...they were plants and trees on the roof of Carrabba’s. I thought it was unique because it is something I don’t see very often. As I walked in I can hear the Italian music playing, which added on to the Italy feeling. The restaurant was loud because of all the conversations being carried throughout the restaurant. But I was still able to hear the music playing and have a conversation with my boyfriend. It also made me comfortable because when I have dinner at home, my family is always loud. Overall, I thought the restaurant was maintained clean and had a great layout. Carrabba’s offers a variety of Italian entrees, in large portions. The menu contains entrees, such as lobster ravioli or chicken parmesan. They offer a wide range of stuffed pasta, spaghettis, seafood, and pizza. Upon arrival, I was served warm bread with their signature Italian spices mixed with olive oil. I started off with an appetizer called the” Antipasti Plate, which contained their calamari, bruschetta, and mozzarella marinara. Next, it was...

...Did your mom ever tell you to not pet stray dogs? Well mine did of course, and I listened just as well as any 4 year old would. I was a very hard headed kid at that age, and I never listened to what I was told. We lived in a small town 200 miles west of Middlin, Texas; it was a quiet town with a population around 1,000 people. If you’ve ever been to Texas then you know that it’s about 90% desert, it’s a dry and dusty place. Stray dogs are everywhere be aware and whatever you do don’t pet stray dogs. It was the summer of 1991 in Middlen, Texas the temperature was around 100 degrees. I was soaked from head to toe with sweat from ridding my dirt bike all day. I had gotten a 50cc Suzuki dirt bike from my dad just a year prior and I was loving it. I rode my dirt bike all summer long that year. There was a pit not too far from my house that I could ride in that had some whoop-de-woops, and some jumps. This pit was huge, I mean it was a giant pit, it looked like a comet had struck the earth it was so big. I spent what seemed to be all day at the pit riding my dirt bike. When I finally got home I decided to cool off in the sprinklers, I ran into the house as fast as I possibly could to change clothes. As I got into the house I yelled Mom! Can I go outside and play in the sprinkler, she said yes but I had to eat supper first Dang it, I said under my breath as I continued down the long hallway. When I got to my room I looked everywhere for my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles swimming...

We are engaged in offering premium quality fine wheat with perfect homemade taste. Wheat roller mill manufactured by us is 100% free from harmful ingredients Contains high nutritional level. Helps in regular growth of body. Perfect for making soft as well as nutritious chapatti WHEAT ROLLER MILL is extensively used in flour mills to grind wheat into flour. Wheat kernels fall into the grinding zone formed by a pair of rolls rotating toward each other at different speeds and are subjected to grinding action. In roller mills, wheat seeds are grinded in the gristing phase by pairs of fluted rollers, thus being obtained a wide range of particles with sizes from < 200 μm to > 2000 μm, [1], consisting in coat particles (of larger sizes) and endosperm particles (of smaller sizes), to be further separated with plansifters. The milling process aims to grind the endosperm into finer particles of flour and semolina, while the coating and the seed particles must remain in large sizes to be separated by sifting. In gristing passages, milling rollers with fluted surface are used, and in milling passages, rollers with smooth surface are used. Wheat roller mill involves several pairs of rolls used in sequence. From the first to the last pair of rolls, the roll gap is set successively narrower as the particle size of the feed stock...

..."Choice, happiness, and spaghetti sauce" In the video, Mr.Gladwell speaks about choice and happiness. He mentions how Pepsi chose to get aspartame for their drink. He said that Pepsi had to choose on how much aspartame they should add in their drink for people to like it. Finally they thought why they shouldn’t try a new product. They came up with Diet Pepsi. They started experimenting with Diet Pepsi. While analyzing data of Diet Pepsi they came across a new question; why where they looking for the perfect Pepsi , when they should have been looking for the perfect Pepsis. Instead of looking at one choice they should have been looking at many choices. Later, Mr. Gladwell talks about Campbell’s Soup and their tomato sauce which were of two different kinds, Prego and Ragu. They strived in making the best tasting sauce ever for which they added different quantities of ingredients in their sauce. This took them a high two to three decades of great effort to figure out the choice of the consumer. Then they started adding flavor to the sauce where they dint go with the highest average. They had to stick to choose the best flavor instead of the best sauce. Mr.Gladwell quotes that a "surer way to true happiness" can be found by embracing diversity. In marketing terms, companies might be able to make profits by embracing the differences in consumer's preferences. A major challenge in the FMCG was that it was asking what the customers want. The fact is that the customers...

...200765 - HOSPITALITY OPERATIONS AND REVENUE MANAGEMENT Take-home applied exercise (1) due in week 3 (Refer to F&B abstract on pg. 49 of the Text Book). Rosabella Restaurants is a popular Italian restaurant chain located in the south-western United States. Typical Italian food such as ravioli, lasagne, and fettuccine Alfredo can be purchased at a reasonable price at these family-friendly restaurants. All of the restaurants are owned and operated by Rosabella Restaurants, Inc. Ms. Jennifer Churchman, a regional controller for Rosabella Restaurants, has seen decreasing profits from one of the properties in her region and is in the process of determining the cause of this problem. Ms. Churchman requested financial information from the property, including a food menu abstract, to get the entire picture of the restaurant’s operations. The restaurant general manager provided all of the requested information. Below is the food menu abstract for dinner entre´es over the last three months. Ms. Churchman has asked you to analyze the food menu abstract and given you the following questions to answer: QUE S T I O N S: 1. Do there appear to be any abnormalities with the report?

