According to public polling, Fifty-eight percent of American Adults now say they are dining out at least once a week. The biggest problem is trying to decide where to eat. The deciding factors are customer service, the quality of the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. Between both Texas Roadhouse and Applebee's, the better restaurant is Texas Roadhouse.

The portions are extremely small. The food is cooked poorly, it is cold and undercooked. There are not many options for people with specific dietary needs. The food is processed and prepackaged. The food does not taste fresh and you will often find your food overly
When it comes to picking out a restaurant with family or friends things tend to get complicated. One person might want to go to a steakhouse, while the other wants Italian. Choosing a restaurant should focus on the quality of the food, the pricing of the food, and the competitiveness of that restaurant to its competitors. Olive Garden is one of the most revered Italian-American restaurants in the United States compared to its leading competitor, Maggiano’s. Olive Garden leads in lower prices, food options, complementary food, and even has lighter options for the health conscious.
One of the major differences between the two restaurants is the quality of their food and their services better provided to the customer. In-N-Out Burger is all 100% fresh product. The meat is never frozen, the lettuce is handpicked every day, and the potatoes are peeled and diced daily. The meat that In-N-Out receives is fresh and needs to be prepared in order for the restaurant to serve it. The morning crew arrives at 6am to do many things and one of those duties is to prepare the meat for the day. They have to shape, and season the meat before it can be pressed and cooked. The truck comes everyday with the calculated amount of sales. However, Jack in the Box receives frozen product. Calculated sales weekly and the trucks come only two days a week. The lettuce arrives at the store pre-cut and ready for use in the restaurant. Everything that comes off the truck just needs to be heated-up in order to serve. Another difference is the quality of the stores employees. In-N-Out Burger’s employees always have a positive attitude. They will always go out of their way to make sure all customers are 100% satisfied. The employees make sure that every visit is one to remember and that the customer will always come back for that amazing customer service. Conversely, Jack in the Box’s employees is quite different. Their employees are careless, and have negative attitudes. They do not care if customers are un-satisfied. Their service ...
The term “fast-food” is usually distinguished by food served very quickly to a customer by drive-through or carry-out. Fast-food restaurants are highly associated with low-cost and malnutrition foods with brief consumer and employee interaction, and below average cleanliness based on restaurant health inspection reports. Chick-fil-A has changed the usual perception of fast-food restaurants. Rather than burgers and potato fries, Chick-fil-A serves chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. Chick-fil-A also shows their appreciation for employee to customer relations, rather than ignoring the social aspect of serving customers when operating at a fast pace. Chick-fil-A’s menu selection, customer interaction, and clean eating
The Texas Roadhouse in Sioux City delights with hand-cut steaks, made-from-scratch sides, fresh baked bread and an all-out great experience. A great way to enjoy variety is with the combos that give you the chance to have two types of protein, such as grilled BBQ chicken with steak, ribs with ribeye, shrimp with a filet or plenty of other choices to satisfy any craving or hearty appetite.
Fast food restaurant chains are a popular and convenient choice for eating on the go in our modern society. There are certainly several positive aspects to fast food establishments, but are the potential health detriments and collective negative effects on society worth it? Or would it be better to support locally owned and operated restaurants? Here I will examine several facts pertaining to these restaurants, as well as explain why I personally believe we should not frequent these establishments, but rather support local restaurants.
Hi Mr. Jarrod! As I know you are expecting an important client coming in from out of town, and I would like to help you decide by telling you about the differences and similarities between two of my favorite restaurants. Hopefully, you find one of them suitable enough for your business dinner. I have been to many restaurants in town, but so far Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are my favorite ones. Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are two similar restaurants with a slight difference in menu, service speed, and price. They receive the same type of customers although the ambiance of these two places is little bit different.
The main consumer characteristic that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store sets their standards on is “Pleasing people”. (Etzel, Walker, Stanton. 2001 pg. 204) A review of the Cracker Barrel Old Country store states, “This restaurant has a combo of good food, good service, and atmosphere. The gift shop is trendy, and affords one a place to browse. Do your browsing after the meal, for service is fast and efficient. One dines among country antiques that serve as decor. The country plates are a delight, and one must try the daily specials. Don't order dessert if you're not hungry. The blackberry cobbler and lemon icebox pie are superb. This is home cooking with affordable prices and great atmosphere.” (http://stlouis.citysearch.com/profile/3855636) Cracker Barrel stores appeal to both the traveler and the local customer and have consistently been a consumer favorite. Cracker Barrel was ranked as the top family dining chain for the eleventh consecutive year in the 2000 Restaurants & Institutions magazine "Choice in Chains" annual customer survey. It was also named “Best Family Dining” restaurant by Restaurant & Institutions magazine for the tenth consecutive year. The R&I award is based on a national consumer survey that evaluates chains on seven separate attributes: food quality, menu variety, value, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and convenience. For 2000, Cracker Barrel scored highest among family dining establishments on every one of the attributes.
