Quiznos Went Out of Business in Rexburg

Everybody has a favorite place to eat. Eating out can be a very pleasant experience or a disastrous one. People are free to choose from a wide range of different restaurants where to spend time and have a meal. Although, not all restaurants are the same and each has different characteristics regarding class, interior, cuisine and service. This paper provides a comparison of 4 different restaurants (fast food, casual, upscale): McDonald’s, Panda Express, Applebee’s and Delmonico’s.

I give this restaurant extremely high marks for producing a quality product.” Another bonus is that the restaurant is very popular, meaning the food is in high demand. Therefore the food that is already out doesn’t have time to get old and stale. But consumers don’t just want great tasting food in any amount; they want enough to fill them up until the time comes for their next meal.

What differs a good restaurant from a great one is whether or not the restaurant gives their customers an enjoyable experience at their restaurant. The complete, enjoyable experience had at a restaurant is defined by several factors. A restaurant that is worth the time, money, and calories has a lively atmosphere that helps facilitate open and meaningful conversation, staff that is willing to go the extra mile, and a menu of reasonably priced food that looks appealing and tastes even better.

Cleanliness is especially important for women; no one wants to go into a restroom that has nasty, unsanitary toilets. Having a nice waitress is a big impact on a family’s dining experience. If you have a rude waitress, it ruins the whole meal. If you have a family, affordable prices are convenient because you don’t have to worry about leaving the restaurant broke! Lastly, good food, it makes or breaks your dining experience. This is mainly good for women seeking delicious and cheap meals for their families.

reasons why this restaurant is so successful is the fact that people who eat here enjoy the

The criteria are important for deciding whether a restaurant is of better quality. Furthermore, criteria are necessary for the argument behind the restaurant that is chosen as the best. Food quality, respectable service, reasonable price, and atmosphere were chosen as the criteria. Without the criteria, anything could go wrong. Someone could be driving down the road and choose to eat at a restaurant that resembled a shack. Maybe the person choosing the restaurant thinks it will be a nice and rustic, but the restaurant’s atmosphere is all wrong; the place is a total mess. The customer receives their food, and their meat is green. Food poisoning or worms could result from this atrocious meal. There is a parasitic disease called trichinosis that could result from eating raw or uncooked meat. Let’s say that the food was actually fine, but the service was terrible. The food arrived late and the smelly waiter had a sassy attitude. A whole day could be ruined. The customer could be late to the occasion they had to make after the meal due to their food arriving late. Furthermore, the customer will be in a terrible mood from receiving back talk from the waiter. This kind of instance could affect other people as well. Maybe the customer had to go meet up with friends or family after the meal. Now, the customer would be in a bad mood, causing all of the others to also be in a bad mood. As you can see, criteria become very important in choosing which restaurant to eat

The moderate growth rate of the restaurant industry results in many competitive rivalries and the nature of business allows customers to switch freely. Therefore, among porter’s five forces, the pressures from substitute products tend to drive the most competition in the restaurant industry today (Restaurant 2015). In addition, restaurants face the threat of customer’s ability to choose other leisure activities such as going to the movies, bowling, or other social outings (Restaurant 2015). To effectively compete under such conditions, restaurants are heavily investing in brand building to create customer loyalty. Another trending strategy used to increase customer returns is servicing beyond food and beverages; restaurants are heavily investing in providing individualized, memorable and entertaining

The nature of the products and services provided in the restaurant industry are based on customer satisfaction with the food and services that each location provides. Providing a selection of delicious and well-presented food made with quality ingredients that are simple and good tasting is exactly what the customer wants. Most customers go to restaurants to meet with others socially in a friendly environment. Making sure the restaurant is clean, attractive, and the décor is consistent with the food and restaurant’s image and making sure the waiting staff knows that it is ok to allow customers to linger adds to

For a year, I worked at a fast food restaurant called Rubio’s Baja Grill. When I started there, the restaurant had opened in Peoria, Arizona, where I am from. When working at Rubio’s, I did cash handling and operation of cash register, served food to customers, stocked all items and took inventory, helped prepare food, cooked food, and bussing and cleaned tables, floors, and dishes. For being a Mexican place that sold fish and was by the popular Lake Pleasant, it was always a busy place, but always understaffed. With this facility understaffed, it meant we had to work twice as hard to make sure the place was in the proper condition or we would have an inspection again a week later. Peoria has very strict food and beverage laws that had to be

As a guest who is going to dine out in an average restaurant, I am not expecting anything special. However, every restaurant has to be clean and have some kind of service. The food should be tasty and appealing; the menu has to be clean and easy to navigate. The good service doesn't make the food tastier, but it can increase the guest's satisfaction and overall experience at the restaurant. When the atmosphere is good the customer will desire to stay longer. To be honest, I love eating out, trying new dishes and spending time in a good place. Sometimes you just want to

In a current menu from the fast food restaurant, Raising Cane’s, it lists everything that they have to offer since they opened on August 26, 1996. Since opening in Louisiana, Raising Cane’s has become a fast food chain restaurant, where they have 14 total locations in Ohio and are constantly growing. The menu, in most cases, is one of the first things that the customer sees and therefore, should grab the attention of the customers. In the Journal of Foodservice Business Research, Michael McCall and Ann Lynn state “Indeed, the menu outlines your strategic marketing plan and serves as the first impression for a customer” (440). This shows that the menu is an extremely important part of a restaurant because it lays out what the restaurant has

On February 8, 2016, Chipotle temporarily shut down all their restaurants to have a food-safety meeting. Chipotle had a foodborne illness outbreak including E. coli and the managers knew they had to do something about it. Sales were plummeting and the corporation had loyal customers, very unhappy. The meeting not only addressed the food safety issue, but the co- CEOs of Chipotle, Steve Ells and Monty Moran, also wanted to thank all their employees and encourage them. The CEOs (the managers) made a great impact on Chipotle by closing the stores for a few hours because it worked in the end. Chipotle chose this path because they would address the problem head on instead of letting the problem go. They chose an accommodative strategy of acting responsibly to the problem. Chipotle also made this decision because if their customers saw that they closed their store to have a food safety meeting, it shows they’re trying to fix the problem, educate their workers in hopes that the customers would return.

Today, I stand outside that same restaurant, saddened by its dilapidated state. The bright blue paint that had twinkled in the sun years ago, now sat in front of me dull and lifeless. I remember smiling at the people through the windows as a kid, but now the windows stared back at me in darkness.

The analysis done at 5% significance lever show that overall customer satisfaction was significantly related to average meal price and the type of restaurant. The regression equation show that an increase in meal expenditure means the more the customer is satisfied. The multiple regression equation indicates that Italian customer is more satisfied compared to seafood restaurant.

The paper presents an analysis of the different factors influencing the restaurant industry and how these factors increase or decrease the demand for such services. The hypothesis that will be examined is that the performance of restaurants is mostly based on the type of food chosen by customers when they decide to go out for dinner, lunch, breakfast, or simply for a snack. What type of food refers mainly the nationality or concept of the food, (traditional American, Italian, Indian, Latin, or from any other type of culture). This factor is important because when customers go out to for dinner; they decide what to eat before deciding where to eat. That is why this factor is considerably important according to the hypothesis.
