The restaurant industry is a multibillion dollar industry that continues to grow each day and change the community that they are in forever. Opening a new restaurant will improve the economy dramatically because it will increase the amount of money that is spent in the community. There are many positive factors to opening a new restaurant in a community that boast economic, social, and political remuneration. A new restaurant will create jobs, it will support local food producers and it will help a community economically because the restaurant is giving money back through paying taxes. Socially it will create a new business market with business partners and create “Smart Growth” which focuses on changing the atmosphere of the community and where everything is located (Bealocalist.org, 3). Lastly, a restaurant must abide by certain government regulations because it will have to follow certain rules and regulations that will have to be approved by the health department. Opening a restaurant will have a positive and lasting impact on the community as long as restaurant owners abide by the legal requirements and adapt to the community.
A new restaurant will benefit a community from an economical perspective because it will allow the flow of money to go from the people to the restaurant and then through taxes. These taxes will be put back into the community which will then be used to make the society better which in turn will help the people. In addition, a restaurant creates jobs and supports smaller local food producers which allow them to stay in business and not get overtaken by big corporations. When a new restaurant is opened there will obviously be employees to work for the restaurant because one person cannot do it on their ow...

...ety permit to be able to sell food, and a food service establishment permit to show that the building is up to code and is an officially authorized restaurant” (Beesley, 1). Without these permits the restaurant cannot and will not happen. Once a restaurant is opened employees must be trained or have proof of previous training in order for food safety to properly happen. If the employees are not practicing good food safety then all of the hard work and money that was just put into the restaurant will go to waste because the restaurant will be shut down if people are not carful with the food and cooking it properly. Food safety starts with the person themselves as they need to be clean with cut fingernails, washed hands and no lose hair, including a beard which must be shaven. These procedures help “prevent any food borne illness outbreaks that may occur” (Beesley, 2).
Franchises often have others running their own restaurants and charge them for their products. This ensures the franchise makes revenue with little risk because they are not the ones investing in building the new location instead it would be a third party. It’s a symbiotic relationship because the third party makes money because of the brand behind them and the company makes money from the location with minimal responsibility. The book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser in the chapter “Success” touches upon the subject and indirectly or unintentionally he brings up other topics that are of much debate in the United States.
I feel it’s important, maybe even my duty, to support local food outlets. Not only do they contributed to economic growth, but they provide healthy options for me and my family. Communities need to be a part of the process. If there is no community support, these business are likely to fail.

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.
(May, Kuklina, Yoon). The food that they provide is made to be eaten quickly, causing problems for the digestive system. Also, the health problems lead to the use of health insurance, which adds to the costs of Medicare. Health care costs will only worsen in an already failing economy. Therefore, the government should regulate fast food restaurants in the United States in order to repair the deteriorating health and economy in America.
Dining at popular chain restaurants can get boring after awhile, as they tend to have similar atmospheres and can be predictable. Local restaurants, however have a special charm and family feel to them. Every city has their own few special family owned restaurants that are well known amongst the city’s residents. In Erie, PA one of these restaurants is known as Syd’s Place which is located on West Lake Rd near the peninsula. Established in 1933, Syd’s Place has become a staple for many Erie residents as well as those visiting the city. Originally opened and run for decades by Steve and Shelley Evans, Syd’s Place switched hands to new owners Rich Hodges and Mark McCain in 2014. Luckily, this did not change the atmosphere of the restaurant at all, or stop regular customers from continuing to come in.
Opening fast food restaurants in southern California should be illegal because it can cause obesity. Fast food comes high in calories, high in fat, high in sugars, and high in saturated and trans fat. “Obesity can come from eating fast food that’s bought often. Fast food is made from a lot of high saturated fats and calories if it is not worked off, then you can grow to become obese. Even a small quantity of fast food contains high calories. Thus, without knowing, they consume a lot of calories.” (EI) When eating fast food many people don’t realize how bad it is for your health, when eating a burger or any fast food meal just by replacing a cookie with some apple slices makes a difference for your health.
