This week’s discussion has you exploring different types of restaurants, and the various competitive forces that influence those restaurants. Search outside the textbook for additional information. Seek out references that either affirm or refute your perspective, which is a good practice for substantiating your writing when drafting the writing assignments.
Discuss the chain restaurant system and the advantages and disadvantages of chains versus independents, whether in a hotel or restaurant. Use examples and valid references to validate your opinions and support your statements.
When, if you have a choice, discuss where would you prefer to begin your career…In a large chain or smaller independent operation? Why?
