...Anonymous Evaluation Paper Red Lobster Evaluation Red Lobster is a restaurant that is notorious for claiming they provide excellent seafood. Their promise is to provide tasty seafood while also providing people with a wonderful dining experience. Here is Red Lobster’s story taken straight from their website, “Here at Red Lobster we’re passionate about serving our guests great seafood. It’s why we go the extra mile to bring you the best dining experience possible. Our fishermen take pride in catching only the highest quality seafood, and the freshest fish. Our grill master’s expertly perfect flavors, cooking seafood and steak over a wood fire grill. And our servers pull out all the stops to make every dining experience feel extra special. It’s our passion. It’s our pride. Because at Red Lobster, we Sea Food Differently.” For me, I was anxious to see if the Red Lobster restaurant made me feel like I was having a real, oceanic experience. It is hard to have great seafood when comparing it to fresh, straight out of the ocean, seafood. Like many restaurants, Red Lobster has claimed it provides a comforting atmosphere, tasty seafood, and excellent service; however, I believe Red Lobster actually upholds its overall promise to its guests. Immediately after walking into Red Lobster, I felt as if I was walking into a restaurant striving for that “right off the coast,” appeal. I could sense that Red Lobster was trying its hardest to appeal to every guest that entered through...

Keep an excel file of customer information including all the information that grandpa knows about each customer. Offer free coffee for customer birthdays. Post pictures on a bulletin board so that customers feel special. c) Remaining competitive: should have a lot to do with customer loyalty since initially we won't have the money to invest in top of the line equipment or technology. Constantly visiting area coffee shops see what the competition is offering. Holding focus groups to get feedback from the community. Starbucks Rumor Some of this may be relevant to other parts of the business but I posted it here for now since it relates to employees. - Address employee concerns o Identify examples where other cafes have survived despite the opening of a nearby Starbucks o Provide ongoing employee training to develop great people skills, teach employees about coffees and nutrition to make them experts. o Offer a free meal to employees for every shift of at least four hours and encourage them to try different things so they better know the menu.

...1. The specials and the standards need to separate for the following reasons: a. They are not the exactly same process. The process for special carpets adds more steps than the standards carpets. So it is not convenient to use the same line. b. The setup time is too long. It costs as much as hours to changeover from the standard products to the special products. It costs money and requires storage space, and some of it will probably go to waste. c. The hurry order. There is third order called hurry order. When it happens, the process need to stop for rush special due, and the standard and special products will be delay to get to customers. If there are two lines, the special order’s influence will be down. The standard products and the special products can run in one line. 2. The JIT philosophy is that getting the right quantity of goods at the right place at the right time. It’s based on the simplicity and emphasis on quality. But in the Katz Carpeting company, the inventories of the carpets were high. They produced a lot what they already had , yet not enough of what was needed. They can’t get the right quantity of goods. 3. The following is the steps to implement the JIT system. First, they should make quality improvements. Their quality was becoming a problem, with customers frequently returning carpets for rips or incorrect dyed colors. They need to solve these problems, because the quality is pervasive and all the JIT objectives are dependent on quality improvement...

...Gardener. Mentor. Friend. This is not a direct sequel to “Best Gift, Ever!”, but it almost is. I got so many positive comments and questions after that particular blog-post that I started to imagine my future celebrity book-signings, huge six-figure (even seven-figure) royalties. Why, I was even already on Oprah, to talk about my latest book and how well it’s doing on New York’s bestseller list. Dr. Phil was recommending it as well. Just before it became recommended reading for every child-psychology course in the US and Canada. Translated into fifty different languages, many hospitals were already talking of putting it in every new parent’s hands. Wonderful! Amen, somebody! But coming back down to earth, the immediate questions that faced me were, if you indeed want to give your child or ward the best gift ever, how would you go about it? How would you help your child become independent in this world, and have the ability to navigate this world as she pleases? How do you prepare her for a world that does not yet exist? One of the very best analogies I’ve found, for how to bring the best out of your growing child, is the art (yes, art) of growing a plant. Well, you don’t expect your child to remain rooted to one spot his whole life but the similarities are many. Scientists have long talked about “Nature vs Nurture”. Which has the strongest pull on how well a child does physically and mentally? Is the child a successful musician because the genes are there, or because he was...

