2/3/11 Research Topic

I am using a Chinese restraints called China Gormet as my research site. What I currently know about this site is the location, the hours and the prices. All of this information is easy to get due to their printed menu's that they give you with all take out orders. On average, lunch plates cost about $4.95 and dinner plates cost about $8. I have observed, in the previous times that I was there, that the same people work all the time. There is either a Chinese man or woman or a Caucasian woman who is in her early twenties working the cash register. There are two Chinese men that work in back cooking the food. I know that China Gormet is typically a take-out place due to its small size and that the food is amazing.

From my research I would like to learn how China Gormet can possibly charge so little for such large portions and still make a profit. Over the past two years that I have been regurally visiting my research site I have noticed that the prices have raised but not by much. I would also like to know who holds management positions and why they decided to hire a Caucasian twenty something year old to work with them.
