Business owners need to have reliable service. It is important that the door is open for their customers, and that it is locked when the business is closed. It seems simple enough, but keys get lost or left behind. When a member of the business is scheduled to open the doors, and he is finds that he has lost his key, it is time to call the locksmith services company. They will be able to get to the business quickly, and get the door open. Time is important in business and it equates to money. The longer the doors are shut the less chance of making money. It is a good idea for a business to have a locksmith company on call for these types of emergencies. Each employee should have a list of emergencies numbers and a professional locksmith company's number should be included.

According to Robert Harley’s analysis of the McDonalds corporation, the restaurant chain did face diminished growth domestically as well in the foreign market. Relations with franchises detoriated as the corporate level of the company implemented policies that were doctorial. There was expansion of franchises with out consideration for the franchise that was already established and was rationalized as being done in the company’s best interest. (Hartley, 2014, p. 87) another major issue that was responsible for the decline in McDonalds U.S. restaurants was the menu.
