...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the period, Vietnamese consumer foodservice is expected to maintain a healthy growth rate in terms of value, outlets and transactions. The higher living standards, busier lifestyles and higher disposable incomes, as well as the increasing influence of Western lifestyles and cuisine on Vietnamese culture, especially among the young, will be key factors supporting the growth of fast food. Furthermore, more newcomers, both international and local players, are predicted to enter the consumer foodservice industry in Vietnam. Chained players are likely to record a better performance than independent over the past few years. The main reason for this is that more people pay attention to service quality and food safety standards while chained operations are perceived in Vietnamese eyes as delivering better standards in this regard. Major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi will remain the centre of the fast food industry. KFC entered the Vietnamese in 12/1997 in Ho Chi Minh City. KFC is commonly known in Vietnam under the special name “Ga ran KFC” — a fast food restaurant chain serving the meals made from chicken, hamburgers and the most famous meal is fried chicken sandwiches, chicken pot pies, crispy chicken strips, wraps and salads. KFC is part of Yum! Brands, Inc., the world's largest restaurant company in terms of restaurant system, with more than 36,000 locations around the world. To this day, among big competitive brands, KFC is the market...

...prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...
