In reference to the argument above we intend to further justify why Hooters should not place a ban on admitting children after 9 P.M. Our three key arguments will help solidify the reasoning for this and it is important because it comes down to a decision that families should be making even though with this issue it deals with decisions that businesses could be making. Our first argument is that it is not up to the restaurant, but the family that goes to the restaurant as to whether or not they should bring their kids. Our second argument is that the restaurant has a mission to profit and not limit who gets served no matter the time. Lastly, our third argument is that we disagree with the ban because Hooters advertises themselves as a neighborhood restaurant to go watch sports and to have a good time, so all should be welcome. Through these perspectives we have not limited Hooters to have any reason to put any bans on who is allowed in and out of the restaurant. The three people that we interviewed were: Nicolette the hostess, Ashli our waitress, and Britany the manager. Each person was able to express their own personal perspectives based on observations that they have made and they cooperated with us well. The location where this took place was the Hooters in Santa Monica on 4th street, which is one of the more common locations in the area as we witnessed on a slow afternoon that it was still fairly crowded and many families were present. 2. Summary Overview Hooters putting a ban on the entry of kids after 9 P.M. can be reasoned easily, but what needs to be remembered is what type of place Hooters is. It’s a neighborhood restaurant that caters to the needs of many people. There are TVs everywhere playing sports games and ther... ... middle of paper ... ..., and even with a 9 P.M. ban, they may view Hooters as losing its edge when it comes to serving families. The other effect is taking a risk by not following through with the ban and having a local or state law become enacted as a result of the complaint, resulting in possible sanctions through fines and forcing them to comply with the child ban. 4. Through Barry’s Rules, the action with the lesser harm would be banning children under 18 after 9 P.M. They should consider the effects that a potential lawsuit would have on their image, and this ban is only on several stores, so the financial impact should not be as rough as projected. 5. It is more important to respect the appeals of the community, and to prevent any potential legal issues by dodging the ban. Hooters wants to remain a neighborhood restaurant, and will continue to serve patrons under 18 before 9 P.M.
The fast-casual restaurant is one of the most competitive and fastest growing industries in the world. Chipotle has thought to have reinvented this category and this has led to their explosive growth in the early stages of the company. As it has leveled off, however, one can see where mistakes have been made leading to the sharp decline in their sales and stock. Starbucks has continued to grow, but has also seen declines in their stock. Comparing these companies, one can see how each have went from standalone stores to market leading companies. They must continue to innovate otherwise they will be seen as just another restaurant and no longer see growth.
Hooters and Men I don’t know why I feel so nervous. I’ve eaten at Hooters once before and it wasn’t so terrible. It’s just a wing joint where the waitresses are famous for being bosomy. Maybe that’s it.
Whether we recognize it or not, every day the common person drives by numerous fast food restaurants. It could be McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King, or one of plenty more. Most citizens make the decision on their own as to if they will make that purchase. A majority of the responsibility falls back on the consumer, but some will make the arguments that children cannot make that decision for themselves. It is a valid argument to question if this responsibility is in the parent’s hands, children’s, or simply it is just circumstantial. In the reading “Don’t Blame the Eater” the author David Zinczenko presents the case that we as citizens cannot put this blame directly onto the individual. Cases like this can be open to one’s interpretation. However,
In the article Applebee’s was quoted saying that 14.1 percent of their sales came from alcoholic beverages. That is all most a 1/4 of their gross profit. That can help a restaurant either succeed or fail. The restaurants do not want to take that chance if they can not sell liquor. The article says they want family restaurants like Applebee’s to buy the licenses. The restaurants know there would be some restrictions on the license, such as, no sales after midnight and so fourth. But how many families go out to eat at midnight? The restrictions a reasonable ones. The towns want the restaurants to move in and stop the slumping area from going down any more. The idea that only restaurants having the licenses is a good one. If the town gave the licenses to any business,11 bars could move in. It seems that, the more bars there are in one location, the more problems the towns face. People are there all day and night drinking.
Liquor stores, bars, and clubs all want to make money, and if they can get away with selling to underage teens, then they will. A study done by the Academic Search Premier agrees that,?By now it is obvious that the law has not succeeded in preventing the under-21 group from drinking? Michael Smith - 1st place. There are a lot of benefits to having the drinking age change to eighteen. The amount of binge drinking would lessen, and the amount of outrage to drink would also decrease.