...Part C According to Anton Shone (2001), an event experience describes ‘an opportunity for leisure, social or cultural experience outside the normal range of choices or beyond everyday experience’. In order to describe the event’s experience, this quote is quite helpful. In terms of experience, an event should get the visitor out of everyday life. It should provide the participant a new and exciting world in order to create a unique experience. Coming to the event, it can be said that the escape out of the real world worked rather good. The event provided a lot of targets with which an exclusive experience could be formed. Coming to the actual event, the Groniger festival gave visitors the opportunity to experience many different things on many different places. The experience was formed due to the variety of happenings and the diversity of spectrums. People as well as our group could not have the chance to be bored or uninterested due to many the locations. As soon as something turned to be tedious, people changed to the next place. The event provided the chance to feel highly involved. The reason for this was the interaction with the audience. In comparison to other happenings like this, the ‘Nach van kunst en weterschap’ gave people the chance to actively try things, experiment with science and art and be involved as an individual. To give an example for this, a group of scientists offered the opportunity to create and see your own DNA. You had to wash your mouth with salt...

...Professor Schmidt 3/20/2016 Phil 195 Philosophy and Music Exam answer the following short answer questions: 1. How did the views of music change from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance/ Enlightenment? Music in the Middle ages continued on the idea from agent Greeks that there were two separate ideas or views of music, First type of music was the music seen as proper, the proper music was seen almost as a branch of knowledge, including the math and ratio behind a musical number, in this instance music was considered as an aid to spiritual experiences and was seen as a holy endeavor on its own. The second type of Music was the improper form of music, which is used as temptation, which seemed to coerce the body to move rather than exercising and expanding one’s mind. This kind of music almost had a demonic takeover kind of characteristic to it, this music takes one’s mind away from reason and toward instinctual behaviors. During the renaissance arguments would be made for both of these views of music, one can see how arguments can be made for which form of music is more natural. The mathematical relationship intertwined in a piece of shows how music in this form is almost connected to some kind of universal truth. Whereas music as a mover of a body, can be seen as natural because it seems to trigger some kind of evolutionary switch inside of...

...was lucky enough to attend the concert of the music concert of the Mannheim Steamroller, which in my mind blew me away with its interesting and innovative way to include Christmas Music and Other genre of music. This production was extra special because it was the 25th anniversary for this historic performance. The composer, Chip Davis, whom has won a Grammy Award for his work, created a show that featured the great and talented music of the Mannheim Steamroller and included state of the art effects and visuals. It was truly a breathe taking performance. It was also a performance I would most likely come to again if it comes around soon or is around where I live. The music for the concert by Mannheim Steamroller was very delightful, and showed great display of all the instruments. I enjoyed the concert with great enthusiasm because previously before attending the concert I had never heard such music. After listening to a few songs, I turned to my buddy who came with me and said this music is new to me and that is why I was enjoying it so much. If I had to relate a chapter from our book or lessons into the music from the concert, I would say it would fit into the classical category. It was fun to listen to music that I currently do not listen to very often. If I had to relate this to my history 203 class I would say you would most likely here this in the classical era. Which was a considerably long time ago, rather than most music around today? This concert was great and...

...13th in Fullerton California at a bar named the Slidebar. The bands that performed were Livication, Special Blend, and the main performance was by Brewfish. These bands are all of the reggae/rock genre with Brewfish also containing a little alternative and pop as well. The Slidebar’s setup is very organized having a stage down a hall in the back room separated from the bar, which makes for a decently spacious event for a bar. The Slidebar’s purpose was and is to provide local college students that make up a big part of the area in downtown Fullerton with good music and a hyped, yet still relaxing environment. I feel that the Slidebar as well as the bands did a fine job bringing a good environment and in turn making the whole venue a big success. I believe the event was effective because of the bands that were chosen to play for the type of crowd that usually attends at this particular bar. This bar typically features rock and punk style bands...
