Management was confident that Panera Breads attractive menu and the dining ambiance of its bakerycafs provided significant growth opportunity, despite the fiercely competitive nature of the restaurant industry. Panera Bread competed with specialty food, casual dining and quick service restaurant retailers including national, regional and locally owned restaurants. Its closest competitors were restaurants in the so-called fast casual restaurant category. Fast casual restaurants filled the gap betweeen fast-food and casual, full table service dining . A fast casual restaurant provided quick-service dining (much like fast-food enterprises) but were distinguished by enticing menus, higher food quality, and more inviting dining environments; typical meal costs per guest were in the $7-$12 range.
This is your most typical restaurant experience. Banquet style cooking is structured quite differently. A banquet is an event held by an organization or a person for a specific event where there is a predetermined menu, or food stations set up for self-service. In this essay I will explore these two styles of dining and the differences and similarities between the two. Having the opportunity to complete my externship at the Round Hill Country Club has really opened my eyes to the world of Banquet style and A La Carte cooking.
Each restaurant tries to make themselves different from their competitors by the products that they offer. Products range from American to Mexican to Chinese to Italian and more. There is also differentiation amongst the type of restaurant they are.

Another major characteristic is the supply/demand conditions.
A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a product, place, industry or person. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favourable and unfavourable to achieving that objective. The business that was displayed on our instruction sheet showed me the percentages of needs of the customer. • 75% want more children’s sandwiches • 82%want the shop to be open longer • 65% said that the staff were unfriendly • 50% said the contents of the sandwiches should be fresher • 80% said that they would prefer more wraps Analysing this information using SWOT there is an explanation for the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the business. The strengths of this company is that 82% want the shop to be open longer, that proves the customers enjoy the service that is being supplied.
The “Five Forces” are external forces that a corporation needs to consider for its business strategy to compete with other in the real world. The “Five Forces” that shape the competition according to Mr. Porter are: 1) Threat of New Entrants, 2) Bargaining Power of Suppliers, 3) Bargaining Power of Buyers, 4) Threat of Substitute Products or Services, and 5) Rivalry Among Existing Competitors.

When I look on the menu, the way they have their food displayed is great. Every time I order something, I get something that does not look like what I saw on the menu. I know that my food is not going to look exactly like the menu, but let it look at least something like the menu. When you get food that looks totally different from what you saw and the waiter is trying to convince you that it is the same order, then it is a problem. All I am saying is let the presentation on the menu look somewhat like the food that they are serving you.
