...life. People cannot afford anymore to cook their own meals, it is important to have food fast and cheap at work, at school and at social events. This is why catering has become multibillion dollar industry, giving job for thousands of people. Catering is a business of providing foodservice at a certain site such as hotel, school, workplace or other locations. In such a busy environment, people always find ways to wrap up the daily routine things to properly concentration their core jobs. If a person from his native homeland comes to other country and then wants to arrange a party with food according to his motherland, than this catering industry will help him. Because of the diverse market throughout the world, the catering industry is very well accustomed to the traditions of the countries in which they have entered. Here we can see the clear sign of globalization and its impacts on the company like Sodexo. Because of which, we can arrange parties with our cultural food even if we are not in our country. This can be easily expressed in such a way: “Something about others you learn, something about you others learn, that’s how Globalization works and the companies grow.” 1. Customers (segmentation), Upon demand and profile, catering companies are divided into low-scale and high-scale catering.

...[pic] BUS488 Strategy Assignment 2 - Individual Assignment July 2012 Presentation By: Tang Jiwei (Z0902316) Introduction: South Beauty Group Founded in 2000, the South Beauty Group has come to be a successful player in China’s catering industry. By 2007, the Group had expanded to 20 outlets in commercially valuable locations in China, with three different brands. Winning a contract to become a food service partner of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 would bring more revenue than in 2007 to the Group. Challenges lay ahead for the company as founder Zhang Lan sought to expand the Group’s operations worldwide. An ambitious plan of increasing the number of outlets from 20 locally to 100 worldwide over the next three years raised critical decisions that the Group had to make. These include the issues of standardization in the process of food preparation to increase efficiency and quality, the prioritization of markets to enter, entry into new businesses including airline catering, and the expansion model to follow. Question 1 A competitive advantage is a strategy implemented by a firm which competitors find are unable to duplicate or too costly to imitate, and strategic competitiveness is achieved when a firm formulates and implements a strategy that creates value successfully (Hitt et al., 2011, pp. 4).

...got that. Also, as Judi Gallagher, a Chef and a Caterer said, “I look for character, passion, the ability to accept direction, multitask, work as a team, and be a leader.” I feel like all of those things are so important in the customer service industry. I feel like I would be strongly interested in catering. By contrast, the type of things that made the catering related positions less interested is the fact that it is super time consuming. I feel like if I was going to be involved in a wedding planning business for example, the time and effort I will have to put into my job will leave me no personal time for my family and friends. Those will be important things I will have to sacrifice. Also the amount of pressure from the customers’ side will be a big downside in this business too. I mean you are planning one of the biggest event in their life, the pressure is going to be unbelievable for both you and the customer. Everything has to be perfect and fits whatever your customer’s needs are. Referring to the areas reviewed in this class, Food Service industry would be my choice as an entry point for my career. A specific position of interest for me would be a caterer/event planner. The first biggest reason for my choice in the catering/event planning business is because of my passion ever since I was a kid. I have always loved to see happy people, and as a little kid, the only places I would see so many happy people were either at a festival, or at a wedding. I always wanted...

...with item selections. Market Research Marketing research is defined as the gathering, analyzing, and interpreting of information about a market. Research is conducted on a product or service to be offered for sale in that market based on past, present, and potential customers. It analyzes the characteristics, spending habits, location, and needs of the target market, the industry, and the competition the business will face (Entrepreneur Media, Inc., 2011). After a visit to the Kudler website, it has been determined that further research is needed to determine a new course of action for the organization. The surveys currently offered at the store provide some information, but they do not give enough information to adequately chart a new marketing plan. This means that further research must be conducted to determine the organizations appropriate course of action. Defining the marketing problem. At the present it seems that not enough information has been gathered to analyze the marketing problem. Kudlers needs information, which will help them to determine what is needed to expand the catering service, in-store cooking events, and the organic food lines, which they already offer in all locations. The company needs a plan, which will help them to track the effectiveness of their decisions. This can be accomplished by tracking the sales or events they plan to kick off and what they...

...Q1. Panera Bread has established a unique position in the restaurant industry by developing itself with various approaches. First of all, Panera Bread has observed the consumer always wanted good food quality and speed services. This has given the Panera Bread an opportunity to reposition itself by joining the concept of fast food and casual dining category. This category provided the consumer the alternative they wanted by capturing the advantages of the both categories. Besides, with the good timing, which became the first mover to this new category also led itself to this favorable position. This new category has made Panera Bread’s position not only unique but also contributed to its success. Panera Bread did a lot of things to distinguish itself from its rivals such as adding specialty food, different menus, catering service, new time suggesting of specialty food and providing inviting neighborly atmosphere. According to the text, Panera Bread serves nearly six million customers a week system wide and become one of the largest chains. This shows that the unique position has contributed to its success. In my opinion, I think Panera Bread will reach its goal because the company is relying on its unique position strategy, its signature foods and savvy execution to make this goal a reality. Q2. Q3.

...Wembley Campus, London Task1 1.1characteristics of food production and beverage service systems Food Production Methods Food production methods in the catering industry evolved over a period of time when there was an great quantity of labour. The design of the established kitchen, first introduced into the UK in the latter half of the nineteenth century, grew up around the division of tasks into parties (comparable tasks with numerous foods were carried out by a particular group of people). This was the progress of the parties system. The rigid demarcation between the sections meant that the staffing ratio was high in comparison with the number of meals served. During the first half of the twentieth century there was little or no technical change in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Most managers and chefs had been trained in the old traditional methods which gave reasonably satisfactory results, and to them there seemed little reason to change. It is only during the last forty years that changes in the old traditional methods have evolved. These changes were slow to appear and started in the manufacturing industry rather than in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Technical research was done by the major firms of food suppliers and their products slowly became accepted by the catering industry, as skilled catering staff began to be in short supply. This was further optimistic by the rising costs of space that was necessary for a traditional kitchen. Traditional kitchen...

...Edward’s Restaurant and Sir George’s Catering Case Analysis General Environment Demographic: Industry: Demographic factors are favorable to the restaurant industry. Approximately 52% of the 1993 population in the area was 60 years of age or over. This was considered the restaurant’s main target market. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons. The climate was attractive for growing population of seniors. Land prices, housing, taxes, and utilities were affordable. With the average cost of an acre of industrial land in the Penticton area at $45000 in 1991, businesses were attracted to the area. Between 1984 and 1991, manufacturing jobs in the region had nearly doubled plus house price were low. Population increased during that period of time. Climate is the biggest factor of population increase. Penticton has the best climate in Canada. With population of 27,000 people seemed to indicate 27-30 would be an appropriate number of restaurants for the city. At that time, however, there were about 100 eating establishments. (Not enough people for that number of restaurants). During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the number of people taking up permanent residence in the valley increased dramatically for various reasons.
