Selling Mexican food is a confirmed profitable business in Philadelphia. The traditional image of the restaurants, combined with the real taste of the recipes makes Mexican foods restaurants even more profitable. However, the competition is bigger comparing to other types of restaurants for the variety of restaurants offering Mexican food on the city. Las Cazuelas is a Mexican restaurant located on Girard Avenue, north Philadelphia, with 3 different rooms and more than fifteen recipes offered in lunch, dinner, brunch; and banquets. When I started working at Las Cazuelas, the restaurant was close to twenty years of Mexican food business. However, the management was concerned about the decrease on sells and started a plan to identify waste, optimize the restaurant defective processes and elevate sells again. After analyzing the market and costumer’s behavior …show more content…
Each lack factor was addressed and different strategies were designed:
• Lack of especial house made dishes offered: Working with the chef, the manager updated the restaurant menu introducing 7 new and unique dishes that costumers could only find in Las Cazuelas restaurant. For now on, costumers know that if they want to eat “Vulcan del Res” for example, Las Cazuelas would have a unique way to prepare it because the plate is specially made there.
• No Alcoholic drinks allowed: The restaurant segment was always Mexican food sell, but because customers were running away for not being able to consume alcohol the restaurant decided on adapt to the situation. Selling Alcohol would imply changes on storage and supply chain processes; it would also affect the order fulfillment process because employees would spend the food deliver time to serve drinks. So, Instead of selling alcohol the restaurant updated its policy to BYB (Bring Your own Bottle). Customers can now bring alcohol from outside and drink on the restaurant while they
Through the voice of Palo Alto, a mesquite tree, Elena Zamora O’Shea relates the story of one Spanish-Mexican family’s history, spanning over two hundred years, in South Texas, the area encompassing between the Nueces and the Rio Grande. As the narration of the Garcia’s family history progresses through the different generations, becoming more Mexican-American, or Tejano, peoples and things indigenous gradually grow faint. In her account of South Texas history, Elena devalues the importance and impact of Indians, placing a greater precedence on the Spanish settlers.
U.S. Latino literature is as important and historical as any other. We often refer and quote recent or current Hispanic authors but we forget that there is a whole timeline behind every word and idea. History itself was first of all recorded in people's minds and hearts and through oral tradition was it passed on, later marked through drawings and symbols and finally, and after thousands of years, reached formal written ground. This carriage of messages and form of expression evolved through time and the way it is delivered along with the language in it has too. We can see evidence of that in Latino literature, from the early accounts of explorers to the modern day authors who fight for the rights of humankind, it has an entire
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca is best known as the first Spaniard to explore what we now consider to be southwestern United States. His nine-year odyssey is chronicled within the book The Chronicle of the Narvaez Expedition. His account is considered especially interesting because it is one of the very first documents that illustrates interactions between American natives and explorers. However, when examining the exploration of the modern United States, there are many arguments that have to do with the entitlement to the land and the motivations behind settling in the first place. Most explorers were obviously in favor of their own conquests and Cabeza de Vaca is of course no exception. In Chronicle of the Narvaez Expedition, Cabeza de
“Las Papas” is the story about a single man with a child. The story starts in the kitchen where the man was going to cook a dinner for his son and himself. He was about to try out a new Italian recipe for “Chicken cacciatore”, when he received a disapproving remark regarding the dish from his son. Having heard this he suddenly recalls similar event that had happened when he was fifteen and disapproved his father’s cooking by calling it “too spicy”. At the same moment peeling and chopping potatoes he realizes that even though he was born and grew up in Peru, the place where a potato-papas originated, he doesn’t know much about the history of this magnificent vegetable which grows underground without seeing a light

In order to offer a viable platform in which restaurants can offer alcoholic beverages as part of their drink line, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has created a set of guidelines which establishments must utilize in order to initiate a more responsible service to the community. According to the TABC guidelines (2014) these guidelines should clear following national, state, and local laws when offering alcohol to patrons, such as ensuring that alcoholic beverage is only served to those over age 21 (checked if they appear to be under 30), a valid Texas driver’s license, or another valid identification must be used, and employees must refuse service to anyone that does not fit these criteria. However, there are also TABC guidelines (2014) which are state defined, such as the need to refuse service to anyone that appears to be intoxicated, prohibit employees from serving customers to the point of intoxication, offer mediation for intoxicated customers who wish to leave the premises in such a state, and adhere to the TABC certification regulations. A secondary goal, to this extent is also to meet the mixed beverage gross sales tax requirements at a rate of 6.7% after Jan.1, 2014 and 14% prior to Jan. 1, 2014, as well as the mixed beverage sales tax, which was implemented after Jan. 1, 2014. In order to draw more insight into the subject, the Olive Garden restaurant has looked up.
