...CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION A snack bar usually refers to an inexpensive food counter that is part of a permanent structure where snack foods and light meals are sold. A beach snack bar is often a small building situated high on the sand. Besides soft drinks, candies and chewing gum, some snack bars sell hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, potato chips, corn chips and other foods. While this is usually the case, sometimes "snack bar" refers to a small café or cafeteria. Various small, casual dining establishments might be referred to as a "snack bar," including a beverage and snack counter at a movie theater and/or a small deli. Many places that have snack bars have a "No Outside Food or Drink" policy, to encourage sales. The first known use of the word "snack bar" was in 1930. A snack food or commonly called snack is seen in Western Culture as a type of food not meant to be eaten as a main meal of the day, unlike breakfast, lunch or dinner but rather a assuage/moderate a person’s hunger between these meals, providing brief supply of energy for the body. The term way also refers to a food item consumed between meals purely for the enjoyment of its taste. Snacks are terrific way to satisfy hunger and get all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs.

...[pic] [pic] Charles Pae Quyen Nguyen Jamie Rodman Alexander Perry BSBA 3800 February 24, 2005 Executive Summary The business began with two brothers. In 1937, Dick and Maurice McDonalds opened a small drive-in restaurant east of Pasadena, California. They served hotdogs and shakes. This led to the creation of a bigger drive-in which operated successfully and by 1948, the brothers had a made a fortune they never expected. The brothers realized that hamburgers comprised of 80 percent of their sales and closed their doors to re-evaluate their business model. The same year, in 1948 the model was about affordable dining for family who wanted to eat out. The “Speedy Service System” was also implemented that included an assembly line of sorts, a nine-item menu, and an all male staff. The operations were proven successful in 1952 ad the first franchise was sold to Neil Fox who opened a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona and created the well-known golden arches of McDonalds. Fox had huge success with the store and the brothers were reluctant at first to begin a national franchise system, but soon realized that too many copycats were creeping up and they needed an advantage and a head start. Ray Croc joined the team as the exclusive franchise agent in the United States. Some of the problems and challenges facing the company is the increase in competition, poor management, bad marketing, and lack of response to the changes...
