For the first phase of your project, you will need to define your project.  The primary element for this milestone is the drafting of a Concept Statement. The concept statement will include the following information;

  • Describe the type of operation in relation to common food service concepts
  • Identify the target market
    • identify type of cuisine
    • identify location
    • identify competition
    • explain/support decisions to serve that cuisine in that location
  • Determine permits that may be needed and their costs
  • Determine design professionals and contractors you will seek to hire and justify
  • Highlight key menu items
  • Discuss how pricing will be established
  • List the days and hours of operation or explain any variation from the traditional model
  • Determine approximate number of employees; total and by job role
  • Determine the capacity (number of seats) and justify your decision based on expected seat turnover rates
  • Indicate whether there will be a bar (and its capacity) and explain decision
  • Describe the mode of service
  • Discuss planned production approaches (cook to order, scratch versus convenience foods)
  • Determine if baking will be performed on-site and assess needs if so
  • Indicate how soiled dishes and utensils will be handled (cleared by servers; self-bussing, etc.)

DO NOT outline the concept statement by the above elements.  Draft a document you would use to present to investors or partners that includes the above information.

Writing Guidelines

  • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
  • Length of paper: Actual length will be based on assessing what information is necessary and what is extraneous.  You will need to determine what you need to communicate without adding “fluff” and assuring all identified elements from the instructions are addressed where and when applicable.

Part 1.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Discuss the following visual aids and the benefits and challenges they might present in an oral presentation. Also note which types of speaking situations for which they might be most appropriate and discuss why.

Poster Board – Discuss limitations and whether or not this visual aid meets professional expectations. What type of presenters might use this form of visual aid?

Video – Discuss the importance of length and problems you might anticipate before using this visual component of a presentation. What type of presenters might use this form of visual aid?

PowerPoint – Discuss strategies to avoid distractions within the PowerPoint (ex: can some transitions be more distracting than helpful?). What are the expectations regarding font, number of slides, length of content (ex: Should paragraphs of content be included? Why or why not?)? What type of presenters might use this form of visual aid?

Part 2.

Reply to the following thread in a minimum of 100 words:

“Each aid will certainly present a number of advantages and disadvantages. It is these differences that make each more or less effective depending on the presentation you will be giving. A poster board for example, provides you some creative expression and the ability to present a group of ideas that are related to a single topic. You are limited in the size of the group and the number of ideas. This is suitable for a professional setting, when giving presentations for new ideas or programs. A video is only as effective as its ability to deliver a message and keep the groups attention. If the video is too long or too boring, you may loose your audiences attention. A short and sweet video that has some creative expression should minimize this. When using a power point, you have the advantage of using multiple slides, video content, text, and even pictures to present an idea. This is the most diverse platform for creating presentations. This is its greatest asset as well as its greatest flaw. Making your presentation overly cluttered or having moving gifs next to text can make it difficult to follow.” – Kathlene G.

Part 3.

Respond to the following post in a minimum of 100 words:

“Visual aids is an great asset during a speech one they help you to stay focus, helps to get your point across, and also helps with time consumption and most importantly they makes the speech exciting more like less boring. When using a visual aid you would want to make sure that it enhance your presentation. Make sure that the ideas are understandable and clear. They also help the audience remember after the speech is over. Visuals aids can also make your presentation more credible and also helps with language barriers. Now I will explain the three types of visual aids that we studied this week.

Poster Boards: Can be small, big and different colors but its all about what we put on them that makes them stand out. We would want to make sure that the letters are bold and clear and if we have multiple boards make sure that they are in order or numbered we don’t want to get lost in the poster boards. Most of the time poster boards are used in the classroom but some still used them in the office when dealing with a small group of people.

Video: When using video you want to make sure that the clips are at the right place where you want it to be because if you start a video and it has something that is not related to the message then you have lost the audience at that moment. Videos can be good for your speech if played correctly if not then it would be a disaster. With video we must prepare ourselves numerous times because it could lead to either the speech being good or bad. We would want to make sure the video can play on the computer that we are using and all. Also make sure the video is not too long no more than ten minutes. You would want to use a video when you want to get a point across like showing how someone using a product for a couple of months and the outcome.

Powerpoints: When using powerpoints we want to make sure that our presentations are not boring. We should use pictures, audio and audio when using powerpoint. You would want to customize slides to what you are speaking on or presenting. You would want to make sure that the font is the same size unless it is a title, that way to keep the audience from getting lost. Make it short and to the point try not to use to much animation because that would have the audience lost also. When presenting a powerpoint we should not add paragraphs because it tends to be boring to the listener and also it makes the presentation longer.” – Sheba M.

Discuss the strategies the speaker used to begin and end the speech. Use the concepts from your readings to describe what the speaker did with his or her time and words.

This week, your discussion is about the elements that hold a speech together, as well as how counterarguments play a role in each presentation that you present. No matter what the specific content of the speech, and no matter how the context in which you speak constrains how you express your ideas, you need to be able to catch your audience’s attention when you begin the speech, you need to hold that attention during the speech as you lead your audience through the steps of your reasoning, and you need to move your audience toward the conclusions you’re asking them to draw just before you disengage with them and end the speech.

For this discussion, find good speech online and watch it, preferably more than once. The speech may be delivered by a professional speaker or a novice, but it must be delivered to a live audience, and it must not have been edited–in short, it must be an actual speech, rather than a produced video.  You may want to find a site like Americanrhetoric.com or TED.com for good examples.

1. In your initial post:

  • Provide a link to the speech and a citation for it.
  • Discuss the strategies the speaker used to begin and end the speech. Use the concepts from your readings to describe what the speaker did with his or her time and words. Cite every outside source you use, including your readings.
  • Identify the main points of the speech and explain how you recognized them.  How did the speaker show the relationship between one point and the next as he or she moved between them?
  • Identify three legitimate counterarguments, critiques, or questions that an audience might pose in opposition to the speech that you watched. Briefly explain how the speaker might respond to each counterargument.