Pizza has been one of America’s favorite Italian foods since it was introduced to the United States in the early 1900’s. Since then, it has grown into a lucrative industry with restaurants such as Domino's, Papa John's, Incredible Pizza, Mazzio's, and Little Caesars becoming increasingly popular across the country. Every restaurant has its unique way of preparing pizza and each one is always coming out with new and appetizing products. So how can one choose his or her favorite pizza place? Although I haven’t tried every pizza place in my town, I did set out to compare two of the most popular.
That is when people don’t go there as much, because of the prices and if the restaurant isn’t that good then they could be shut down. The thing is that if you pay waiters a lower hourly wage, then that could be bad for business, because then the workers don’t work as much and they might quit too. If you pay the workers higher hourly wage, the this means higher per capita restaurant sales. The good thing about is that the workers stay at their jobs, increase their productivity and spend more at
Fast food outlets actually have been existed from millennia in China, India and ancient Europe. In the past, many people cannot afford to have a kitchen and this becomes the main reason they buy their food in fast food outlets (Reverse Your Age, 2013). The perception of fast food started to change in twentieth century. The first company that change the culture and perception of fast food was McDonald’s, followed by their future competitors such as KFC, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Subway. As they get a good appreciation from the customers followed by the impact of the globalisation, almost all of the fast food companies have been expanded their restaurant chain in many nations (Wojtek, 2013). Nowadays, with our busy life schedule and the increasing trend where women entering workforce promote an opportunity for the fast food industry to grow bigger. We can see the significant growth from the fast food industry as the industry itself has been generated over $160 billion in 2012 compared to their revenue in 1970 which only around $6 billion (Franchise Help, n.d.). With this significant growth, it does not mean that every company in this industry are successful. Some company has to closed some of their stores due to the lack of environmental research and preparation in entering a new country which commonly lead to the poor selling rate. The deeper explanation and points that is mention below will be also represent as the industry current state.
Franchises are very successful these days because they have a proven track record. According to document E “The rate for franchise owners are higher than independent business. Nine out of ten reported profit in 2002.” This shows that franchises are making more money in comparison with self-owned companies and that is one of the reasons why there are so many franchises. Also in the same document the author claims that “Approximately one out of every 12 U.S. retail business establishment is a franchise owned business.” This is an example of the popularity of franchises amongst businessmen. It points out that every day there are more people starting a franchise and making profit, which encourages others to start a franchise. Franchises are a good investment in which there is more money and it has more fame and reputation in th...
Another point of reason I would like to argue about is fast-food restaurants are everywhere and it is difficult for one to find any alternatives. I would also like to ask of the consumers to look at it from another view. There are many choices available to consumers each day some can do harm, while othe...
Customer service by definition is the ability of knowledgeable, capable, and enthusiastic employees to deliver products and services to their internal and external customers in a manner that satisfies identified and unidentified needs and ultimately results in positive word-of-mouth publicity and return business (Lucas, 2012, pg.7). In other words, it’s making the customer pleased so that they keep doing business with you all while making sure that the employees get along and work together well. In every business there is a form of customer service. Unfortunately, it is not always excellent or even decent. Some businesses just either don’t care or possibly just don’t have the training to deal with some of the obstacles that come with dealing with customers on a daily basis. I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 13 years and I can tell you that there are skills that some are born with and others need training on, yet either way they should be used whenever interacting with customers.
...ded once they see that the sales will be increasing and tips will be larger. Good staff will increase good public relations which will result in better business. Marketing a restaurant is the most important part in running a restaurant. If a restaurant is not marketed, no one will know about the restaurant causing it to lose money to operate forcing it to close down. Prices on the menu should always be appealing to the restaurant target market and set towards the products on the menu. It is essential that a restaurant develops its staff to the fullest, for a strong staff creates better sales and the public is pleased .
