PROJECT PROFILE

PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENTS This document is developed to provide the entrepreneur with potential investment opportunity in setting up and operating a small sized fast food restaurant offering a variety of food items to the general public. This feasibility study gives an insight into various aspects of planning, setting up and operating a fast food restaurant for the general populace. The document is designed to provide relevant details ( including technical) to facilitate the entrepreneur in making the decision by providing various technological as well as business alternatives. The document also allows flexibility to change various project parameters to suit the needs of the entrepreneur.

PROJECT BRIEF Fast food is food which is prepared and served quickly at outlets called fast- food restaurants. It is a multi-billion dollar industry which continues to grow rapidly in many

countries. A fast-food restaurant is a restaurant characterized both by food which is supplied quickly after ordering, and by minimal service. The food in these restaurants is often cooked in bulk in advance and kept warm, or reheated to order. Many fast-food restaurants are part of restaurant chains or franchise operations, and standardized foodstuffs are shipped to each restaurant from central locations. There are also simpler fast-food outlets, such as stands or kiosks, which may or may not provide shelter or chairs

for customers. Because the capital requirements to start a fast-food restaurant are relatively small, particularly in areas with non-existent or medium income population, small

individually owned fast-food restaurants have become common throughout the Philippines. Generally restaurants, where the customers sit down and have their food orders brought to them, are also considered fast food.

OPPORTUNITY RATIONALE The Fast Food Restaurant Market is a growing industry in the Philippines relying heavily on the changing lifestyle patterns, population growth of the target age group and the related increase in employment of women. With today's hectic lifestyles, time-saving products are increasingly in demand the most obvious being the fast food. The rate of growth in consumer expenditures on fast food has led most other segments of the food away from home market for much of the last one decade. Demand for convenience has driven expenditures where people want quick and convenient meals; they do not want to spend a lot of time preparing meals, traveling to pick up meals, or waiting for meals in restaurants. As a result, consumers rely on fast food. Knowing this, fast food providers are coming up with new ways to market their products that save time for consumers.

THE COMPANY

A diner is a prefabricated restaurant building characteristic of North America, especially on Long Island, in New York City, in New Jersey, and in other areas of the Northeastern United States, although examples can be found throughout the US and in Canada. Diners are characterized by a wide range of foods, mostly American, a casual atmosphere, a counter, and late operating hours. "Classic American Diners" are often characterized by an exterior layer of glimmering stainless steela feature unique to diner architecture.

Diners almost invariably serve American food such as hamburgers, french fries, club sandwiches, and so on. In our case, we serve pizzas, ice creams, cakes, and beverages such as coffee and fruit shake.

The diner structure is also Western-inspired. The exterior is like a trailer-house which has a close resemblance to a mini-bus. The interior colors are black and white with other cool color combinations. The motive is that it should give a relaxing and rejuvenating feeling for the customers. It also impress to the people that a clean atmosphere must be maintained so that they will feel at home.

Another trend in our business establishment is that the waiters serve with style. We intended them to serve on wheels by the use of roller skates. We will add up some old yet traditional antics in the diner like jukebox machines at daytime and a piano at night time When the company grew bigger, we will add up a mini library in the area for recreation purposes.

LOCATION

The diner is located at Quezon City that is considered as the largest city in the Philippines. The city is known for its urban residence and culture. So the food that our diner is providing is urbanized. It is important to find a location that has a continuous stream of traffic, convenient parking, and is in proximity to other businesses. The monthly rent is in-line with the plan's projected profit. Layout and design are major factors in our restaurant's success.

THE FASTFOOD INDUSTRY The fast-food industry is popular in our country, the source of most of its innovation, and many major international chains are based there. The presence of multinational fast food chains like McDonalds, KFC, Jollibee, Pizza Hut, Greenwich etc. have somewhat catered to the high income segment therefore developing a niche as upscale fast food restaurants. Multinational corporations such as these typically modify their menus to cater to local Filipino tastes and most overseas outlets are owned by native franchisees to ensure that cultural, ethnic, and community values are taken care of. Additionally, multinational fast-food chains are not the only or even the primary source of fast food in most cities of the Philippines. Many regional and local chains have developed around the main cities of the country to compete with international chains and provide menu items that appeal to the unique regional tastes and habits at comparatively low costs. In Philippines, multinational chains are considerably more expensive; they usually are frequented because they are considered chic and somewhat glamorous and because they usually are much cleaner than local eateries. However much of the middle-income segment (which forms a major chunk of fast food goers) prefers visiting local outlets that offer low cost fast food, hence more frequent visits.

