This material will explain the areas of our code of conduct that are important to our business with emphasis on why it should be significant to our business. We will also go in detail of how our business can make sure that our employees follow the rules that are put into action.

The Cheesecake Factory Code of Conduct
The Code of ethics in which our company enforces has a high priority for keeping our company successful with maintaining the respect of our employees and keeping our exceptional customers happy. We place a high regard in our managers to making an outstanding effort to keep honesty along fair business practices in mind for the company. We make every effort to deter the wrong doing of employees with striving for continuous promotions from within our company.
Key Interests
Some main areas in which we place focus on would be describe as our honesty and integrity, compliance with governmental laws, rules and regulations. Our fair business practices, privacy and security of business affairs and business information. We require all employees to act in the best interest of the company any misconduct that shows it is not in best interest of the business such actions can lead to termination. The areas specified are very important to the company’s overall success as well as creating better ventures for the company to embark upon. This also plays a quality part in our loyal customers being happy with our impressionable service. It keeps our employees striving for the best service possible which in turns keeps the company at its best. Our process for ensuring the quality performance from our employees would be to have all staff read and agree with signature to our code of conduct. Making sure our communication with our employees stays open and socially accepted. Make each person accountable for his/her actions if any code is violated the responsible party will have disciplinary action, an investigation will be launched and depending on the finding can lead to termination which is dealt with on a case basis. It is our responsibility to ensure the company is taking the proper steps of enforcing the Code of ethics established.

The Cheese Cake Factory prides itself on what we can give back to the community. We plan on launching our new division called giving back the Cheese where we place more focus on giving to the great patrons who visit our restaurants each and every day. We have amazing activities in store for our customers such as Community day where all day customers will be able to participate in drawings to win gift cards to our establishment and some surrounding businesses, we look to incorporate a Ladies Wednesday where our drink specials are half price. We also have something special for the kids a sidewalk carnival with face painting and rides to show our families how much we appreciate their patronage.

In conclusion The Cheese Cake Factory is looking to make a more impressionable print in our society and we will continue to give our best to our employees and to our customers.
