Taco Bell’s sales were suffering in February, 2011 because of the lawsuit in the United States (Stempel, J., 2011). The lawsuit valued the damages at $5,000,000 meaning that Taco Bell misrepresented the use of ingredients as seasonings (Nowak, M., 2014). The suit requested the court to require that Taco Bell to properly label its product as taco meat filling to make the public aware of the true content of its food.

    Chick-Fil-a Marketing Video Summary

    Since the opening of Chick-Fil-A, they have received over 2 billion dollars in sales. The company’s great recipe for success is due to the marketing strategy of product, price, place, and promotion. The additional two P’s, purpose and people, also give a hand in the success. Purpose, guiding the company’s strategy planning process, and people, being key to implementing strategy. For the company, product itself is the fact that the food is made fresh every day, only making just enough inventory to sell. They found that customers reward great product.

Keeping the customers in mind, the restaurant keeps a simple, yet high quality menu. The simple chicken sandwich with the two crucial pickles set the tone for the menu. The restaurant keeps a two-prong approach to their menu, referring to it as a menu of choice, providing nutritional goals of health, (grilled chicken, wraps, salads, etc.) and other items for those less focused on that approach, (milk-shakes, waffle fries, classic chicken sandwich). Keeping these elements has developed a loyal customer following for the food chain. Customers have proven that they’ll pay full price for a quality meal, therefore, Chick-Fil-A continues with their succeeding marketing strategy. As said in the video, “pricing is not just about the product itself, it’s about the overall experience, meaning that if you give the customers what they pay for, they will continue to use your business.…

    Research paper - Certified Angus Beef

    The USDA statics sheet shows that in 2010 the United States consumed 26.4 billion pounds of beef (“U.S. Beef”). This consumption enhanced the retail value of the beef industry to seventy-four billion dollars. Now the billions of people who made up these statics have no clue what Certified Angus Beef (CAB) or Laura’s Lean Beef are or even mean. Furthermore terminology used on menus, such as CAB, Laura’s Lean, prime, choice, yield grade, marbling, may cause many people to feel overwhelmed. However, particular items which have gained more recognition at the checkout lines and on menus are niche beef products. Two of the most common niche beef products are Certified Angus Beef and Laura’s Lean Beef. Understanding the quality standards associated with Certified Angus Beef and Laura’s Lean Beef should allow people as valuable consumers to make smarter decisions associated with meat sciences. Certified Angus Beef, also known as CAB, has a history and all three parts of qualifications needed to be granted CAB certification, marbling and maturity, uniform and consistent size, and quality appearance and tenderness.

    Nadel Et Al

    The court granted both the Burger King owner and Burger King Corporation request for motion of summary of judgments. The Nadel’s appealed. The court affirmed in part and reversed in part. The summary judgment was wrongly granted on the products liability and related punitive damage claims. Issues of fact remained as to whether the coffee was defective due to the heat at which it was served and whether an adequate warning existed. Because the alleged failure to warn involved a product, not premises, summary judgment was properly granted as to premises liability. Plaintiffs' claims of emotional damage were inadequate to support their claim of negligent infliction of emotional distress.…

    Chipotle's Argument Essay

    In today’s American Society, people yearn for quick and healthful meals. According to food research firm Technomic, 47 percent of Americans say they want healthier fast food options, but only about 23 percent actually order them (Sniegowski). An individual often subconsciously orders foods that look enticing in pictures or from companies that declare false information about the food in the advertisements; this enables fast food chains to operate profitably. A good fast food restaurant chain should have clean, simple and quality food with prices that can be affordable on the daily. Usually fast food Mexican restaurants are cheap and seem enticing but the food doesn’t meet the standards of nutritious and qualitative meals. In contrast Chipotle is a Mexican-style fast food restaurant that specializes in using meat that is obligated to satisfy the strict protocol for the treatment of animals. The company has a trademark called “Food with Integrity” that it uses to validate all of its meat…
