INTRODUCTION
According to the task assigned to me, I have visited one of my favorite food court (i.e) TACO BELL. As a matter of fact each and every organization has a unique data requirements in this regard, this particular food court has its own requirement for data. The requirement may be seen at different levels. The first level of TACO Bell is Hiring manager. The hiring manager requires the data of the employee who work at Taco bell. On the next level will be a manager who looks after the inventory. Inventory management requires a database which works efficiently. So, at this level the use of the database is must. At the next level the data requirement of the cashier is different from others. The next level of data requirement is for the drive-away customers.

taking the hiring manager into consideration here the duty of the hiring manager is to hire new employees, giving them the salaries, checking whether they are daily attending to the work or not. Whenever he hired a new employee it is very important to make a note of the details of the employee. He is required to save the details of the employee. • Employee Name • Employee ID • Address • Email ID • Contact number The hiring manager is required to use a database with a table consisting of all these attributes of different records and must be able to retrieve these details whenever he is required. In addition, these are some other required details like • Salaries which are given to the employees • When the employees have been hired. • How many hours the employee has worked • What are the shifts allocated to the employee • Feedback which has been given to the employees So, these details are very much important to keep track of and he will maintain another table in the database with all these records. Next, Second Level is the inventory manager. The inventory manager looks after the inventory. This food court mainly deals with Mexican food and Mexican food requires a lot of materials to operate. These generally include the following things: • Taco’s • Burritos • Cinnamon • Vegetables • Meat • Dressing sauces • Wrapping Covers All these materials must be stored and should be updated regularly to record what consumption of these materials in the daily use. So, the stocking manager maintains a database comprising of these materials in daily use. So, this manager maintains a database comprising all these attributes as records in a table. And he must see that whether the fellow employees are these particular things or not. Along with these things he must also require to keep track of the details of the beverages. • Soft drinks • Energy drinks • Cold Coffee • Iced Tea • Water Bottles • Fruit Juices • Frappes These beverages are also maintained by the manager in the database using a table and updates it as per the requirement. At this point the next level the other person who uses the database to manage the data is a cashier.
The duty of the cashier is to see and record the details like
• What is the amount of food sold on that particular day?
• What is the net income of the store on that day?
• What are the profits earned by selling all their products?
• How many customers ordered for the food?
So, in order to maintain all these details he has to use a database with all these records as attributes and must be able to update and retrieve all the details whenever he want and whenever he is asked to do as on the basis of the requirement.
When that’s completed the other person who uses a database on the next level is the person who maintains the database of the drive through customers. These customers are completely different from the store because they were operated 24 hours and they are required to be stored in the database. Find a separate manager maintains this data for further reference.
Finally, there will be the owner of the store who uses all the data which has been recorded at each and every level and he has the powers to update the data whenever he wishes to do or whenever he is required to
do.
Mariah Carey is one of the top pop singers in America today. On an average, her CD’s sell for fifteen dollars. However, many find it easier to purchase a “knock-off” for a cheaper price than to purchase the real thing. For instance, an individual can purchase the exact CD at a local flea market for five dollars and save the extra ten dollars for something else. In the short story, “The Great Taco War,” Jose Antonio Burciaga informs readers that fast food industries like Taco Bell do no sell authentic Mexican tacos. He urges readers to purchase tacos from taquerias because unlike Taco Bell, their food is “real” Mexican food.
The article is talking about how Taco bell is inventing something that was supposedly existing. But taco bell had different ways of selling their quesalupas to people, their target market is usually the younger crowd looking for cheap good tasting food. So of course the people are going to go to taco bell, and try everything new that they come out with. Taco bell was striving to be different from other fast food places and brain wash teens into thinking their fast food, food, is better than all of the other fast food places. The article says that they are trying to copy REAL Mexican food, and taco bell is brainwashing people into thinking they are coming out with all of this “NEW” Mexican food. When in reality it is all just copied from old
The Walmart is able to keep track of its inventory with the help of a little gadget called, Telson. It scans the bar code which is not just a simple thing but it is almost like an encyclopedia as it tells all the information. The power of information is hidden in a bar code. It is very important as it keeps track of all the sales for example what is being sold, when is it being sold, history, sale prices and trend prices.
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.
In 1945, Sam Walton opened his first variety store and in 1962, he opened his first Wal-Mart Discount City in Rogers, Arkansas. Now, Wal-Mart is expected to exceed “$200 billion a year in sales by 2002 (with current figures of) more than 100 million shoppers a week…(and as of 1999) it became the first (private-sector) company in the world to have more than one million employees.” Why? One reason is that Wal-Mart has continued “to lead the way in adopting cutting-edge technology to track how people shop, and to buy and deliver goods more efficiently and cheaply than any other rival.” Many examples exist throughout Wal-Mart’s history including its use of networks, satellite communication, UPC/barcode adoption and more. Much of the technology that was utilized helped Sam Walton more efficiently track what he originally noted on yellow legal pads. From the very beginning, he wanted to know what the customers purchased, what inventory was selling and what stock was not selling. Wal-Mart now “tracks on an almost instantaneous basis the ordering, shipment, and delivery of literally every item it sells, and that it requires its suppliers to hook into the system, enabling it to track most goods every step of the way from the time they’re made and packaged in the factories to when they’re carried out store doors by shoppers.” “Wal-Mart operates the world’s most powerful corporate computing system, with a capacity (as of late 1999) of more than 100 terabytes of data (A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes, or roughly the equivalent of 250 million pages of text.).
Albertson’s also has also taken steps to boost it average sales. Albertson’s goal is to fill every shopping cart to as full capacity as possible, as well as getting to know their customers a lot better. They have installed have installed a $50 million NCR Teradata where house in order to analyze customer data, and what type of products certain customers primarily purchase. They then plan to use their customer loyalty cards, so that they can match individual buying preferences against store inventories. Also through technology this data is available for analysis minutes after customers leave the store. This is a very valuable resource, because now Albertson’s may be able to reach its goal of having the right products, on the right shelves, at the right time.
The movie “Awakenings” directed by Penny Marshall reveals the victims of an encephalitis epidemic from 1917-1928. The patients at Bainbridge Hospital in Bronx, New York 1969 are all living with a rare disease that puts them into a comatose or frozen state and completely unresponsive due from swelling of the brain.

