...The Broadway Café CIS – 500 Abstract The Broadway Café has seen a decrease in all aspects of the business. Outdated business practices are still being used because the previous owner never saw the need to upgrade. New business practices such as the use of technology will be put in place to compete with competition in the area. Due to the fact marketing has never been used at The Broadway Café; different marketing strategies will be implemented so that the business should at least see a turnaround in profits very quickly. Management will also be an area that will be overhauled, therefore management and employees will become more efficient and effective. The Broadway Café The Broadway Café has been in the family for years, but as of recently the business has suffered due to very outdated business practices and old marketing strategies. To turn the family business around and start seeing a profit again the business as a whole needs to be revamped. The main objective is profit so we have to become more aggressive and get that advantage that my grandfather had back when first opened the café. Also we need to catch back up with the times of the 21st century and use these tools that are at our disposal. We need to first keep our current customers while attracting new customers. To organize such an effort we will implement a new frequency reward program. We will have the cards on display for pick up, the card we say something in the form of once you buy your fourth item...

...The Broadway Café Final Project Abstract I inherited my grandfather’s coffee shop “The Broadway Café “ which is a family business coffee shop located in Atlanta, Georgia. Our business specializes in coffees, teas, full service bakery, and homemade sandwiches, soups, and salads. It was once a hotspot for many years but for the past five years the business has been declining, due to using the old fashion method, and not using the most up to date technology to stay in today’s era with it’s other competitors. Although my grandfather had conducted a good business back in the 21st century, it now appears as though that new and improved methods need to be in place to his business booming. My grandfather had acquired a wealth of knowledge about the coffee business and unfortunately before he passed way he was unable to share the information with the family. My grandfather had an exceptional memory where he kept a note pad that tracked all inventory, payroll, and store information. My grandfather’s only advertising method was by word-of-mouth, he never recorded any family recipes or made a client list. The café didn’t have a marketing scheme in place to attract new customers. In order to bring the business into the 21st century, the café needs to gain a competitive advantage though the use of technology, deploy a wireless network for it’s customers through Customer Relationship Management, in which involves managing all aspects of a customer’s relationship with an organization...

...105 Westwood Drive Lexington, KY 40503 April 22, 2013 Mr. James Marinelli University of Kentucky 1522 Patterson Office Tower Lexington, KY 40506 Dear Mr. Marinelli: As students at the University of Kentucky, we are required to take a class titled “business writing.” In this class we were assigned a project which allowed us the opportunity of creating a proposal for a specific company. Due to the fact that Dunkin’ Donuts is already successful company with many loyal customers, our group decided to make your company the topic of our choosing. Because of the current success of the company, we realized that Dunkin’ Donuts already has an effective marketing strategy. Instead, we wanted to create another aspect to this current marketing strategy to take Dunkin’ Donuts to another level. We have spent a great deal of our semester researching your company and effective advertising methods. Because of this, we hope that you will find this proposal to be beneficial for the marketing department and could possibly incorporate it into your marketing strategy in the future. Since your company is very successful currently, we did not feel it was necessary to change any of the current marketing strategies and techniques. However, we do feel it is time to incorporate some new and young ideas. Through our research we noticed that Dunkin’ Donuts is lacking in the many college communities. As a result, we are concerned that college students will support companies that have a strong...

...HANDS ON DATABASE by Steve Conger © 2010 Hands ON Database Introduction Many students taking an introductory database course need hands-on experience. Typically they are under pressure to finish quickly with a certificate or degree and get to work. They need to get actual practice in the process of designing and developing databases that they can apply in their future employment. They need to create tables, enter data, and run SQL queries. This book is designed for them. Hands on Database: an Introduction to Database Design and Development focuses on the process of creating a database. It guides the student through the initial conception of the database. It covers gathering of requirements and business rules, the logical and physical design and the testing of the database. It does this through a continuous narrative that follows a student, Sharon, as she designs and constructs a database to track the tutoring program at her school. It shows some of her missteps as well as her successes. Students get hands-on experience by doing practices and developing scenarios that parallel the narrative. After completing this book students will have a good sense of what is involved in developing and creating a database. Below is a list of the book outcomes. A student who has completed this book will be able to give a general definition of a relational database to identify a variety of ways to gather database requirements to define business rules for a database to create an...
