As with many consumer-oriented businesses, fast food restaurants need to maintain a strong but unobtrusive security profile. Their structures and access points need to remain accessible while still preventing malicious behavior. This security survey of a fast food restaurant provides an example of how to perform a total security audit, identify weaknesses and risks particularly with regards to customer and employee safety, and offer suggestions for improvement.

McDonalds Corporation is the leading fast food restaurant across the globe and has continued to experience tremendous growth and profitability since inception. This fast food chain restaurant provides different food items that range from snacks to breakfast meals. In the past few years, the restaurant has faced significant attention in relation to the health and nutrition of its fast food items. Consequently, the McDonalds has introduced new food items and discontinued others in attempts to address health concerns. However, the fast food restaurant still has healthy and least healthy meals. This paper compares two meals… Continue Reading...
enables people to engage in slightly finer dining than they might at a fast food restaurant but in a casual setting. I noticed that there were many mothers eating food with children. Again, the presence of the salad bar functioned as a compromise. The easily-wiped tables allowed them to engage in casual dining but still eat relatively grown-up food. Children could eat some of the simpler food at the salad bar, such as chicken nuggets (which were still certified organic and vegan, so parents did not need to feel guilty that they were feeding their children junk food) while mothers and fathers could… Continue Reading...
seemed to have hit an apex in terms of sales (Balakrishnan, 2015). Just as fast food firms of yesteryear like Mcdonald's and Burger King are struggling to keep raising year-over-year sales, much the same thing is happening with soft drink giants like Pepsi and Coca-Cola and the soda-based drinks that they sell. A related trend is that those same soda companies are seeing the writing on the wall, so to speak, and they have previously diversified into other NAB drink categories such as energy drinks (e.g. Amp), juice, sports drinks (e.g. Powerade) and so on (Clark, 2014). Three reasons why the author of this… Continue Reading...
been the full-service restaurants and fast-food restaurants. Since the introduction of the first Mcdonalds, the fast food type of restaurant has grown extremely quickly and this type of establishment generally serves food that is fairly easy to prepare such as hamburgers, chicken, sandwiches, pizza, Mexican dishes, breakfast and snack items. These types of foods became popular quickly because not only do they taste good, but they are served quick and they are convenient for customers. In fact, most fast food restaurants have a drive through where people do not even have to leave their cars to get their meals and many people eat these meals… Continue Reading...
Morgan Spurlock. It focuses on what it would be like to consume nothing but McDonald’s fast food for an entire month. That is the outlandish premise of the film—and it is more than likely to appeal to two types of people: 1) the health-nutritionist type of person who will approach the film with type of confirmation bias, expecting his or her point of view about how bad for one’s health fast food is to be fully validated, and 2) the extreme spectator type of individual—i.e., a person who is interested in alternative or fringe experiences, things that go against the status quo, experiences that challenge… Continue Reading...
Significant political factors affecting include:
Public health policies are evolving especially in need to increase awareness towards discouraging the consumption of fast foods. Increased concerns about the calorie content of each food mean the restaurant has to shy away from high-calorie foods.
Employment laws relating to employees safety and rights: The adoption of the Affordable Care Act means that the restaurant will have to provide health benefits to full-time employees; failure to this adoption risks the restaurant a $2,000 fine. Others include EEO, the right to work, wage and hours, and whistleblower laws (Blumenthal & Collins, 2014).
Evolving dietary guidelines implies that the 3 Squares Restaurant will have to modify restaurants… Continue Reading...
fast food industry also had an incentive to get them young—and that is why in two McDonald’s commercials, each a fifteen second spot, the fast food behemoth uses knowledge and technology to identify itself with natural childhood tenacity, curiosity and the desire to learn and use technology. In the first fifteen second spot from a 2018 campaign for Happy Meals, McDonald’s shows a young African American family: Mom, and two small children seated at a clean booth in McDonald’s by the a large window on which the bottoms of the… Continue Reading...
known as "Slow Food" as a counter to the "Fast Food" obsession that has existed in the population for generations (Slow Food USA, N.d.). However, as pressure continues to mount, even more conservative or moderate movements have also called for the US to rethink its food systems.
The problems related to the current food production system are not exclusive to health considerations alone. There are many inefficiencies in the way food and beverages are consumed in the entire cycle of food production, consumption, and disposal. For example, food and beverage waste is becoming an increasingly salient issue as food… Continue Reading...

