I would to know if it possible to have a small restaurant into a similar McDonal type of franchise. How much would that cost? where would I buy these materials and foods?

I know this isn’t really a football question but I was wondering if people here have any insight…

I was reading that this past June that a good majority of the ESPN Zone’s shut down (NYC Time Square one of them) and the franchise seems to be going downhill.

Why do you think this chain is going down?

1.Last month the mean waiting time at the drive through window of a fast-food restaurant was 3.7 minutes. The franchise has installed a new process intended to reduce waiting time. After the installation, a random sample of 64 orders is selected. The sample mean waiting time is 3.57 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 0.8 minutes. At a 5% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence that the population mean waiting time is now less than 3.7 minutes?

I’ve answered many questions like this before. They all seem to be from middle schoolers. This adds to the shame of me having to post this quire. I am 22; a senior in college. There it is. Its not like I spend my days playing WoW either!

Essentially: I’ve moved out of the dormitories into an apartment; where I live alone. At the dorms I failed to form relationships. Most of my time I was alone. Recently I took a semester off; in order to earn money for rent. My dad owns the business and its a restaurant; more like a franchise; I work there 40 hour weeks; and EVERYBODY on the staff HATES ME!!!! Its so grueling! Simply because I’m lazy, really??? Look I KNOW I don’t deserve the job! I get that! I don’t work very hard; I’m slow and working with my hands quickly to make food isn’t my skill set. I’m not good at it.

Every day I go in to a barrage of gossip and hate and anger and all of this shit; and for what? Its terrible. So draining, so exhausting. I mean, would you also work at full capacity if you had to deal with all of that???? The way they talk about me is god awful. I have no friends at work. None.

Which brings me to my personal life; since I transferred Freshman year (ergo losing all of my OSU friends and High School friends all in one fell swoop- b/c they moved away, leaving me at my new college MSU). I have been hanging out with the same 3 people; Jessie, Justin and Tyler. Much has changed in the past 4 years. Justin is a major drug addict with whom I no longer associate as I can not afford that liability. I got Tyler his first job working for my father; this is a double whammy because the power structure between us has been segued AND he is also well informed of my bad reputation at work. Leaving Jessie; he will soon be joining the Army and leaving for basic training. I’m the closest to Jessie.

The point is; at my age; I feel as though I should have a larger and more varied social circle, and I don’t.

I also don’t have a lot of spare time. Most of it is spent at work.

I would like to make some new friends, meet people; but after so long I fear that I may have forgotten how.

Its almost like I want to move far away; like to Canada or New Zeland or South Africa; and change my name; and not be ME anymore. To leave everything and start again; I even thought about joining the army the other day; and, believe me, if you knew me, you would think to yourself ‘That is NOT a person who is ever going to join the army’. Its like I just want all of this to end; not for me to end; but if I were able to simply wake up and not remember who I was or what I did or my life; If I could simply wipe my mind clean…its like if I could do that then I could be happy.

McDonald’s Maternity Leave? Continuous employment laws? franchise and company restaurants?
I have worked in Mcdonald’s restaurants for six years now, in that time i have worked in various company restaurants all over the uk. the first store i worked in was a company restuarant in my home town, when i went to college i moved to a different company rrestaurantand worked in the one in my home town on my term breaks. I continued to work in the company rrestaurantnear college but stopped working in the one in my home town because i was spending more time at the city where my college was. After some time the McDonald’s restaurant in my home town became a francise restaurant. I recently discovered im pregnant and moved home to be near my family, i have had an interview with the business manager of the francise restaurant in my home town and am awaiting news of whether my transfer will be granted. He has phoned my other boss in the other mcdonalds where i worked for a reference, the other boss said it sounded like “he was looking for a reason not o give me a job!” however my boss give me a glowing reference and said he should have no reason not to give me it.

Anyways all this has taken about three weeks to sort out and although i received some holiday pay from my store near to college im worried it will effect my continuous employment.

i am wondering what my rights are in terms of statuary maternity pay ? does moving from a compnay to a francise restaurant matter? and what can i do if he decides not to hire me as i fear he may have heard im pregnant because i live in a very small and gossiping town…

please help, im currently ten weeks pregnant

I am making a letter of proposal to my big boss for a position I want to create. I work for a large chain of restaurants within a franchise.

The position with involve me traveling from store to store in my district (32 stores) and check to insure that all front of the house things are being followed. i.e. promotional items are up, restaurant presentation is good (dusting, lights, etc.) bar presentation is good… you get the idea. I would also be performing local store marketing task like booking catering events, fundraisers, etc.

I have the full letter and description of the position done, I just need a catchy name for the position. I want it to have “District —” or something that sounds very official and professional. Nothing simple like “District Marketer”… that is too boring…

Thanks for the help!

I am currently 19 right now and I have about $15,000. Obviously that is not enough, but I would like to know some ways that I can afford to own a restaurant? Some tips on how I can do this. Thanks.
