Unit introduction Marketing is at the heart of every organisation’s activity. Its importance is also growing in the non-commercial, public and voluntary sectors.

...WAFFLES AND PANCAKES A Feasibility Study Presented to The Faculty of College of Industrial Technology University of Rizal System Morong, Rizal In Partial Fulfilment of The Requirement for the Degree Bachelor of Technology Major in Hotel and Restaurant Management MA. ANGELIKA L. SEVERINO October 2015 CHAPTER 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Introduction The phenomenal success of Waffle Time and Pancake Houses has opened the door for many entrepreneurs in the Philippines to start their own businesses. Everyone else wants to learn these companies' trade secrets. However, the success of the business does not lie on the recipe itself. It's a combination of marketing strategy, good location, quality product and service, and branding. We need this project because many of Filipinos are hooked up by this waffles and pancakes. And with so many all-day breakfast restaurants popping up, it’s never been easier to eat breakfast food at any time of the day or if you’re a breakfast addict, for every meal. It’s not molecular gastronomy, but waffle can be a bit tricky. It can be mean different things to different people, for one thing. While it was the ancient Greeks who originally started cooking flat cakes between hot metal plates, it wasn’t until the 13th Century that they started being stamped with various designs. The Dutch were the ones who started calling them waffles and today, there are several different Belgium alone. Pancakes have a long history, dated back to the times of Ancient...

...Unit 4: Unit code: QCF Level 3: Credit value: Business Communication H/502/5413 BTEC National 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to show learners that the collection and management of business information, and the successful communication of that information throughout a business, is critical for the future prosperity of the organisation. Unit introduction A business needs accurate and relevant information from internal and external sources in order to operate profitably. Proper collection of data creates an environment where informed decisions can be taken for the benefit of the business. In order to manage information effectively, there must be good communication systems within the organisation. Staff must possess good verbal and written skills in order to communicate and share information Business information can be used to obtain competitive advantage and promote efficiency. Organisations generate information internally, recording details of products manufactured, purchased and sold, and their associated costs. Businesses use information to manage not only what is currently happening in the organisation but also to plan for the future and ensure their survival. Information is collected, stored, manipulated, analysed and reported to those who need to use it. People need to become skilled manipulators and users of information to ensure organisations become more efficient and succeed in achieving their stated purposes. Since the...

...Introduction The aims of this assignment are to measure the outcome of students’ learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed and skills or abilities gained in relation to the achievement of the learning outcomes. Learners are expected to use their acquired knowledge to prepare a business report of not less than 3,500 words, clarity of ideas and presentation would attract extra marks as well as use of own initiative and real and imaginative scenarios to demonstrate understanding of the course. COURSE WORK- PROCTER & GAMBLE Zeroing in on the first moment of truth Procter & Gamble, a world leader in consumer packaged goods, sells nearly 300 brands in more than 160 countries. It has sales of $40 billion a year and 130 manufacturing sites around the world. P&G measures consumer satisfaction at two levels, which it calls the two “moments of truth.” The first moment of truth occurs when the consumer reaches the shelf and finds that the desired product is, or is not, available. This is a critical moment, because if the product is not immediately available, the consumer usually moves on to buy a rival product. The second moment of truth depends on the buyer’s satisfaction when consuming the product. This, too, has a crucial impact on consumer loyalty, but is beyond the scope of this case study. Detailed consumer surveys in July 2000 told P&G that in 55% of cases (75% for promotional items), consumers were not satisfied when they looked...
