What Steven Ells began with a small taqueria in Denver, Colorado in 1993, one may not have foreseen this venture to become the fastest growing restaurant chain in the last decade. By 2006, Ells’ idea made its initial public offering with 535 restaurants throughout the world. Things were going tremendously well for CMG until late afternoon on October 18, 2012 when Ells finished receiving the company’s third quarter results. While data indicated an overall satisfactory outcome, it was the competition from Yum Brands’ Taco Bell and their recent launch of the Cantina Bell menu that would result in what seemed to be the onset of a major problem.…

When I was choosing a company I had to figure out what I loved most. So I decided to choose my favorite restaurant. The company I chose was Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc (CMG). I know that this is crazy because its fast food, but I work less than 1 mile from one and I eat there at least 2-3 times a week. So as much money as I have invested in with just lunch a week. I was dying to find out their financial information and this assignment gave me my opportunity.…
Working in IN-N-OUT Burger, people were referred to as “associates” rather than employees or workers. As a family-run business, treating employees as family members make them feel more connected to the business. Snyder is always held their employees in high esteem, paying them higher salary than other fast-food competitors. The company’s benefit packages are also generous, which include vision, medical, and dental benefits for both part-time and full-time associates. Such treatment engenders loyalty from workers. All associates in IN-N-OUT were given opportunities to grow and expand within the business chain. “They have the lowest turnover rate in the fast food industry, which is notorious for turnover,” says Perman. “They say that the average manager’s tenure is 14 years, but they have managers who have been there 30 or 40 years.” The company stayed focused on “Keep it real simple, do one thing and do it the best you can.” Therefore, associates were given strict uniforms and were always prompted to smile to customers, which wasn’t hard because every employee was happy to be there. Snyder is also believed in paying for hard work. This is another way to reward employees who have put effort on doing their work and keep them motivated and do the best for the restaurants.…
Ben and Jerry 's ice cream and the amazing success the company has experience over the years could be loosely summed up as a story that began with two friends coming together with a vision to create a company that did not adhere to the traditional corporate rules of running a business. They both had certain ideals and a socially and economic responsible opinion on how a capitalist business should be run. There are a lot of similarities in the way this company is run and operated when compared to South West Airlines. They are of course offering two different things to there customers, South West providing a service where Ben and Jerry 's are providing a product but the way that they go about there daily business in the spirit of treating people a certain way, and setting out to complete a different kind of vision then say a more traditional company would is very similar.…
It’s hard to believe there are five problems with In-N-Out Burger because of how successful the company is and how delicious the burgers are. Well at least that what I heard, one of my friends that moved to California confessed to me that the reason he moved was because he loved In-N-Out Burger’s. But as I began to read I found more than five devastating problems that the Snyder family encountered as pioneers of the fast food business.…