By considering the point of the view of the environmental public professional, the community is in a better position to take steps to engage in preventive care and stop the spread of diseases like diabetes and chronic kidney disease, which are related by the impact of external, environmental factors that contribute to people’s poor diet choices and ultimately to their poor health. Communities can benefit substantially from the knowledge that environmental public professionals… Continue Reading...
Marketing Plan: Clean Protein Bars
From boxed cake mixes to fast food, America has long been fascinated with foods that promise to provide a quicker way to eat. But there is also growing concern about the obesity epidemic, as well as a rise in fascination with alternative forms of eating (such as vegan, low-carb, and paleo dining) as well as unconventional forms of exercise. Viewed in conjunction, developing a protein bar that promises health benefits and the virtues of clean eating could be very useful. Many of these types of bars exist, of course, but this new line of protein… Continue Reading...

McDonalds' Modern Supply Chain Problems
McDonalds' Corporation, which is the largest fast food service provider across the globe, has been experiencing challenges with its supply chain. These challenges have been characterized by poor performance, which has forced the company's Chief Executive Officer to depart (New, 2015). One of the major factors behind Mcdonalds' recent poor performance is the origins of its products given that competitors in this industry are renowned for having products and raw materials that reflect freshness, trustworthy sourcing, and health. In essence, Mcdonalds is experiencing challenges in its modern supply chain processes that have generated concerns regarding the… Continue Reading...
of booze, schedule 1 narcotics, underage sex, and fried fast food. One could be excused for calling Knox an ironic poet, because if romance and familial relations are the dominant themes of Chicken Bucket they are only so by way of their rather conspicuous absence—at least, a quick examination would lead one to think this. However, romance and familial life are really the heart and soul of Knox’s “Chicken Bucket”—they are just presented in a torpid, mile-a-minute, MTV-addicted, ADHD-suffering manner—which means if you blink you will miss them because they are wedged in between endless lines of drug use,… Continue Reading...
When you consume fast food as a culture, life will go down, no doubt. To reverse this decline, I would highly recommend starting the Blue Zone diet as it will certainly make people feel healthier and want to live a simpler life.

because of its similar ecological and ethical footprint as fast food (Wicker, 2016).
Customer service is roughly equivalent in each store, but there are different customer service needs for a telecommunications versus clothing store. Depending on the Zara store, sales personnel range from totally detached to openly helpful. The same can be said for Sprint. However, a telecommunications company in the United States is bound to have more customer complaints and in fact receives a deplorable one star on the Consumer Affairs website ("Sprint PCS," 2017). It is not so much the physical products that customers will complain about… Continue Reading...
because most of their fast food restaurants look the same. When everything is uniform from the food to the ambience, and the golden arches that adorn the outside area, it can inspire people to continue going for that semblance of normalcy and repetitive ritual. That repetitive ritual is shown through removing the guesswork of eating there. People know what they will eat, how much it will cost, and how it will taste. This kind of tradition was lacking before the introduction of McDonald's.
The article moves from ritual, uniformity, and sacredness and transitions into… Continue Reading...
pitfalls that might lead to poor health (like a habitual fast food diet).
The message when reviewed for readability using Word’s readability measure had 0% passive sentences, a Flesch Reading Ease of 41.7% and a Flesh-Kincaid Grade Level of 12.0. For adults in a behavioral health center serving as the target population, I feel this is a satisfactory measure.

rival, PepsiCo, owns a number of snack food brands and once owned fast food franchises, so there is a certain statement of intent with respect to being a beverage company embedded here.
The second clause reflects the brand personality. The company's products aren't particularly good in any objective way, but the
marketing around them is universally upbeat and positive. Further, this clause can have internal value as well – optimism and happiness as part of the mission can be expressed internally, such that employees who are in different states of challenge and conflict can view this as an imperative and maybe keep… Continue Reading...

Courtney discusses the impact of fast food on the health of Americans focusing on the documentary film "Super-Size Me" that accuses Mcdonald as the major contributor of health effects of American people. According to the author, the obesity is threatening the health of the American society because there is likely to be an increase in the childhood obesity in the nearest future. Thus, the author suggests that Americans should inculcate a diet culture to get thin.
