...life. People cannot afford anymore to cook their own meals, it is important to have food fast and cheap at work, at school and at social events. This is why catering has become multibillion dollar industry, giving job for thousands of people. Catering is a business of providing foodservice at a certain site such as hotel, school, workplace or other locations. In such a busy environment, people always find ways to wrap up the daily routine things to properly concentration their core jobs. If a person from his native homeland comes to other country and then wants to arrange a party with food according to his motherland, than this catering industry will help him. Because of the diverse market throughout the world, the catering industry is very well accustomed to the traditions of the countries in which they have entered. Here we can see the clear sign of globalization and its impacts on the company like Sodexo. Because of which, we can arrange parties with our cultural food even if we are not in our country. This can be easily expressed in such a way: “Something about others you learn, something about you others learn, that’s how Globalization works and the companies grow.” 1. Customers (segmentation), Upon demand and profile, catering companies are divided into low-scale and high-scale catering. These services differ by using completely different kind of raw materials and resources. As an example a child’s birthday party demands tools of lower value...

...Edward’s Restaurant and Sir George’s Catering Case Analysis General Environment Demographic: Industry: Demographic factors are favorable to the restaurant industry. Approximately 52% of the 1993 population in the area was 60 years of age or over. This was considered the restaurant’s main target market. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons. The climate was attractive for growing population of seniors. Land prices, housing, taxes, and utilities were affordable. With the average cost of an acre of industrial land in the Penticton area at $45000 in 1991, businesses were attracted to the area. Between 1984 and 1991, manufacturing jobs in the region had nearly doubled plus house price were low. Population increased during that period of time. Climate is the biggest factor of population increase. Penticton has the best climate in Canada. With population of 27,000 people seemed to indicate 27-30 would be an appropriate number of restaurants for the city. At that time, however, there were about 100 eating establishments. (Not enough people for that number of restaurants). During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons.

...Catering Theory 2 Question 1 What factors influence the visual effect food has on a customer? Explain your answer. I believe that personal preferences, background, religion, time of month and day even can influence the visual effect food has on a customer. The chef‟s responsibility is to present a dish that will be visually appealing to a wide variety of customers and in this respect the following techniques can be used: Contrast Harmony Simplicity Garnishes However, as outlined above in my opinion personal factors are key in the way customers perceive food visually. A very hungry individual might find a big portion visually stimulating but same cannot be said for an individual that is sick or on a special diet. A pork chop can be the most beautiful thing in the world for some, but for others that have religious constraints it can be a complete disaster. The examples can continue with positive stimuli for some being negative stimuli for others and in my opinion there can be as many factors influencing customers as there are customers so the combinations of stimuli is almost endless. Question 2 Why is it important that food is served at the correct temperature? I think it is important to serve food at the correct temperature mainly because two factors: a) Food safety. b) Food service principles that If we are to classify the two factors presented above I would be inclined to say that Food Safety should be the main factor why establishments choose to serve food at the correct...