“Out of every $1.50 spent on a large order of fries at fast food restaurant, perhaps 2 cents goes to the farmer that grew the potatoes,” (Schlosser 117). Investigative journalist Eric Schlosser brings to light these realities in his bestselling book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal. Schlosser, a Princeton and Oxford graduate, is known for his inspective pieces for Atlantic Monthly. While working on article, for Rolling Stone Magazine, about immigrant workers in a strawberry field he acquired his inspiration for the aforementioned book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, a work examining the country’s fast food industry (Gale).
Panera Bread’s setting has neat and clean tables that allow a person to have a sense of ease when eating their food. There is always an employee responsible for cleaning and ensuring a neat dining area for the costumers. McDonald’s dining area is a burden when children create messes and leave tables unclean by their parents. Many of McDonald’s employees are too busy to be aware of the messes that are in the dining area to actually clean up before another costumer sits down with a meal. McDonald’s condiment section is saturated in ketchup and spilt drinks that create a sticky area, unable to be touched. When other costumers see a dirty area, they are more likely to throw trash or unwanted items that create a bigger mess. Thus, hygiene plays an important key in public restaurants. Proper hygiene allows somewhat a pure environment from bacteria and essentially a safer place to
First I went to Food City, which I’ve never gone into. When you first pull up into the plaza there are a fair amount of cars around with shopping carts spread out. The building and sign were plain and didn’t pop out. Once I walked up to the door I saw that a lot of the signs were either written or translated in Spanish. The store wasn’t very clean, due to the dirty floors and poor lighting gave it a yellow tint. The shelves were stocked to the point of overflowing, which didn’t seem organized. During this time of day there were a large amount of people shopping around the store, each isle had a couple people browsing. The store had employees walking around and could easily approached. All of the workers spoke Spanish in order to easily communicate
wonderful quick meal right in front of you. They show you hands on how to prepare and cook
Both White Castle and McDonald’s have a long history of providing fast, cheap, and convenient fast-food. Both companies had started with one store, and then expanded into a franchise. To stay competitive they created new and innovative ways to create new customers and keep most of their value loyal customers. In comparison there were several differences and some similarities to each business. Both provide similar customer benefit package, both target on the go, and budget conscious customers, both have viable locations. The servicescape of each store is very different for each. The service encounter was also very different. The process and design of both facilities was similar, which does not leave room for custom orders. The facility layout is markedly different also. White Castle and McDonald’s both provide similar service with differences that are clearly apart.
But with the change of taste and preference, fast food chains like Windy, Taco Bell, and McDonald's have introduced SALAD into their menus. This preference is not stopping with salads. In 2002, McDonald’s introduced great tasting new products including premium salads, n salads plus menu; Chicken McNuggets made with white meat; Fish McDippers; Chicken Selects; and new breakfast offerings like the McGriddle sandwiches. Here as a fast food chain, McDonald did not have to introduce new dishes in their menus but with the impression and image in the market analysis, of increasing demand and changing preference in tastes and dishes has made them bring the changes.... ...
The restaurant displays more things that are good about it rather than bad about it. It has been rated as the best restaurant by most of the people in social media. The turnoff in this restaurant is their wait time. We have to wait to be seated and thereafter wait to get the order taken and thereafter wait for the food to arrive. The reason behind long wait times could be the absence of workers. If they hire more servers then I think this problem could be solved because I have noticed many times that the tables are unoccupied but still guests have to wait for the tables. If food quality or taste aspect of the food served in this restaurant changes dramatically then, of course, it would not be my favorite restaurant, and I would not prefer to eat here. My idea of going to the restaurant is to relish food in a good atmosphere so it is very important that I get to eat something that satisfies my taste buds and gives me a sense of fulfillment. This restaurant is also famous for its service so if that changes then it will affect my choice of going there to have a
With a lot of urbanization, Indian families additionally consume more processed foods, a lot of ready-to-eat foods, etc. This establishes a scope for the producers to return back out with an extended variety of dishes together with the same old meals. India had been at the foremost for type of dishes each in domestic and world market.
