In the case of Benihana restaurant, the surroundings, music, location and even the people have a massive impact on the image that the restaurant wants to portray. Big food chains use bright colors, loud music, and quick food service to get the desired results while other places prefer a different client base.
Benihana restaurant is a relatively traditional Japanese restaurant which is one of its kind. The restaurant is located at the side of a quiet little street in Anaheim with a small entrance that you may not notice if you don't know where you're headed. The entry is a traditional Japanese wooden door. The entire theme of the restaurant is rooted in Japanese culture. Upon entering the restaurant, the customers are greeted by a waitress dressed in a Kimono.
The restaurant is quaint, with just a few tables and dim lighting. It has no more than eighth tables, working well with the intimate environment of the restaurant. Classical Japanese music, also referred to as shōmyō plays slowly in the background as the customers take their seats. Despite the vast cultural differences, the place has a very homely feel. The restaurant has a sweet smell in the air. All the staff greets customers with huge smiles on their face making it a very welcoming environment. Each table is surrounded by wooden chairs; some are surrounded by two to accommodate couples, some with four and some with six to cater to slightly large groups. The wooden tables and chairs give a more rustic feel to the restaurant and work well with the design of the place.
At the back of the restaurant, there is a small window through which you can see the workings of the kitchen. It's a modest, but well-equipped kitchen with the staff dressed in white coats and chefs' hats. Here, you can see your order being freshly prepared. A soft bell is heard, and the waitress rushes to the window to receive the order.
On the other end of the restaurant, there is a fascinating sight, a line of benches, shaped into a square with a marbled table like surface in front of it. A man is standing in the middle in chefs clothing holding a spatula with a black hot plate in front of him. Here, he is surrounded by a group of people. If nothing else, this is enough to spark one's curiosity. Taking a closer look, it can be seen that the man is tossing vegetables and different kinds of meat onto the hot plate, using tricks to entertain the customers but with extreme precision. He flings the cooked food onto the customer's plates as they start eating.
On the outside, the restaurant seems like a modest one but looking at the clientele, it is apparent that first impressions can be wrong. The tables are filled with men in expensive suits discussing their day to day business. They sit at their tables sitting overprices sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine. The exclusivity of the place becomes apparent when a small bar is spotted. The bar is stocked with spirits that value at hundreds of .

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

1. Emma 6/07/11 Photos: U.S. Retail Stores & Restaurants ULTA Sephora Panera Chipotle Lululemon Urban Outfitters Anthropologie
2. ULTA Newport Beach, CA Offers: Beauty products, salon, makeup, skincare, cosmetics, fragrances Main customer base: Women (young and middle-aged) who desire convenience, wide variety, and relatively good prices, middle- to upper-middle class Typical location: Outdoor shopping centers, suburbia
3. Located in an outdoor shopping center in a relatively affluent neighborhood near the beach ULTA Surrounded by small restaurants and a grocery store ULTA stores are typically located in these outdoor shopping areas; I’ve never seen one in an enclosed mall
4. Huge selection of products ULTA … and huge store (probably a little smaller than half of our office space)
5. One of the many makeup aisles ULTA Selection is comparable to Sephora’s but more varied in price range, offers both low- and high-end brands
6. Lots of different fragrances ULTA … most are relatively high-end (typically sold in department stores)
8. Organized by brand and product type ULTA Selection is organized by brand and product type (i.e. cosmetics, skincare, fragrance) Offers a wide selection of low- and high-end brands
9. Relatively quiet and empty ULTA Not very crowded on a Tuesday late afternoon (around 6 PM) Spotted about 4-5 employees and about 3-4 customers besides myself No one asked me if I needed any assistance, nor did I see any workers helping the other customers
10. Sephora (competitor to ULTA) South Coast Plaza Costa Mesa, CA Offers: Beauty products, makeup, skincare, cosmetics, fragrances Main customer base: Women (mainly young adults, some middle-aged), middle- to upper-middle classes Typical location: Enclosed malls, downtown shopping centers
11. Offers a variety of higher-end brands Sephora Huge selection of higher-end makeup (including limited edition tokidoki and Hello Kitty products) Don’t expect to find great deals here; the main appeal of Sephora is the store’s “glamour” (many people call it a candy store for women)
12. Keeping things fun and personal with technology Sephora Computerized system offering a 30-second quiz to help customers choose “the perfect fragrance”
13. Beauty Studio with professionals on call to assist customers in makeup application and selection Sephora Beauty Studio with makeup artists to assist customers in selecting a skincare/makeup regimen by testing out different products. The stations are well-lit and the entire store feels very glamorous and exciting. Loud music blares on the speakers as customers shop.
