Collaborators
JKK fostered relationships with several organizations such as Stratford Chefs School, Anishnawbe Health Toronto, and St. Francis Table to help grow their impact. The market for collaboration on sustainability is full of possibilities, with companies will to help each other reach a common goal. Companies such as the Calgary based LEAF work to help restaurants become more environmentally efficient (SOURCE).
Consumers
JKK squarely aligns with a high yield market segment capitalizing on the Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) focusing on environmental sustainability and consumers who value ‘green’ trends in business (SOURCE). With the number of eco-friendly restaurants continuously expanding, the bargaining power of the consumer is gaining strength. However, despite this growth in power, when considering products that are environmentally sustainable focused, 3 out of 4 consumers are willing to pay more (SOURCE). This allows JKK to choose organic sourcing alternatives, which may be more expensive but still maintain profitable margins. Brand Transparency and providing education about your service
Introducing an environmentally friendly way of purchasing foods that also tackles the current organic, fresh and healthy food trend, ZWM plans to win market share by having existing consumers in the market-place change their purchasing behaviour. The way in which the company plans to achieve this is by triumphing over their opposition through a strong environmental platform, which appeals to the conscious of their clients. ZWM also plans to bring a fundamentally new idea to a what is a saturated food
If you have had the opportunity to visit or live in Vancouver, then you aware of the incredibly sustainable practices that are used across the city, especially when compared to the rest of the world. The label of sustainability can give our city the ability to represent and define how our future as a globe can sustain itself by using the right practices. Although Vancouver is known for its beautiful mountains, scenery and outdoor activities, it is also known for its organically grown produce and furthermore, dining experiences. With recourses of locally grown, fresh and organic products delivered across BC, it allows for dining experiences to have healthier options, incredibly unique experiences and encourages local business growth across BC regions. For this assignment, I decided to use Boston Pizza for my sustainability review, located on Marine Drive in North Vancouver. There are Boston Pizza’s located all throughout North America as the restaurant is a franchise. A privately owned restaurant will follow an operation that works best for them, how they run their restaurants and make decisions is only presented under that one restaurant. A franchised restaurant will run an operation, however their operation will be mirrored in every restaurant that carries the name. With the responsibility of a franchise on an owners back, their overall decision to change sustainability practices within their restaurant will not come easy. The biggest problem with
Grey Plume is a sustainable restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska. They are the “First Restaurant in the world to meet the SustainaBuild™ Standard, First 4-Star Sustainabuild™ Certified Green Restaurant®, First Certified Green Restaurant® in Nebraska, One of the Nation’s Greenest Restaurants, One of the Nation’s Most Sustainable Restaurants.” They are encouraging people to not waste food. They are also showing them how to properly use food instead of blindly encouraging them to cook their own meals. The Grey Plume Team visits all of the farms and growers to make sure the farms are sustainable and waste free. When meals are ordered they prepare them right there instead of guessing on how much will be sold and preparing it the night before. This saves

Environmental pollution is an issue because McDonald’s restaurant in America produces 238 pounds of waste per day each while its regional distribution centre 900 pounds per day (Svoboda & Hart, 1995). Annually, it produces over a million tons of packaging (McSpotlight.org: Environment).
