the Chicken Sandwich.” He later opened his first Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant in 1967, which was located in the Greenbrier Mall in Atlanta. The chain took off rather quickly in the 1970s and 1980s with…
The company I selected to write about is Chick-fil-A. This company started back in 1946 in Hapeville, Georgia. Its founder Truett Cathy believed all franchised Chick-fil-A Operators and their Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so (http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Company/Highlights-Sunday). Mr. Cathy attributed this closure on Sundays as part of his success. With sales for 2015 exceeding 6 billion (http://www.chick-fil-a.com), I must say he’s was on the right path.…
An article I selected from the Wall Street Journal explains how Chick-fil-A was founded and the reason this establishment is so different than many other fast food restaurants. The article states, “The chain's locations are closed on Sundays and play religious-themed music” (Calia & Jargon, 2014). The concept of this entirely different style of fast food has caught on in the Southern States and many customers appreciate the fact that the restaurant stays so true to its values. Since the beginning when S. Truett Cathy opened his first eatery called the Dwarf Grill there has been a focus centered around God. The revenue the company is losing from a busy weekend day doesn’t set this them back, it actually seems to have made more loyal customers…
Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant based off of their founder's, Truett Cathy, morals. Christianity was a key principal in Cathy's idea of his ideal business. There are tons of businesses today who do not mix church and state, but Cathy had a different idea in mind. Although Chick-fil-A receives criticism for the morals they uphold, they have taken over America. According to Business Insider, Chick-fil-A has dominated America as over the majority of state's favorite restaurant. As a Christian myself, I enjoy the atmosphere Chick-fil-A creates for their customers. I love walking in to a clean restaurant, Christian music is playing, amiable cashiers and other employees, and, of course, delicious food. I personally think Chick-fil-A does an…

I think purchasing and operating a chick fil a in Moscow would be a solid investment. Moscow is a popular tourist location with other fast food establishments, including Burger King and McDonalds. Even though there are more McDonalds and Burger King location's Chick-Fil-A has made more money in the past to years then both places. With that begin said I think chick fil a would obtain a lot of business solely from stealing competition customers. This will be the first time Chick-Fil-A will go world wide. In the next 24 months they want to expand in the U.S. There goal is to double the amount of chick fil a's in the US and expand to to other countreis. Once you are an established franchisee of Chick Fil A they offer on-site training before the…

I have routinely been told throughout my high school and college careers that I lack the work ethic to succeed, but I have the work ethic to succeed in which I am motivated succeed at.…