INCREASING NUMBER OF FAST FOOD O UTLETS The rapid rate at which the fast food industry continues to add outlets is as much a reflection of consumer demand for convenience as it is a reflection of demand for fast food itself. Expanding the number of outlets increases accessibility, thus making it more convenient for consumers to purchase fast food. Especially in recent years, much of the expansion has been in the form of "satellite" outlets. These tend to be smaller in size, with little or no seating capacity, and are often in nontraditional locations, such as office buildings, department stores, airports, and gasoline stations; locations chosen specifically to maximize convenience and consumer accessibility.

CONSUMER APPEAL Fast- food outlets have become popular with consumers for several reasons. One is that through economies of scale in purchasing and producing food, these companies can deliver food to consumers at a very low cost. In addition, although some people dislike fast food for its predictability, it can be reassuring to a hungry person in a hurry or far from home.

Multinational Fast food chains like McDonald's rapidly gained a reputation for their cleanliness, fast service and a child-friendly atmosphere where families on the road could grab a quick meal, or seek a break from the routine of home cooking. Prior to the rise of the fast food chain restaurant, people generally had a choice between greasy-spoon diners where the quality of the food was often questionable and service lacking, or high-end restaurants that were

expensive and impractical for families with young children. Modern, stream-lined convenience of the fast food restaurant provides a new alternative and appealed to consumers' instinct for ideas and products associated with progress, technology and innovation. Fast food restaurants have rapidly become the eatery "everyone can agree on", with many featuring child-size menu combos, play areas and whimsical branding campaigns, designed to appeal to younger customers. Parents can have a few minutes of peace while children played or amused themselves with the toys included in the premises.

Many consumers see multinational fast food restaurants as symbols of the wealth, progress and well-ordered openness of Western society and therefore become trendy attractions in many cities around the Philippines, particularly among younger people with more varied tastes.

FOCUS ING ON CONSUMER CO NVENIENCE Fast Food outlets tend to focus on the work while you eat philosophy similar to the McDonald Outlets wherein seating space is also available for passengers in transition or the KFC outlets in large shopping malls promoting the concept of Shop While You Eat.

IN CREASING MARKET FOR FAST FOOD The growth rate in food consumption is also augmented by the rapid increase in the employment rate for males / female population aging between 20 to 29 years (fast food goers) hence the greater income contribution to the overall income generated is expected to be higher.

THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY Philippines economy is becoming increasingly service-oriented, and over the past several decades, the foodservice industries that offer the highest levels of convenience have been rewarded with strong sales growth. In the face of rising population, incomes and increasingly hectic work schedules, a nearly insatiable demand for convenience will

continue to drive fast food sales. Fast Food Outlets will strive to find ways to make their products even more accessible. Even if incomes stagnate or attitudes change, consumers are unlikely to return to meal preparation at home on a large scale. This suggests that even if consumers choose to spend more time at home, for family or other reasons, much of the meal preparation will still occur elsewhere. Many more table service restaurants, which traditionally focus on full-service in house dining, will likely try to capture part of this market by offering take-out, and possibly experimenting with home delivery. The value of consumer time, as well as the demand for consistent, high-quality food products, will continue to shape the fast food industry. Fast food, once considered a novelty, has become an increasingly significant part of the young generations diet. The role of convenience in this dietary shift cannot be over-emphasized, and the future growth

KEY SUCCESS FACTO RS PRACTICAL TIPS FOR SUCCESS Whether you are opening a one-of-a-kind restaurant or trying to grow your existing restaurant into a multi-unit chain, there are winning principles that can help shape your restaurant and improve its chances of succeeding.

i) Conceive the Winning Concept A well-defined concept stands a much better chance of long term success than some vague notion. To start, it is wise to first set specific goals and decide on the ways you will measure your restaurants success.

ii) LongEtivity This can be described as the art of being able to maintain success over time while adjusting to meet the changing demands and buying habits of the customer. To open a restaurant successfully and become profitable is one thing, but to maintain that success over a long period of time is winning.

iii) Consistency To not simply open a restaurant, but to truly develop a winning concept requires implementing systems and procedures to ensure consistency of your operation.

