A Feasibility study is the most efficient one for it examines and ponders all aspects of the business. Pizza, as we know it today is a bread crust covered with a tomato base and then flavored with other toppings. Most of us think of pizza as an Italian food and most of us are right.

The real explosion in the popularity of pizza took place in the 1094’s; during WWI U.S. troops stationed in Italy had their first taste of pizza. When they arrive home they brought with them an appreciation for this great tasting food, and the growth of the U.S. pizza consumption began and today pizza is one of the most favorite food of many Filipinos, according to European nutrition research on the eating habits of people with cancer of the mouth, esophagus, throat or colon, showed those who ate pizza at least once a week had less chance of developing cancer.

They both aim to feed people looking for affordable meal but do not want to spend a lot of money. There was once a time where eating out was a treat, but over the last 40 years Americans have left the kitchen and have hit the drive-thru for dinner. Nearly one quarter of all our meals are eaten away from home. Recently, fast food industries launched the “dollar menu” to their product lines. Mcdonald’s is considered the first user of this type of menu, followed by other restaurants such as Burger King. The question is which one of the 2 restaurants will we spend our money on? Mcdonald’s began in the town of San Bernadino California in 1940 by brothers Richard and Maurice Mcdonald by opening the Mcdonald’s BBQ restaurant. In 1948 they closed down their original restaurant and simplified their menu which included 9 items such as 15 cent hamburgers fries and milkshakes. The combination of low prices and fast service led to a great success and soon led to more restaurants opening. They took White Castles principle of fast food production to another level and started the...

...incomes - the food sector has been witnessing a marked change in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. An increasing number of international fast food chains rushing to India is because all of them see tremendous potential in for this type of business. The large upwardly mobile population in the urban areas tend to eat out more often or business or for leisure. The various players operating in India are the well-established Indian chains like Nirula's, Haldiram's and multinational companies like McDonalds, Pizza hut, Domino's pizza, etc. In addition to these, apparently some of the best known international food chains are looking at India. Among them are Great American Disaster, The Burger King, Mexican food chain Tacogrill, Move-n-pick, etc. are some of them to name. The players are fighting on products, pricing, positioning and trying to convert their first trials into regular purchase by providing delightful service quality. The focus is on product quality and standardization on taste. Consistency is the key, as its standardization in fast food as the consumer is short on time and wants to satisfy his taste buds with a consistent taste experience. Beyond this each player has its own strategy to expand consumer base. * Some feel that pricing is not the deciding factor since fast food is not price sensitive market because it is not a single diet of Indians. * Some others are competing on positioning which is...

...business roots but at the same time adapting themselves to the different countries they operate in better than the fast food industry. No matter where you go in the world you can get a Big Mac and it will taste exactly the same as it does here, but there are also many different options that customers in the United States would have no familiarity with. As will be obvious throughout this paper McDonalds is really the king of adapting its business to the various cultures of the countries they operate in. The top ten fast food chains with revenue made outside the United States from ten thru one are Dairy Queen, Dunkin Donuts, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, and McDonalds at number one with revenue total of 44 billion (Huffington Post Mar 12 2013). Some say that fast food chains that adapt themselves too much to other cultures are losing what made their businesses successful in the first place the idea that people in these for foreign countries eat at these restaurants to get a taste of American life not to eat the same thing they eat every day. That is really not the point of this to find out if that is true; this is simply about seeing how businesses adapt themselves to different cultures and be successful at it. I chose five regions of the world that will show how different fast food chains adapt to the tastes of different cultures the five regions are Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, and Asia. The reason for picking these regions is because...

This highly competitive segment of the restaurant industry forces Wendy’s to compete not only in terms of food quality, price, convenience and value; but also for customers, employees and real estate. In 2011 and 2012, Wendy’s sales were $2,431 million and $2,505 million respectively. Despite this increase in sales, Wendy’s profit margin was only .2%. The major areas of concern for Wendy’s are its high cost of goods sold, high costs related to the owner ship of stores, its failure to communicate its brand and customer service. To combat these problems, ABC Consulting proposes that Wendy’s cut 100 underperforming store, and sell off franchise stores. Additionally, Wendy’s should reevaluate its employee training and retrain...

...Morgan Johnson 1/11/16 Block 4 Green Classification Essay The Category Game As a miserable employee of the Panera Bread Restaurant/Café/Bakery, I confess that I have spent the most of my shifts during the past 2 years categorizing any and all customers I come in contact with. This childish game I play in my own head, and sometimes with my co-workers, can last anywhere from 4 to 10 hours. Every person that walks through Panera’s streaky glass doors on a mission to feed themselves the most overpriced and overhyped food, fall victim to this game. Nine times out of ten I am the first employee an incoming customer sees. Nine times out of ten I am the first employee to observe a customer’s behavior, prepare myself to act as fake as the ingredients in processed foods, and provide the customer service that I am required to do as specified in my job description. There are several factors that play into where a customer lies on the “enjoyable” to “ready to march my-underpaid-self straight out the front doors” scale, and I within a 60 second interaction with a person, I can put them exactly where they belong. Like most food based businesses, we have our regular customers that come in anywhere from 1 to 15 times per week to get their favorite drink, snack, meal, or bakery item. I can proudly say I adore approximately 80% of them. I have multiple “family members” that aren’t necessarily blood related to me. This 80% of the regular customer population fall under the enjoyable, crazy...

...Soul Food Junkies This film was an eye-opener in so many ways to me. There were some parts where I was laughing, like when he was bullied into eating turkey neck, then admitting how delicious it was, pork juice and all; and on the other side of that I was getting choked up when he discusses his father losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. It’s real and it forces the issues surrounding health and wellness amongst African Americans. I heard several questions where explored in this film such as; whether or not his father’s death was a result of his deep love of soul food? Is soul food really “death food” as proclaimed by Dick Gregory (African American comedian and civil rights activist who was featured in the film)? Do fried foods increase your risk of exposure to carcinogens (an agent directly involved in causing cancer)? Filmmaker Byron Hurt of “Soul Food Junkies” does a good job at exploring all of these questions and more by speaking candidly with health professionals, family members, cooks, scholars, and everyday people off the street. This film is way more than just discussing the goodness of fried chicken, collard greens, sweet potatoes, mac ‘n cheese, and chitterlings. It digs deeper into the history of African American soul food and the effects it can potentially have on our health. This film also takes a peek inside the issues regarding a lack of health food options available within lower income communities. One woman stated that “the vegetables look like they’re...

McDonald’s has grown to become one of the leading fast food chains with close to 300 restaurants nationwide. Mostly branches were strategically located at the malls and commercial buildings. 1.4 Website Address www.mcdonalds.com.ph 1.5 Background History of the Company The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald at 1398 North E Street at West 14th Street in San Bernardino, California . Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 furthered the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant that the White Castle hamburger chain had already put into practice more than two decades earlier. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee". Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald by 1967 when the company first filed a U.S. trademark on a clown shaped man having puffed out costume legs. McDonald's first filed for a U.S. trademark on the name "McDonald's" on May 4, 1961, with the description "Drive-In Restaurant Services", which continues to be renewed through the end of December 2009.
