Review of Related Literature

According to John Stroke (1992), many individuals are attracted to food services since it involves dealing with people. It is important not only because it is one of the basic biological needs but also it is a potential source of income. The restaurant is one of the few remaining fields where an individual can enter with a relatively small capital investment and by applications of ability and hard work can achieve ultimate success. It has also advantage of using large cash business. Children's Britannica stated that a restaurant is a place where meals are bought and eaten by public. It is a French word meaning "restorative" which means " referred to the soup sold". When primitive people traveled away from their homes whether for warfare, trading or adventure, they needed a place to rest and eat. Trough out the years, food and service had been accompanied for traveling purposes. Thus, the tremendous increase in the travel has place during the past half of its counter part in the exploration of public feeding.
Bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, or strippers. Bars which offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars or nightclubs. Types of bars range from dive bars to elegant places of entertainment for the elite.
Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum purchase requirement during their peak hours. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band or a disc jockey playing recorded music.

Restaurant A restaurant is an establishment which prepares and serves food and drink to customers in return for money, either paid before the meal, after the meal, or with a running tab. Meals are generally served and eaten on premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services. “Applebum, Robert, Dishing It Out: In Search of the Restaurant Experience (London: Reaction, 2011).” Restaurants range from unpretentious 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 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. “Undberg, Donald E., The Hotel and Restaurant Business, Boston : Canners Books, 1974.”
Kinds of Restaurants
Fast food restaurants emphasize speed of service. Operations range from small-scale street vendors with carts to mega-corporations.
Fast Casual usually do not offer full table service, but may offer non-disposable plates and cutlery. The quality of food and prices tend to be higher than those of a conventional fast food restaurant but may be lower than casual dining.
Casual Dining is a restaurant that serves moderately-priced food in a casual atmosphere. Except for buffet-style restaurants, casual dining restaurants typically provide table service. Casual dining comprises a market segment between fast food establishments and fine dining restaurants. Casual dining restaurants often have a full bar with separate bar staff, a larger beer menu and a limited wine menu.
Family Style Restaurants are a type of casual dining restaurants where food is often served on platters and the diners serve themselves. Typically, alcoholic beverages are not sold at family-style casual dining restaurants.
Fine Dining Restaurants are full service restaurants with specific dedicated meal courses. Decor of such restaurants feature higher-quality materials, with an eye towards the "atmosphere" desired by the restaurateur, than restaurants featuring lower-quality materials. The wait staff is usually highly trained and often wears more formal attire. Fine-dining restaurants are almost always small businesses and are generally either single-location operations or have just a few locations.
There have been many names throughout history for establishments where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages. Even when an establishment uses a different name, such as "tavern," the area of the establishment where the bartender pours or mixes alcoholic beverages is normally called "the bar." The sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages was prohibited in the first half of the 20th century in several countries, including Finland, Iceland, Norway, and the United States. In the United States, illegal bars during Prohibition were called speakeasies or blind pigs. ("Wikipedia")
Types of bars A bar's owners and managers choose the bar's name, décor, drink menu, lighting, and other elements which they think will attract a certain kind of patron. However, they have only limited influence over who patronizes their establishment. Thus, a bar originally intended for one demographic profile can become popular with another. For example, a gay bar with a dance floor might, over time, attract an increasingly straight clientele. Or a blues bar may become a biker bar if most its patrons are bikers.
Cocktail Lounge is an upscale bar that is typically located within a hotel, restaurant, or airport. Wine Bar is an elegant bar that serves only wine (no beer or liquor). Customers of these bars may taste wines before deciding to buy them. Some wine bars also serve small plates of food or other snacks.
Brew Pub has an on-site brewing capacity and serves craft beers as well as the usual range of alcoholic beverages.A dive bar is a very informal bar, sometimes referred to simply as a dive.
Music Bar is an establishment specializing in live music.”Burns, Ken, and Novick, Lynn, Prohibition, 2011”
Customer Satisfaction Kotler and Armstrong(2005), emphasized that whether that buyer is satisfied after the purchase depends upon the offers performance in relation to person's expectation, the customer is satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied. Customer satisfaction is influenced by specific product or service features, perceptions of product or service quality and price. In addition to personal factors such as customers mood or emotional state and situational factors such as family member opinion will also influence satisfaction.

...Effects of Student Employment on Student Academic Success Attending in colleges or university, students should consider learning new experience for their future careers from academic and non-academic. If you want to perform well at anything you need to have enough time to work on it and when you do more than one thing at the same time you need to keep balance or maintain your time. These students maintain their time tent to preform good in college. According to the research a full time student who works less than 10 hours a week has more positive effect on academic performance and student who work more than 20 hours a week has native effect on academic performance. Working while in college is not necessarily a burden to students. Working a limited number of hours (15 hours a week) at an on-campus job appears to have positive impacts on student performance. It allows student to learn new things that they cannot learn from their books or in class. Just being in class students are limited to learn to do school-work or assignments. However, from a part time job (15 or less) student have a chance to learn how to manage their time effectively, arrange their many other work appropriately, learn to be a responsible person, and build professional communicate skills. These lessons are proved to be very important for them at the present when they still study in their colleges, as well as in the future when they pursue their desire callings. Students who work one to 15 hours...

