Sandwich Blitz Unit 8 Assignment
Unit 8 Assignment
Dalmen has just been informed by one of his location managers that at this particular location, they are in violation of new local health codes. Each of the Sandwich blitz locations is situated on very small parcels of land. This contributed to lower operating expenses for the business and was considered by Dalmen and Lei a competitive advantage. With the new local health codes, the location of their out buildings, which encloses the trash dumpsters, are in violation of these codes.
