Usually the menu consists of such items as spinach and artichoke dip, fried chicken, different types of steaks, salads, as well as hamburgers, French fries, ice cream and apple pie. These are different types of foods from those offered by Chili's, and they promote more of a small town family feeling as compared to Chili's party mood. Atmosphere is another characteristic that shows how Applebee's is a small town restaurant and Chili's is a party restaurant. For example, it can be seen that Applebee's strives to be a hometown restaurant bar and grill. Applebee's likes to call itself a "neighborhood" place to go. In order to enhance the small town neighborhood image, Applebee's uses light pinewoods for trim for the tables, bench seats, and chairs. The booths are roomy to accommodate lots of people. Free balloons are offered to kids in the restaurant as well, further promoting the neighborhood feel. In general it can be said that Applebee's atmosphere is that of a small town, neighborhood, and family restaurant.

Transaction analysis: the accountant analyzes the transaction in terms of which account has been impacted upon 3. Journalization: the transaction gets recorded in a source journal. For example, the credit sale would likely get recorded in a sales journal. Other journals are: purchases...