14. Professionals seem to be very intentional with customers Sephora This in-store makeup artist assisted my friend for about 20-30 minutes in choosing a foundation, teaching her makeup techniques, and applying her makeup She also gave my friend some free makeup samples and, according to my friend, was very honest and “did not pressure her into buying anything” In the end, my friend was so pleased with the experience that she spent $135 on makeup products
15. Panera Bread Tustin, CA Casual dining: Order at the counter, get a number and a server will bring your food to you Cuisine: American (sandwiches, salad, soup) Main customer base: Young women (20’s-30’s), young families, usually middle- to upper-middle class Offers: Breakfast/brunch, lunch, and dinner, pastries (bagels, bread, cake, cookies), coffee/tea/other beverages Typical location: Outdoor shopping centers, suburbia
16. “ You Pick Two” meals Panera Choose two of the following: soup, salad, sandwich (all half portions) Extra charge (about $1.50) for “café signature” items All Panera menu items vary by location but the meal averages about $8.00 incl. tax
17. Typical meal Panera “ You Pick Two” ½ chicken panini (grilled sandwich) and Greek salad Comes with a side of french bread (white or wheat), apple, or bag of chips Ideal portion for a woman; but maybe not enough to completely fill an American male adult Common “date spot” for women
18. Study lounge environment Panera Tables, booths, and small couches for optimal studying, reading, and/or chatting Soft music plays in the background Almost as full capacity during lunch hour on a Saturday afternoon; mostly a young adult crowd (ages 20’s-30’s) and families with young children Free wifi offered at all locations, but typically closes early (around 9 PM)
19. You can do take-out, too Panera Panera also offers take-out for all their items, but it doesn’t seem like many people choose that option. It seems like people like to go to Panera for the atmosphere (i.e. to study, to chat with a friend, etc.) or when they are craving something on the lighter, “healthier” side (i.e. not hamburgers or pasta). They also offer unlimited refills on their coffees ($1.75 + tax); it seems like many people like to order to cup to drink while they study/read.
20. Chipotle Irvine Spectrum Center Irvine, CA Casual, “assembly line” fast food-style chain: Direct your order as employees assemble your meal for you according to your preferences, pay at the cashier Cuisine: Americanized Mexican fast food Main customer base: Generally younger crowd (i.e. students) Offers: Lunch and dinner (same menu all day), some alcohol Typical location: Outdoor shopping centers, college towns
21. Features a very simple menu and an assembly line-style service (can watch people make your order) Chipotle
22. All items are made to order; service is very quick and efficient and the overall atmosphere feels clean Chipotle
23. Very good business during prime time hours (lunch and dinner); otherwise fairly slow in the afternoons Chipotle This particular photo is a shot taken of a Chipotle located in a popular shopping center in Irvine, CA, on a weekday mid-afternoon, after lunch hours. There are many residential areas and businesses surrounding this shopping center. I ate here on a Wednesday at 12:30 P.M. and there were already about 20 people in line in front of me; many of them were employees and business people from nearby businesses. It was hard to find a spot to sit although many people do opt to get Chipotle to go. In this sense, Chipotle is very much a fast food restaurant, though many people I have spoken to prefer it over traditional fast food chains such as KFC, McDonald’s, or Taco Bell.
24. Lululemon Athletica inc. Irvine, CA Costa Mesa, CA Attire: Fitness-wear and accessories for men and women Specialty: Fashionable, functional, high-quality fitness-wear Target customer: Fitness lovers, middle, upper-middle and high classes Typical locations: Indoor and outdoor shopping centers in higher class neighborhoods
28. Every store has a men’s section, which seems to have an overall smaller selection Lululemon I did not see any male shoppers at any of the three store locations I visited. It seems like most of their customers are still women.
29. On a national holiday (Memorial Day) afternoon, the store had about 4-5 shoppers and 3-4 employees Lululemon
30. Irvine location, inside a popular outdoor shopping center (Irvine Spectrum Center) Lululemon
31. Creative window display featuring mainly women’s attire and yoga mats, waterbottles, bags, and fitness/life/health-related mantras Lululemon
32. Store has a board featuring yoga and pilates classes for the month and an array of fitness-related accessories, including aluminum waterbottles and caps Lululemon
33. Store is divided into women’s and men’s sections and arranged according to style, color, and size Lululemon
35. This location was fairly quiet on a weekday afternoon as well, with about 3-4 shoppers and the same number of employees Lululemon However, the brand itself is very popular among upper-middle class women. On one occasion, my mom, a frequent gym-goer, accompanied me on my visit. She was very curious to look at the store because, according to her, “Every woman I see at the gym is wearing this brand!”
36. Urban Outfitters Irvine Spectrum Center Irvine, CA Selection: Casual and semi-formal attire for younger crowds, home furnishings Specialty: Fashionable, trendy, “hipster”/vintage-style clothing and accessories Target customer: Trendy dressers Typical locations: Indoor and outdoor shopping centers, downtown districts
37. Stores feature a creative, aesthetic window display Urban Outfitters The store hires designers to create and produce these displays and generate overall in-store atmosphere. Window displays are changed periodically.
38. Store exudes a casual, artistic, warehouse-like feel; indie-rock music plays in the background Urban Outfitters
42. Anthropologie Irvine Spectrum Center Irvine, CA Selection: Contemporary attire for women, home furnishings Specialty: Fashionable, “classic” feminine pieces Target customer: Upper-middle to upper class women Typical locations: Indoor and outdoor shopping centers, downtown districts
43. In-store décor and displays changed periodically according to seasons and trends Anthropologie
44. Majority of the store dedicated solely to women’s clothing Anthropologie
