...Eating at Home or at Restaurants All the people in the world like food, and they always eat every day such as, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everybody has special or different ways to eat or prepare food, and the favorite place to eat food. Some people prefer to eat at restaurants, other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. I prefer to eat at home for two reasons that are the health and comfortable. First, I often prepare the food and eat at home because eating at home is healthier than eating at restaurants. When you cook or prepare a meal in your home, you can add some great value at your meal. For example, you can make a special meal by choosing healthy food that includes Vitamins and Carbohydrates. I mean, you can control and choose what kind of food you like to eat. On the other hand, eating at restaurants is not healthy because the restaurants are not responsible for your health, and they don’t care about your health. For example, eating food at restaurants has high fat and bacteria. Second, when you eat at your home, you feel comfortable. You can do anything as you like. For example, when I decide to eat at your home; you can eat lying or standing. On the other hand, at restaurants you can’t feel comfortable because everybody watches you, and you can’t speak or laugh loudly because it is public space. In sum, I think every person from every country or city has a different way to eat food. I often enjoy preparing and cooking food, so I like to eat at my...

Guest Cycle also represents a systematic approach to front office operations. 1. Pre - Arrival The Guest chooses a hotel during the pre- arrival stage of the guest cycle. Choice of the guest can be affected by many factors, including previous experiences with the hotel, advertisement, word of mouth referral by friends and colleagues, location, corporate, travel agent booking, hotel name, hotel loyalty program member etc. The guest's decision of making the reservation can also be effected by the ease of making the reservation and the way reservation agent interacted and described the facility of the hotel like room type, room rate, recreational facilities and other attractions near the hotels etc. We can certainly call the reservation area as the sales office for non-corporate or group bookings. Its employees should be sales orientated and present positive, strong image of the hotel. If a reservation can be accepted, the reservation agent creates a reservation on the hotel management software. The creation of this reservation record starts the hotel guest...

...Eating out can be a very pleasurable experience. Having dinner with a friend, eating a romantic meal while on a date or celebrating some special event with a party at a restaurant are all things we enjoy doing. Even so, there are few people who eat out all the time and eating at home has many points in its favor. It is cheaper to eat at home. It is healthier to eat at home and it is usually much more comfortable. For me, there is no doubt that I prefer eating at home. Firstly, eating at home is much less expensive than eating in a restaurant. Obviously, when we eat at home we do the preparation, cooking and serving of the food ourselves and, therefore, do not need to pay the labor costs of cook, waiter and other restaurant staff. Similarly, we have no other overheads to pay for such as restaurant rent and high utility bills. A further cost saving is that we shop for the ingredients of our home-cooked meals ourselves and can choose those which are cheaper in price. Secondly, eating at home is much better for our health and general wellbeing than dining outside. At home, when cooking for ourselves, we can ensure that what goes into our meals is not bad for us. We can control the amount of oil we use. We can control the amount of salt we use and we can balance our diet to suit our own individual needs. When we eat at a restaurant, none of these things are possible. At home we can also cook just enough food to satisfy us. In a restaurant we are often given too much...

...Compare the ways the poets present different attitudes towards eating out in the poems ‘The Sweet Menu’ and ‘Eating Out’. 1000 Words. In both poems ‘The Sweet Menu’ and ‘Eating Out’, the poets use a range of linguistic techniques to convey the different attitudes towards eating out. In ‘Eating Out’ the poem is written in unrhymed couplets, 14 lines with an extra last line. This gives the somewhat effect of a sonnet possessing an extra line. The poem is told in a series of different experiences in restaurants. Throughout the poem, Fanthorpe recalls visits to restaurants taking the form of initiation in fine dining which was experienced in the poets childhood as her father rehearsed with her the ‘grown-up’ eating out. Fanthorpe has built most of the poem on particular incidents and memories. However the first line encapsulates the whole meaning of the poem: ‘Adventures into rehearsed but unknown living’. This is gives a slight sense of contradiction. ‘Adventures’ should be spontaneous and exciting, but here they are in set patterns of idealised middle-class behaviour about good restaurant dining ‘rehearsed but unknown living’. Throughout the poem, the gradually maturing poet feels dominated by her parents, in clearly Freudian terms. Even as a grown-up woman, when ordering food at a restaurant with her mother, she is unsettled by her mother saying ‘I’ll have whatever you’re having dear’. ‘The Sweet Menu’ is also written in unrhymed couplets with one final single...

...Eating at home or eating out To human, eating now is not only an action to survive. But it has also become one kind of culture. People now are not only care of what or how they eat. But where they eat is also important. Nowadays, people are too busy with school and work. So, most of the people think that it is more comfortable to eating out than eating at home. But in my point of view, I’d still prefer eating at home than eating out. First, your family know what you eat. I meant that if you have allergy with something or you can’t eat specific thing like spicy, your family know that and they can put that out in your dish. But if you’re in a restaurant even if you told the waiter to put out, most of them usually don’t listen to what you say. So when the dish come out and you can’t eat it, it will be a waste of money. Second, the food at home is much cheaper than the food at the restaurant. For example, if you eat a bowl of Pho at a restaurant, it will cost about 30000 dong at least. But if you buy the ingredients and make it your own it will be way more cheaper about 10000 dong. The reason of this is because the restaurant has to pay extra fees like the worker’s salary, restaurant’s renting, etc. And because they have to cut down the fee to make more profit so the food might no be as healthy as the food you make at home A survey in US show that a family can save up to 2000 dollars a year by reducing the times of eating at a restaurant. And helping your mom...

