From: Dev Das, CMA
Subject: Strategic and Operational opportunities

Livoria Sandwiches faces major changes within the food industry in Dawkins. The city is in continuing growth and expansion, being ranked as the fastest growing number of vegetarians in the country.
Currently Livoria faces a cash shortfall due to a lawsuit. The menu has to be adapted to the market demand fast to keep up with the changes. The owners expressed the desire of having 1.1M in net profit by 2015. The goal can be reached ONLY by changing and adapting the menu to a vegetarian one. Some loyal customers will be lost, because the veal cutlet sandwich will basically disappear from the menu by 2015. Nevertheless contribution margin is increased by giving advantage to products that have more contribution margin per limited resource. Analysis shows that vegetarian sandwiches are the future key success factors for the restaurants.
Livoria cannot reach the 1.1M in net profit unless it adapts the menu to the vegetarian produce.

Situation analysis

    Economic theories simplify the relations among key economic concepts and enable us to understand different economic concepts. Throughout history, different economists in different time periods have formed diverse thoughts on how markets work by building and improving on the work of those who came before them. Therefore in order to gain a wider understanding of a particular economic term, it is helpful for us to investigate more than one economic theory. This essay will explore classical and Marxist and compare their portrayal of the concept of profit and where is it from. While classical economists believe profit has a large role to play in land and rent, Marxist economists put more emphasis on surplus value gained through the exploitation of workers’ labour.…

    There should be more vegetarian choices in the more common restaurants. Those popular places are everywhere. But where does that leave healthy vegetarian restaurants? Nowhere-- well maybe in the far corner where nobody sees. Plus, the most popular fast food restaurant, McDonalds, has mainly meat products and hardly any foods made with lettuce. The very few restaurants that do have vegetarian choices are not as popular and are located in the places that no one sees, and if no one sees them, then nobody will go there. And we all know what happens to places when they don’t get enough money to pay the employees? The restaurant goes out of business. So guess what replaces that past vegetarian restaurant? A restaurant with only meat meals. And the cycle continues.…