Through the work of Dr.Sayer and his assistant Eleanor Costello there were able to “Awaken” all of their patients and able to bring joy back to many of the patients families, one of
Mr. Rankin is the person responsible for the technical implementation of a new customer relationship management software. The company he works for is having great success with initial sales across the country, but when it comes to repeat customers, it seems the numbers are lacking. This software, in theory, should increase the levels of follow-up service nation-wide. At this point, the company employs three hundred and ten people and maintains their low prices, which is how they get their initial business.
The database application design can be improved in a number of ways as described below:
The importance of evaluating qualitative and quantitative information and incorporating the relevant data into the daily operations can create organizational sustainability. When it comes to business, it's critical to evaluate not just the numbers or metrics (quantitative), but also the information that tells you the why, when, or how a customer shops and determines what their purchase will be (qualitative). As a manager, it's a vital asset to receive customer service reports on a monthly basis, as they provide both forms of information and can help drive key metrics such as margins, sales, customer counts, and average ticket (quantitative). However, this information is aided by the fact that you can determine or target a customer based on
Today’s retailers faces some of the toughest issues ever experienced in the history of the industry from a fundamental change in the way consumers shop to greatly increased expectations for service and price. Retail is all about selling, selling big and selling huge. In similar, 7-Eleven practices the same principal as retailer from all over the world. It's all about ensuring that the customer first of all comes to the store and then buys. This also means that one should connect to the customer and should be able to hold him in one place and give him all that he desires from one location. This problems is essential for every store manager in order to sustain and stay competent in the market. In this context the information technology plays a vital role in how well the customers are satisfied.
The cafeteria serves about one hundred and fifty residents of Cambridge Hall and approximately one hundred residents from Nottingham Hall. The cafeteria serves hot foods, salads, snacks, sandwiches, and beverages. The data has given me information on the percentage of customers that preferred a hot meal (interactive and precooked) to snacks, the ratio of customers that prefer precooked hot meals over an interactive hot meal, line formation, service times at the different stations, arrival times and the location of the different stations. I also learned that the peak hours of operations are from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and that the cafeteria has two cash registers available but only one is being utilized during the peak hours. If customers decide on a hot meal there is a 2 to 1 ratio that customers will purchase a precooked meal over an interactive meal. Through an informal customer survey, reasonable waiting times were established for the precooked line (5 minutes), the interactive line (10 minutes), and the cashier payment line (1minute).
The process for record retention and destruction play another large part of record management. The retention is based on the amount of space a company has to store the information. Active files are stored at your place of business and inactive files are stored at an offsite location. Then management will decide how long the records will stay in active s...

Whit a simple click on the keyboard the goods are uploaded in a virtual cart and from there are delivered to the customer address. Also, the online stores have the opportunity to create a customer database and a customer profile.