Page 19

Boulevard Diner
Where what you want to eat is in the boulevard. 77 West Avenue Project 7, Quezon City www.boulevarddiner.com.ph (023) 294-0253

iv) Market Appeal All restaurants want to be busy but winning concepts seem to have a broad appeal and well developed points of difference that enable them to dominate their market niche. To be the first place the customer thinks of going when choosing to dine out is the goal of the winning concept.

v) Expandability Consistency of quality and service, and operating systems and management procedures

established in the first unit can result in more expandable opportunities where all systems are already developed and waiting to be implemented.

vi) Menu Pricing One of the most important factors in the strategic planning of a restaurant is in the development of the menu. It involves designing an appealing selection of menu items that are competitively priced in the marketplace. Menu pricing is a very tricky task because you need to price items so that you can operate profitably and, just as important, offer your targeted guests a good price/value relationship.

vii) Selecting Prime Location The specific location within your target area also is critical. If you are situated in an infrequently traveled area nowhere near complimentary businesses or at the back of a mall, you limit your earning potential. Even if you are the only outlet in town you must gauge the likelihood of outsiders visiting your restaurant. If the restaurant is right off of a major freeway heavily traveled by truckers and road trippers you may be highly successful despite a remote location.

PROPOSSED BUSINESS LEGAL STATUS Although the legal status of business tends to play an important role in any setup, the proposed fast food business is assumed to operate on a sole proprietorship basis which may extend to partnership in case of addition of new products that might add significant business to the existing setup.

SAFETY REGULATIONS Restaurants are regulated and subject to inspection, and failing to be up to speed with these regulations could be detrimental to the fast food outlet. Therefore the company is doing and submitting all the legal documents included to start the restaurant.

ADVERT ISEMENT & MARKET After determining the marketing budget, price out billboard advertising, flyers in newspapers, and local cable TV advertising. We will ask our customers how they found out about us, so that we can record where our advertising and marketing money are best spent. Opening up food stalls and setting up tasting booths at local neighborhood events or having an event at the restaurant benefiting a students event, can be an inexpensive way to achieve positive word-of-mouth.

DESIGNING & DECOR Since customers ultimately drive restaurant design trends, many of our restaurant design ideas will come from your clientele. The design ideas are bred with an understanding of the types of experiences the customers are looking for and the promise brand has made to them. The restaurant designers process begins with a thorough understanding of the eaterys menu, location, customers, architectural preferences and lighting concerns. More than just a design powwow, the restaurant designers process. The design considers the flow of waiter staff from the kitchen to the dining area or from the dining area to the restrooms. The restaurant designers process contemplates the overall circulation within the restaurant for maximum efficiency.

THE E M P L O Y E E S Choosing employees who will do a good job is not only important to the success of the business, but will also contribute to the image of the establishment, provided they are properly trained. There are several categories of personnel in the restaurant business: manager, cooks, servers, busboys, dishwashers and cleaners. The following responsibilities are as follows:

Chefs and Cooks. We have decided to have three cooks - two full time and one part time. But one lead cook may need to arrive early in the morning to begin preparing soups, bread and other items to be served that day. One full-time cook should work days, and the other evenings. The part-time cook will help during peak hours, such as weekend rushes, and can work as a line cook during slower periods, doing simple preparation. They are responsible for planning the set menu items and any specials as well as provide the recipes in most cases. In addition, the chef is usually responsible for placing food orders and necessary kitchen tool orders in order to enable the preparation of the meals. The chef will also address any complaints which affect his kitchen staff and resolve those issues. One who is the chef of the establishment may also like to get behind the burners and engage in some cooking and food preparation as well.

Waiter Write patrons' food orders on order slips, memorize orders, or enter orders into computers for transmittal to kitchen staff. Serve food and/or beverages to patrons; prepare and serve specialty dishes at tables as required. Remove dishes and glasses from tables or counters, and take them to kitchen for cleaning. Prepare tables for meals, including setting up items such as linens, silverware, and glassware.

Cashier Prepare checks that itemize and total meal costs and sales taxes. Scans the goods through a machine called a cash register that the consumer wishes to purchase at the retail store. After all of the goods have been scanned, the cashier then collects payment for the goods or services exchanged.

