The Food Service Industry Has Gone Through Many Changes Over The Years

The study begins by explaining how much the residents of Gourmand love good food. They love food so much that that over time, a commission of distinguished chefs had decided that not any one should be capable of opening up a restaurant. If a restaurant was to be open, a chef would have to have 21 years of training, attend a prestigious school, and obtain a license to become a chef. These guidelines would ensure that when a resident would go to a restaurant, the food would be good. The first-class quality of food consequently rose the prices of restaurant meals to become very expensive.

Major labor-saving technological changes of the 20th century gave rise to the industrial processing of food. In the 1950’s and 60’s we saw a rise of supermarkets and the spread of fast-food eateries.

The majority of Americans enjoy fast food like bees enjoy their honey. Fast food is hard not to love due to families experiencing fast paced days, parents who work more than 20 hours a week, and having children with picky appetites can be rough. For most American families, it can be a challenge to not consider eating fast food more than once a week. The fast food industry has grown tremendously through the years. The one restaurant that is known all over the world for their golden arches and their big macs is McDonalds. With knowledge and personal experiences, I can say that McDonalds is by far the worst fast food restaurant in America. I believe this due to how unhealthy the food is for our bodies, the disturbing facts about the happy meals, the poor service, and the non-cleanliness of the restaurant.

The fast food industry has grown over the past years, and now a new type of food service has arise in the form of gas stations. Wawa and Sheetz are these new dominators, who strive on providing quick service and great food. Since these are success stories, other gas stations have tried to replicate these companies but have not struck the consumer as much as Wawa and Sheetz. The consumer fanbase for each company is extreme. Fans of Wawa have been known to get the logo tattooed on their biceps, and fans of Sheetz call themselves “sheetzfreaks” and sometimes linger on the vicinity into the early morning hours. Both of these companies have excelled and this paper aims to examine why this has occurred, particularly examining the PR practices of

It is common understanding that you cannot have a business if you do not have customers to buy the product you produce or services you deliver; therefore customer is an integral part of every business.

Fast Food Nation is an attempt to link the American eating style and food-production patterns. Fast Food Nation is written by Eric Schlosser, he presents a perspective on the development of societies adapting to the way that food is produced. The quickly growing demand for hot, ready food was rising at substantial rates shortly after World War two. Schlosser states, “The McDonald brothers’ Speedee Service System revolutionized the restaurant business.” The McDonald brothers wanted to perfect the drive-in restaurant business and started their very own walk-up restaurant. They sold burgers, fries, and soft drinks that were available almost before the customer ordered. By increasing the demand for fast food, supplies began to be

It is evident that Schlosser has gone to a great extent and done an amazing job researching and studying the fast food industry. Schlosser addresses the history of the fast food industry and further explains how it took off after the end of world war two.

Food production has begun to evolve in the age of French around 1793, with modern food service known as a commercial activity. It was categorized by two; the era of culinary careme and the era of culinary with Escoffier.

First, Schlosser and Wilson describe the history of fast food. Everything started with a fifteen-year-old boy named Charlie Nagreen at a county fair squishing a meatball between two slices of bread, creating the hamburger. The authors then go on to talk about how McDonald’s was the first restaurant to introduce a quick system for customers to get their food. After seeing the success of the McDonald brothers, a businessman named Ray Kroc made a deal with them to travel the country, spreading the chain. Later, Ray Kroc would buy McDonald’s from the McDonald brothers. When other restaurants, such as Wendy’s and Burger King, saw the success of McDonald’s, they began to do the same thing, having a chain of identical restaurants across the United States. Not only did restaurants adopt this idea of complete sameness, but so did other companies such as

Fast food started the whole industrial food production, our number one fast food corporation is McDonald’s. In today’s society the top four companies control over 80% of the market. Companies like Tyson, Cargill, Swift & Co, and National Beef Packing Co. all own their product in some form from beginning to the end product. Example: Tyson owns their own chickens which can be grown in 49 days rather than 3 months. Which means more mass productions, more risks to the animals and to the workers. The end result is more money which is

They created a new system where the restaurants had no dishwashers, waiters or carhops. Most of the foods that they served were edible without the use of silverwares, including burgers and milkshakes. This new restaurant system was cheaper and faster to produce food than other restaurants around during that time, so people were able to buy cheap food in less time. Although this was hard for people to get used to waiting and getting food for themselves, it became popular because of the cheap prices and the fast pace of the food that was distributed.

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.