...There are about 160,000 fast food restaurants in the United States. 50,000,000 americans are served at these restaurants everyday. Wendy’s was founded in 1969 in Columbus Ohio by Dave Thomas. It then moved to Dublin Ohio on January 29, 2006. It got the name Wendy’s from Dave Thomas, he named the restaurant after his eight year old daughter,whose nickname was Wendy. My claim is that Wendy’s is one of the healthier fast food restaurants for these reasons, you don’t eat as many calories as you would at other fast food restaurants, you don’t eat that much total fat after eating there, and you have left over calories and fat that you can eat at other meals. Yet other people claim that you shouldn’t eat at fast food restaurants because most of their food may sound healthy but isn’t and eating there can use up all or most of your calories and total fat intake. Even though they may have foods that have high fat and calorie content some fast food places don’t, they have healthy alternatives like wraps and salads. For example, at Wendy’s they offer garden side salads which have 210 calories and 13 grams of fat. They also have grilled chicken wraps that have 270 calories and 10 grams of fat....

...In earlier days, a dinner at the restaurant was the most enjoyed family outing, almost like a picnic. These days, it has changed a lot. Your kid can probably tell the menu of the nearest food joint faster than he can spell the alphabet. It’s not just about the kids. The entire concept of eating out has gone to whole different level because of our busy lives. Most families prefer to eat out as it saves a lot of work. But, in that process they forget the health risks they might be facing. So, you need to understand why a home cooked meal does more good than the quick meal at a restaurant nearby. The things that go in The reason a home cooked meal wins over the one from an eat-out is because of the good quality ingredients that go in. Firstly, you know where your produce comes from and you also can make sure that it’s completely clean and fresh. At restaurants, the emphasis is on the taste and to make food taste better lot of other ingredients that go in. At home, the nutrition in your meal comes from using less oil, balancing spices and using moderate quantities of sugar thereby ensuring that what you eat not just tastes good but is good for your health as well. Cooking at home also lets you experiment. Instead of going out to an Italian joint, you could try your hand out at making pasta or lasagna at home. That way you can enjoy a different cuisine cooked with nutritive ingredients instead. The add-ons While eating at home you don’t feel the urge to overeat...

...Restaurants may be classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Indian, French, Thai) and/or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes, such as automated restaurants. Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. In the former case, customers usually wear casual clothing. In the latter case, depending on culture and local traditions, customers might wear semi-casual, semi-formal or formal wear. Typically, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. For some time the travelling public has been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. (Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing Railway Refreshment Rooms [a form of restaurant] at railway stations.) In recent times there has been a trend to create a number of travelling restaurants...

...What Made Fast Food So Popular In the old days people used to eat healthy home cooked meals together as a family. However things have changed, today we can see that people prefer to eat outside their home and order from fast food restaurants, and this is due to the huge increase in popularity of fast food restaurants. Today people try to save as much time as possible due to the necessity to cope with numerous tasks within a limited amount of time. In the majority of cases modern people have busy work schedules and don’t have enough time to cook a meal. The fast food industry is more popular than ever but is it because fast food restaurants made themselves popular? The American lifestyle has changed and these changes have caused the fast food industry to grow in popularity because of its convenience, it’s inexpensive and the need to eat healthy is not a priority. One of the main reasons why fast food restaurants happen to be so popular is the change in life-style. The American lifestyle has changed greatly over the last few decades, people have demanding work schedules with long hours, children come late from school so parents are left with very little time to think about what to make for dinner. It is difficult for them to divide their time between their job and their responsibilities at home like cooking or finding time to prepare their food. This is why they rather go outside to eat instead of spending time on preparing a meal. Now many families have two household...

...decide differently. Not even professional nutritionist can accurately estimate the calories in restaurant foods unless they are told, so how are we supposed to know? In a poll experienced nutrition professionals underestimated the number of calories in restaurant food by 200 to 600 calories. If all menu items were labeled on the ordering boards or where customers could clearly see them when ordering, it would help people make better healthy food choices. There are many reasons why teens, young children just people in general are becoming overweight; reduced physical activity, overeating, poor nutrition, poor quality sleep the list goes on and on. But one big factor that I found was that according to Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at Yale University Americans now consume about a third of their calories from fast food restaurants and vendors. Americans are spending almost half of their money at fast food places. This is understandable; it’s fast and usually inexpensive, but if we as Americans want to eat healthier shouldn’t we be able to see what we are actually eating, the calories, sugar, fats, and sodium? There is a huge link between eating out and weight gain. There has been a huge rise of heart rate and diabetes. People don’t want to have these health problems, as the years go on Americans are trying to step forward and make their life better by exercising more and eating right. The Rudd Center states that 48% of American adults...
