He first focused on recruiting for the culture and how it is important for Chick-fil-A to select not only the best talent, but the best fit for the company. Chick-fil-A processes their selection based off of three C’s: character, competency, and chemistry. Kruse then focuses on how Chick-fil-A nurtures the talent that they have selected by telling them the truth when it comes to performance, expectations, and other things of that sort.

I conducted my experiment earlier this week while at the new Chick-fil-a for roughly forty-five minutes. It was a busy lunch rush so many customers or employees didn't bother to notice me while they enjoyed their visit. There seemed to be a common theme amongst the employees and the store as well as the customer’s interactions with each other. Each person’s life is as deep and complex as my own and their actions represented interesting results.
When companies try to advertise their product they try to convince you by making it look glamorous and persuade you into thinking that you need the product that they are selling. The commercial that I’ve chosen is called “McDonald’s Pay with Lovin”, it was shown during the 2015 Super Bowl Commercial. It was promoting to spread the love. But also the company was convincing the target audiences to purchase their products and repurchase it. America’s most famous fast food chain restaurant is trying to use the opportunity to get their customers to come and spread the word about Pay with Lovin, so that more people can come to the store. The reasoning behind this, according to New York’s time, fast food chain McDonald, is suffering a great deal amount of loss. Twenty one percent has dropped in the fourth-quarter earnings in 2014, their net income went by fifteen percent to 4.76 billion. So McDonald is losing to other chains like Shake Shack and Chipotle. McDonald is the world’s leading food service organization, who is suffering a great loss to other companies, and is trying to change things up.

Because Dollar General does not sell in bulk, they tailor their supply chain to focus on more frequent deliveries of goods to smaller stores. Although this creates some inefficiencies relative to their big box rivals who were able to ship larger truckloads to their stores, Dollar General benefits from a denser network of stores in many areas as they had more than twice as many US locations (11,061) as Wal-Mart (4,807) in 2013. Additionally, Dollar General owns all trailers moving to and from distribution centers, but subcontracts trucking [dollar general 10K]. This reduces their necessary capital investment, while retaining key distribution activities including control of the loading, unloading and delivery scheduling of products to both retail stores and distribution centers.
In the Chick-Fil-A commercials, most of the time the cows write something similar to “eat mor chikin.” Their message are usually very short and bold. The reason behind their bad spelling is because Chick-Fil-A wants the audience to see that the cows are really just kids with a big imagination. Research shows that “Children are more creative and are natural inventors. Their worldview is incomplete and demands discovery. They prosper because they embrace their ignorance instead of ignoring it. And they are willing to explore, investigate and put their ideas to the test because they are willing to fail.” (Killing Creativity: Why Kids Draw Pictures of Monsters & Adults Don 't) The Chick-Fil-A company gives the cow this characteristic because it is important to the commercial, this characteristic is the reason why the commercials is so funny and entertaining to

Trevor Wallace has led the company away from the "We are chicken" campaign into other areas that may not reflect the image of what Buckmeister intended.

As my wife and I were pondering about how to meet our financial goals, we started thinking about which businesses we would love to be a part of and Chick-fil-a stood out way above any other. So I told my wife that I would look into Chick-fil-a’s franchise opportunity and I went to the website and learned some more about the company and saw that it would be a great company to be a part of.

Eating has been one a great joy to me my entire life. It is a huge portion of everyone’s day, and for most, happens at least three times a day.

The familiar sights, comforting scents, and soothing sounds of Chick-fil-A that make it the birthplace of happiness.
