Cheesecake Factory: Threats To Canada
Cheesecake Factory could face a variety of threats related to their expansion in Canada. Domestic economic conditions including unemployment, consumer purchasing and saving habits, wage rates could influence Cheesecake’s business and financial performance. Moreover, competition from other restaurants in the restaurant industry can also have a significant impact due to the fact the industry is very competitive, with regards to the menu, food quality, service and location, etc. Many Canadian-based restaurants operators such as Moxie’s Grill may have greater resources to the Canadian market; as a result, Cheesecake Factory could lose market share.

    Market growth is a rise or escalation in the demand for a specific product over a period of time. Market growth can be decreased if the company does not produce a demanding product or service at the reasonable price for the consumer (Business Dictionary, 2012). KFF knows that their specialty food market signifies a modest part of produce sales in Canada. Though, as the public looks to healthier lifestyles and improved eating habits, stores like Kudler will be highly recommended in the Canadian markets. The evidences demonstrate proven growth in the United States market that could translate to similar success in Canada. “Total sales of specialty foods in 2010 were $70.32 billion, with $55.92 billion of sales at retail; Specialty foods represent 13.1 percent of all retail food sales; 76 percent of specialty food manufacturers report sales…

I noticed they are a very popular company and they all very successful business been around for years and will continue on being a very good company. The sales they have on the menu are great the also had summaries of things they use to make their food so a lot of people know what they are eating which I think is a very good idea for companies to add to their menu to let others know what they are eating. As well as them advertising their company on Facebook and also Bizmology and other websites to get known. I have done some research on the company and noticed that the restaurant chain reported $1.75 billion in revenue for 2011. The company owns and operates over 170 casual dining restaurants in over 35 states also they have succeeded in creating a unique brand by focusing on a few key aspects of the Cheesecake Factory dining experience.

    Maple Leaf Consumer Foods - Fixing Hotdogs A

    Maple Leaf Foods (MLF), a result of many mergers and amalgamations, has been in Canada for over 100 years. Its operations focus on three core areas: meat products, agribusiness and bakery products. The meat product group is the largest, with sales to about $2.5 billion in 2000. Each business is made up of independent operating companies (IOCs), with each IOC run by a president and encouraged to follow a common set of values. Efforts are underway to optimize vertical coordination of the IOCs. A major concern for the meat product division is the loss of market share in the hot dog industry where average price per kilo is increasing while volume sold by MLF is decreasing.…

    Chipotle External Analysis

    The U.S. fast-food industry is expected to generate total revenues of $184.0 billion in 2010, which is equal to a 0.32% share of the economy. Over the next five years (2010 to 2015), the revenue for the industry is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% per year to $208.2 billion (Appendix 1 – Table 1). Due to the projected improvement of the domestic economy, the number of establishments and the number of enterprises are forecasted to increase at a rate of 1.7% and 1.3% per year, respectively. This means that new entrants will enter the market at a slower rate than the existing fast-food chains increase their branches (IBISWorld, 2010).…

    Snow Cone External Analysis

    Snow Cone Haven is a new organization in the shaved ice and smoothie industry. The operating environment can be broken out into three categories: remote environment, industry environment, and external operating environments. The remote environment does not affect the operating situation of any organization but economic, social, political, technological, and ecological factors that originate beyond the operating situation presents firms with opportunities, threats, and constraints. Economic trends in the proposed market areas are relatively stable. The level of disposable income has remained fairly stable and appear to have been unaffected by economic conditions based on spending over the holiday season.

Snow cones will appeal to all market segments, and will be a more healthy option then ice cream.…

    The Cheesecake Factory: A Recipe For Health Care?

    Gawande makes an interesting argument suggesting that the U.S. health care system can improve the quality, efficiency, and cost of care by adopting The Cheesecake Factory’s standardized and quality control approach to food delivery and management. According to this approach, Gawande suggests that a standardized health care conglomerate will foster consistent care that reduces medical mistakes and wasteful use of resources, as well as increase the use of best practices across the organization. However, the idea of standardization of care may be commonly rejected by doctors. Unlike food management, the practice of medicine often requires customization. For example, medicine must be prescribed based upon a patient’s medical history, such as allergies, pre-existing and at-risk conditions, and existing drug regime. In addition, standardization often describes a consistent way of repeatedly doing something. Because of this glass ceiling effect, doctors may be inclined to reject standardization as it degrades their self-worth and autonomy. Undoubtedly, there will be cases that require doctors to provide customized care, but the assembly line approach to medicine as connoted by Gawande lacks fluidity and may not resonate with leaders in the field, especially by doctors who are the backbone of the U.S. health care delivery system.…

    Unsettling Canada

    Arthur Manuel’s Unsettling Canada, A National Wake Up Call is absolutely inspiring and a must read for all Canadians as they go through the discoveries of colonization policies, legislations and unfair treatment of Indigenous land and peoples. This book completely resonated with me as I feel the necessity to settle Indigenous title and rights has been long overdue and the imperative requirement for all to live lightly on the land. Unsettling Canada has substantial value as a pertinent text worth examining based on both past and present grassroots organizations who take action for Indigenous sovereignty and rights.…