Dishwashers We have decided to have two dishwashers that washes all the dishes (plates, glasses, utensils, etc.)

Floor Manager The one who assists the waiter in cleaning the area and will be the one to check all the procedures of the restaurant. Guard

The one who safeguards the vicinity of the diner. There will be two guards one or night and another at day time.

KEYCONCEPTSOFEMPLOYEES

Measuring good service is subjective, but generally what is expected from a server when reviewing restaurants. The server should greet diners within 3 minutes of their being seated. The server should neat and clean. The server should not be too chatty or familiar. The server should know the menu and be able to answer questions. The server should bring dr inks within 3 minutes of being ordered. The appetizer (if any) should be served within 5 minutes of order ing. Entrees should be served within 20 minutes of ordering. Water or beverage glasses should be refilled regularly. The server should silently survey the table and assess our needs without constantly interrupting to ask, "Do you need anything else?" The bill should be brought promptly when requested, and change should be returned promptly. Plates should be removed at the proper time, and the table should be cleared of bread and butter before dessert is served.

BUILDING INTERIOR DESIGN Boulevard Diner assumed to design a restaurant interior , where the customers played their own music inside booths at this pizza restaurant in. The interior design showed projections at both ends of wall. There were suspended mirrors over the counters in the central kitchen. So, the pizza being prepared could be watched by the diners.

There were domes hanging over the booths in the contemporary interior, allowing customers to alter the lighting and plug in their own mp3 players. Customers could call a waiters attention by pressing a button to illuminate the dome above their table.

The contemporary restaurant was built, to celebrate the skill of authentic handmade pizza, to expand the concept of feeding great conversation and to reconnect with the pioneering spirit of the founder

The restaurant interior involved re-looking at everything from design and furniture, crockery and acoustics, opening hours and uniforms, to all the food, wine and service. The kitchen looked like a stage with all the ingredients on show, and pizzaiolos who do acrobatics with the dough. The restaurants full of cutting edge acoustics, including conversation booths with domes was designed. It aimed for creating the perfect audio environment and talking to one another. It could dim the lights. It also played own music by plugging your ipod into the docking station. The customer wanted to serve, by pressing a light and the dome glows. At either end of the restaurant could be played by the projections. In the toilets, a soundscape could be played. It also had a whole new graphic style. It involved taking the idea of the stripes of the pizzaiolos shirts and using it in surprising ways and creating a new typography based on old newspapers. Children playground with a big shared drawing table, books and interactive games to teach them about food and ingredients was available. The project was developed a new layout for the restaurant, a layout for colour and energy, a layout that putted food first and displayed the food, a layout which there was the chef in the centre.

LAYOUT The layout of the dining room, kitchen space, storage space and counter. Our restaurants allot 40 to 60 percent of the space to the dining area, approximately 30 percent to the kitchen and prep area, and the remainder to storage and office space. Dining area. This is where the company be making the bulk of money. Our dining room design will depend on the concept. The 40 to 50 percent of all sit-down customers arrive in pairs; 30 percent come alone or in parties of three; and 20 percent come in groups of four or more. To accommodate the different groups of customers, we use tables for four that can be pushed together in areas where there is ample floor space. This gives the flexibility in accommodating both small and large parties. Place booths for four to six people along the walls.

Production area. The production area in a restaurant is efficiently designed--the result is a highly organized kitchen and more than top-notch service. We included space for receiving, storage, food preparation, cooking, baking, dishwashing, production aisles, trash storage, employee facilities and an area for a small office where you can perform daily management duties. We Arrange our food production area so that everything is just a few steps away from the cook. The design also allow for two or more cooks to be able to work side by side during the busiest hours.

RENT MODE The proposed premises will be acquired on a rental basis with 6 month deposit and 6 months advance rent after which rent will be payable on a monthly basis. The monthly rent is approximately Rs. 50/ Sq Feet for the ground floor which would amount to Rs. 100,000 per month for the proposed fast food outlet (2,000 Sq Ft.)

RECEPTION AND OWNER OFFICE To allow for maximum space for dining and security concerns (Cash control) the owner should manage the reception counter as well as all cash handling emanating from the tables. Therefore a total of Rs. 50,000 would be required to erect the reception and cash counter along with the take-away order taking booth. The Office Furniture & Equipment will be depreciated at the rate of 10% per annum according to the diminishing balance method for the projected period.

