EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Description of the Business EatingAndSleeping.com simply authenticates high-end hospitality expectations through honest written reviews and analysis. eatingandsleeping.com Pty Ltd (EatingAndSleeping.com), is a business that provides honest unbiased reviews of exclusive, or high-end, hospitality experiences for customers via its online address (site) with the same name. An Australian proprietary company limited by shares, Leigh Cheyne and Tania Cheyne jointly serve as directors of the company. The business will begin operations from a residential office on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. Though not limited geographically at its commencement, EatingAndSleeping.com will initially target local and regional customers, increasingly extending its reach to a national and global audience. Visitors to the site will be able to feel a consistency in tone and tenor as all review content will be created exclusively by employees of EatingAndSleeping.com, rather than anonymous or unverified site users. Readers’ familiarity with a reviewer’s previously published assessments will serve as a benchmark in interpreting the review they are reading. Initial market testing indicates a gap in the travel and leisure review market. Though many online review sites exist, very few can be considered a source of honest and unbiased reviews. Of those that claim independent assessments, virtually none are facing a demographic of customers that frequent high end and exclusive restaurants,
In this essay I will be explaining and evaluating the method chosen and used by Pinewood Hotel in order to gain a better insight onto how aspects of their website are rated, and how it compares to their competitors. In addition to this, I will evaluate the findings that were gained from the research method used by the researchers at Pinewood Hotel.
The review of this is objective there are no personal biases given in this study as they asked the participants the questions and documented their answers on the survey tool that was standardized for each person’s responses. The review was very detailed and followed the proper qualitative process. There are points in the article where the writers do paraphrase the statements that were found in previous
It does not appear within the context of the study that the literature review has bias or undue influence on the findings but rather to support their validity as the method of the study and findings of this study are presented from a different perspective. However to maintain a balanced perspective we should consider the reasons that to date only one previous study has been a
Her report also claims that the credibility of the authors can inform the reader of the credibility of the paper as a whole, suggesting that the authors should not only be qualified in the research area, but should also have experience and knowledge of the practice area in question. The researchers of this paper have listed their workplace but have not included their job titles or qualifications; this makes assessing the competence of the researchers difficult. The abstract of this paper (titled ‘Summary’ within the text) is succinct and outlines the research aim, sample, methodology, results and conclusions. This ensures that the reader can quickly decide whether the study is of interest, according to Ryan, Coughlan & Cronin’s critique framework
The main use of the rating system is to become a source of information for consumers. Consumers can also utilize other systems to find information about places to eat; either by generally searching online about a specific restaurant or utilizing a site that specifically rates restaurant. There are different organizations that rate restaurants, such as; Michelin Star (anonymously inspected company which typically identifies fine dining restaurants), Good Housekeeping seal of approval, AAA Diamonds (also anonymously inspected and identifies all types of restaurants), Zagat reviews (reviews compiled from real people incorporated into search engines such as Google), Yelp (reviews by real people listed on the highly visited
Not only are reviews being used to damage a reputation but also used as black mail. An investigation by the Times had implied that 80% of hoteliers and bed and breakfast owners had complained to TripAdvisor that guests had been using the online review system in an intimidating and black mail way. Guests would demand upgrades or discounts if the business in question did not comply then a bad review would be posted on TripAdvisor. Bha.org.uk,(2011)
The average Joe can hurt a brand new restaurant, for example, with a negative review about the food, the prices or the service, because this review will keep other customers, who may have left a good review, away. While it is true that the majority of consumers use online reviews in their purchasing decisions, one bad review out of twenty positive reviews won't hurt the average business, therefore it is essential for businesses to ask customers to share their experience with others online.
Travelworth's Adventurous Young Adult segment is similar to the ClubMed segment, with perhaps slightly less discretionary funds at the ready. SkiBright and SunSport customers may go on one major holiday excursion each year, which is one of the reasons they seem to prefer an exceptionally distinct context and action-filled time. The current economy has apparently impacted a substantive number of members of Travelworth's target market. That said, repeat bookings come in at a rate of about 53 percent. Customers tend to rate SkiBright as very satisfactory; no corollary information is available for SunSport this season. The level of brand awareness for SkiBright is relatively low at just 36 percent, as reported by an omnibus (syndicated) survey.

In order to determine as to whether or not News Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, is indeed a non-reporting entity, direct attention must be drawn to SAC1, “Definition of the Reporting Entity”, as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. SAC1, defines a reporting entity, as an economic entity, in which it is expected that a substantiated group of users, rely on an entity’s general purpose financial reports. Such reliance on general purpose financial reports, as defined in SAC1, paragraphs 12 & 15, are deemed important by dependent external users, as they affect evaluative decisions with regards to the allocation of monetary resources.

I sat in a Subway® restaurant for about 25 minutes, observing people ordering sandwiches, and observing the Subway® staff interact with their customers. I suppose, along with my Unit 1 DQ2 on binge eating disorder, you could say that I’m fascinated with people’s relationships with food. Well, it’s personal. I’ve been struggling with my weight for a long time now. So, that’s the why.

Customers form opinions about the restaurants through their five senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. However, each of them receives, organizes, and interprets these sensory stimuli in individual way. According to B. Berelson and Steiner G. perception can be defined as "a process from which individuals select, organize, and interpret the information received to create a picture sense of the world”. Understanding perception and the factors determining how consumers perceive products and services is central to effective marketing (Berkman, Lindquist, and Sirgy, 1996).To the marketer, consumers ' perceptions are much more important than their knowledge of objective reality. What consumers perceive to be reality affects their actions, their buying habits and their leisure habits
