"How The Cheesecake Factory Works http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/06/cheesecake-factory_n_1748604.html … Cheesecake Factory uses a system to cut down on food cost, an already tedious task"
I chose this article on Cheesecake Factory saving the cost of its food because some companies fail to realize just how important saving their money is. Food waste is already a cost that no one likes, but it's a big portion of money when you see how much trimming you throw out, especially when it's not done correctly. "By offering low-cost trial to prospective customers, managers offer two things of value to their customers. First, Managers show that they are confident in the value being offered." By minimizing food waste, you can maximize profits.

"Tableware as Sensorial Stimuli by Jinhyun Jeon http://www.dezeen.com/2012/11/18/tableware-as-sensorial-stimuli-cutlery-by-jinhyun-jeon/ … via @dezeen #Synesthesia new way to eat with touch and color." I saw this in a video a few years back. This is a very innovative way to eat. The new textures in utensils really stand out. When you really get into food, it goes beyond tastes and flavoring.

Therefore, the higher the quality of customer service, the better for the establishment and the customer." Just think of how many people would come back to your restaurant if you went even above and beyond to not only make sure the taste is great, but to offer a whole new experience to how they eat and what they feel while eating.

"The food industry is vulnerable to #litigation http://smallbusiness.chron.com/importance-human-resources-food-industry-60456.html …" This article is very important. This tells you that your Human Resources depends on how your staff is trained. If you are serving low-quality food and prevent potential lawsuits that could end your business. "When training is focused and done well, it improves the quality of employee work, promotes employee growth, keeps employees challenged and satisfied ,and creats talent to help the organization grow." This quote from the book 100% backs up my claim on training your staff members, it's a no brainer. You don't hire someone and expect them to know everything right off the bat.