PROPER SANITATION Safety and sanitation are the hallmarks of proper kitchen management, both commercial and private. Proper use of kitchen utensils and equipment will reduce the risk of being injured. The most common injuries in a kitchen are cuts and burns.

Proper sanitation helps reduce the opportunity for cross-contamination and the risk of contracting food-borne illnesses. Cross-contamination refers to the transfer of bacteria from one food product to another, such as chopping tomatoes on a board with raw chicken. The most common avenues through which cross-contamination can occur, besides dirty hands, are kitchen utensils, such as knives, cookware and thermometers, and surface areas found on cutting boards, ovens and grills.

It introduce heat or chemicals to kill off bacteria, the ideal water temperature for washing in the kitchen is no lower than 110 degrees Fahrenheit. KI TCHEN UTENSILS SANITATION y Cutting Board - Cutting board with towel and chef's knife

Secure the board with a towel or no-slip material. The editors for "The Taste of Home Cookbook" recommend using a cutting board made of a softer material, such as wood or plastic, to keep the knife sharp and reduce the risk of the knife's edge slipping. Like any kitchen surface area or utensils, a cutting board should be washed in between each task using hot, soapy water. However, the editors at America's Test Kitchen write that a cutting board should be sanitized twice a week using 1 tsp. of bleach to 1 quart of water, or in a dishwasher.

Knives - "Choking up" on the knife

Knives are essential kitchen utensils, but they need to be sharp. Accidents are more likely to occur when using a dull knife because it requires more pressure to cut. In her book, "30-Minute Meals," Rachael Ray reminds her readers to "choke up on the bat" and grip the handle of the knife where it joins the blade. Your other hand should have its fingertips tucked under the palm to avoid losing them. Cleaning and sharpening also require a presence of mind and an awareness of the blade. Knives should be washed and dried by hand, and not left to soak with other dishes or run through a dishwasher cycle.

Cookware - Boiling pot and saucepan on a range

Pots and pans cook food by conducting and distributing heat to the cooking surface, but handles should stay cool and be oven-safe. Use a dry kitchen towel to wrap the handle if it becomes too hot or is being removed from an oven. Clean using soap and hot water, and avoid harsh chemicals, because of the cookware surface's contact with food.

Oven - Oven unit with top-cook range

Remember, the outside surfaces of an oven are also hot when cooking, especially the door. When using a gas unit, verify the hose is in good working order and inspect it for cracks and other signs of wear. In their book, "The New Grilling Book," Better Homes and Gardens recommends using

a spray bottle of soapy water to spritz joints and fittings of gas lines looking for any bubbles, which would indicate a leak. Food is typically not placed directly on an oven surface, so using a heavy-duty oven cleaner is not an issue of food safety, as long as the surface is wiped clean.

Grill - 18-inch tongs with grill

Cooking on a grill requires reaching over a surface area that reaches an average temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Using 18-inch tongs when grilling will reduce the risk of burning yourself. The surface area of a grill when hot is well above the temperature required to kill any bacteria that could cause a food-borne illness. In "The New Grilling Book," Better Homes and Gardens recommends using a brass-bristle brush to loosen the carbon on the grill surface before cleaning with hot, soapy water. Cleaning grills after every use not only prevents grease fires but extends the life of the equipment.

Thermometer - Digital thermometer with detachable probe

Using a calibrated thermometer when cooking ensures food is safe and kept out of the temperature danger zone (40 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit), reducing the risk of food borne illnesses. Taking temperatures while food is cooking, such as on a grill or in an oven, increases your risk of being burned, and extra caution should be used when performing these tasks. Wash the probe in between temping products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

DISHWASHING SANITATION Food safety is one of the most important tasks given to a restaurant manager and staff; policies and procedures must be followed in order to ensure that food-borne illnesses are not allowed to spread. Handwashing

The most important policy to follow is proper handwashing procedures. Hang a handwashing poster over each sink, and ensure that all team members follow it religiously. y FIFO

When storing food, always follow the FIFO plan: First In, First Out. Newer food is to be stored behind or on the bottom of the stacks, leaving older food more likely to be used first. y Dishwashing

Follow all state laws in regards to dishwashing procedures. Use a three sink method, utilizing wash, rinse and sanitize procedures. Keep test strips nearby to test sanitizer water frequently. y Tables

Tables must be cleaned and sanitized after each customer. Sanitizer water should be kept in separate buckets for this use, and it should be changed frequently.

