Updating the Hometown Deli for Competition IFSM 300, University of Maryland University College Professor Michael West Abstract Updating the Hometown Deli for Competition With the upcoming pressures of the Wall Street Deli and potentially more new entrants into our neighborhood deli market, a market that had been ran single handedly by The Hometown Deli for over sixty years, we conducted a market environment analysis by applying the Porter’s Five Forces Model, a widespread business analysis model used to assist businesses identify the following pressures that can hurt potential sales: Buyer Power, Supplier Power, Threats of substitute products or services, Threat of new entrants and Rivalry among existing competitors (Baltzan, p16). After our analysis, we came into the realization that here at the Hometown Deli our way of doing business and our systems, i.e. cash registers and IT system are almost as old as the deli itself. Therefore if we intend on bringing our way of conducting business up to date, we will have to start by emplacing a system that can handle today’s deli business requirements. Some of the requirements for our new system will be Halo POS Cash registers which will afford us with such options like changing prices in order to honor our specials coupons and discounts.

So I sympathize with Leong because I can relate to, and understand the feeling of having people try to beat you down mentally. In Being A Chink, Leong talks about being part of an Asian family running a business in a predominately Caucasian suburban town, and about an experience she had while working at her fathers Chinese restaurant. While cleaning the restaurant one morning, she finds a letter with the word chink written on it. She goes on to tell the reader how he had felt hurt and angry that someone would use such a hateful word to demean and belittle her father. Leong then sheds a different kind of light on the word, and how it was used much differently at a later point in her life.
