Case Study - Another Plate of Mind: Hangawi is a Korean restaurant that uses no animal products. This type of restaurant is not common in New York. Diners are asked to remove their shoes at the entrance and then sit on pillows and eat at low tables. The food is served in wooden and ceramic bowls and the waiters dress in monk-like fashion. To operate this restaurant, you would have to know a lot about Korean culture because that is the overall feel of the restaurant. You would also need to know how to prepare meals without using meat because no meat is used at Hangawi.

World Market: I think that customers wait for reservations at El Bulli for the unusual experience more than the food. The food is a big part of it but you can get good food at any restaurant. This restaurant promises a unique dining experience that the diners will never forget.

Hot Property: Red Lobster is a seafood restaurant. Red Lobster can attract more customers by adding items to the menu and offering promotions.

Quick Check: 1) A full-service restaurant is a restaurant where a customer sits at a table, gives an order to a server, and is served food at the table. 2) Three examples of a specialty restaurant are Mexican restaurants, sandwich shops, and seafood restaurants. 3) On-site facilities provide meal options primarily for customers directly involved with a property, such as employees of a corporate building or hospital.

Profiles in Hospitality: It is important for management to understand the duties of each employee because every part of a restaurant is important to the overall quality of the restaurant. Employees at Blue Moon Burgers have to serve customers, make sure the restaurant is sanitary, and greet customers when they enter the restaurant.

Quick Check: 1) Front of the house is the area in a hospitality establishment that guests view, such as the entrance and dining room 2) Back of the house is the area in a hospitality establishment that guests usually do not view, including all areas responsible for food quality and production, such as the kitchen and receiving, office, and storage areas. 3) Three purchasing activities include maintaining an adequate supply of products, establishing and maintaining quality standards, and negotiating the best price.

Notes: Social Studies: The restaurant I found is called Ristorante "Alla Rampa" and it is located in Rome, Italy. It serves classic as well as new dishes and they are known for their appetizers. Of course, they serve a lot of pasta and cheese and things like that that Italy is know for. Aside from the meals, they also sell fruit and ice cream by itself. It is pretty interesting to see what restaurants in other countries serve as opposed to in America.