Sick Employees

Employees with coughs, sneezing or other symptoms should stay home so as not to infect fellow workers.

Temperature

Use digital thermometers to test food temperature frequently throughout the day. Cold food should be below 40 degrees, hot food above 140. Any food that is not within the desired range should be immediately discarded.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE SCOPE

The Company Disciplinary Procedure will be used only when necessary and as a last resort. Where possible, informal and/or formal counselling or other good management practice will be used to resolve matters prior to any disciplinary action being taken. The procedure is intended to be positive rather than punitive but takes cognisance of the fact that sanctions may have to be applied in some circumstances.

An employee can discuss any part of this policy with their Union Representative or their Line Manager. They can help clarify an employees rights as well as give guidance and support where it may be needed. Every individual has the right to representation at any point during the disciplinary process.

SUSPENSION

Suspension is not disciplinary action. The purpose of suspension is manifold and can be used when it is necessary to remove a member of staff from the workplace pending an investigation for example, to allow time for a 'cooling down period' for both parties, for their own or others protection, to prevent them influencing or being influenced by others or to prevent possible interference with evidence. Only the Manager in charge of that individual, at that time or their superior, have the authority to suspend an individual.

An employee suspended from duty will receive written confirmation within three days of: y y y y the reason for the suspension the date and time from which the suspension will operate. the timescale of the ongoing investigation. the right of appeal to the immediate manager of the suspending manager should the suspension last more than 7 days

COUNSELLING

Counselling is an attempt to correct a situation and prevent it from getting worse without having to use the disciplinary procedure. Where improvement is required, the employee must be given clear guidelines as to: y y y y what is expected in terms of improving shortcomings in conduct or performance the time scales for improvement when this will be reviewed the employee must also be told, where appropriate, that failure to improve may result in formal disciplinary action.

A record of the counselling should be given to the employee and a copy retained in their personnel file. It is imperative that any counselling should be followed up and improvements recognised and recorded. Once the counselling objectives have been met, any record of the counselling will be removed from the employees file.

If during counselling it becomes clear that the matter is more serious, then the discussion should be adjourned, and pursued under the formal disciplinary procedure.

PROCEDURE FOR FORMAL INVESTIGATION 1. Formal investigations should be carried out by the most appropriate manager who is not directly involved with the incident being investigated. This manager may involve others to assist with the investigation process. All the relevant facts should be gathered promptly as soon as is practicable after the incident. Statements should be taken from witnesses at the earliest opportunity. Any physical evidence should be preserved and/or photographed if reasonable to do so.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND KEYASSUMPT IONS The project cost estimates for the proposed fast food outlet have been formulated on the basis of discussions with relevant stakeholders and experts. The cost projections cover the cost of land, building, inventory, equipment including office furniture etc. The specific assumptions relating to individual cost components are given as under:

R E V E N U E A N D C O S T P R O J E C T I ON The Sales are expected to increase by 15% every year while the cost of raw materials is assumed to increase by 10%. The 15% annual increase in revenue is expected to result from a part increase in population increase and part increase in product price.

The prices used to calculate the gross revenue earned are based on the billing rate at which the entrepreneur will charge the customer. The pr ices are also inclusive of the General Sales Tax. Furthermore it is assumed that the following sales breakup will form the revenue streams for the fast food outlet: Revenue Stream Dine In Take Away Home Delivery Total % of Total Sales 60% 20% 20% 100 %

Ethics and Social Responsibility The hotel and restaurant industrys contribution to the Philippine economy grew from 1.29% to the 1994 gross domestic product (GDP) to 1.35% in 1998, a 4.6% increase. In terms of the gross national product, the sectors contribution went up slightly, 1.6%, from 1.26% in 1994 to 1.28% in 1998. The hotel and restaurant industry continued to employ about 1% of the countrys labor force

