In The Restaurant Industry Its Not Easy To Construct A Menu

Your menu that you will have in your restaurant is determined by the type of customer market that you will serve. Specifically with each type of market, the manager, owner of the restaurant or the food services manager must determine the best type of menu that is suitable and preferred for the needs and desires of their specific food customer market. That is what the area, or drive around catchments area needs. It's not a chicken or egg scenario. If the area served has ten pizza restaurants but few hamburger chains, even if you like pizza, why put up another pizza restaurant menu? In designing a given menu, that manager must not only consider information on the market itself - for example age, gender, economic and employment conditions, frequency of eating out etc, but also the skill ...

Would-Be Parents Can Lose Out On Having Children As A Result Of The Fertility Industry Being Poorly Regulated

JOURNALISM'S Naomi Cahn, University of Virginia and Dena Sharp, University of California, Hastings When embryologist Joseph Conaghan arrived at work at San Francisco’s Pacific Fertility Center on March 4, 2018, nothing seemed awry. He did routine inspections of the facility’s cryogenic tanks, which store frozen embryos and eggs for clients who hope to someday have biological children. But what he found was not routine; it was an emergency. Almost all of the liquid nitrogen inside Tank 4 had drained out. Conaghan and his staff tried to save 80 metal boxes of frozen reproductive material, but it was too late. The contents had warmed, damaging or destroying 1,500 eggs and 2,500 embryos. Some belonged to a couple who traveled cross-country from their farm in Ohio, hoping to build their fam...

A Food Industry Expert Explains – What’s A Ghost Kitchen?

Jeffrey Miller, Colorado State University While the phrase “ghost kitchen” may conjure up images of haunted houses, the reality is a bit more mundane. Ghost kitchens are food prep operations with no waiters, no dining room and no parking lot – really, no public presence whatsoever. But on food delivery apps, they’re alive and well. In short, ghost kitchens are physical spaces for operators to create food for off-premises consumption. And on apps like Grubhub and DoorDash, listings for restaurants operating out of ghost kitchens usually don’t look any different than those for brick-and-mortar operations. For example, where I live in northern Colorado, there’s a restaurant called Rocco’s Ravioli that appears on the apps. But Rocco’s doesn’t have a storefront. It’s a food delivery service...

What US medical supply chain can learn from the fashion industry

The shortage of crucial medical supplies, especially personal protective equipment, has crippled the United States’ ability to quell the COVID-19 pandemic. At least 54,000 nursing home residents and workers have died from COVID-19 in the U.S. as of June 26. This is a staggering number when compared to nursing homes in Hong Kong, which have reported zero deaths despite cramped quarters. Other countries with ample PPE, such as South Korea and New Zealand, have reported few deaths in nursing homes. The shortage of PPE in the United States has gone on for months and is expected to exacerbate in a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, due to structural issues in the U.S. medical supply chain. As an operations management scholar whose research has touched upon health care supply chains, I have be...
