Selecting POS Systems for Table Service Restaurants

A point-of-sale system can enhance decision making, operational control, guest service, and revenues. However, not all POS systems offer the same features and potential for profit improvement.

Hotel Profit Implications from Rising Wages and Inflation in the U.S.

Macroeconomic models based on the Phillips Curve predict that as the unemployment rate declines toward the long-run, natural rate, the pace of wage and price growth accelerates and inflation rises.1 In this paper I analyze the profitability prospects for the U.S. hotel industry in today’s relatively volatile economic environment, keeping in mind the Phillips Curve’s general principle that inflation and employment have an inverse, but relatively stable short-term relationship. Although employment and economic growth in the U.S. have been uneven in recent months, the unemployment rate has declined to less than 5 percent, which many economists believe is close to the natural rate. Growth in wages and salaries, as measured by the Employment Cost Index, has concurrently been moving upward between 2.5 and 3.0 percent during the past 12 months. At the same time, general inflation remains below levels that might typically be expected this late in the cycle, although core inflation is bumping up against the Federal Reserve’s 2-percent target. If the inflation rate continues to move upward as predicted by Phillips Curve models (and encouraged by the Federal Reserve), rising labor costs and other expenses will exert downward pressure on U.S. business profits. Backward movement up the Phillips Curve (with greater inflation) coincides with an expanding economy. In that scenario, prices of goods and services also will rise in real terms if their supply cannot keep up with demand, and producers have the ability to raise prices (absent fixed-price contracts such as leases).

Desarrollo de un modelo de negocio para la empresa Agroindustrias Villalonso S.A.S. y su proyecto de reforestación comercial de caucho natural

El caucho natural y su proceso de transformación industrial es una cadena que presenta grandes potencialidades agroecológicas en el país, genera empleo rural productivo, construye capital y contribuye con el medio ambiente, razones que motivaron al autor a investigar los aspectos técnicos que el inversionista debe tener presente al momento de emprender un proyecto de reforestación comercial de caucho -- El caso de estudio se desarrolló para la microempresa Agroindustrias Villalonso, ubicada en la región heveícola del Magdalena Medio Santandereano, con el objetivo principal de analizar y abordar cada una de las etapas que constituyen un modelo de negocio, y proponerle a la microempresa, y demás interesados, cuáles son las mejores alternativas que deben desarrollarse para que un proyecto de este tipo tenga un resultado financiero positivo y por consiguiente un retorno favorable de la inversión -- La descripción y análisis de alternativas de todas las etapas que constituyen un modelo de negocio fueron desarrolladas con base en la metodología de Osterwalder & Pigneur, en el lienzo del modelo de negocio; esta metodología fue escogida como la más completa para este proyecto -- Del desarrollo de la investigación se evidenció que aunque el proyecto presenta características técnicas favorables, las condiciones macroeconómicas actuales, el entorno del mercado nacional y extranjero y los sistemas de explotación convencionales que elevan especialmente los costos en mano de obra, podrían poner en riesgo la viabilidad del mismo, a menos que la propuesta de valor se desarrolle a partir de los criterios y alternativas planteados en este trabajo