Ethics are talked about frequently and addressed in the news when unethical decisions are found. Sadly, people do not hear about ethics when others are engaging in ethical behavior on a daily basis. Keep in mind that things that are not illegal may be unethical. Ethics are an individual belief system that consists of knowing what is right and wrong. Ethics can vary person to person. Ethics is in part analyzing decisions, beliefs, and actions. Within the business context, businesses are expected to have good ethical values and act socially responsible. The problem is that the ethics of a business is a mixture of individual sets of ethics. This is why it is important to have good individuals as

employees. It is also equally important that when you go to work somewhere that you feel like you share the values of those you work with. Ethics is not just talking about the right thing. It is doing what is right in every decision that is made. Social responsibility can be an example of ethical behavior. It is enhancing society in general. However, a business cant afford to go around doing good deeds if there is no potential pay off. If the business were to loose too much money, then it would cease to exist, hurt customers, and leave employees jobless. There are some that argue that social responsibility is shown only when companies go beyond what is optional, and really intend to create a benefit for others besides the company. Additionally, some companies may not benefit from some forms of social responsibility. These businesses should focus on what they do best as a business and give back what they can. Examples of socially responsible behavior range from projects that raise money for research on diseases, raising money for the needy, requiring workers to volunteer within the community, recalling products that may be dangerous, promoting recycling, and offering free services to the disadvantaged. There are innumerable ethical dilemmas that may arise in a business setting. Some of them are more obvious while some of them are more obscure. There is a simple

Boulevard Diner

basis that helps keep decisions in perspective. Businesses should operate in a manner that is legal, profitable, ethical, and within social norms. By being within social norms means that you need to use society to gauge if your decisions are appropriate. Some cultures would define what is ethical differently from other cultures. Due to the fact that all businesses need to be profitable, sometimes there is an over emphasis on making more money. Social norms should govern what is appropriate to compensate individuals as well as to charge customers. Profit expectations and goals should not require a business to cut corners in an unethical way or to misrepresent or twist facts. Then where do ethics come from? People begin to develop their internal beliefs from the time they are small children. Factors such as the conditions that an individual grows up in affect the way that they see the world. For example if a child was raised in a household with a lot of violence, they might feel that fighting is okay. The beliefs of the peers around you may influence how you see things. It is human nature to want to belong and some are more apt to give into peer pressure. People have a lot in common with their peers due to similar values in the first place. However, it is hard to find two people that feel exactly the same about every situation. Some people would feel that if they found

money that they should be able to stick it in their pocket and keep it. Others would feel as if they should take it to the lost and found area. Keeping money that you find on the ground in a public place is not illegal, but some people would not be able to benefit from a situation while the person who lost it could be potentially found. Powerful situational factors may cause people to compromise their values and resort to measures that they would not normally take. If someone is having financial problems, then they are more likely to steal. An individual that is very angry with another person may have a hard time being objective and fair. Then why do people engage in unethical behaviors? Many people feel that they wont be caught. An employee that steals a few dollars out of petty cash may eventually result to taking large amounts of cash if they are never caught. Someone with lots of authority may feel like they can cover their tracks by lying to subordinates. Some people are unethical because they can justify what they are doing. If an employee sees other people not being punished for unethical behavior, then they may feel like they should be able to do it to. Some individuals make a poor choice and instead of coming clean about it feel the need to make more choices to cover it up. Once bad decisions are made, they tend to get worse until they are eventually caught. The biggest reason people are

unethical is because they feel that they can gain from it, or that they need to hide something that can hurt them. There are many things that an organization can do to facilitate good ethical behaviors. One of the best things to do is to make sure that the underlying culture of an organization promotes strong values. People should not be punished for coming forward with problems. As a matter of fact, workers should be allowed to communicate problems anonymously. Some organizations have a phone number to call or a suggestion box. Always allow employees to share any ethical concerns with authority above them when there are ambiguities about the right thing to do. Include a code of ethics as a written document for employees to read. Develop brochures, mission statements, and other media that express the company beliefs. Higher authorities within the organization should possess the beliefs and demonstrate the values that they want to see their employees have. Another method for implementing ethical conduct is to make sure that unethical conduct cant occur. The ability to safeguard resources is an important function of internal controls. Examples of internal controls are to make sure that more than one employee works with cash and accounting related materials. This way there is more than one person who knows what is going on and can identify theft. Other methods are to

require signatures, to lock up valuables, use security cameras, have employees rotate jobs, and randomly check employee work. The more secure your business is, the less likely that individuals within the organization will make unethical decisions.
