Morehead State University Dining Case Study

Industry: Demographic factors are favorable to the restaurant industry. Approximately 52% of the 1993 population in the area was 60 years of age or over. This was considered the restaurant’s main target market. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons. The climate was attractive for growing population of seniors. Land prices, housing, taxes, and utilities were affordable. With the average cost of an acre of industrial land in the Penticton area at $45000 in 1991, businesses were attracted to the area. Between 1984 and 1991, manufacturing

As any college student knows, the quality of a school’s dining hall is extremely important. To be successful as students, it is an absolute must that a student is strong and healthy. One of the keys to being strong and healthy is a healthy and balanced diet, filled with a variety of foods. At Drexel, we are being deprived of this necessity. While we do have a dining hall that is open for most of our day, actually eating there is an issue.

The organization selected for analysis and evaluation is American Lake Credit Union. This organization is composed of two main branches, both located in Tacoma, Washington. In contrast to banks, Credit Unions are smaller organizations and are directed by members who are selected via a vote to serve in an all-volunteer board of directors for the organization (Scott, and Johnston, p.2, 2011). Specifically, this credit union was founded in 1948 and has grown since then. (C. Fitzer, personal communication April 7, 2014). For instance, although the organization is small in size through a partnership with a credit union network, it is able to provide general financial services at diverse locations

Intermountain has also benefitted from an AA+ bond rating which reduces their borrowing costs. It is critical that the organisation maintains a healthy financial performance so as to retain the rating. A lower rating would add to their financial pressure.

Food plays an important role in our lives, especially in college. Food affects people financially, nutritionally, and educationally. The dining halls at Virginia State University are a major source of meals and food for students. Needless to say, it is important that those students can eat at these dining halls. The problem with this is that the cost of campus dining is way too expensive for the limited options we have.

When it comes to dining-in at a restaurant we all want the best service that we can get. When I think of “the best service” I think about the cleanliness, nice waitresses, good food, and affordable prices. There are so many different options when a family thinks about going out to eat, especially if they have small children. It’s often hard to go to a nice dine-in restaurant because sometimes it’s hard to find something on the menu for everyone in the family. I have experienced many things at two completely different restaurants. I can say Demos’ is better than Logan’s because the food and service is much better.

The Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In was a civil rights event that occurred in 1960. Young African-American college students staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. They refused to leave the diner after being denied service. The sit-in movement soon spread to college towns throughout the South. Many protesters were arrested for trespassing, disorderly conduct, or disturbing the peace. The actions of a few made an immediate and long lasting impact which forced Woolworth’s and other businesses to change policies of segregation.

* From the e-Activity, evaluate at least two companies’ financial statements that have received a negative rating from one of the financial rating agencies. Determine which financial ratios most likely impacted the rating decision. Compare and contrast at least two financial ratios that support the rating agency's claims. Speculate on how the ratios are likely to change considering the economic environment in which it

The efforts and dedication to the Hispanic growth strategy is reflected in the percentage increase shown in the Credit Union Growth Stage.

Based on Coopera’s Best Practice Index, Kern Schools Federal Credit Union is at 62% which is within the Emerging stage.

Question With established locations in both Canada and the U.S., the Earls Kitchen and Bar locations are known for their open, urban contemporary atmosphere. In today’s hypercompetitive market in the upper casual restaurant segment, Earls Kitchen and Bar must continually expand and differentiate itself. Currently, they must decide whether they should have a consistent napkin offering in both the U.S. and Canada or remain different. Context Macroeconomic Overview Background of Upper Casual Restaurant Segment Economic Issues Economic, social and environmental issues are the main factors influencing the upper casual restaurant segment. In the U.S., it is predicted there will be a 2 percent decline for full-service restaurants, resulting in no-growth traffic for the industry (QSR magazine, 2017).

As a greatly motivated member of the Brockway Dining Hall staff, I am very interested in possibly becoming a supervisor.

Physical and technology aspects from Material culture shape every environment, such as Pearson’s Dinning Hall. Material culture is the physical modification of objects, spaces, and resources used to define specific cultures. Pearson Dinning Hall displayed many aspects of material culture, such as the clothes worn by people, furniture, and the detailed signs displayed throughout the space. Clothes are not just a way for a person to express their individuality, but they can also display the type of role a person plays in the society. For Instance, inside Pearson there were many different styles, from casual to professional, clothing worn. Most classes do not require students to wear professional clothing to class. Thus, many students were wearing

While working at Watterson Dining commons, I have maintained an exemplary disciplinary record, and I have not received any write ups or infractions. While maintaining an exemplary disciplinary record, I have also maintained a great attendance record. Throughout working at the Watterson Dining Commons, I have only missed work twice, but I did have a sub and both times were due to factors beyond my control. As far as job performance I have improved since my last performance review, and I always done my best to help the customers get what they would like. A time that I went above and beyond my job was one day that I was called over to help close the dishroom, after the dishroom, I returned to help my normal venue close even when I could have left.