...Portfolio of Operational Plans in a business | Due Date: | November 8, 2011 | Grade: | 100% | Assessment One- Production Processes Description of Product/Service: A product can be defined as anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need. The product that I am choosing to sell in my restaurant is pasta all’amatriciana. This is a traditional Italian pasta dish, based on guanciale (dried pork cheek), pecorino cheese and tomato. Pasta alla matriciana is a relatively simple dish that has basic ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, bacon and of course pasta. It is traditional to use guanciale in the sauce, however at my restaurant we will be using pancetta, as it is the closest thing to guanciale. Bacon can also be used as a substitute, however it is not recommended as it is smoked and also contains sugar, which is not present in pancetta or guanciale. Workflow in creating this product: ¼ cup olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 170g pancetta, or bacon sliced ½-1 teaspoon chilli flakes, to taste 400g tin diced tomatoes ½ cup water Salt and pepper 350g-bucatini or rigatoni pasta ¼ cup grated Parmesan Parmesan, extra METHOD Gently heat oil in a medium sized saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook over a very low heat for 45 minutes or until onion is jam-like in consistency, but not coloured (NB this step is optional. If in a hurry, just brown onions and then add garlic and cook for a further minute). Turn...

...new recipes for TruEarth, maker of gourmet pastas, sauces, and meals. Her team had been working hard for the past year on a fresh whole grain pizza. The final market research results had arrived, and it was time to make a decision on launching the product. In 2006, Eckstein, a brand manager, had led the introduction of Cucina Fresca, a fresh whole grain pasta meal kit sold through supermarkets. By the end of 2007, sales had reached $23 million, making it the most successful product launch in company history. However, growth had slowed in 2008 as competitors began offering similar products. Sustaining a competitive edge in the fresh Italian food category required continual innovation and, as a result, TruEarth had invested heavily in its pizza offering. Eckstein observed: We were aggressive in launching Cucina Fresca. We made a significant investment in new manufacturing equipment and the distribution infrastructure required to get fresh food to shelves quickly. Being a small company competing against Nestle and Kraft is not easy, but we do not make rash decisions. The success of Cucina Fresca was a calculated risk based on significant research. We think we can achieve similar success with pizza, but we will need to take a hard look at the numbers. Company Background TruEarth was founded in 1993 in St. Louis, Missouri, by Gareth DeRosa, a young entrepreneur. DeRosa saw an opportunity to market healthier gourmet pastas and sauces made from superior ingredients: ...

...Italian pasta manufacturer is experiencing problems in manufacturing and distribution systems caused by fluctuations in demand. They are the worlds largest pasta producer and are initiating the Just in time Distribution (JITD), which is supposed to help the company to meet the demand fluctuations imposed by the company’s manufacturing and distribution system. The current delivery system at Barilla follows the traditional way of ordering through distribution centres placing orders with the company. Instead Barialla wants to engage its own logistics organizations, which would specify the appropriate delivery quantities that would meet end customer needs and distribute the workload on Barilla’s manufacturing and logistics systems. The Just in time Distribution has been met with significant resistance by the distributors and Barilla’s own sales and marketing organizations. After looking at all of the information provided and careful analysis of the problem I have suggested that Barilla should implement the JITD at the pilot level and once successfully implemented with positive results it should be implemented throughout in stages. I will be providing analysis and recommendations on how to increase the chances that the JITD program will work and be accepted and also consider the reasons why it should be implemented. Introduction Barilla started its production in 1875 as a small shop in Parma Italy. By the early 90s the company became one of the largest producers of pasta. It became...

...Prof. Daysi Escobar IE Business School Informe Individual: Barilla SpA Barilla SpA fundada en 1875 por Pietro Barilla es un referente mundial en la industria de producción de pastas tanto secas como frescos, como también en bollerías y salsas. En principio la empresa se ha posicionado como un ejemplo de alto crecimiento a través de los años. Para 1990 ya Barilla se había convertido en el fabricante de pastas mas grande del mundo con una cuota de mercado del 35% en Italia y el 22% para toda Europa. Todo este crecimiento es el resultado de los esfuerzos de Ricardo Barilla, hijo del fundador, quien desde la re adquisición de la empresa ha implementado ciertas estrategias en cuanto a distribución, markeitng, y toda la cadena de suministro. Incluso con sus operaciones en todo el mundo, la compañía sigue siendo privada y una empresa familiar bajo la propiedad de los tres hermanos Guido Barilla, Luca y Paolo . Entrando un poco en la industria donde Barilla se encuentra, cabe resaltar que el foco principal lo debemos tener en Italia. Este es uno de los mercados mas importantes de Barilla ya que es allí donde Barilla maneja toda su estructura de producción y distribución de sus mas de 100 productos. Esta industria consume mas de 18kg per cápita de pasta al año, lo que indica que en Italia la pasta es un plato importante del día a día, y que representa uno de los mercados mas grandes frente a consumidores directos. Con un mercado muy competitivo y con cientos de competidores...
