...Chalon A few years ago I went to a restaurant called Chalon and as I was walking to the door I saw it said 'Authentic Japanese Restaurant.' This started to make me think about sushi, sashimi and all the other raw food. As I opened the door I was asked how many people were eating, since it was only 6:30pm, there weren't a lot of people there. As we were walking to our seats I was wondering why nobody was eating any sushi or sashimi. Then we were given our menus and I realized that they don't sell any sushi! This was the reason I chose this restaurant. How could Chalon call itself an authentic Japanese restaurant when they don't even sell sushi? Chalon is a family restaurant, which means crying babies and whining children. The quiet atmosphere completely changed at 7:00pm. People started to flow into Chalon and there were 2 or 3 babies crying for at least half an hour. Outside a line of 20 people was growing longer by the minute. Chalon provides quiet and slow jazz music and the lighting was bright. Even though it said that Chalon was an authentic Japanese restaurant, you could order western and Korean food. The menu was separated into entrée's, Korean, Japanese, Western and desserts and salad. There was also a separate children's menu which they gave to my friend who they thought was a child but was actually 1 year older than me but just shorter. The Japanese food was mainly you-don noodles; Korean was mainly rice and the western food was grilled meat. I ordered...

...We chose to work with Spitfire Bar & Grill because we enjoy eating their food and it is a local restaurant. Being a local restaurant makes it a lot easier for people around the Fargo-Moorhead area to find. Spitfire makes award winning smoked food. Having this award winning food makes it exceptionally great that it is in a classy building. It was first opened in 2007 by Tim Olson which is located at 1660 13th Avenue East, West Fargo, ND. We decided to do an advertising campaign for Spitfire Bar & Grill. This advertising campaign consists of increasing last year’s sales by 5%, keeping tallies of how many people come from bison games, and finally increasing catering venues 5% from last year. In order to do this, we decided to use digital media, print media, and transit media. For our digital media, we chose to put ads on Twitter and Facebook. As for print media we decided to use flyers. Not only those, but we also used billboards for our transit media. Having these three different types of advertising medias allows us to reach all kinds of people. These advertisements will be out for eight weeks, which allows people to view these advertisements at different times essentially from any place there are. The benefits for using our advertising campaign are...

...I. Introduction Hospitality industry is one of the most in-demand industries nowadays. Hospitality management involves the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of human and material resources within the lodging, restaurant, travel and tourism, institutional management, recreational management and meeting and convention planning industries. All of these separate yet related segments of the hospitality industry are interrelated to deliver kind and generous services to guests. This is also one of the oldest businesses in history. People have always gone out to eat sometimes and traveled for work or leisure purposes. The industry is responsible for providing primarily food services and accommodations in places such as hotels, resorts, conference centers and theme or amusement parks. The catering or food service industry, which overlaps with the hospitality industry, primarily provides food services to institutions (such as schools, hospitals, or governmental operations), private industry (such as corporate cafeterias or motion picture studios), and private parties. Many people are enticed to bring up a business that is related to food service industry because of many potential markets that are all around the globe. However, to bring up a good food related business, one must be familiar to feasibility studies. A feasibility study looks at the viability of an idea with an emphasis on identifying potential problems and attempts to answer one main question: Will the...

...Case Study 1 – Possibility Restaurant Executive Summary Angela and Zooey decided to open the first ever French restaurant in Draperton called “The Posibility”. They could not offer a full menu at the beginning because they had no idea which tastes their clientele would gravitate toward when it came to French cuisine. They decided to settle for two main dishes; fish and beef. Their second dilemma was to figure out the number of meals to prepare each night. This would help them to efficiently plan for the purchase of ingredients and scheduling of labor. The latter problem requires some analysis in order to find out an ideal combination of the number of fish and beef dishes to be prepared which would yield the most profit, taking into account their limited resources and limiting environmental factors. Solution As mentioned in the previous paragraph, chef Pierre will only prepare fish and beef dishes which will be complemented by various desserts, salads, soups and vegetables. This will help them tailor their menu to the clientele’s preferences. For the second dilemma, I would suggest computing the expectations and limiting factors provided so as to achieve the best possible combination that will fully utilize available resources and yield the most profit. We know that fish and beef yield profits of $12 and $16 respectively. A maximum of 60 meals can be prepared each day, of which 60% are projected to be fish due to clientele’s healthy lifestyles, and beef sales will be at...

...Coopers Hawk Winery and Restaurant When I turned 21 the legal age to drink always had a taste for wine. The background that I originate from is European based and wine is in our family history. Coopers Hawk is the first winery/restaurant that caught my attention that has just been established around the area which I reside in and I just had to give it a shot. The decision was made that they are not many winery/restaurants that have a high range of wines to taste from in the area and this was the perfect chance to experience. The location of the restaurant is attached to a local mall where it can attract shoppers and the structure of it looks like a high end state of the art building and great atmosphere to it. They have a wide variety of foods and depending on what you get to eat it’s a normal level price or it can be a high end price. The cleanliness of the facility will factor a test. As I walk into the restaurant the hostess immediately assist’s you in a way that you’re the number one priority to them. Also, the Wine Tasting Room greets you as well. What a great way to start off the experience by a phenomenal greeting and welcoming. The design of the building itself was astonishing. The layer of brick inside the facility and the lighting was well prepared for the human attraction. The website stated that it took some time for the planning of the design to be well played out to establish something that no one has ever seen before. They want something that will put a...

...Restaurants may be classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Indian, French, Thai) and/or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes, such as automated restaurants. Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal 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 fine 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. Typically, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. For some time the travelling public has been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. (Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing Railway Refreshment Rooms [a form of restaurant] at railway stations.) In recent times there has been a trend to create a number of travelling restaurants...

After promotion, I have more responsibilities to check the customers’ keys cards to make sure full English breakfast inclusive or not.

Although Strand Palace Hotel has not only Curvery restaurant which is serving breakfast but also Johnson restaurant as well; everyday we face long queue problem.

...I believe the night audit for Hotel Affluent had a fair balance of negitives and positives. Valet revenue goal were met and even exceeded by a large amount. Breakfast and dinner room services sales were very high, but lunch sales did not reflect the same success. Total restaurant sales for both restaurants did not meet sales goals. Vending sales are by far the lowest compared to other departments? Although, this may be because room services sales were so high and guest were not using the vending machines. Room sales left a great deal to be desired; this department only having achieved 67% of the sales goal. Non-collected sales, in my opinion, were not that bad compared to the amount of revenue generated. I was surprised the lunch revenues for room service was so low compared the breakfast and dinner sale. This may because there are fewer guests in the hotel during theses hours, but the problem could also be price or selection. Maybe the lunch prices are higher than restaurants that are close to Hotel Affluent. This would cause many guests dine at location that is not associated with the hotel. The lunch room service menu could possibly need a make over. Many restaurants are starting to offer healthier lunch options that are usually considered to be “lite” lunches. If the lunch and dinner menus are similar chances are that the menu options are suited for a lunch style meal. I believe room sales are the most important aspect of a night audit, and Hotel Affluent seems to be...
