My boyfriend, Eugene, and I decided to finally go and try out Café Rolle on December 4, 2015. I decided to bring Eugene with me mainly because it was his idea.

...155 NEW COMPANY-OWNED AND FRANCHISED BAKERY-CAFES IN 2006, BRINGING ITS TOTAL TO 1,027 UNITS IN 36 STATES. PLANS WERE IN PLACE TO OPEN ANOTHER 170 TO180 CAFÉ LOCATIONS IN 2007 AND TO HAVE NEARLY 2,000 PANERA BREAD BAKERY-CAFÉS OPEN BY THE END OF 2010. MANAGEMENT WAS CONFIDENT THAT PANERA BREAD’S ATTRACTIVE MENU AND THE DINING AMBIANCE OF ITS BAKERY-CAFÉS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OPPORTUNITY, DESPITE THE FIERCELY COMPETITIVE NATURE OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY. Panera Bread competed with specialty food, casual dining and quick service restaurant retailers including national, regional and locally owned restaurants. Its closest competitors were restaurants in the so-called “fast casual” restaurant category. Fast casual restaurants filled the gap betweeen fast-food and casual, full table service dining. A fast casual restaurant provided quick-service dining (much like fast-food enterprises) but were distinguished by enticing menus, higher food quality, and more inviting dining environments; typical meal costs per guest were in the $7-$12 range. Some fast casual restaurants had limited table service and some were self-service (like fast-food establishments). Between January 1999 and December 2006, close to 850 additional Panera Bread bakery-cafés were opened, some company-owned and some franchised. Panera Bread reported sales of $829.0 million and net income of $58.8 million in 2006. Sales at franchise-operated Panera Bread bakery-cafés totaled $1.2 billion in 2006. Already...

It owned over 3,500 stores and was beloved by many loyal customers. But in 2008, its domestic growth became slow. The board of directors began to think about its overseas expansion. China was their target market since it had 1.4 billion people, and the 14.5% GDP growth over the past decade. Many American food companies like KFC and McDonald had proved that China was a worthy market to invest. However, Levendary didn’t make a proper plan before they entered China.

A headquarter should be made in China , and there should be a local team which carried out the strategy of the Levendary HQ and manage the China business. Secondly, the manager who was responsible for China business should be well concerned since this position was quite important for...

...TITLE: OBSERVATION AT A POPULAR BOOKSTORE CAFÉ Over the past few years, commercial spaces have become areas for multifunction activities. Along with the availability of gourmet coffee, food, ample seating, and free WIFI bookstore cafes have welcomed a clientele that blends leisure, social and work related activities. In this context, a local popular Barnes and Noble bookstore cafe served as the perfect environment to perform a field observation for this assignment and to explore customer behaviors and reasons for patronizing this particular establishment. Nestled in a busy Shopping Center on the east side of a traffic jammed Central Avenue, in Westchester County, Barnes and Noble bookstore is surrounded by a movie theater, restaurants, popular stores, and ample parking. This observation was performed at this establishment during one two-hour visit on a cold weekday mid afternoon between 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm. Upon entering through the main heavy double doors, a strong inviting aroma of toast and brewed coffee permeated from the “Café” located to the left, far north end past the magazine section. This was a busy place buzzing with loud sounds of blenders, toast popping out of toasters, grinding coffee, milk frothing, calling of drinks and food by the baristas, and, back and forth chatters between customers. Outside, pedestrians wearing heavy coats peered in through a series of large windows as the mid afternoon light poured in creating a bright and warm...

...range of regional dishes. After a series of jobs, in the mid 1930s at the age of forty, Colonel Sanders bought a service station, motel and cafe at Corbin, a town in Kentucky about 25 miles from the Tennessee border. He began serving meals to travellers on the dining table in the living quarters of his service station because he did not have a restaurant. It is here that Sanders began experimenting with different seasonings to flavour his chicken which travellers loved and for which he soon became famous. He then moved across the street to a motel and restaurant, which seated 142 people. During the next nine years he developed his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique which is still used today. Sander's fame grew. Governor Ruby Laffoon made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contributions to the state's cuisine. And in 1939, his establishment was first listed in Duncan Hines' "Adventures in Good Eating". A new interstate highway carried traffic past the town, which soon had a devastating affect on his business. He sold up and travelled the United States by car, cooking chicken for restaurant owners and their employees. If the reaction was favourable Sanders entered into a handshake agreement on a deal which stipulated a payment to him of a nickel for each chicken the restaurant sold. By 1964, from that humble beginning, Colonel Harland Sanders had 600 franchise outlets for his chicken across the United States...

BARTLETT Documento para uso exclusivo no AESE-SORBONNE 2013 (2013-06-18) ARAR HAN Levendary Café: The China Challenge Levendary Café was spun out from private equity ownership in January 2011, and the following month, Mia Foster was named as its new CEO. The departing CEO, Howard Leventhal, was the beloved founder of the popular chain of 3,500 cafés. He had grown a small Denver soup, salad, and sandwich restaurant into a $10 billion business, but after 32 years was moving on to new interests. This was Foster’s first job as CEO. Previously, the 47-year-old had been president of the U.S. business of a large American fast food company for seven years. She had started her career at a major global accounting firm, leaving to earn an MBA from Wharton. Upon graduation, she had become a consultant at McKinsey before taking a job in product management at P&G, where she worked her way up the ranks. Foster was known for her frank communication style and strong execution. In spite of the promise held by the Levendary brand and Foster’s strong track record, Wall Street was cautious about the stock. While the company’s fundamentals were strong and its performance generally in line with management forecasts, its shares traded at a discount to comparable restaurant stocks. There were two reasons for this. First, analysts were concerned that Levendary’s domestic business was nearly tapped out. Second, given Foster's lack of previous...
