...Touch Screen Restaurant Menus Increase Dining Experience Ordering food in a restaurant via iPad is so 2010. Think beyond the iPad. Imagine a future without waiters, without anyone asking you if you want sparkling or still. Without the condescending glance of a server who thinks they know so much. Imagine sitting down to dinner at a table lit by an overhead projector and interacting with the projections on the table in front of us. Our order? Placed by the swipe of a finger. This is the future of restaurants. These types of table first introduce London’s “inamo” restaurant called E-Table, the interactive ordering system is designed to give patrons “more control over their dining experience”. A projector, which is installed in the ceiling above each table, projects an interactive menu on the tabletop. Using a touch mouse pad, patrons can navigate the menu, place orders, choose a virtual tablecloth, and project images of each meal on their plates to help them decide which one to get. The system isn’t only for placing orders – patrons can also use it to play video games, call a taxi, or watch the chef prepare their meals via a live webcam! E-Table also offers a lot of perks to the restaurant owners, like reduced staff costs, an increase in customer spending, and a more efficient way to deal with customers. How it works: The E-Table system uses overhead projection to deliver a menu and other digital images to a restaurant table-top. Projected images do overlay food dishes...

It is one of the top selling products in the world today that everyone is trying to get a piece of. That is why my personal venture is the way through people stomachs and that is by the name of a business that I call (A Touch of Sugar) a family restaurant. With this bright idea it is something that I can turn a hobby in to a business while still putting smiles on people faces. This will show the total breakdown from start to finish in how a business is run and all of the little things that it takes in order to keep a business afloat and see if the business will be successful in the future.

...Abroad – Africa Cuisine and Culture, Mr. Kabasella is an experienced restaurant owner in Zaire for 14 years. After moving to Columbus, Ohio Mr. Kabasella opened an Indian restaurant in downtown Columbus. This restaurant was identical to the restaurant that was prosperous for years in Zaira, however customer turnout and revenue have been far short of what had been projected (Churchill & Brown, 2010, p. 515). Mr. Kabasella has requested the help of a research consultant to help his business prosper (Churchill et al, 2010, p. 515). The research marketing process states that identifying and defining the problem is the first and most important step (Churchill, et al., 2010). Before you can identify the problem Mr. Kabasella and I must determine the purpose for the study, gain all background information, identify what information is needed, and how it will be used in decision-making. Without taking all these steps into consideration when planning the research the project could fail and be a waste of time and money. Information such as, which market are you trying to target, what research have you done yourself, and what problems have you been able to identify and how did you determine what those problems are? As wells as what changes are you willing to make? Changes with the menu, customer service, management, hiring and training staff, marketing, and/or capital ("7 Surprisingly Common Problems That Restaurants Face", 2014).

...Individual Project Proposal Song Tang(stang34@fordham.edu) 1. System Introduction & System Type In today’s age of fast food and take-out, many restaurants have chosen to focus on quick preparation and speedy delivery of orders rather than offering a rich dining experience. Until very recently, all of these delivery orders were placed over the phone, but there are many disadvantages to this system, including the inconvenience of the customer needing to have a physical copy of the menu, lack of a visual confirmation that the order was placed correctly, and the necessity for the restaurant to have an employee answering the phone and taking orders. What I propose is an online ordering system, which is a technique of ordering foods online applicable in any food delivery industry. The main advantage of my system is that it greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the customer and the restaurant. When the customer visits the ordering webpage, they are presented with an interactive and up-to-date menu, complete with all available options and dynamically adjusting prices based on the selected options. After making a selection, the item is then added to their order, which the customer can review the details of at any time before checking out. This provides instant visual confirmation of what was selected and ensures that items in the order are, in fact, what was intended. This system also greatly lightens the load on the restaurant’s end, as the entire process of taking...

Hunting Season brings value to the supply chain at the point where the customer will have access to the products in our retail and customer service location that have been supplied through national level distribution networks. By this I mean different animals from different regions in the United States. For example, White tail deer from the midwest is going to be different then white tail in the Northwest part of the country. The regulations at the state and federal levels for keeping end state retailers separate from distribution networks is how our restaurant will create value for its clientele. The distribution elements for Hunting Season will be animals that are in season in the best regions in the US. From the tasty elk in southern colorado to the spicy turkey burgers of the south. The spices and vegetables will be bought from suppliers where ever our restaurant will be located. This will make it easier for the managers to keep everything up to date. There is a need to work with multiple spirit distribution companies to have the selection and quality of spirits available that are clientele will expect, the spirit distributors...

...citizenship helping the community and the environment is important because they see it as a way of strengthening their relationship with one of their stakeholders. An example of corporate citizenship could be found in food service companies that get together to get money for the hungry. An example of this is the program that the rock star John Bon Jovi started through a restaurant. The restaurant is called “Soul Kitchen” and it is an initiative where the community participates. You can go there, eat and pay what you can. Even if you don’t have money you can still eat what you want, but you have to help out either in the kitchen or in the back yard helping to pick out the vegetables for the food that will be prepared to the customers, which is the local community (Soul Kitchen, John Bon Jovi’s charity restaurant, opens in New Jersey, Wayne Parry, The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/soul-kitchen-jon-bon-jovi_n_1021600.html). Fast food places give their customers the option to collaborate and help the people in need by donating money when they are ready to pay for their meal. Other restaurants have fundraisings or other activities that allow customers to get involved in helping associations like what Chili’s and St. Jude Children’s Hospital does since 2008 (Create a pepper at Chili’s to fight Childhood cancer,...
