Restaurants have their own sets of unique obligations that they must face. Most states will require that the establishment be accredited as food service establishment. This will impose several requirements related to the building such as textiles, flooring, ventilation, storage areas, and even the number of exits that the establishment has (Mealey, 2016). Another important aspect to consider is whether or not the establishment will be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages. Through the combination of landlord, city, and county, many properties are not allowed to serve any alcoholic beverages on the premise (Mealey, 2016). Restaurants must also examine their lease agreement and local zoning laws to confirm they can indeed be open during their preferred hours of operations. Within the lease, a landlord may dictate the business’s hours of operation (Levey, 2017). Furthermore, many cities and towns had historical blue laws that prevented businesses from opening on certain days of the

In their evaluation, Senior Management is faced with the question of whether the necessary capital investment in order to purchase one or both of the businesses can be profitable for each of the acquired business units, but must also take into consideration that the additional business units will not hinder the profitability of the existing business units.

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.
