Issues which range from age discrimination, when hiring employees, to sexual harassment to unfair pay practices of compensating its servers. Food service businesses can be negatively impacted by litigations and complaints of operating issues stemming from one restaurant or a limited number of restaurants. Adverse publicity about these allegations introduce negative impacts, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging guests from eating at the restaurants.

This industry receives no government assistance and the level of regulation is high. Franchising operations are regulated through Federal and State Governments. A federal regulation that has greatly impacted this industry is the recent increase in minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25. This of course means that the employment costs for establishments will significantly rise. In addition to this many states have enacted a minimum wage that is even higher than the federal rate. Currently seventeen states, including New York, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington, have enacted this regulation (Basham 17). And lastly, another compensation issue that continues to arise is the issue of healthcare.

The trend is showing that ethnic restaurants look more prone to being hit with health code violations then, say McDonalds or any other fast food or national chain and this is to be believed that those owners from different backgrounds and culture have different practices and how they store items because in some countries the lack of electricity and with the practice of open markets and bazars. These practices are to then brought to the United States and are then used. With these types of cultural clashes patrons need to remember to make sure the establishment they are eating at is up to all codes and haven’t had any violations in previous

The first choice of business is the franchise. In a franchise, legal binding agreement is entered into between two firms, the franchisor (the product or service owner) and the franchisee (the firm to market the product or service in a particular location). The franchisee pays a certain sum of money for the right to market this product” (Rubin, 1978, p.224). The franchising is more prevalent in the restaurant industry (Hoffman & Preble, 2003). The two distinct features of this business type include; first, in order to notable service components should

The U.S. Government could use the Commerce Clause against the restaurant to correct the situation. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act was passed, which prevented discrimination against African-Americans. The restaurant was discriminating African-Americans by only allowing them to take their food to go and not being allowed to eat inside the restaurant. Prior to the 1964 Civil Rights Act nothing could have been done as it was left up to the states to deal with these types of issues. Now his type of issue would fall under an Equal Protection violation. The Commerce allows the federal civil rights legislation to regulate restaurants. Because the restaurant was not treating their customers equally the federal government could press charges against

This article highlight the issue of wage encountered by the people working in fast-food. In fact, the amount of money that can be received in an hour by waiters, waitress, bartenders or busboys pegged only 29,38 % of the minimum wage. Some protests to raise their salaries has been done but it didn’t change the situation. The tipped minimum wage law has fail due to random or meager tips. When Bill Moyers spoke with Saru Jayaraman, co-founder of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, he expresses his discontent about the topic.

Naturally, a mall with eclectic cultural restaurants and stores will attract a wide array of people, but now, while walking around UV, the only people that students will encounter are other USC students. This is how the removal of the international food court further reduces diversity in the surrounding area. Additionally, small business owners were largely responsible for the operation of the establishments at the international food court. Members of the community staffed the restaurants, and more often than not, those employees were selling food from their own diverse culture. Now that USC students on work study are responsible for staffing most of the restaurants in the village, another piece of cultural diversity has been lost. Additionally, revenue at these establishments can no longer enrich the lives of community members, but instead will go straight to the corporate chain restaurants that exist now. In sweeping out the authentic, one of a kind small businesses of the food court, USC showed little regard for supporting cultural diversity. Not only does this wipeout of various small businesses tend to attract a less diverse customer base, but the higher prices also reduce the

In fast food nations we’ve been reading about the fast food industry and how there’s uniformity, conformity, and centralized control and how we, the individual, are involved. When reading this one realizes that they, as an individual, plays a major role when it comes to the business. Not only does this apply to the hard and complex system that is the “fast food nation” but it also applies to outside that. Since “social norms” became a thing, and since people started losing “individualism”, there has been uniformity, conformity, and centralize control as we see not only in the book we’re reading, but in our other given texts, such as in the article “Why we don’t complain”, “OTHER ARTICLE NAME THAT I CAN’T REMEMBER BECAUSE IT’S IN MY BAG”, and “OTHER ARTICLE NAME HERE, I’LL LOOK AT IT IN THE MORNING, I’M SORRY MS.NOWAK, IT’S ALMOST 11 AND I WANT TO SLEEP”

Even though Daddy’s Dogs operates its business more like a food truck in the way that they provide higher quality food and customer experience, the business still has to adhere to the strict laws that govern food carts and stands. These governances also play into the weakness of not being able to sell their hot dogs anywhere Daddy’s Dogs sees fit. Bars and restaurants have restricted the sale of outside food on their property, so the company has had to find creative ways to avoid breaking the law by renting out parking spaces or selling outside of businesses not surrounded by food service places. By creatively combating threats and weaknesses Daddy’s Dogs has been able to minimize its impacts even if it mean more work and effort on the company’s

An immigrant brings multiculturalism. This is because culture diversity can be reconciled with national identities which contribute different ways of art, language, traditions and behaviours. This can be analysed in the following. First of all, immigrants are associated ethnic diversity and cosmopolitan in their eating habits. For instance, According to Liu and Jang (2009 , cited in Mazzolari & Neumark, 2012, pp. 1134,1135) data collected from chinese restaurants in midwestern us city ,the coustomer of Caucasian were 60.2% while, Asion were 32.0%. Furthermore,Indian restaurant in Minneapolis/St.Paul. the customer of white american were 75% and 12% of customer were South Asian (Josiam and Monteiro,2004, p. 1134). From this evidence, it can be seen that ethnic restaurants simply serve new immigration from corresponding ethnic group and also expand natives’ consumption choices. The locals of

On Sunday, September 6, 2015, at approximately 1915 hours, I, Officer Juan Virella, was contacted by Ameer Heyward (Operations Supervisor-Food Services) to conduct a stand audit at Dockside Fries. I immediately notified Sergeant Frank Long (Investigations Sergeant), who then instructed Officers Cassidy, Rankin, Summey and I to proceed to the location and conduct the Stand Audit. The Stand Audit produced $47.53 in various locations including under the register, in the freezer and in the wine box. After updating Sergeant Long on the status of the Stand Audit, we were instructed to conduct Compliance Verifications and interview all Associates working at Dockside Fries.

The next case, which is also still going through the system, concerns itself with the supposed abuse of four franchise owners by 7-Eleven’s main office. The four franchise owners are Indians who felt that they were being labeled incorrectly. When they had informed the main office of their supposed mistake, 7-Eleven had labeled them as “Independent Contractors” based on the degree of control SEI exercised over store operations, including regulation of vendors and product supply, franchise payroll processing, control over franchising, bookkeeping and accounting, and alleged intense daily oversight by SEI market and zone managers.
