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. Additionally, among other threats, such as trade restrictions, disruption in shipping, it may affect…

In the 1920’s, there were the good and bad times. People called 1920’s the roaring 20’s because of the fast paced culture acceptances. At the start of 1920’s, people had some money to spend. They would spend their money on clothes, appliances, and entertainment (The Roaring Twenties). During the roaring 1920’s, there were lots of products that shape how we live now. Radio was big during that time. At least 60 percent of households owned a radio. With the radio, people were able to listen to music, hear the news, or even the presidential speech. In a way, the radio brought people together. As stated in in Class Zone, “Radio programs ranged from live theater to sporting events, and from symphony concerts and jazz to religious sermons and broadcasts of…
When analyzing the organizational feasibility, we should examine the cultural aspect of Cupcake Confections LLC. The location of the shop will be on or around the vicinity of Virginia Commonwealth University to better target young adults. For the makeup of the restaurant, we have decided to hire 6 staff members between the ages of 16-34 years; one being a full-time manager, one being a full-time supervisor, and the other four being part-time staff. While it is a positive to have one manager throughout the day so you don’t have to split the cost for two, that leads to a drawback of the Manager burning out throughout the day. To minimize the risk of this, we will have the manager only come in during the busier shifts of the day versus staying…
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.…

Waffle House was founded in Avondale Estates, Georgia in 1955 by Joe Rogers, Sr. and Tom Forkner. Waffle House had humble beginnings in a small house in a local neighborhood.

(1) Fast food, which is a very common concept in America today, has not always been so popular. (2) Because McDonald’s was the first restaurant to equip themselves with an assembly line people think that it was the beginning of fast food, but many consider White Castle to be how fast food chains began. (5) When founded in 1921, White Castle was an extremely important part of fast-food development. (3) Surprisingly, at the time, hamburgers were considered revolting. White Castle changed the perception of burgers when they began having nice, white, and clean restaurants with windows. (4) Being redesigned, McDonald’s was closed for a while, until it reopened in 1948, and later followed Taco Bell in 1950 and Wendy’s in 1969.(How Stuff…
In developing a search strategy the most important thing is to decide on the keywords that sum up the information one wants. In my research paper I am researching on the history of cheese. The keywords in my topic are history and cheese. The synonyms of cheese include cheese flower, high mallow, malva sylvestris and tall mallow. History synonyms include account, chronicle and story. Cheese production and consumption has proliferated all over the world since its discovery years ago. This is due to its availability in the stores all over the world. The process of making is also easy and the ingredients that are used in its production are easily presented. The main ingredient is milk. Production of cheese has been converted from small scale production to large scale production as years since its discovery progress (Martin 12).…

Harland Sanders, founder of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken, born in 1890, just outside Henryville, Indiana. After a series of jobs, in the mid 1930s at the age of forty, Colonel Sanders bought a service station, motel and cafe at Corbin, a town in Kentucky. He began serving meals to travelers on the dining table in the living quarters of his service station because he did not have a restaurant. It is here that Sanders began experimenting with different seasonings to flavor his chicken which travelers loved and for which he soon became famous. He then moved across the street to a motel and restaurant, which seated 142 people. During the next nine years he developed his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique which is still used today. Sander’s fame grew. In 1939, his establishment was first listed in Duncan Hines’ “Adventures in Good Eating”.…
