Business Concept Overview As a busy new mom trying to juggle the demands of running a household, working full time and attending business school, I am constantly finding myself opting for convenience over health when it comes to eating. Previously, I was a meticulous meal planner for clean eating, spending tens of hours per week on researching, planning, shopping, prepping and cooking. While a healthy lifestyle is more important to me than ever since becoming a mom, there are not enough hours in my day for the dedication this regimen requires…until now. My business model is for a grocery store to offer a meal planning solution for clean eating and delivers all of the ingredients to your doorstep.

...Personal Responsibility Essay Laurie Smith GEN 200 January 4, 2012 Adrianna Szymkowski Personal Responsibility Essay I believe personal responsibility is an important part of success. Whether the success I am trying to achieve is educational, professional or personal. If I do not take reasonability for myself I will not be successful in anything I strive to do. It is my opinion that an important personal trait to have is organization. I believe with proper organization you can achieve personal responsibility which helps you achieve success. I define personal responsibility as having integrity, accepting consequences and the effects that an individual’s actions have on others. To me integrity has three characteristics: being honest, having values or morals, and being self-aware. I believe it is a conscious decision to admit ones mistakes by telling the truth whether or not someone is watching me. Values are used to create an individual’s moral compass telling me what is right or wrong. I feel that many values a person has is often constructed by a person’s culture as well as the individuals that raised them; I believe that a person always has the choice to reevaluate and change their morals as they choose. For a person to have self-awareness I consider if the individual is not only reliable and trustworthy but also possesses humility and are humble instead of a sense of indulgent pride. Another trait of personal responsibility is accepting consequences. I consider accepting...

...Introduction McDonalds is one of the world’s leading fast food chain restaurants. It account for the total of over 30,000 restaurants in over 119 countries. All these McDonalds restaurants serve around 50 million people every day. There are ups and downs in every business. Every business has to face challenges over the time. Out of those challenges, one of the major challenges faced by McDonalds was supply chain management. Supply chain management involves creating a balance between minimising wastage as well as at the same time meeting customers’ needs. Wastage is reduced by two major steps:- * Accurate forecasting (product is not ordered in excess) * Accurate supply control of raw material. Supply chain management involves creating balance between customers need at the same time minimising wastage of product including raw material. It is believed to be very tough to balance. In order to fulfil changing taste of customers, McDonald’s needs to introduce new products to their existing menu, which in turns make it even harder to minimise wastage. Importance of required change In early days, stock ordering was so easy at all McDonald’s restaurants. Stock ordering was responsibility of restaurant manager. They order stock using their local knowledge, as well as data on what the store sold previous day, week and month. For example, if last week's sales figures showed they sold 100 units of coffee and net sales were rising at 10%, they would expect to sell 110 units...

...UNIT – 1 / ADVERTISING Advertising Literal meaning of Advertising: Advertising was originated from a Latin term ―advertire‖ which means ―to turn to.‖ The dictionary meaning of the term advertising is ―to give public notice or to announce publicly.‖ Definition of Advertising: The American Marketing Association has defined Advertising as ―any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of goods, services or ideas by an identified sponsor.‖ Elaboration of the above definition: First advertising is ―paid for‖ that means it involves commercial transaction. Secondly advertising is ―non-personal‖ that means it is directed towards a mass audience not directed towards any individual as it is in the case of personal selling. Finally advertising is identifiable with its sponsoring authority or advertiser. It discloses or identifies the source of opinions and ideas, it presents.

For more information about production records, refer to: A Menu Planner for Healthy School Meals, USDA (FNS-303), 1998. Introduction to Menu Production Records The Menu Production Record is a tool that is used in every foodservice operation, including restaurants, commercial cafeterias, and institutional cafeterias. Its main purpose is to plan and control food production. A written production record provides a place for the manager to plan the amount of food that will be prepared and then record what was actually served. Adjustments can be made to the Menu Production Record during preparation and service in order to indicate any changes that may need to be made. Since the Child Nutrition Programs receive reimbursement for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks that conform to the meal pattern, the School Food Authority must provide documentation to the state and federal government about the food and the amounts that were served. The Menu Production Record becomes the documentation of the amounts served. It is also the basic record that will be used by the state agency during a review to determine compliance with nutrient standards. The Menu Production Record is also...

...Marketing Plan: Final Phase When a company decides to introduce a new service or product they cannot just simply make it. There is much planning that goes on with creating and introducing the new product or service. There is planning, budgeting, a marketing mix, marketing research, and so much more. The following will provide all the phases Allen’s Foods had to develop in order to create and introduce their new home delivery service. Organization Overview Allen’s Foods is a local small town grocery store located in the retirement town of Bella Vista, AR, and was established in June of 1999. Although, it has not been around nearly as long as some of the big chain grocery stores they have still won the hearts of many local customers. Allen’s Foods is a full service grocery store that includes an on site butcher to freshly cut any meat a customer wants, fresh produce from regional and local growers, gourmet foods, specialty foods, and natural and organic foods (Facebook, 2013). The staff is very friendly, and Allen’s Foods has something big chains do not have; they carry your groceries to your car and load them up for the customers. The one thing they do not provide in their full service grocery store is grocery delivery. Many of the retired and elderly community are extremely busy or too old to have to go grocery shopping every time they need food, so on occasion, they would like to have (or need it) their groceries delivered directly to their homes. The community agrees it...
