Taco Bell Company Essay

It’s hard to believe there are five problems with In-N-Out Burger because of how successful the company is and how delicious the burgers are. Well at least that what I heard, one of my friends that moved to California confessed to me that the reason he moved was because he loved In-N-Out Burger’s. But as I began to read I found more than five devastating problems that the Snyder family encountered as pioneers of the fast food business.

• On August 1, 1996, Taco Bell and Kraft announced the formation of a license agreement for Kraft to manufacture and distribute Taco Bell-branded taco shells in grocery stores.

I learned about the Chick-fil-A Franchise Opportunity through my own personal research. I began to research an opportunity with Chick-fil-A when I purchased my home in Elgin and found myself driving to Austin to enjoy Chick-fil-A with my children every Saturday.

Chick-fil-A is known to be closed on Sundays. That is a policy that they have started with and are continuing to pursue. No matter the back lash they have gotten for it, they have stood behind their beliefs.

I decided to sample their tacos, which were small street tacos, to see how the two cultures differed in terms of taste and cohesion with the tortilla and lime. At first look, the tacos looked very delicious and prepared very well that complimented their smell. The chicken curry and chicken 65 tacos were my first dishes to be eaten as they looked and smelled authentic and delicious. The chicken curry taco was very satisfying to my taste buds as the curry brought the spice and the taste and juice of the lime kicked it up a notch. Chicken curry is a common food that is typically eaten in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Chicken curry would, usually, never be put with a Mexican dish as it is usually served by itself with some potatoes and or rice. The next taco that I ate was the chicken 65 taco, which is also a common Indian delicacy. This taco was very spicy as chicken 65 is commonly prepared with many spices. As with the chicken curry taco, this dish was very pleasing and delicious as the spice of the chicken 65 blended amazingly with the tortilla and lime. Chicken 65 originates from the city of Chennai, India but its name has many different theories as to where it comes from. People claim to say that the name, chicken 65, comes from the way that the food is prepared and cooked. They claim that when chicken 65 is being cooked, it gains its spice by being mixed with 65 red peppers and other spices. Others claim that it comes from the number that this dish was given on the original menu in 1965 at the Buhari Hotel restaurant. Overall, these Mexican-Indian dishes tasted very delicious and looked very authentic. The third taco that I decided to taste and sample was the barbacoa taco. This taco was very delicious as it is a common Mexican dish usually served with pico de gallo and other spices. After eating all of the tacos, I can gladly say I very much enjoyed the

Keeping up with the Mexican culture was their menu. All the recipes are from the family passed down over many years. The original El Banditos was opened in 1969 in Des Moines, IA showing off their unique recipes and style. Everything is handmade and many ingredients are from local vendors around here. Their menu consisted of classic Mexican dishes such as chips and salsa or guacamole, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, soups, and much more. They also served Mexican style breakfast food which I have not seen before which I found very interesting. In addition to a colorful menu of food, they

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Southerners are crazy about it! Chicken is an iconic meal, from grandma 's kitchen to fast food restaurants. Sometimes grandma 's home cooked chicken is not always readily available, so what is the next best option? This is my review of two very popular fast food chains, the main item on each menu is none other than chicken. These two restaurants go by the name Chick-fil-A and Zaxby 's. Chick-fil-A has a bit of an interesting story, with the franchise being very comfortable with the Christian faith. Because of this, all locations are closed on Sundays and holidays. Information from their website shows that Chick-fil-A cares for its community and is involved in several fundraisers for churches and schools. Zaxby 's observes normal hours and does not really take part in community events. I visited the Chick-fil-A over on Harris Lane in Bessemer, Alabama at around noon. This Chick-fil-A just opened a few years back and has been very popular since. On a different occasion, I visited the Zaxby 's just a few miles down the road from Chick-fil- A, located on Academy Drive. The website describes Zaxby 's as a “chain eatery serving up fried chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches, and other American comfort eats”. These two competitors offer very similar menu options, but completely different environments. Although Chick-fil-A has better customer service, Zaxby 's has tastier food and an overall better ambiance.

Chick-Fil-A is an American food restaurant franchise having its head office in Georgia, USA. The company was established in 1946 and has gradually entrenched itself in the American food industry as a cultural icon in the Southern United States for its specialty in preparation of chicken sandwiches. Chick-Fil-A prides itself for the establishment of over1690 branches located within the United States alone as well as its economic contribution to the larger part of Western America and California. It realized sales of around $4.6 billion in 2012, which reflected a 14 percent increase over the overall performance experienced in the previous year by the chain while the same-store sales performance increased by 8 percent. In Houston, Texas, the greatest performer realized a 7.2 million total gross sales in 2012. Chick-Fil-A uses a significantly distinct model, notable in the retention of the ownership of each restaurant since its acquisition. Chick-Fil-A selects the most suitable restaurant location, undertakes its construction, then takes over its ownership. Chick-Fil-A requires a payment of only a $5,000 as capital to become an owner of their branch while its rival franchises pay almost $2 million. The company receives over 15, 000 submissions annually from interested franchise operators for the available 70 slots. Chick-Fil-A receives a bigger allocation of income in comparison to other chains amounting to $190,000 per year. Chick-Fil-A’s solid mission statement and its
