Case Study: Perkins Family Restaurant And Bakery
Perkins Family Restaurant & Bakery (Summer of 2015):
At Perkins, my duties required me to multitask while being friendly, and assisting customers. I was the cashier and the host. My duties included checking people out, cashing customers out, and paying bills handed to me from waiters/waitresses. I also was in charge of greeting and seating guest as they came into the restaurant. I also stocked the bakery and the supplies in the pantry. In addition, I was responsible for vacuuming, washing windows, answering the phone, assisting servers, and cleaning restrooms. I usually was expected to do all of these things at once, often seating, cashing out, and cleaning by myself, making me experienced in multitasking.

    Case Study Panera Bread

    From reading the case I found that Panera Bread uses the broad differentiation strategy. Panera bread has been able to create value to their food that is not easily matched or cheaply copied by rivals. Panera Bread’s breads, bagels, and muffins are made fresh daily. The professionally trained bakers spend about 48 hours making the dough, which is then distributed on a 220 degree temperature controlled truck operated by Panera personnel to ensure optimal freshness (C-136). Also, the trucks only travel 300 miles to insure the dough is fresh when arriving at their location. The only time they can travel longer than 300 miles is if no other distributor who could get to the location. Panera Bread switched to whole grain breads and natural, antibiotic…

    Is a company's brand the key contributor to growth opportunities? This is definitely the case for Chick-fil-A Inc. Headquartered in Atlanta Ga, the organization's clever cow “Eat Mor Chikin” ads have taken the industry by storm. The capital "A" in the name represents top quality, "Grade A" service. In fact, whenever a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opens, the first 100 customers receive “a year’s worth” chicken sandwich meals. Oddly, what sets the organization apart from their competitors are the relationships built with employees and customers. These actions formed a loyal fan base that catapulted Chick-fil-A to the top of the leaderboard as the nation's top-selling fast food chicken franchise. For continued success, the organization must…

    Sundown Bakery reads like a typical small business story where rapid growth can be as detrimental and hard to manage as rapid contraction. Small business owners are typically the type of people who are rich with specific skills, but are missing fundamental management skills and are often ill equipped when it comes to managing rapid expansion of their individual business. Sundown Bakery is no different in my opinion. Through this paper it is my intention to clearly identify some of the issues resulting from the rapid expansion and to recommend some possible solutions that would have helped them avoid their current situation.…

    In this case, that Neal Middleton is trying to decide why Golden Valley Foods, inc., isn’t as profitable as it once was. I would suggest to Neil Middleton to do a big change in the company’s policy, and do market segmentation. Golden Valley Foods has a line-forcing policy, requiring any store that wants to carry its brand name to carry most of 65 items in the Golden Valley Foods line. This policy, resulted in a decreasing in its sales. Unfortunately, smaller stores are not generally to accept the Golden Valley Foods policy. Then most of their sales come from major supermarket chain store such as Safeway, Kroger, and A$P. According to the last president of the company said “The influence of our old parent company is still with us. As long as new products look like they will increase the company’s sales volume, they are introduced. traditionally, there has been little, if any, attention paid to margins. we are well aware that profits will come through good products produced in large volume.”…
