Zinn’s Burgers and Pizza This report is intended to identify and provide an understanding on how to further improve Ottershaw branch of Zinn’s Burgers and Pizza, as requested by Chris Pike (Manager). Part (a) I’ve identified the following problems from the case study: • Late closing hours, 3am • Age of employees at supervisory role i.e. Night Managers i. Night managers were usually the same age as or younger than some of the other employees (Assignment booklet, p.14) • High turnover of staff • Lack of training i. “night managers do not receive any formal training for this role” (Assignment booklet, p.13) • Employees attitude and behaviour i.
(Name) (Professor) (Course) (Date) Summary of “On Dumpster Diving” “On Dumpster Diving” is about the author’s experiences with being homeless and living on things he has found in Dumpsters. He explains that a lot of food that is thrown out is actually safe to eat, but people are just too picky about expiration dates and what food looks like. The author claims to have even found still-frozen ice cream and yogurt that was still good while diving for a quick meal. At one point is his life, the author had a steady supply of pizza from the Dumpster behind a pizza place. The pizza place would often make a pizza and then could not sell it for various reasons, so they would have to box it up and throw it away.
Case Study Questions: 1. Make a list of pizza delivery attributes that are important to you as a customer. 2. Combine your list with the lists of a few other class members and categorize the items under a series of major headings. | Julie | KC | Pino | Alan | Quality | | | Pizza is delivered hotPizza appears as seen in advertisements | | Price | | | Affordable | | Speed | | | Time to deliver is less than 30 minutes | | Mode of payment | | | Cash or accepts credit card | | Attitude of the Delivery boy | | | Delivery boy is polite | | 3.
12.6. Create a questionnaire checklist that can be used to evaluate controls for each of the four basic activities in the revenue cycle (sales order entry, shipping, billing, and cash collections). A.) For each control issue, write a Yes/No question such that a “No” answer represents a control weakness. For example, one question might be, “Are customer credit limits set and modified by a credit manager with no sales responsibility?” B.)
Simply put, the soda ban policy would not accomplish its goal of reducing obesity rates because it does nothing to truly lower the public’s consumption of sugary beverages. If the government truly wants to reduce the consumption of sugary beverages, the solution would be to tax them. The first problem with the soda ban policy is that it only applies to establishments that receive Health Department ratings such as restaurants, sports venues, and movie theatres. This also means that convenience stores, vending machines, and supermarkets are still able to sell sugary beverages as big as they want. So just how much of the public’s consumption of soda takes place at restaurants?
The Real Cost of Things In his article “The Political Economy of Twinkies: An inquiry into the Real Cost of Things,” Richard Robbins discusses how the price of a Twinkie costs a mere $1.00 in the supermarket; however, that small price does not even come close to the real value – cost – of the Twinkie. So many factors go into the production of a Twinkie that consumers never see in the price of their delicious afternoon snack. Hidden costs of each ingredient in a Twinkie must first be examined, including the monetary and non-monetary expenses that go towards producing and distributing those ingredients, and then accounted for respectively. The price a consumer pays at the checkout of their local Wal-mart or Target never includes the costs producers hide – most notably is the costs that derive from the underpayment of labor. Robbins magnifies this hidden cost through the main ingredient of Twinkies: cane sugar.
The two main method of recording accounting transaction are cash basis and accrual basis accounting. Cash basis and accrual basis have their advantages and disadvantages, but only one method is approved by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).The difference between accrual and cash basis accounting has to do with the time frame in which revenues and expenses are recorded and reported. Accrual basis accounting matches revenues to the time period in which they are earned and matches expenses to the time period in which they are incurred. The accrual basis allows the business to track receivables (amounts due from customers on credit sales) and payables (amounts due to vendors on credit purchases). Accrual basis on accounting is the method of accounting that most business and professionals are required to use by law because of its matching principles.
Higa Industries Case What channels of Distribution will HIGA undertake? The channel of distribution that HIGA will undertake is a 1-level channel. This is because HIGA is not the manufacturing company on this case. That is why Domino’s Pizza, the company that operates six supply chain centers which manufacture dough and distribute food and supplies, enter into the picture. They send it directly to Higa Industries Co., Ltd. and then HIGA, the Master Franchisee of the Domino Pizza, will deliver it to the customers.
And as far as depreciation, there really is no depreciation for cash accounting, but for accrual accounting there is depreciation, because in accrual accounting you are able to choose which method you would like to use, and with fund accounting it really pretty much depends on the type of fund whether it be debit or credit that you are operating in before you can consider depreciation as valid or not. Inventory is accounted for n all of the three types of accounting, accrual because it mainly relies on when the customer orders the inventory item from you even though the person did not pay for the item, they are still obligated by law to send you money so that you are able to recognize the purchase of the item, and in fund accounting, although some of the funds used in this method only recognize current assets and ignore long-term assets most of these funds will not have inventory, but a lot of them will. I believe that there is a difference between two of these organizations that adopted a particular accounting method this is that Accrual is a relatively complex method used, and it makes it more expensive to implement, which is the absolute complete opposite of cash flow, because cash flow is when transactions are recognized, that is only when there is an exchange of cash being made. The strengths and weaknesses of these various types of accounting methods are that the strengths are that all business that have these methods are able to keep track of all of the transactions, the products sold in their stores and the cash flow in and out of their businesses on a daily basis, and I really do not think that there are any weaknesses that come from any of these types of accounting, because to me by using each of these methods still puts money on the paycheck the only thing that could be a weakness is that if you work within a small business organization that does not
Leadership of the Manager How Did the Issue Arise? The manager of the Perfect Pizza store had several examples of poor leadership while managing the restaurant. This may be due to the lack of systematic criteria for becoming a manager within the Perfect Pizza franchise to include no college education required and no formal training. Despite the lack of formal training, the manager of the restaurant has a results oriented management style that avoids how the results are achieved as long as the results are achieved. Additionally, the
