Marketing as well as strategic planning is a key source of a profitable and successful business. Most companies and products fail due to a lack of knowledge of how to properly run a business effectively. Companies are so focused on designing and manufacturing new products that they postpone until too late in the game (Why Most Products Launches Fail pg. 2). The ideas are great, however, the thought process of how to succeed long term and adhering to the goals set are in most cases are not obtainable goals. A balanced approach in succeeding in an effective business is to have other entrepreneurs with similar perspectives in business ventures to share a valuable input of do’s and don’ts that made their company’s popular. Sharkey’s Gulf Grill that was located in Memphis, TN. was an upscale seafood restaurant with a great ambiance atmosphere. There were five reasons why the company did not stay in business long-term Quality Service, Pricing, Not Satisfying Customer’s Needs, and Poor Execution of Marketing and Mis-Management of the business.

Unfortunately it's not. Uninspired menu, small portions, Red Lobster quality hostess & wait staff, mish-mosh dull decor (what's with those huge captain’s chairs and high back Windsor chairs!) TVs visible from dining room, etc. Is this a restaurant or hang-out bar? Oysters some of the smallest I've ever seen. Pompano good but small portion & skin on which would have preferred not. Lobster bisque very good but on cold side and bowl not much bigger than cup. Wedge salad great. We stood at hostess station 5 min before scowled face hostess passed us off to be seated. I notice all the staff seemed unhappy. I'd say poor management. I've given Sharky's several chances but in that price range there's just too many other great
Starting a business, one may ask some questions to evaluate his or her ability to run a business successfully. An owner needs to question the finances, the challenges, the strengths, and weaknesses. First, the owners need to know finance: how much capital to startup business, what loans are available based on the business plan and financial statements, and how to keep up with profits and losses to determine the future of the business. Besides determining capital, the owners need to know what challenges they will face. Writing a well-executed business plan is the first challenge and important because it is a guideline to start business and to show lending institution or to attract investors for the business. Also, owners need to think who ideal customers are and who they can target to make a successful marketing strategy. Moreover, they have to think about their competitions because no business operates without competition whether it is direct or indirect. The competition has a significant impact on customer’s buying decisions. In order to compete with their competitors, they have to know their strengths and weaknesses: Are their products unique? Is the product better than the competitors’? Is the price
In summary, marketing is very important for a business to achieve success. Many businesses have a difficult time in this area. With the stiff competition, businesses struggle to stand out among others. Other companies resort in unethical and unfair schemes just to win the competition. But eventually find themselves in great loss and failure. As businesses all over the world enter into a gigantic marketplace, every business owner is faced with convoluted market competition. Nevertheless, any entrepreneur can be different and become successful in this matter. In every product sold and in every service provided, patience and hard work should take precedence to ensure quality. Products and services should be marketed honestly, planning should not be done with evil

There has been a great competition between restaurants now because restaurant like Outback Steakhouse which is infamous for their steak is now boasting seafood on their menu as one of their go-to dishes. However, it is not the same. The atmosphere doesn’t I have been to a lot of different restaurants that serve crab legs and shrimp, but I always end up with a smaller portion, poorer quality crab legs, smaller lobster tails and a higher bill. Not to mention there is so much to eat that I always have a take home bag at the end of our
Having lived on the beach in Charleston, SC for many years, I consider myself a seafood connoisseur and am always eager when a restaurant claims they serve “great” seafood.
We frequent the Brandon Bonefish Grill frequently throughout the year for a casual lunch, Sunday brunch or on special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries and enjoy it every single time. It is not your normal night out at a restaurant. It is an experience. From the moment you pull up out front, there is beautiful green tropical plants that make you feel you have left the hustle and bustle of the city, escaping to an exotic location. The hostess opens the big wooden door to greet you and as you walk in, a great tune is softly playing overhead. The bar and tables throughout the restaurant are full of people, laughing, having a good time and it feels like you have walked in to a friend or family member’s house. The entire restaurant smells
These restaurants are dine in restaurants that has better food quality, better services and better atmosphere. What’s in my mind is Red Lobster. Red Lobster is the medium level restaurant that I ate many times. It has a lot of seafood selections, they always cook the non-process materials. On their website, they says it is wild caught and sustainably farm-raised. The food are relatively fresh, a well designed menu gives you more food selection and combination. They also have more drinks to choose from including alcohol drinks. When you eating good food. You will also want a good place to sit. Red Lobster has the good seats for you. There are a lot booth seat in Red Lobster and the regular chairs will also be more comfortable than the McDonald chairs. There are also music in the background; classical music which makes you feel intimate and cozy. The whole arrangement of the restaurant is more complex than the cheap restaurant, they will have different sections of seats and different kinds of seat. While you are seating in a restaurant with good atmosphere, you will also want a good service. In Red Lobster, a waiter has several table need to do. The waiter will come up and ask what a do you want to drink; then your drink will brought by your waiter or waitress; after that they will take your order. You do not need to move to get your order, get your drink and get your food. While you are eating your meal,

Red Lobster is a casual dining seafood restaurant established in 1968 by Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby. The flagship restaurant opened in Lakeland, Florida and expanded in two years to four more locations in Florida. Darden’s goal was to supply customers without easy access to the coast with fresh seafood. In 1970, Darden sold Red Lobster to General Mills and continued as President until 1975. Red Lobster’s rapid expansion across the United States gave Red Lobster the notoriety as the first casual dining restaurant to reach a national market. The restaurant also became the first with national television advertisement. The popularity of a seafood restaurant in inland areas gave General Mills the
It was a tradition for us to go every Sunday and enjoy the delicious, fresh seafood. After a while the restaurant started losing customers & soon after they were shut down. We decided that we would carry on their legacy, taking some of their famous dishes and putting a spin on it. We now serve hundreds of people every day with the best seafood in the state. We handcrafted our menu to be centered on foods such as shrimp, lobster, crabs, salmon, and catfish. The Shrimp & Lobster Bar is one of the few places that have a sushi bar & and a mini bar for kids that do not like
The seafood selection at Quarterdeck Restaurant is outstanding. The Maine lobster is hearty and very filling.

Today’s market demands organizations to have a strategic plan. The purpose of the strategic plan describes where the organization wants their organization to go. A strategic plan is a document used to communicate goals, and the actions needed to achieve those goals.