...Today's college students are less prepared for college-level work than their predecessors. Once they get to college, they tend to spend fewer hours studying while spending more hours working, some even full time (D. T. Smart, C. A. Kelley, & J. S. Conant, 1999). In this study, the authors examined the effect of both time spent studying and time spent working on academic performance. The authors further evaluated the interaction of motivation and ability with study time and its effect on academic performance. The results suggested that nonability variables like motivation and study time significantly interact with ability to influence academic performance. Contrary to popular belief, the amount of time spent studying or at work had no direct influence on academic performance. The authors also addressed implications and direction for future research. Nonis, S. A. (2010, August 7). Academic Performance of College Students: Influence of Time Spent Studying and Working.

Its effect on the academic performance of students has been questioned by many researchers (Green, 1987).

CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY “Academic performance” is not a concept that is new, many social scientist and researchers alike have defined academic performance in various ways. Bruce Tuckman (1975) asserts that performance is used to label the observable manifestations of knowledge, skill, concepts, and understanding and idea. So performance is the application of a learning product that at the end of the process provides mastery. It is the acquisition of particular grades on examination; it shows or indicates the students’ ability, mastery of content, skills in applying learned knowledge to a particular situation. A student is generally judged on examination performance (Banquil et al, 2009)....

An Investigation on How the Mode of Transport Affect Study, Leisure, Social Activities, and Academic Performance of Undergraduate Students

...An investigation on how the mode of transport affect study, leisure, social activities, and academic performance of undergraduate students Abstract This study seeks to investigate how mode of transport influences the activities of undergraduate students, and whether it impacts their academic performance. The activity patterns of 50 KPTM students are analysed. The respondent profile indicates that slightly more than half are females; between 21-24 years old; and currently pursuing their bachleor degree. In terms of lifestyle, large majority are average and above average financially; with 2 to 4 siblings; using private transport; and exercise irregularly. In terms of study-related activities, their academic performances are self-reported as average and above average; fair and good class attendance; only sometimes or never late for class; and considered to be more focused and attentive by their preferences to seat between the front-middle and the middle-back rows. In terms of time spent (hours per week) on the core activities, on average the students reported to study 20.6 h/week; to have leisure time for 24.6 h/week; social activities for 40.4 h/week; and working 3.4 h/week. The major findings of this study reveal that mode of transport does play an important role in student’s study, leisure, and social activities. The findings indicate that those students with private transport tend to spend slightly less time on self-study (20.4-20.8 h/week) and miss slightly more classes...

...research 8) Literature review 9) Primary research 10) Interview i. Contact Person 11) Findings 12) Conclusion and Recommendations 13) Research Tool 14) References 15) Author’s Note Abstract Sleep deprivation has been an important topic of study with the first documented research on sleep deprivation being conducted by Mary D. Maneceine in 1894 on rats by depriving them of sleep and examining their behavior. Sleep deprivation is an important part of academic life. It is often quoted “a sound mind in a sound body” to describe the ideal and desirable state of a human being. It can be observed that the functioning of a ‘sound body’ is vital to the efficient working of a ‘sound mind’. To maintain a healthy body it important that the recuperative functions of the body are allowed to efficiently play their role. The most important recuperative or rebuilding function of the body is sleep which is followed by rest, etc. but it is a sad reality that students today seldom get the amount of sleep which is naturally required by their bodies. Due to this lack of sleep they are constantly in a state named in scientific terms as “sleep deprivation”. They are ‘sleep deprived’. sleep deprivation is not a minor...

Study Habits and Academic Performance in English

...Comparison of Study Habits and Academic Performance of Pakistani British and White British Students Shabbir Ahmad Rana Rukhsana Kausar GC University, Lahore Punjab University, Lahore The present study was conducted to compare Pakistani British and White British students on study habits and their academic performance. The sample comprised of 200 science students of 10th class recruited from four multiethnic schools of England, UK. Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (Brown & Holtzman, 1955) was used to assess students’ study habits and their last year academic grades were used to assess academic performance. Statistical analysis revealed that although White British students had significantly better study habits than the Pakistani British but no significant difference was found in their academic performance. Country of origin and schools had significant interactive effect on study habits of students but did not have an interactive effect on academic performance of the students. The study has important implication for the educationists.

Research

...Understanding the Working College Student New research shows that students are working more and juggling a multitude of roles, creating anxiety and lowering graduation rates. By Laura W. Perna Related Charts Percentage of 16- to 24-Year-Old College Students Who Were Enrolled Full Time and Employed, 1970 to 2005 (.pdf) Percentage of 16- to 24-Year-Old College Students Who Were Enrolled Part Time and Employed, 1970 to 2005  (.pdf) "Ten to fifteen hours per week, on campus.” This is the typical response from faculty members and administrators who are asked how much undergraduate students should work at paying jobs while attending college. Available research supports this recommendation. Quantitative studies consistently show that retention rates are higher for students who work a modest number of hours per week (ten to fifteen) than they are for students who do not work at all or those who work more than fifteen hours per week. Research also shows increased academic success for students working on rather than off campus. Unfortunately, this simple recommendation is no longer feasible or realistic for the typical undergraduate. Most college students are now not only employed but also working a substantial number of hours, a fact not widely understood or discussed by faculty members and policy makers. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2007 nearly half (45 percent) of “traditional” undergraduates—that is, students between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four...
