The U.S. Restaurant Industry2
Profile
For the year 2012, the National Restaurant Association
projected total U.S. restaurant sales of $631.8 billion
(compared to $379 billion in 2000 and $239.3 in 1990),
which represented nearly 4 percent of the gross domestic
product. There were 970,000 restaurant locations, and
the industry employed 12.9 million people (10 percent
of油 the total workforce). The restaurant industrys share
of the food dollar was 48 percent in 2012 compared to 25
percent in 1955.3
The restaurant industry consisted of a number of seg-
ments such as eating places, bars and taverns and lodging
place restaurants. The three largest segments were full ser-
vice, quick service and fast casual. Full service restaurants
offered table ordering, and the average check (revenue per
customer) was the highest of the three segments. While
national chains such as Darden Restaurants (operator of
Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse)
and Dine Equity (IHOP and Applebees) existed in this
segment, the majority of operators were individuals,
families or limited partnerships. This segment accounted
for 31.7 percent of industry revenues in 2011.
The quick service segment (previously referred to

SWOT Analysis
Most of the people have a high taste for ice cream, which is the reason as to why a business idea of opening a gelato shop is a great one. However, due to the fact that this may not necessarily be the only gelato shop in Las Vegas, it is essential to carry out SWOT analysis for the explanation and identification of the different factors that may affect the operations of the gelato shop. The SWOT analysis will involve the identification of the strengths of the business, the weaknesses, the opportunities as well as the threats that could negatively affect the gelato shop.
Strengths
One of the strengths of this proposed gelato is the ability to provide unique flavors, which means that it will be easy to attract new customers. Ability to devise and introduce new flavors in the market can be helpful in attracting new buyers, due to the fact that people may tend to change their taste and preference by trying a new product. This will mean that more customers and buyers will be attracted. Additionally, the geographical location of the gelato shop is suitable due to the availability of ready market. Rationale for this assertion in the Las Vegas the population is high, a clear indication of the market and the locality of the shop in an airstrip will mean more consumers and customers (Sousa, Antonialli, Pereira, Ribeiro, Pires, Moreira & Pereira, 2019). Moreover, this gelato will have little fat content which means that it will be healthier when compared with other related products.
Weaknesses
One of the identifiable weaknesses is the lack of skills and the experience in the management if gelato shop, which means that difficulties may be experienced in the process of management. Another challenge is that introduction of gelato as a new product needs the educating of consumers, implying that people tend to be reluctant in trying new products. The other weakness is that vendors supplying the ingredients may tend to be unreliable or even hike prices anytime, which may be an extra cost incurred. As well in the event of delays by the suppliers of the ingredients, inconveniences may result into the losing of customers.
Opportunities
The most notable opportunity of the gelato is ability to provide unique product, that is free from nuts which is completely new into the market. For the purposes of increasing the sales, prepackaging will be done which will enable the portability of the gelato different places such as home or even to offices. The ingredient used for the gelato that is chocolate is preferred for health benefits creates new opportunities for the gelato. Additional opportunity is that new geographical areas will provide a ready market. Basically, the greatest opportunity for this gelato shop is the unique nature of its product and the health consideration of the ice cream provided.
Threats
The gelato shop will face the threats of competition from the shops providing the same product or even related products such as stores of yoghurt.Fast casual top 100

SHERLOCK, WE LOVE YOU, ON THE SCREEN YOU WANT.Editions La Dondaine

The series was, in fact, too short. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote 62 stories of Sherlock Holmes published between 1887 and 1927. The 62 stories include 4 novels and 58 short stories starring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. (the Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia) This project was to transfer the stories to the modern world and that was needed for the cases to speak to a modern and young audience. To achieve this goal the BBC had to use special effects and complicated contraptions to make us believe we are dealing with miraculous cliffhanging solutions, but the producers were very careful to reveal the tricks in the next episodes.
Yet it uses some of the hallmark gadgets devised to dress Sherlock Holmes in his most traditional and famous suits, cap, and coats. That was for the older audience who had seen so many adaptations of Sherlock Holmes's stories. But that enabled the producers to give a vision of our society with all the evils of our modern times when we absolutely cannot trust anyone to keep their opinions and their promises longer than one hour, one day, or one week like Donald Trump changing his position on Ukraine as often as he changes socks. And in this world of betrayal and inconsistency, we can only pray to the devil to keep angels in line and help the blind god of ours to see beyond his total cataract.
