...As soon as you pull into the Factory Town USA shopping center you can immediately smell the aromas from Chipotle Mexican Grill. There are a few small stores in the plaza but it’s clear that Chipotle is the main attraction. The plaza is right off of route 9 going through Westborough, Ma. The parking lot is a little difficult to find parking but the flavors that you are about to taste are well worth the struggle to find parking. The Westborough location is probably the best one I have been to. From the time you walk through the door the team there is friendly and hard-working. At other locations there is always a mile-long line that makes you question if it’s really worth the wait; it always is. But at this location there is never a line longer than about five people. During my visit I went with my mom and dad. We usually don't go for a specific reason other than to put an end to my constant begging for Chipotle. But this time, in addition to ending my begging, we were going for a quick meal before I had to be brought back to campus. We walked in and were immediately greeted by all of the employees. There was no line, like usual, so we walked right to the assembly line. First thing I turned to my parents and said, “Can I get two so I can bring one back to school?”....

...2008 CHARLEY V. WOOTAN AWARD: Outstanding Paper in Policy and Organization Reassessing On-Street Parking Wesley E. Marshall, Norman W. Garrick, and Gilbert Hansen The ongoing debate about the merits and drawbacks of on-street parking offers few definitive answers because comprehensive research in this area has been lacking. The goal is to develop a better understanding of the gamut of issues related to on-street parking, ranging from parking demand and the pedestrian environment to less researched topics such as the efficiency of land use. In addition, the basic question of safety is addressed in a more precise way than previously by taking into account actual vehicle speeds and crash severity levels. The investigation points to on-street parking as crucial in benefiting activity centers on numerous levels. Users of the downtowns consistently valued these landefficient on-street parking spaces over and above off-street surface lots and garages. Low-speed streets with on-street parking also had the lowest fatal and severe crash rates of any road category in the study of 250 Connecticut roadway segments. Part of the reason is that the presence of parking had a measurable effect on vehicle speeds. On-street parking is not purely a device to be used in the right environment; rather, it is a tool to help create that right environment. On-street parking should be more commonly used but especially in situations in which the road is part of the destination and the intent is to cause...

...Personal Property Case Study The case study “Parking Lot’s Liability” is an actual court case, Allright, Inc. v. Strauder. Plaintiff brought suit alleging that as a result of defendant's negligence, his automobile was stolen from a parking lot operated by defendant. Signs were located throughout the parking lot which stated that the lot closed at 6 o'clock p.m. and that anyone returning after that time could pick up their keys at another parking lot operated by the defendant at a another location. He was aware of the time when he left the car at the station and that the signs and the claim ticket said the lot closed at 6 o'clock. So indeed a bailment was created. The definition of bailment is a transaction in which an owner transfers his or her personal property (in this case his car) to another to be held, stored, delivered, or for some other purpose. Title to the property does not transfer. (Cheeseman, 2010) The plaintiff gave his keys to the defendant’s employee expecting the defendant’s company to park and store the car until the plaintiff returned for it, at which time the plaintiff would pay for the services obtained. This is considered a mutual benefit bailment. A bailment for the mutual benefit of the parties is created when there is an exchange of performances between the parties. A bailment for the repair of an item is a bailment for mutual benefit when the bailee receives a fee in exchange for his or her work. (legal-dictionary.com, 2013) Three elements...

...This case study describes the lawsuit between Greg Mitchell, Sara Hartman, Dangerfield Inc., Continental Concessions and Sandman Resorts. Sara Hartman arrived at Sandman Resorts, where she planned on staying a week as a guest. Heavy snowfall was increasing at six inches a day and even though the driveway had been cleared earlier that day, snow continued to coat the pavement. Greg Mitchell, the valet parking attendant, gave Hartman a receipt that stated “The Management is Not Responsible for Damages Incurred by Valet Parking Customers” on the back but Hartman did not read it. She began walking in between the cars just as Mitchell started to accelerate forward. When he saw Hartman between the two cars, he attempted to brake but hit the accelerator instead. This caused Hartman to be wedged in between the two cars. In order to help her, Mitchell got out of the car, but slipped on the icy pavement causing injuries to himself. Both Mitchell and Hartman suffered severe injuries from the accident. Hartman sued Mitchell, Dangerfield, Sandman, and Continental, while Mitchell sued Hartman, Continental, Dangerfield, and Sandman for negligence and for the dangerous conditions that caused the accidents. In this scenario, Dangerfield Inc. and Continental Concessions, LLC are sister companies and are wholly owned subsidiaries of Sandman Resorts, and s-corporation.

...Case Study 1 Keith’s Case Keith is in the tenth grade and very anxious for the school year to end. Actually, he is anxious for his high school years to end so that he can get away from one particular student, Junior. Junior also is in the tenth grade and, for some reason that Keith can’t understand, Junior has taken it upon himself to make his life miserable. Junior stands about 6’2’’ and weighs around 200 pounds. Keith is a modest 5’9’’ and barely 150 pounds. Although Keith and Junior only have one class together, it seems that each day Junior has something in store for him. So far, Junior has trashed his gym locker as well as his locker in the main part of the school, let the air out of the tires of his car in the school parking lot, and in the lunchroom, walked by and dropped a dirty rag onto his plate of food. Sometimes he just walks by and bumps into him, hard, and makes comments about the way he dresses, how he smells, or how he has his hair cut. Junior has also made threatening remarks to him such as “I’m looking forward to finding you along some day after school.” Keith is even afraid to go into the restroom alone. School is no longer a place for learning, but merely a place for surviving. Keith’s favorite teacher is Mr. Jeffries, his social studies teacher. He has shared some of his concerns with him but isn’t sure just what will come of it. Mr. Jeffries said that he should tell a school administrator, but he doesn’t want a reputation on telling on other students...

...CASE STUDY No. 1: FOOD AND BEVERAGES AT SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL GAMES GROUP 3: Bascos, Regina Domingo, Eina Gali, Geralyn Lirio, Pau Plaza, Mayet Tecson Carla I. CASE BACKGROUND Southwestern University (SWU) is a state college and long time football power house as one of the top 20. With its goal of reaching the no.1 ranking, in 2010 they hired the legendary Bo Pitterno as head coach. After just announcing the new coach’s arrival, from an average of 25,000-29,000 season tickets increased by 10,000. Despite the yearly increase in attendance, the no. 1 ranking remained elusive. Continuous growth in attendance then brought more challenges to the Southwestern University such as the need for bigger stadium and complaints on seating, parking, long lines and concession stand prices. Thus, the University President, Dr. Marty Starr concern was not only on the cost of expansion versus acquisition of new stadium but also on the ancillary services. He wanted all various support activities such as parking lots, game programs and food services to be handled as profit centers. Dr. Starr instructed the Stadium Manager, Hank Maddux during their recent meeting to develop a break-even chart and related data for each of the centers. Among the ancillary services, Dr. Starr wanted to have first the break even report for the Food Service area ready on their next meeting. Table 1 containing the estimated selling per unit and variable cost per...

The board of directors proposed a development plan in 2009 and aimed at gradual and phased development of airport company. Assumption Used in Analysis: The airport is assumed to be unaffected by the Euro Zone crisis which is currently prevailing in Europe and may well be extended to 2 or 3 years more down the line. The maximum airlines with which the airport deals are assumed to be affected by the Euro zone crisis. Positive inflation is assumed so the factors of cost are expected to increase subsequently.
