Management Function Analysis
Quality assurance is the key success factors and in fact, the quality perception at the psychological and physiological levels has been taken care of. The choice of the "old timer stuff" in their branding language successfully brings out the old time value system of "rewarding oneself with good stuff after a hard day's work" This "old timer" image provides the context in which the physical high quality food and high quality service are based. A perfect combination of mind and matter results in a unique service that can implant a deep memory in the mind of customers.
