...Eat at My Restaurant - Cash Flow Cash is vitally important in the business world. Without it, no firm will survive fowor long. Consequently, understanding a company’s cash inflows and cash outflows is critical for investors. The statement of cash flows provides a revealing examination of these flows, i.e. how a company makes and spends their cash. Furthermore, the cash flow ratios that can be computed from the statement of cash flow can be very telling. The case study entitled, “Eat at M Restaurant - Cash Flow” analyzes several cash flow ratios of three restaurant companies. The statement of cash flows classifies cash receipts and cash payments into operating, investing, and financing activities. However, with consideration to the long-term profitability of a company, the net cash provided by operating activities may be the most significant. Essentially, it is the amount of cash generated by the company from its main operations. These funds not only fund the business, but also keep the company alive when times are tough in the investing and financing world. Therefore, from an investor’s standpoint, it is imperative that cash flow from operations represents a substantial portion of a company’s profits or net income. The first restaurant company examined, Yum Brands, Inc., experienced a sharp decline in their operating cash flow/current maturities of long-term debt and current notes payable. This ratio indicates a firm’s ability to meet the current maturities...

Norton The Experts Gideon Lask is the founder of BuyaPowa, a UK-based social commerce business. Do Social Deal Sites Really Work? T he sales reps from DailyDilly had just finished their rollicking video presentation, and the laughter in the meeting room was starting to subside. Ruth Davison, the marketing director of Flanagan Theme Parks, was still smiling when she finally spoke. “I’m thoroughly impressed,” she said. “This would give us the marketing capabilities we’ve always wanted.” Will Eastman, Flanagan’s operations director, was beaming. He had suggested doing the promotion with DailyDilly, a fast-growing Australian social-couponing company similar to Groupon and LivingSocial. “Then I think we’re ready to make a decision,” he said. Everyone looked at Allie James, a consultant decades younger than Will and Ruth. Allie had been working with Flanagan for just over a month. She knew she had to kill the DailyDilly initiative but was reluctant to do it with the reps present. “Let’s discuss this off-line,” she said. Will slapped the table. “Come on,” he demanded. “We’re here now.” The DailyDilly reps became wide-eyed. Allie took a deep breath. If Will was going to push her, she’d be blunt. “No, then,” Allie said. “It’s not on.” Will pushed his chair back and walked out of the room...

Eating healthy foods lowers your risk for heart disease, diabetes, being overweight or obese, and certain types of cancer. Avoiding these conditions saves you from heartache and sickness, and also saves you money with lower healthcare costs.

We wish to gratefully acknowledge the help of Abrakebabra Limited who have co-operated in this research by giving access to management, staff, franchisees and company documents. Financial support of a grant from Davys Stockbrokers to undertake a series of case studies is gratefully acknowledged. Disclaimer: This case is intended to be used as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation. © Copyright Rosalind Beere, Peter Mc Namara and Colm O’Gorman, 2004, UCD Business Schools. 1 “A LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY” In the early 1980’s Dublin city lacked the restaurant culture of other European cities. Instead Dublin’s social life centred on a vibrant pub culture, with bars focusing on drink sales, rather than offering food to customers. So, on leaving a pub after an evenings drinking, Dubliners had few options for late night eating. For one twenty-two year old, Graeme Beere, this problem represented a business opportunity. In 1982 Graeme, with the help of his brother Wyn, opened a new fast-food restaurant targeted at Dublin’s pub going population. The offering was new for Dublin: a product mix of kebabs, burgers and chips; late night opening; and the option to ‘eat-in’. Making a play on the word ‘kebab’ and Steve Miller’s No. 1 hit song ‘Abracadabra’...

...Eat at my Restaurant Kiersten Galuszka Colorado State University-Global Campus The statement of cash flows is regarded as one of the most important financial statements in regards to determining the liquidity of a company. Cash is how a business pays its bills and operates its business. Lenders and shareholders look to the statement of cash flows to understand how well a company manages its cash and cash equivalents. The statement of cash flows “classifies cash receipts and cash payments into operating, investing, and financing activities.” (Gibson, 2013). Financial ratios have been created in order to compare cash flows to other variables in the statement of cash flows. The cash flow statement can also be utilized to compare the liquidity and profitability of different companies. Net cash provided by operating activities is a calculation derived from the inflows and outflows of cash in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. The operating activities include the effects from cash transactions and other situations that affect net income. Examples of operating cash inflows are money received from interest, sales on goods and services, and return on equity. Cash outflows include payments to employees, taxes, and payments of interest expense. The operating activities section is presented using either the direct or indirect method. In the indirect method, the statement of cash flows begins with the net income or loss for the period. Additions, such as cash received...

...Krispy Kreme Case Study FINA 470-01 Strategic Financial Management Company Overview: Krispy Kreme is a retailer and wholesaler of “high quality doughnuts and packaged sweets” (2010 10-K report) as well as various beverages. Krispy Kreme consists of stores and franchises that include domestic and international franchises, company stores and the KK Supply Chain. Krispy Kreme is also the sole provider to all their stores and franchises of the ingredients and equipment needed for store operations via the KK Supply Chain. Notably, neither equipment nor ingredients can be purchased from any other vendor and thus the franchises/stores are completely dependent upon Krispy Kreme. Vernon Rudolph acquired the Krispy Kreme recipe from a New Orleans chef and moved to Nashville and opened his own doughnut shop in 1937. Initially selling to grocery stores, he ended up cutting a hole in the building to sell to passersby who inquired about buying hot donuts directly from the bakery. Mr. Rudolph patented Krispy Kreme in 1939. Family members joined the bakery to help Rudolph meet rising demand for his doughnuts. Rudolph invented and built all his donut making equipment. To date, the company still uses only company made equipment. Other stores started popping up around the south in the 1950s and 1960s as the company quickly expanded. Rudolph died in 1973 and as the company began to flounder, it was sold to Beatrice Foods in 1976. Original franchisees repurchased the company...

... Executive Summary Wendy’s is currently the world’s 2nd largest quick-service hamburger company, operating 1,438 stores and franchising 5,177 store in the U.S. and 27 countries world-wide. This highly competitive segment of the restaurant industry forces Wendy’s to compete not only in terms of food quality, price, convenience and value; but also for customers, employees and real estate. In 2011 and 2012, Wendy’s sales were $2,431 million and $2,505 million respectively. Despite this increase in sales, Wendy’s profit margin was only .2%. The major areas of concern for Wendy’s are its high cost of goods sold, high costs related to the owner ship of stores, its failure to communicate its brand and customer service. To combat these problems, ABC Consulting proposes that Wendy’s cut 100 underperforming store, and sell off franchise stores. Additionally, Wendy’s should reevaluate its employee training and retrain all employees on customer service standards. Create standardized procedures for preparing food, and retrain employees on customer service and finally increase product offerings consistent with Wendy’s goal of offering quality food - fast. Background Wendy’s was started in 1969 when Dave Thomas opened his first restaurant in Columbus Ohio. While other companies were selling frozen...
