They both have a hostess located particularly close to the entrance of the restaurant, who seats the party at a table, depending on availability, and current staff available to fulfill customer needs. Once customers are seated at a table, they are then greeted by a server, who takes drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert orders, as well as cater the the customer by taking care of their wants and needs and making sure that they are getting quality service while they are dining at their establishment. Both Buffalo Wild Wings and Dublin both provide similar types of “bar” food such as burgers and appetizers, and although the menus’ differ, they offer a variety of food that is similar in nature. Both restaurants are also similar in that they both …show more content…
We were able to obtain interesting findings about the difference and comparison between these two restaurants. As far as lunch time goes, Dublin and Buffalo Wild Wings are similar in a variety of ways. We found that most groups dining in both restaurants were grouped in parties of 2-5 people, who seemed to be made up of mostly family and friend oriented groups. These groups during lunch time mostly associated and chatted with their own groups, without much interaction from other parties except the wait staff that was catering to them and tending to their needs. Both restaurants offer their customers a more laid back lunch atmosphere, with less crowds of people, relatively little wait time to get food and drinks, and a comfortable setting to enjoy their lunch. Most people at both restaurants sat and enjoyed their lunches while having conversation and enjoying the time spent with their family, friends, and loved ones. We attended these two establishments both on a Sunday and Thursday for lunch and both days had relatively similar feelings and atmospheres in both restaurants. Both Dublin and Buffalo Wild Wings lunch crowds, wait staff, and overall …show more content…
On Friday night for example, there is a relatively large variety of things that make these restaurants different experiences for each of their consumers. On Friday night Dublin has a particularly larger number of customers who are drinking mixed drinks, shots, and beers, and on the other hand at Buffalo Wild Wings it appeared that there were less people drinking alcoholic beverages, and if they were, it was almost always beer. Dublin offers an environment where people feel comfortable dancing and Buffalo Wild Wings does not really have the place or the atmosphere for consumers to make dancing appropriate. Although a high number of people in both establishments were dressed casually on Friday nights, Dublin primarily had more people eloquently dressed in fancier clothing than Buffalo Wing Wings, which has more of a casual, laid back feel and that usually makes customers feel comfortable wearing their choice of casual attire. At Buffalo Wild Wings there appeared to be a high variety of appetizers being served because they offer half-off appetizers on weekdays which can draw in a large crowd of people. At Dublin the atmosphere was more of focused on the drinking seen rather than the food scene on this particular day because a lot of college age students gather at Dublin to socialize with not only their own parties, but
On Friday, December 4, 2015, I was dispatched to 3912 N Roxboro St , Chick Fil A in reference to a fraud call. Upon arrival, contact was made with Mr. Austin Franks, the store manager.
Zaxby’s offers strips, in many different count sizes, as their one style of regular crispy chicken; they also serve four flavors of boneless and traditional wings, accompanied with celery and blue cheese dip. All of Chick-Fil-A’s chicken is boneless, and they offer a variety of styles including four, six, eight, and twelve pack nuggets, three and four count strips, and six different chicken sandwiches. Zaxby’s brings unique “Zalads” to the plate, topped with fried or grilled chicken while Chick-Fil-A has branched out to offer a full breakfast menu. The option of ordering party platters of chicken and sides for catering events is provided by both restaurants as
Typically, consumers go out to eat not only for good food, but we also expect good services, fresh ingredients, proximity, and an atmosphere to match. My client is The Varsity Club Tavern in Morgantown, WV. Usually just referred to as The Varsity Club, but the tavern part gives a little hint to the overall feel of the restaurant. As you may know, taverns are places that sell beer and other beverages and some of the time food. The Varsity Club offers an extensive beer selection and
A good leader is one that motivates others to do well, not because they have to but because they want to. A great leader knows and understands their vision and is unwilling to compromise their values or morals to achieve success. Not all influential leaders are publicly known for their accolades. It is not until something negative or perceived as negative is brought to the public’s attention that these leaders are judged; such is the case of Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-a. Standing firm on this beliefs in God and Christian principles he turned a small diner into the multi-billion dollar company, Chick-fil-a that generates more profit in 6 days, than its competitors in 7 days (Williamson, 2014,
The first KFC was opened in Tiananmen Square, China 1987; it struggled as western food was unknown to the east. This was still a very conservative nation, not prepared for the “Fast Food” takeover. The restaurant did pretty well, but grew slowly. The Harvard business review, stated that “in 1992 the Chinese government granted foreign companies greater access to markets, KFC China’s managers gradually developed the blueprint that would transform the chain.” (Yums' China, 2017) Although they have done well for themselves they struggled, as growth was steady but slow and their customer base was shrinking. “In November 2016 Yum China Holdings, Inc. became a licensee of Yum brands in Mainland China; they have exclusive rights to KFC.” (Yums' China, 2017) Yum controls approximately 7,300 restaurants and more than 400,000 employees in more than 1, 100 cities. YUMS generated over $8bln in sales in 2015.

Answer to Question 1. MITRE is following the committed expert strategy. Its recruiting focus is targeted. MITRE does not resort to broad recruiting channels because it’s costly and doesn’t attract the right kind of candidates. MITRE mostly uses internal sources to hire new people. The company’s current employees do most of the recruitment and, in return, they get bonuses and opportunities to improve their team by suggesting candidates that they find suitable.
The spinning off the restaurant divisions, in my opinion, is a success for PepsiCo. Although Yum! Brands has been a quite successful, thriving company with record setting growth and profitability, I would still support the decision today. PepsiCo had too many oars in the water with the beverage business, the snack business (Frito Lay) and the fast food restaurant business. It could not successfully manage all the diversity it had acquired. I commend the management team’s decision (led by, then President/CFO, Indra Nooyi and now Chairman/CEO) (Fox News 2012) to cut a highly potential part of its business off and to implement a strategy to focus on its main products and their distribution. This strategy has proved to be the right move for this organization. Below is a table which illustrates the fluctuations with the stock price from the first acquisition of Pizza Hut through October 31, 2014 (though the stock price posted on 11/3/2014). You can see that the acquisition years (in yellow) show a negative impact on the stock price, with two of the three being significant. You should also note that, in the year of divesture,