Burger King delivers value to their customers through their products, prices, and place and promotion strategies - (“BK doesn’t just promise value, they actually deliver value”). Burger king has been in existence for 60 years and is growing rapidly in many other countries. Burger King delivers quality, great tasting food which satisfies ones need or wants and captures the value of customers even before the first purchase is made. Burger King has products very unique from other competitors such as KFC and McDonalds. The difference is that Burger King does not limit their customers in terms of what they eat. For example, when I spoke to a customer also big fan of Burger King, he mentioned that the sauces are left public for the customer to decide on which sauce to have rather than giving the customer one kind of sauce such as McDonalds and KFC. The cold beverage is also self-help service in which customers can help themselves to a bottomless drink. This way the customer feels free to choose what satisfies the need or want.
McDonald's Corporation is the largest fast-food operator in the World and was originally formed in 1955 after Ray Kroc pitched the idea of opening up several restaurants based on the original owned by Dick and Mac McDonald.

I think a business should be allowed to ban a group of teenagers, but only the specific teenagers that are loud and immature. They are causing less people to go to the restaurant because the people like to eat in peace. The restarants money has dropped $20,000 in the past three months because of the teenages being load and annoying other people.
This country runs on freedom. With curfews many conjecture it's taking away teen’s rights as a citizen. “If a movie theater can keep minors out of a R-rated movies, why can't a law keep minors from staying out late?” The articles suggests. Curfews don't take away teen rights because all minor have different rights than adults. If you're younger than eighteen years old your parents still have legal rights over you. Even though Johnny’s parents are both mentally and physically abusive, they still have parental rights over Johnny until he is
In today's society, fast food has become a large part of many American's lives. With the rising numbers of obese people, it is hard not to draw a correlation between the increase in fast food and obesity. Most obese people don’t want to be obese and wish they could lose weight, yet they continue to struggle with their fast food intake and obesity. This is due to the advertising done on the consumers, the highly addictive food itself, and most importantly, how advertising and addiction combine with children to form habits that are kept once they become adults. These factors are the reasons that fast food restaurants are to blame for the rising obesity and health risks across America. The government needs to step in and place regulations on these fast food restaurants so they will stop taking advantage of people's weaknesses.
The purpose of this paper is to examine juvenile curfew. Curfews have been in place for many years. In the 1700s, curfew was put in place for slaves and workers. Now, since the 1990s, juvenile curfew has become a popular policy across the nation in hopes that it will reduce crime while also protecting the welfare of a minor. Though that may be the sole purpose, there have been critiques about the implementation of juvenile curfew. Some may say that it creates a safer community while others may conclude that it is biased and does not work. First, this paper will provide some of the reasons in which curfew is being used. Second, some of the consequences that come along with juvenile curfew will be stated. Then, the various forms of the curfew
Have you ever been in your favorite restaurant and just as you are about to take a bite of your favorite dish, your lungs are filled with a cloud of smoke which has drifted to your table from the smoking section just a few feet away? This is a common complaint of many patrons who enjoy dining at restaurants. While it is true that the smoke from cigarettes causes many health problems, is it fair to take away the freedom of Americans who wish to smoke? Even as compromises can be made on this subject, the majority of people stand by their strong opinions on whether smoking should be allowed in restaurants.
While their show goes to commercials, they may see many advertisements for non-healthy foods. It should be canceled at least during the time the kids are up. During the time the kids are up, they should start advertising healthy meal commercials. How can we help prevent the kids from asking, "could we go out to eat, at Burger King, Jack in the Box and many other fast food restaurants?" There should be a class for them free of charge and explain nutrition labels to them.
The term “Nothing Good Happens After Midnight” is used by many parents when referencing curfews. What is the definition of a curfew? A curfew is: “an order establishing a specific time in the evening after which certain regulations apply, especially that no civilians or other specified group of unauthorized persons may be outdoors or that places of public assembly must be closed.” But, is this truly accurate, or is having curfews just a short term fix for deeper issues? Imposing a curfew, Sanchez says, is like "putting a Band-Aid on the problem." This topic can be viewed as having many advantages or disadvantages.
