After understanding the business and its property, we must also seek to consider the employees and uncertainty arising from their day to day operations. Employees do the majority, if not all of the work for this business, especially in the production and delivery of product to consumers. Employers can be held liable for employees that have accidents in the course of their employment practices, whether they cause damage to the consumer or the employee themselves. For example, a consumer that is caused any sort of damages by the employee can choose to recover the damages by suing the restaurant. The employer would be held liable for these actions, and thus would have to deal with the issue and represent the employee in court. Further, the …show more content…
The restaurant produces food for its customers from raw ingredients that it services. This serves as a major risk for the business simply because sushi is a type of food that relies on raw fish as its primary ingredient. The chefs and owner must appreciate the importance of sourcing the raw materials from a qualified and certified source in order to guarantee the safety of the consumers that dine here. Employee negligence in sourcing the cooking ingredients can lead to major issues for customers, ranging from food poisoning, to viral and bacterial infections due to incorrectly managed inventory. This can create huge amounts of liability for the restaurant, as the same seafood is served to most if not all customers, leaving a large amount of consumers vulnerable to this risk. Sushi Niichi must not only seek to understand the source of the materials, but rather the entire supply chain of the food before it arrives in their kitchen. From supplier to inventory, transport, and ultimately Sushi Niichi, the entire supply chain is extremely relevant to ensure that the adequate standards are met in the product that this company is putting on the market. The main peril in this scenario would be that of employee negligence and/or supplier dishonesty. Finally, the last major area of risk that this company faces is that of financial insolvency. Because this small business would most likely need to

In many countries the state’s role in employment relations is not something that can be ignored. The state, which is characterized by a set of institutions made of the executive, legislature, the judiciary, the local government and the police, is a system of political domination that exercises power with the legitimate usage of violence, money supply and taxation. The presence of the state in any aspect of life of its citizens is pervasive, whether it is through macroeconomic policies or its role as an employer or even through legislation. In the capitalist world we live in today the state cannot be left out in any aspect pertaining to its citizens. The state (government) is applying policies on the basis that other

The Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970 states and ensures that all fast-food employees deserve to be trained on all the equipment and safety gear within the work sites and to get the relevant information about the potential hazards at the worksite.

To reduce the possibility of a lawsuit from the worker, the company will agree to cover the expenses and damages (Huet, 2015).

In franchise operations, the relationship can be even narrower. The facts and circumstances matter and not all cases come out the same way. In Viado v. Domino’s Pizza, LLC, in which Domino’s Pizza faced a $32M Verdict over a fatal pizza delivery accident that left a 65 year-old woman dead and her 70 year-old husband with un- reversible brain injuries. The driver was legally responsible, as well as the independent franchise store. And Domino’s was liable too, in part because the driver was speeding to meet Domino’s 30-minute delivery guarantee. The court said a franchisor like Domino’s can be responsible for the actions of a franchisee’s employee in some
Your honor, I would like to defend my company, TGI Friday’s, in case. The fact that Bernard ate the quesadilla to be a better waiter only establishes the injury occurred during the course of employment. TGI Friday waiters were encouraged to try new items on the menu to help give recommendations to patrons; this was not required. TGI Friday’s sets a high standard on the effectiveness on their recommendations to guests. If an employee has lacking on this, after being evaluated, “counseling” by management is the next step taken to help employees be able to assist and help patrons during their experience at the restaurant. “Secret shoppers” were also guests that assess the waiters’ performance. This is one reason that sampling all new products
