...retailer of prepared foods, prepared drinks and its operating performance is influenced by many of the same factors that affect traditional retail stores. For the most part, restobar has business models that are relatively easy to understand. Nonetheless, there are a number of unique factors to consider when making investment decisions regarding this large and segmented industry. Competition between restobars is intense, since dining and leisurely drinking options abound. And, while there are certainly dominant players in this industry (especially among fast-food purveyors and large fast- food chains that offers to drink and dine), no one company has the market cornered. Indeed, virtually every restobar location must compete not only against other publicly traded chains, but also with a wide array of small, local establishments with a touch of marketing strategies and advance advantages. Competitors include everything from advance technology lighting, romantic atmosphere and ambiences to boldly flavored drinks to fine- dining and drinking style. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to forgo to prepared foods and drinks which is usually a less expensive option. Statement of the Problem This part of the study has two parts. First Part: Owner Respondents This study was conducted to analyze and determine the Restobar owner’s marketing strategies and the profitability of their chosen path of business in _____________ and ____________. 1.

...Why Milk is the Best Drink at Starbucks Imraan Lilani Georgetown University Starbucks is an international café serving an extremely wide variety of hot and cold drinks, making the choice of a drink challenging. It is asserted that the ‘Venti skinny French Vanilla latte’ is the best drink served at Starbucks. However, I believe that milk is a superior beverage to all other drinks, using a number of different criteria, which include, adaptability, nutritional content, and cost. In addition, there is the emotional connection people have to their childhood when drinking milk. This paper will provide well-reasoned arguments detailing these criteria, which will demonstrate conclusively why milk is a better drink than a ‘venti skinny French Vanilla Latte’ and the best drink at Starbucks. Milk is an adaptable beverage which can be enjoyed hot or cold. During the Winter months milk can be heated up and can be a hot, soothing drink on a cold day. Conversely, in the Summer, milk can be enjoyed as a cold, refreshing beverage. As a result, milk can be adapted depending on the season and enjoyed throughout the year. This contrasts with the ‘venti skinny French Vanilla Latte’ that is only meant to be consumed as a hot drink therefore would not be as desirable on a humid, hot Summers day. Furthermore, milk is adaptable in terms of its fat content as it is possible to choose from 3 types of milk at Starbucks - full fat, 2%, or skim- ...

...our children soft drinks their blood sugar can go through the roof, only causing the problems I mentioned before. Second, children are more likely to consume soft drinks when they have no supervision to tell them no. My children are not allowed to drink soft drinks at all. That’s not to say if it’s provided at their leisure they will refrain. If there are no teacher rights for them to tell the student they are not allowed to drink the soft drink than how can we expect young children to maintain their parent’s rules. Even when children are allowed to drink soft drinks at home they can still go overboard at school with their consumption. Than the parent is left wondering why their child can’t stop bouncing off the walls. Third, drinking soft drinks can lead to tooth decay, especially in...

So with that said it made me realize that life is precious and shouldn’t take it for granted. 4. Another example is going to be personal experience. Being a bartender is an example of art. I am a bartender and I feel as if I am creating art with the different types of drinks. For example, the color of a drink, I can mix two or three different types of liquor and that will create a color. My favorite drink to make is ‘Sex on the Beach”. The reason for that is how the drink is supposed to look like pretty color water from the beach. And the taste of it is so good you don’t even know you drinking liquor. To me that’s art, for...

...Drinkin’ with Dad My family likes to drink. In fact, looking back on my life, it is really what we did together the most. It seemed like it was the one thing we were best at and proud of. My Dad used to own a bar. I began working at my Dad’s bar when I was still in school. I would walk to the bar after football practice work at the bar. On weekends I would work one night in the back. My brother John worked there too and my brother Brian got sent away. One time we were drinking at the bar and some of the guys were arm wrestling. I pretended I was beating Stan the bouncer and my Dad got mad at me for it. My Dad, thought that I was really dissing Stan. My Dad then went to the bottle bin, took out two empty beer bottles and smashed the bottoms off of them. He then told me to stand opposite him. We’ll hold these bottles out here (about a foot away from our respective faces), and at the count of ‘three’, we’ll grind this broken glass into each other’s faces. Just then, Stan got between us and grabbed my Dad’s “bottle” hand. He broke us up and Dad gave Stan a fake smile. He did not look at me and went to sit down. My Dad was not always like this, especially now that he does not drink anymore. I guess experiences like this let me know at an early age that my Dad could not really be counted on. This made me more independent. This was what was considered a typical experience for a seventh...

...mixed drinks have many adverse effects and are a dangerous cocktail. The mixed drink needs something done about it. When you ingest caffeine, it stimulates the body's fight or flight response, producing a surge of adrenaline. If our bodies are subjected to too much adrenaline, we can experience seizures, chest pain, heart palpitations and agitation – these are all signs of caffeine toxicity. The vast majority of these related to 'recreational' use of energy drinks, with affected 'recreational users' aged 15 to 21 years. Energy drinks have become enmeshed in the subculture of partying. The practice of mixing energy drinks with alcohol which is more widespread than generally recognized has been linked consistently to drinking high volumes of alcohol per drinking session and subsequent serious alcohol-related consequences such as sexual assault and driving while intoxicated....Research has demonstrated that individuals who combine energy drinks with alcohol underestimate their true level of impairment.
