On weekends you can enjoy 99-cent breakfast tacos and a “kids eat free” deal. The company continued to focus on quality of the food, while keeping Steak N’ Shake menu prices low. It isn’t a regular hamburger, which makes it more eager to taste. A meal is actually worth less than a burger itself. Their fries and shakes are commendable but I am so fascinated with burger that I would rather just order an extra single burger. Furthermore, the nearest Steak N’ Shake restaurant is located …show more content…
The meat has a great fresh taste and beats out their fast food competition. The waiters were so friendly and knowledgeable. They were also patient and very respectful when taking down orders. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and the happy hour is one of the best worldwide. The food was also wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. I especially enjoyed the milkshakes, I would consider those irresistible. The best thing about the restaurants’ service, is the great value for such a low price. I highly recommend this restaurant, because you will have such a great time while enjoying your delicious meal at such a reasonable price. This is a family oriented restaurant. They actually give the kids some type of electronic device to operate on while they are waiting for their

Everyone wants their food to taste superb when going out to eat. Both restaurants served excellent homemade chips and salsas as well as queso dip. Reading the menu to order was no problem and both places had a wide variety of options to choose...
Any Chipotle I have always gone to have always had good service. Their employees are great. There is never a sour moment when you ask for anything, they are always kind and welcoming. I am always greeted with a hello and a smile when I step up to order. Even if the employee serving you has had a bad day it never shows, you would never know. Despite the lines being basically out the door every time you come (which is the only downside to coming here), the wait time can give you a headache. It is worth it, because Chipotle for sure serves fast food; they usually have three employees working to serve the food. One to get what you order prepared, one to add what extras you and to finish packing it and one to cash you out. The menu is very easy to read and figure out what you want. They have all of the print on the menu in white and big font so it makes it simple for everyone to read. So there isn’t any trouble ordering what you want. They have many different options to choose from as well. You don’t always have to get the burrito.
There is nothing better than an amazing homemade hamburger from In-n-Out. Opened in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder, In-n-Out is a hamburger restaurant that at was established in Baldwin Park, California. Harry and Esther opened the hamburger shop saying that they wanted to have: “the freshest, highest quality food you can buy...friendly service in sparking clean environment”(“The History of In-n-Out”). It is said that In-n-Out was the first drive-thru experience for customers to have. After two years of serving people in their opinion the freshest food people could get from fast food the opened the second restaurant(“The History of In-n-Out”).After 28 years of being open, Harry Snyder died of lung cancer leaving his company to his, at the time, 24 year-old son Rich. Rich worked at the restaurant his whole live and refused to change anything his parents had established:”There is money to be made by doing those things, but you lose something and I don't want to lose what I was raised with all my live”(“The History of In-n-Out”). The only thing Rich ever changed was adding lemon lime soda to the menu, other than that there was no changes to the original menu. There is however a secret menu only true lovers of the burger spot know of that consists of animal style fries, and a hamburger with grilled onions. In 1992 the restaurant moved for the first time to Las Vegas, but sadly Rich only got to see that expansion because of his death in a
As you may know In-N-Out’s menu consists of the double-double (two patties with two slices of cheese), the classic cheeseburger and the basic hamburger. As well as many varieties of soft drinks for you to choose from. Don’t forget about their milkshakes made with real ice-cream that come in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Their french fries are made with vegetable oil and are free from cholesterol. In-N-Out also has a not so secretly secret menu such as their protein style burgers which in fact is just a burger except instead of buns they are replaced by hand-leafed lettuce ( In-N-Out.Com). The animal style that was brought in 1961 is a burger with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mustard cooked beef patties, grilled onions and some of their spread with a little more extra (In-N-Out.Com). Animal fries are a common favorite to many people which is like the Animal Style Burger just with 2 slices of melted cheese, some grilled onions and the spread topped with it too. Other items such as The Flying Dutchman is just 2 patties and 2 slices of cheese (BadMouth.Com). Back in the early days the hamburgers were 25 cents, the French fries were sold for 15 cents and cold drinks were 10 cents. Today their prices have increased slightly. “In-N-Out that’s what a hamburger is all about.”

Not having to answer to a corporate boss is the dream of many and the flexibility that owning a business franchise creates provides this option. Success is not reached by simply creating a business, however. The level of success is measured by the size and efficiency of the business. Business growth is the driving force of the economy. The additional jobs and revenues created when a business expands allow the economy to grow at exponential rates. One of the fastest and most popular ways to increase the size of a business is to turn it into a franchise, which can then be purchased by individuals. Franchising provides opportunities that are beneficial to both the parent company and the purchaser. The company that owns the business can expand without having to pay such a large initial cost to open a new store since the franchise purchaser pays a cost to open the business. As well, the company can regulate many of the business activities so that there is a sense of consistency throughout all of the locations. The purchaser is allowed to use the trademarks and goods of the franchise which already have a large market presence. As well, they are provided with training and work standards by the company to help their business run smoothly (Kalnins & Lafontaine, 2004, p.761). Looking at the business model of the world’s largest food retailer, McDonald’s, provides great insight into franchising and business growth in general as well a better understanding of a global business that utilizes the franchising technique.

Burger King uses a dispersed configuration for day to day operations as the majority of their restaurants are franchises with local suppliers. Yet Burger King Headquarters uses a concentrated configuration for marketing and development of products, as well as pricing. This centralization of marketing assists all franchises worldwide and provides the greatest value for the company, but the direction of available products and pricing has proven detrimental to the overall success of the firm. An article on CNNMoney.com describes the failure of the $1 double cheese burger to stimulate sales and how a number of franchisees filed lawsuits against the headquarters due to being forced to sell the double cheese burger at less than cost in order to boost revenues for the headquarters and shareholders and not the franchisees.
