By removing previous service processes it enables customers to control their length of stay within the restaurant, this can affect table turnover either to the businesses advantage by decreasing wait times and increasing profits or to their disadvantage by over working the capabilities of the kitchen staff which can lead to the service becoming slow, difficult and leaving customers disappointed. It is important to get a good balance of both in order to ensure that the members of staff are not working below their capabilities due to a decrease in customers; this is because although it may make the staff effective, they would not be working efficiently due to output reducing (Goh, 2013).Furthermore this change of service process may also lead to customers queuing for an undetermined amount of time due to this freedom, implying that productivity within the finest catch has begun to weaken with less enthusiasm and input from staff resulting in a reduced output offered to customers (Heap, Dillon and Todd, 2014).

The complexity within the foodservice industry can often seems boundless.

September 1, 2017 I was hungry for some seafood around noon and wanted something exquisite in flavor at a huge quantity. The decision was made to tag along and join in on the atmosphere of Red Lobster seafood restaurant, when arriving there I was greeted with a welcome and a smile by an employee who had the title of hostess. The job of a hostess inquires taking guests to the proper seating in the restaurant for the most efficient dining experience for a mutual standing between guest and server with taking orders and food delivery timing. Since I went when the lunch crowd arrived I was placed on a wait for five minutes to get a table. The hostess got busy while searching for areas to be seated and the manager stepped in for assistance in finding guests to their tables and I was one of those (12:08 pm). After arriving at my table my waitress Debbie arrived to greet me with a

Once I stepped inside the restaurant I automatically could hear the music playing at a moderate level and the laughter of the customers.

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).
