Question 2
Burger Queen is a chain of fast-food restaurants. The key claim to fame of the Burger
Queen restaurants is that their fried chips are extra crunchy. Also, to ensure that there is a
consistent standard of food and services across the country, the management of the chain
conducts spot checks on restaurants. Failure to provide the high standard expected by
Burger Queen management can mean that the franchise to a particular location can be
taken away from the franchisee. Burger Queen management is responsible for the
television advertising across the county as well as the marketing program, including the
special deals that may be available at any particular time.
Each restaurant is responsible for its own sales, cooking of food, training of staff, and
general matters such as cleanliness of the store. However, all material used in the making
of the burgers and other items old are provided at a given cost from the central
management, which can thereby control the quality and the price.
