Executive Summary:
Castle’s Family Restaurant is a small chain of restaurants owned and operated by the fourth (4th) generation, of predecessor’s. The company is based in northern California and operates a chain, of eight restaurants. Due to the growing industry and, demand for more business, Castle Family Restaurant is finding it extremely difficult to maintain its daily operations and remain one of the top company’s, in the area.
With the operation of eight restaurants Mr. Morgan must research and compile a list of innovative ideas to help the company grow the business, better manage employees, and expand the resources based, on industry demand. Through his research Mr. Morgan has shown an interest in a new HRIS system; the installation

Morgan from obtaining the latest data, as needed. He often finds it difficult to keep track of payroll; employees have difficulty logging hours which sometimes causes payroll checks, to be incorrect. As a result, his turnover rates are high, at any given time. Most of the restaurants are “more often” depleting produce much sooner than anticipated. This has, “on occasion”, resulted in restaurants closing before the times that are outlined at the entrance, of the facility.
Having a web-based system in tact will provide stability in payroll processes and provide the reporting information needed to move forward in the decision making practices. This analysis will concentrate on aspects of the payroll activities and the current risks associated with these

Morgan is looking for and how it will have a profound effect on his daily business routine. This type of HRIS payroll system that I am going to discuss is the Kronos system and how it can enhance Castle’s Family restaurant by allowing the business to gain a comprehensive advantage by automating the necessary and often demanding business process with precise, real-time employee data. With Kronos intact Mr. Morgan will be able to have accurate timecard management, manage quick changes when an employee cannot come in to work their scheduled shift, build and manage schedules while staying within budget, all while having enough coverage for the rush hours. In which he currently has to rely on phone calls and text messages to stay up to date while traveling to the eight locations to get time off request, vacations and shift
Our mission is to provide our customers with the best products and services that we have created a new market space for. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and taking what used to be multiple purchases of software into one operation system. That can increase many aspects of the important sectors within the restaurant industry. I.e. decrease employee-training time, increase outputs, real-time record keeping ‘including inventory’, and more.
Implementing new systems is expensive, and mistakes can be devastating. And for some concepts, it’s possible that the presence of employees is actually a restaurant’s competitive advantage. Compared with grocery stores and gas stations, many people come to restaurants exactly because they want some human interaction.
In order for any restaurant to keep up, they have to be willing to learn and implement instead of sitting back and expecting repeat customers for a location with menu options that never change to accommodate its customers. When a restaurant thinks bigger, acts quicker, and moves faster they are more likely to stay ahead of their competition. Sanjiv Rasdan (2016), Senior VP of operations for Applebee’s USA, points out three key opportunities that he believes are key to this strategy: food, experience and environment, and keeping ahead with

PepsiCo can potentially acquire California Pizza Kitchen and integrate it in the company’s decentralized management approach. Since PepsiCo executives have experience in the quick service food industry, it should not be a reach for the company to successfully run this casual dining restaurant. For this venture to be successful, it is imperative that management cut down the operating costs at California Pizza Kitchen through the PepsiCo Food Systems distribution network and improve on the 3.1% operating margin that California Pizza Kitchen is currently operating at.
A restaurant’s success is often dependent on its location. Restaurant’s that are located near other restaurants can enough synergistic benefits due to their location (Parsa, Self, Njite, & King, 2005). However, choosing the wrong location can also spell certain doom for the establishment. In general, restauranteurs must ensure that they are making enough profit to justify the demands put forth by their landlord and the local government. For this reason, the restaurant’s deed or rental agreement is one of the most important document in determining a restaurant’s fate. This paper seeks to examine the issues associated with leasing restaurant property; in particular Harlequin and Brine, an upscale casual restaurant.

Teens being discriminated for being loud? Aren’t adults noisy themselves? Munchy’s restaurant should not ban students, when adults are also loud. Munchy’s is now creating a “quiet lunch” for adults that ban students for certain hours.
The next step for AES is to establish a human resource information management (HRIM) system. A HRIM system will allow employees to access information contained in the HR manual through a company intranet. A HRIM system could also help AES employees track their training and development, look for courses to take, search for job openings or cross training opportunities throughout the company, and locate benefit information. As AES plants become more geographically dispersed, a HRIM system will help to communicate the company’s values and strategy to all employees.

Restaurants ,fast food joints ,and five-star shops are everywhere;but that does not make them the same .There's a clear separation between companies and owners right away. Some people might not think the food is great but they are willing to go back due to the service perhaps. In this case Johnny Rockets restaurant has been a game changer for me, found in various places around the United States and in this case in Brownsville Texas. With its amazing food, service, and fun entertainment it makes it a hard place to forget.
is extremely competitive, labor intense and risky. It is saturated with multiple different types of restaurants many competing in the exact segments. Companies operating in this type of environment seek differentiation strategies in order to set themselves apart from rivals, using various tactics such as pricing, food quality, menu theme, signature menu selections, dinning ambience and atmosphere, service, convenience, loyalty programs, specials, heart-healthy, and location (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble & Strickland, 2014, p.C-138).