On Sundays after Mass- every single Sunday, Latinos gathered on parks to play soccer and have carne asada something that is very traditional in Mexican families my family could be an example of that.

Mark Danner, an editor for the New York Times magazine, recounts in The Massacre at El Mozote a horrific crime against humanity committed by a branch of the Salvadorian army. He gives multiple points of views and cites numerous eye witnesses to try and piece together something that has been tucked away by the government at the time. In December, of 1981, news reports were leaked to major newspapers in the united states about an atrocity committed and a total massacre of a hamlet in El Salvador, known as El Mozote, or the Thicket. At first, the account was of over a thousand civilians, women men and children with no guerrilla affiliation were massacred. Danner pieces together the testimonies of the survivors, and interviews with
Overall, our business did not do well. We lost quite a bit on our chicken quesadillas, mostly because of the low margin on the chicken quesadillas. Our group did not communicate, as one group member was not allowed to have any ideas. This group member would surely have priced the chicken quesadillas higher. We used a sign that showed the quesadillas, and it was very appealing to the buyers. Our product sold out by a long way, but the margin on the chicken quesadillas was not high enough to obtain a profit. The quesadillas were quality, but were made using cost effective means. Our surveys and the test day helped us to get our product out to the public, and to allow them to taste test it. The low price on the cheese and chicken quesadillas helped us draw more consumers, and the product, being real food that you would eat for a meal, also made it more appealing.
For this Business Strategy Report, I have selected a restaurant chain named Nando’s. It was established in 1987 by two friends, Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin (Nando’s.com, 2017). Although being a South African brand it has Portuguese influence and the restaurant chain depicts these designs. Nando’s specialty is flame-grilled chicken spiced with their unique selection of marinade sauces and spices ranging from mild to extra hot and for those individuals not into the hot stuff, there’s a lemon and herb option. It also has other selected food options to choose from in their attractive menu. Its niche market is working middle class male and female customers who enjoy spicy food and casual dining. It also caters for kids and families.
Don Quixote as written by Miguel de Cervantes is a fascinating story as it portrays fiction by subtly displaying it through realism. It is simultaneously a work of fiction and an analysis of fiction, or metafiction, meaning a fictional story revolving around a fictional story. The grand adventures and impossible things that happen are shown via the lens of a state of mind, rather than described as the actual events that are happening.
Choosing to study in UP Los Baños means having to live away from home and living in dormitories. Studying in UP Los Baños is not only a life of stressful nights of studying but it is also about surviving the whole week with only a hundred pesos in your pocket because you managed to spend your weekly allowance in one night.
The Don Quixote we know today, has changed a numerous amount of times. Not because of someone wanting to alter it, but the simple fact of Gadamer’s fusion of horizons. It’s simple, fusion of horizons is when one translates text from one language to another. The texts do not directly translate, so the translator will explain the text in a similar form. Because texts do not directly align, and translate, a new meaning can be formed. Thus is Gadamer’s fusion of horizons. Because of Gadamer’s fusion of horizons, Cervantes’ meanings could be completely different than what was intended. Many readers now believe Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in the form of a satire.
