Which Business Plan Software is For Me
I received a call this afternoon from a guy out in the New England area asking which program works best for raising investment capital. After a fairly long conversation explaining the key differences between the programs I decided to recap them here for your use:
The Chicken Connoisseur: The Early Years of Chick-fil-A’s S. Truett Cathy
At a time when the hamburger was dominating America’s fast food industry, a young Samuel Truett Cathy had a different idea: why not a chicken sandwich? With that, in 1946, Cathy launched a restaurant called Dwarf Grill, which would in time morph into the Chick-fil-A chain of over 1,500 quick service restaurants that specializes in chicken dinners, and has become something of a cultural icon in the southern U.S.

Restaurant Franchising
Franchising in restaurants is one of the biggest opportunities for someone looking to start their own business as a franchise.

Q: Is this a bad time to start up a new restaurant with a slow economy?
I field a lot of questions from new and soon-to-be new restaurant owners. Here's one of those questions regarding concerns about opening a business during a slow economic period.

Maximum Impact Restaurant Greening
Are you eating? Here's a few statistics to chew on: In the US, restaurants are the top electricity consumer among retail businesses. 33% of it. Each restaurant produces an average of 50,000 pounds of waste. Eat up, unless you want to add to that last figure. That is, unless you happen to be dining at a restaurant certified by the Green Restaurant Association, which aids member restaurants in achieving a near zero waste status.
Customer Service in Japan
When travelling to Japan it is hard not to notice the politeness of the people, especially in the shops, malls, restaurants and other businesses. It is well worth a look at how and why they seem to have or at least present perfect customer service. We could learn a lot from them!
New Opportunity from a Seasoned Industry
The most popular Franchises out there are Food Service businesses. From fast food, casual dining to upscale restaurants, most people looking for a business will almost always look at Food. Now food is a tough business (take it from someone who has been in the business). Long hours, high employee turnover, recession, competition are some of the factors that make the Food business tough, and are some of the factors why Food industry has a high rate of failure. Having said all that, I want to introduce you to a company that does not deal with most of these problems, and is in an Industry that is virtually recession proof and provides a service that every family in the United States and really the world needs and uses.
How to Kill Your Restaurant Business Fast: Four Eulogies
One of the biggest mistakes that restaurant owners make is to believe that they are in the food business. Big mistake! Grocery stores are in the food business. Restaurants are in the experience business. The experience at McDonalds is very different from that at Boston Pizza from TGI Fridays from Ruth's Chris Steak House. Yet they are all in the same business - just different segments of it. Why do restaurants fail? It's usually not the food. Here are four restaurant failures that I witnessed recently in our neighborhood.

A Tale of Two Eateries ...it's not just about the food!
Two restaurants- both have great food and fine surroundings but the service is from two different worlds. Does service really matter? You bet it does. Find out how you can be on the winning side of the service world.

Sales Success TIPS - from a Waitress?
Long ago, before restaurants and hotels told us how much we “owe” in tips and gratuities, a tip was always given up front. It still is in some locations (e.g., some doormen and concierges and maitre d’s). Why? TIPS stands for To Insure Proper Service.

Creating Customer Loyalty
Think back 50 years. Most people shopped from the same supermarket, ate from the same restaurants, and frequented the same retail stores over and over again throughout their lives. These small business owners needed to do little beyond good customer service to retain the loyalty of their customers. Today, even excellent customer service, will not keep many of your customers coming back. It is too easy to shop online for the best deal, or go to the mall to do our shopping. As business owners, we need to go beyond the ordinary, to create customer loyalty and maintain a strong customer base to ensure financial stability.
Le Sutra Hospitality mulls franchise expansion
The Bajaj Group of Hotels, branded under Le Sutra Hospitality, is planning to open hotels and restaurants across the nation in the next three to five years. The company is going to invest Rs 300-500 crore for these hotels and restaurants, which will be a mix of both company owned and franchised, confirms a company official.
10 Checklist for Restaurants to make your guests feel important
Diwali is a festival of diyas, candles, crackers and sweets. People eat-out at Restaurants with their friends and family. All these restaurants serves good food and offer a dine-in experience to pull crowd. But, have you ever wondered why a few of them are always jam-packed with guests?
There's That Customer Service Thing Again!
If, as a consumer you consistently receive poor service there is just no reason at all not to find a business that will treat you better. There is no dearth of other stores, restaurants, (insert name here) who will be delighted to do business with you. And this goes for online retailers as well.
