The 4 P, S of Hooters
The 4 P’S of Hooters

The first Hooters opened April 1st, 1983 in Clearwater, Florida. Six fun-loving businessmen with roots in the Midwest and with no experience in the foodservice business were opening doors to a restaurant with an owl logo, chicken wings as the featured item, and girls in orange shorts. Hooters is running at full speed with restaurants opening throughout the Sunbelt, the Rockies, the Eastern Seaboard, the beautiful Canadian country with expansion plans for the entire U.S. and more international markets. In term of Products, Hooters offer a great variety of products on its menu. Such as seafood, sandwiches, salad, and spicy chicken wings. Besides these products Hooters get 23% of its profit from brewers such as Budweiser, Corona, Bud light, etc. As a unique restaurant Hooters is also very competitive with its prices. Let say for example, the beers and the food at Hooters are a the same price as other restaurants in the country, with the difference that in Hooters the food has other taste since is served by beautiful women who are wearing sexy clothes that attract the customers attention. This subtly sex appeal use by women at Hooter plus the service they provide to its customers make the prices of its products look insignificant with regard to other restaurants that does not have Hooter style. Like any other restaurant that has a trend of success, Hooters also provide a great scale of Promotion to its employees. The positions range from vice president to waitress. It all depends on the knowledge and training that the girls might have to get a high or low position at Hooters. Hooters characterize itself as a neighborhood place, not a typical family restaurant. Sixty-eight percent of Hooters customers are males, most between the ages of 25-54. Hooters do not market itself to families, but they do patronize the restaurants. Ten percent of the parties served by Hooters have children in there. It is for this reason that they are a

    When Steve Ells decided to create a restaurant concept that combined the quick-serve experience with exceptional quality food, he didn’t know it would be an instant hit (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble, & Strickland III, 2015). He was looking for a way to use his culinary training and restaurant experience to elevate the fast-food concept. This transformed the way people thought about fast-food. His concept centered on a focused menu serving only high-quality, fresh ingredients using traditional cooking methods and made-to-order preparation in a restaurant interior that was aesthetically pleasing but still prepared in under 2-3 minutes. And Chipotle Mexican Grill was born! Within six years of being open, Chipotle Mexican Grill went public on the New York Stock Exchange, doubling its stock price the first day (Thompson et al., 2015). Year after year, Chipotle has been able to grow revenue from $3.2 billion to $4.1 billion ("CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL INC (CMG:New York): Financial Statements - BusinessWeek," n.d.). See Exhibit 2 for Chipotle’s Financial Statement.…

    The easiest way to figure out who a company is targeting is to look at who their advertisements and commercials are aimed at. Chick-fil-An is based on what they allude to as "family qualities," and that is whom they target intensely. Several locations offer an indoor play area for kids and regularly Chick-fil-A's will have a mascot there on certain days to stroll around and take pictures with children. One exceptional characteristic of Chick-fil-A restaurants is their inclusion in their surrounding communities. For example, the Chick-fil-A in Oxford, MS put on a "Princess Ball" occasion at which fathers and little girls could have a night out on the town. Many Chick-fil-A's hold "Child's Nights" where kids come in and make craft and receive…

    Really appreciate the way the class goes even though I was disappointed by my midterm grade. I did not expect the test to be so close to the content of the book. However, I now know how to study for the next test and am confident that I will get a better grade. Also, I am kind of stressing out about the white paper project, for it looks like a pretty important project that could follow us for a lifetime and be a part of our résumé. However, I am confident about the topic my partner and I chose and really feel like we could get a good grade out of it. Air France seems to be a really interesting topic and the fact that we have my father, who is an airfraft pilot for the company, as a support is really supportive.…

    Chipotle was founded by Steve Ells in Denver Colorado July 13, 1993 near the University of Denver. Steve started by offering a small menu consisting only of a large burrito, tacos, chips and guacamole (Daszkowski, Don, June 28, 2010). He needed to sell 107 burritos a day to be able to make a profit, but in months time he was selling more than 1,000 burritos a day! In February 1998 McDonalds agreed to buy a minority stake in World Foods, which operated Chipotle. Chipotle had 14 stores in Denver and was planning to open stores in Kansas City. Each restaurant made from $1 million to $1.3 million in annual sales. In 2000 McDonalds bought Boston Market and turned some of those stores into Chipotle restaurants. By 2004 thy added 104 new Chipotle stores in that year alone. During this time Ells's "Food with Integrity" program was developed which focused on using better quality sustainable ingredients. In 2003 McDonalds fully divested from Chipotle after adding 500 more restaurants in the U.S. In 2008 837 restaurants had been opened. Including the first international store in Toronto. By the end of March 2013 they have opened 1,458 restaurants. With all this success there would obviously be key factors that have made them be able to expand like they have (International Directory of Company Histories, Vol.67. St. James Press, 2005.).…

    Medea

    • 1701 Words

    In the play Medea, Euripides depicted the role of a feminist. Her cunning and cleverness which should be admired however cause her tragedy at that time, the Ancient Greek time, where women are subordinate to men. The dominant men cannot bear that women go over them, thus cause the suffering and pain of Medea in her age. And in this view, I do not assume Medea a feminist but a normal woman who pursue harmony in family and loyalty in love, yet that finally depressed her and drove her into manipulation and brutalization. Here are my few thought about questions involved in the play.…
