Founded in 1986, Pret A Manger is a fast food chain, which produces freshly prepared, natural food with over 250 stores throughout the United Kingdom, France, Hong-Kong and the United States. Unlike most fast-food chains, Pret is a private company; they do not face the same pressure to grow as a public company does. However there are many factors that affect Pret A Manger’s marketplace such as economy, competition, technology, political environment, and the standard of living. This report evaluates major internal and external factors affecting Pret A Manger using various analytical techniques.
Demand for Panera franchising opportunities was very high, which allowed Panera to be picky about where and with whom they would do business. Panera determined where bakery-café locations could be. The franchisees bore the cost of opening new locations, and were required to obtain their ingredients from the home company. Expansion using the franchise model provided many upside benefits for Panera, while limiting the downside r...
...permarkets and grocery stores. The latter revenue stream could be decreased with more people eating out. The consolidation of supermarkets and grocery stores will lead to these stores having an increased bargaining power and more demanding needs. Azalea may not be able to meet these needs without further growth. In addition to the consolidation of supermarkets and grocery stores consolidation among competitors could also have a negative impact on growth opportunities. As companies like Nestle and Kraft Foods have acquired smaller companies they have created a more concentrated market of sellers. The increased concentration of both buyers and sellers in the industry will require economies of scale to be successful. Azalea will have difficulty expanding enough in its current setting to realize the economies of scale needed for continued success in the industry.
Fast food has changed the face of the world. Major chains like McDonalds span all over the world. Fast food chains are continuing to grow despite numerous facts of their unhealthiness. Fast food has been proven to be a dangerous food source, yet people continue to purchase it. The more people buy fast food the more it allows the big corporations to grow. People continue to eat fast food because there are no other convenient options.
Over the last three decades, fast food has infiltrated every nook and cranny of American society and has become nothing less than a revolutionary force in American life. Fast food has gained a great popularity among different age groups in different parts of the globe, becoming a favorite delicacy of both adults and children.
Many customers will buy more package food in the future as it is cheaper and more convenience because customers can buy it in high volume and keep it for the long time.
This means that the industry has stopped growing or has slowed down dramatically. SA has always had a growing love for fast food. Perhaps it’s the fact that it is accessible and affordable to the poorer parts of the population, or because it is fashionable and highly desirable to eat at a McDonald’s, despite the growing rate of obesity (Ar.4). The rest of the world is still experiencing significant growth and fluctuation within the industry, whereas SA is experiencing an oversaturation which is possibly due to foreign influences such as Mexican fast food, which is causing this plateau (Ar.2). I believe that, from a consumer’s point of view, this isn’t a bad thing. Perhaps a decline in sales of fast food implies a shift towards a healthier
Due to the current livelihood of modern day person, commitment to duties have led to people living busy lives. Hence, it has emerged that people lack even few minutes to have meals or share quality with loved ones. This trend is what has led to the growth and blossom of the fast food business in most areas in the world. Fast food businesses has eliminated the hassles of one having to balance between duties and preparing meals. People have embraced the culture of grabbing ready-made food in this joints and taking it to their place of work (Healey, 2012). Fast food joints have therefore bridged the gap between work and waste of time during meal breaks.
Which all provide either ready to eat food, or it will be ready really quick, hence the name “fast food”. The process they use to make the food is very efficient, so efficient it makes you question if the food is really food. All the food is processed, all made in a factory somewhere, using god knows what kind of ingredients, then frozen and shipped to all the restaurants over America. People say that Americans are becoming addicted to it, or are addicted with the efficiency of it. Being able to stop quick, get fast food and go on about their day with minimal time loss. Why not right? Why wouldn't you save your time, by simply grabbing some fast food? Being that it’s so efficient, there’s no way that it’s going to have the same health value as a home cooked meal. Most of these meals are high in fat, calories, and sodium; this is because they are prepared in factories with little regard for dietary
As Americans, we’re always on the go. When hungry and have no time there are many fast and healthy items available. Many people who say that fast food chains is the main cause of obesity in America because there are plenty of fast food restaurants on every block with very few healthy options ("Do Fast Food Restaurants Contribute to Obesity?"). Fast food business are very easy to find and offer quick service, but there are other options that are healthy, especially in urban areas. Restaurants such as Panera offer a range of items that are healthy and offer a quick service for those on a schedule. In addition to these healthier options, it is also possible to pack their own snack or meal. People often become lazy when it comes to just cooking their meals at home. This choice allows the customer, to control what they eat.
Before it can be gone into detail about how fast food companies are to blame for people over eating their food, it first must be proven that fast food is indeed the main problem causing today's obesity in America. It is known to many people how the number of fast food restaurants in America has increased tremendously over the past several decades, but it is difficult to calculate by how much due to the lack of historic statistics. Also, it is difficult whether or not to categorize certain restaurants as fast food. Although, a good way to get a feel on the growth of the fast food industry is to take a look at McDonald's, which has been America's most popular fast food chain for decades. In 1968 McDonald's open its 1,000th American restaurant. This number has increased to 13,800 restaurants in 2011 (McDonald’s 1), which really shows how much more fast food people are consuming compared to the past. Consider th...

In this hectic world, people look for ways to save most of their time. They do not even have time to prepare a good and healthy meal for themselves. That's when the food companies come to their rescue with their low nutritional products. These are readily available packaged snacks with high sugar or salt content with little to no proteins, vitamins and minerals. Billions of dollars are spent each year for marketing these silent killer foods to people who are looking for alternative convenient snacks. "The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food" written by Michael Moss tells us about the reasons behind the popularity and addiction of junk foods. People are being manipulated into buying junk foods and fast foods which boosts their addiction.
One cause for eating fast food habitually is that people may have learned this habit from their parents or someone close to them. They may have grown up in a household where eating at McDonalds or Taco Bell was an every night type of thing. Habits in general are usually picked up from family or friends that they are in contact with frequently and unhealthy eating habits are no exception. For instance, a child’s mother ate fast food
Americans went from being attached to the fast food culture to depending on it. The result--obesity; a negative effect of the fast food culture. Morgan Spurlock experimented with eating McDonald 's food for breakfast, lunch and dinner; In just five days, he added ten pounds. He thus found out that fast food restaurants are the single greatest contributor to the obesity epidemic in America (Gilbert). “Functional neuroimaging studies further revealed that smell, taste, and appearance of food produce a similar effect as drugs of abuse. Many of the brain changes reported for hedonic eating and obesity are also seen in various forms of addictions” (Liu et al). Fast food restaurants selectively choose certain flavors and effects, to create craving and dependence on their food. “Animal studies have shown that the predisposition to food addiction in offspring, was caused by feeding rat mothers junk food, consisting of fatty, sugary, and salty snacks, during pregnancy and lactation” (Liu et al). Apart from chemical factors such as ingredients like sugar and salt, external cues also lead to craving for food despite satiation. Advertising on television further elicits food cues encouraging even normal weight children and adults to seek out food despite the lack of hunger signals (Liu et
