...Burger Machine Relevant information on the product, the market, and the competition: COMPANY PROFILE In 1981, Ms. Fe Esperanza S. Rodriguez and her sister came up with an idea of converting mini buses into selling vans patterned after mobile food vans in the United States. Her family’s liking of burgers gave her the idea of conceptualizing a unique way of serving burger sandwiches to people in the most economic, fast, & convenient way. On January 11, 1981, two van type outlets were opened in the Rodriguez gasoline stations located along Aurora Blvd. and EDSA corner Julia Vargas. Burger Machine started with an initial capital of P40, 000 and with 20 people working in shifts for 24 hours daily. Burger Machine’s schedules mark the company as “ the burger that never sleeps.” In 1982, its third outlet opened. The business was an instant hit. The owners attributed it to the restaurant-quality food at street-level prices and the popularity of hamburgers to Filipinos. It was Burger Machine who introduced the first “cheesedogs.” It started when a regular customer ordered a slice of cheese to his order of regular hotdog. Likewise in 1981, the familiar dwarf you see in every Burger Machine van was introduced to the public. It was only in 1988 when he was finally given a name in a contest, BURGER BART. In 1990, the Corporate Office in EDSA started and was called EDSA Business Unit. It was also in this year when the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department...

...Market Research Definition: The process of gathering, analyzing and interpreting information about a market, about a product or service to be offered for sale in that market, and about the past, present and potential customers for the product or service; research into the characteristics, spending habits, location and needs of your business's target market, the industry as a whole, and the particular competitors you face Accurate and thorough information is the foundation of all successful business ventures because it provides a wealth of information about prospective and existing customers, the competition, and the industry in general. It allows business owners to determine the feasibility of a business before committing substantial resources to the venture. Market research provides relevant data to help solve marketing challenges that a business will most likely face--an integral part of the business planning process. In fact, strategies such as market segmentation (identifying specific groups within a market) and product differentiation (creating an identity for a product or service that separates it from those of the competitors) are impossible to develop without market research. Market research involves two types of data: Primary information. This is research you compile yourself or hire someone to gather for you. Secondary information. This type of research is already compiled and organized for you. Examples of secondary information include reports...

...Nowadays it seems like every chef or restaurateur is selling burgers. Bobby Flay has Bobby's Burger Palace; Danny Meyer has his uber-popular Shake Shack. Gabrielle Hamilton at Prune throws a little ground lamb into her burger to make it gamier. And that's not to mention all the chain burger joints creeping up around the country, from Umami Burger out west to Five Guys out east. The first and most obvious answer to the question of why we're so obsessed with burgers is: burgers are cheap. If you're going out to dinner and the entrees cost $33, the burger almost always costs half. It fills you up just as much as the filet of trout would (if not more) and it almost always comes with a generous pile of fries. So it's an economical, filling option. That's appealing. But I think the answer is a little more complicated than that. It's not just that burgers are cheap, it's that they're easy to eat. Because the meat is ground up, you don't have to do much chewing. Because it's served on a bun, it's easy to eat. There's no cutting, only lifting. And because burgers come with an array of sides, you can build yours to your own taste. That's appealing too. Another factor may be familiarity. Sometimes, when we go out to eat, we don't want to be challenged. We want the taste of the familiar and nothing's more familiar, at least to Americans, than the taste of a burger. Specifically the char that appears on the exterior of the meat after it hits the hot flame; that specific smell and taste...