The Boston area has a dense population and a unique culture that combines the best of a major city with the unique culture of the eastern seaboard. Bostonians love to eat and love to explore foods that offer them something different from the norm. This proposal will explore the possibility of opening a restaurant that is based on a unique niche, which at this point remains unfulfilled in the Boston area. The government and other organizations have launched campaigns to make Americans more health conscious about what they eat and to make them aware of their activity levels during the day. This proposal explores the potential of opening a restaurant that features organic, all natural
Sustainability and green marketing are strategies that are vital to put in place and implement accordingly for businesses that are looking beyond temporary financial gains. Whole Foods Market is an example company that has embarked in sustainable and green marketing and it is paying off. From the company’s history, no one can dispute the fact that the company is in good
Joe Smith, CEO for UWEAR and PALEDENIM and Bill Bateman, CEO for Peninsula Hotel sparked up a on and off the job friendship. Both Joe and Bill met each other earlier to develop a contract between UWEAR and Peninsula Hotel to design uniforms for Peninsula Hotel that is ran by Bill Bateman. During the course of developing the contract Joe and Bill have molded a friendship and in time they started to go to quite a few unrelated events and getaways with their families to relax. By doing things together certainly didn’t put a strain on the friendship on or off the job, but they now have a contract on the line and it needs to be given due consideration. Now Joe will have to give thought on what the ethical results will be of Bill’s recommendation of a getaway with the families and see if it could possibly damage the business in any way or interrupt the existing contract proceedings. In the meantime Joe and Bill has established a friendship as soon as they signed the first contract and they made sure business came before pleasure. In all of this I don’t believe that their friendship and going on getaways will hurt the contract proceedings. In all this Joe will not shriek his job duties and will always keep up with what has to be done. By accepting the trip on the yacht with Bill should not interfere or harm the business in any way. Joe ought to politely accept Bill’s invitation.
“There is a growing body of literature on consumers’ purchasing and consumption of organic foods. We examine the literature in three areas: profile of organic food consumers; major factors affecting purchase and consumption of organic foods; and barriers to organic purchase and consumption.” V. Aslihan Nasir and Fahri Karakaya (2014) researched the underlying motives of why people purchase organic food. They found that most “consumers believe that the nutritional
According to Harper & Makatouni, (2002), an ethical or consumer is ecologically and purchase products that are environmental friendly and not harmful to the environment or society. This shows that environmental friendly products that produce won’t give any negative affect to environment such as air pollution, land pollution and etc. According Millock et al. (2004) claimed that good environment and animal welfare attitudes influence organic food choice to a lesser extent that the attitudes towards taste, freshness and health aspects of organic food. These findings suggest that organic buyers also
Reducing food waste that can otherwise be reused is an important aspect of sustainability. Sustainability is important to the well-being of the earth and gaining more notice among consumers, therefore sustainability is of importance to managers in all areas of business, including hotel restaurant managers. The scope of food waste within restaurants and specifically the amount created by hotels, is important to take notice of and begin creating plans to remedy. By combining different methods being used and tested in the hotel industry, hotel brands such as McMenamins have a greater chance of successful food waste reduction. Focusing on ways to reuse and compost food that would otherwise be wasted will not only help McMenamins to save money associated with food waste, but also improve the company’s image which will positively affect the company’s bottom line.

This draft is intended to provide an overview and a quick summary of a market analysis for an all organic dine in and drive through restaurant located in a population metro area. The following categories will be included.
In order for advertising to be effective for the organic food market the advertiser first must have an understanding of the consumer needs. In today’s society there is more information available for consumers, and this is shaping their understanding of the products they are buying. According to the Journal of Advertising this concept seems even more prevalent because of “the green market for ‘green’ products and, in particular, organic food products, where exponential growth has recently been observed.” (Ioannis, Carlson, & Muehling, 2014). This would account for United States sale growth of over 400 million dollars annually with the help of over 300 certified organic products annually. Organic marketers do not see this trend slowing down anytime
Nevertheless, the food and beverage industry has been relatively less affected when compared to other industries. This is mainly attributed to the fact that food products continue to be essential to consumers in spite of the slowdown. A comparison between the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones US Food and Beverage Index in 2008 is testimony to the resilient nature of this industry. In 2008, the S&P 500 declined 37.6 percent against a fall of 22.9 percent by the Dow Jones US Food and Beverage Index. (IMAP, 2010). Second, people are becoming more health-conscious and are now demanding nutritious products in which Nestle has the capability to produce. Company’s response to these major opportunities is superior. However, reputational attack initiated by Greenpeace could damage Nestle’s franchise value and could result in loss of business and consumer trust. My analysis of the surrounding opportunities and threats is presented in tabular form below:
