为什么连锁餐厅生意难做

November 6, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Red Lobster 于 5 月份申请破产。TGI Fridays 在 10 月份突然关闭，然后在 11 月初关闭。Hooters 在 6 月份关闭，而 Buca di Beppo 在 8 月份关闭。即使是经济型餐厅 Denny's 也在 10 月份表示将在未来两年内关闭，理由是“经济形势动荡”以及食品在外用餐通货膨胀速度快。连锁餐厅可能是典型的美国企业，从二战后霍华德·约翰逊的扩张开始，当时家庭开始开车旅行。但经济正在挑战这种商业模式。尽管通货膨胀正在放缓，但注重成本的消费者在家或在更低成本的快餐店用餐更多，根据消费者洞察公司 Circana 的数据库 CREST，快餐店的平均消费为 7.92 美元，大约是连锁餐厅的一半。许多连锁餐厅（或全服务餐厅）在进入经济低迷时期时负债累累，现在正在努力维持运营。 “许多这些公司发现他们的销售额并没有像预期那样强劲，”北岸研究公司餐厅行业分析师吉姆·桑德森说。根据 CREST，2024 年第三季度，全服务餐厅的客流量比去年同期下降了 3%，比 2019 年同期下降了 17%。桑德森表示，问题的一部分是劳动力成本持续增长，但对通货膨胀感到疲惫的消费者不愿为餐厅食物支付更多费用。今年接受美国国家餐厅协会调查的几乎所有餐厅老板都表示，更高的劳动力成本是他们业务的“主要挑战”。餐厅过去花费营业额的 30% 到 35% 用于劳动力。现在许多餐厅花费 40% 到 45%，据 Maverick Theory 酒店集团的联合创始人说。另一个问题是，这些餐厅中的许多现在归私人股本集团所有，这些集团为收购借了大量资金，但没有看到他们需要的现金流来盈亏平衡。TGI Fridays、Red Lobster、Applebee's 和 P.F. Chang's 在过去十年中都被私人股本集团收购。根据行业研究公司 Technomic 的数据，TGI Fridays 的餐厅数量比 2019 年减少了 58%，Hooters 减少了 23%。 “如果你把餐厅利润率受到压力与不稳定的财务状况结合起来，你只需要一两件事出错，”美国银行餐厅高级分析师莎拉·塞纳托雷说。连锁餐厅曾经是相当稳定的企业，因此私人股本所有者对成本和销售额有一个很好的了解，她说，但疫情让业务变得更加波动。分析师表示，一些餐厅正在试图通过提供大幅折扣的餐点或无限量供应的套餐来赚回生意，但这只会进一步侵蚀他们的利润，Fransmart 特许经营开发集团的首席执行官兼创始人丹·罗伊说。“这是不可持续的，”他说。Red Lobster 在申请破产之前曾以著名的虾尾折扣闻名。分析师说，有一个成功案例：Chili's，由上市公司 Brinker International 所有，该公司在 2022 年迎来了新任首席执行官。该公司改变了菜单，删除了许多菜品，专注于一些主打菜品，包括汉堡、烤肉和玛格丽塔。该公司在社交媒体和广告方面做得更好，因此当顾客进入餐厅时，他们会对新改进的菜单感到惊喜。该公司还推出了“杠铃”策略，其中包括提供大幅优惠以吸引顾客，以及提供优质产品以鼓励他们花钱。Chili's 还对劳动力进行了再投资，确保餐厅人员配备齐全，这样客人就不会遇到长时间的等待时间。在最近一个季度，Chili's 的销售额增长了 14%。 “我们开始看到一些希望的曙光，”桑德森说，“一些餐厅发现有一种方法可以重新吸引顾客。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Sydney, Australia – November 06, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Honcho (https://honcho.com) has launched new artificial intelligence (AI) tools to simplify creating and launching business websites. This new suite of enhanced tools aims to make website building even more accessible to startup and small business owners who lack technical, creative, or marketing skills. “Our goal with these AI-enhanced tools is to remove the barriers many small business owners face when trying to establish an online presence – namely creative and technical skills,” said Matt Abrahams, CEO of Honcho. “With Honcho, users can easily create and launch a professional website in minutes without any prior experience.” AI streamlines the website creation process. Users can input minimal information, often just a business name and industry, and the AI will automatically generate a customized website complete with text, images, and optimized design elements. “Most small business owners just want a fully functioning website up and running … and fast,” added Abrahams. “Using our platform, business owners can begin marketing their business, and in turn, start adding to their bottom line, much faster.” Honcho is a well-established Australian business service with over 800,000 clients and has been operating in the website-building space for some time. The prototype version of the newly launched site has been in stealth mode in Australia for two years while the company perfected its operations. While the company will not provide numbers, it is understood thousands of clients have successfully used Honcho’s website-building services to date. A minimum viable product aptly named ‘Instant Website’ was launched first on Sept. 18, 2022, prior to AI becoming the hot commodity it is today. Version 2 of Instant Website, incorporating a range of new features, including business and domain name generators, automatic AI text generation and free photo library services, was released in February of 2024. Honcho launched its latest version with a completely new design interface and built for the global market on its premium Honcho.com site in September 2024. The company has big plans for the future with more features featuring AI soon to be launched, Abrahams noted. “We are not an AI company.

女性总统意味着什么

November 5, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - 我的祖母以前住在纽约州北部的一栋全棕色房子里。客厅是棕色的，浴室是棕色的，卧室是棕色的。它是棕色的，因为我祖父决定了事情，而且棕色油漆正在打折。我的祖母记得在 1950 年代戴着手套去银行开支票，并且被问到她是否已婚才能访问账户。即使银行账户里的钱是她的。现在她 90 岁了，她的房子是各种青柠绿和橘子色，她写了大量的支票。但当我最近打电话问她是否认为她有生之年会看到一位女总统时，她在回答之前停顿了一下：“没有。” 我的祖母出生于妇女获得投票权后大约 10 年。她的一生跨越了洗衣机的普及、避孕药的发明、性革命以及妇女进入职场。现在，她可能活得足够长，能够见证一位女性当选为美国总统。随着 2024 年大选日的到来，卡玛拉·哈里斯正处于历史的关口。民调显示，副总统和唐纳德·特朗普在七个关键战场州之间的竞赛或多或少势均力敌。任何一位候选人都可能获胜。但在竞选的最后几个小时，哈里斯的竞选团队已经开始相信她占有优势。对于民主党人来说，尤其是那些在 2016 年试图选出希拉里·克林顿作为第一位女总统并失败的人来说，这是一个令人既害怕又乐观的时刻，哈里斯的支持者在欣喜若狂的希望与彻头彻尾的恐惧之间摇摆不定，具体取决于当天的时间和最新民调的倾向。在最后的几个小时里，我交谈过的许多女性都陷入了某种情绪上的防御性蹲姿：她们希望，但她们害怕去希望。 “这让我想要呕吐，”一位多年来一直努力选出民主党女性担任公职的人说。“我都要再哭一次了，是吗？”另一位在克林顿 2016 年竞选团队工作过的人说。哈里斯短暂竞选活动中最主要的讽刺之一是她几乎从未提到她将成为第一位当选为美国总统的女性。这远超出她竞选团队的宣传和战略范围，以至于有时看起来她似乎想完全避免强调她的性别。打破克林顿曾经称之为“最高、最坚硬的玻璃天花板”似乎是哈里斯竞选团队最不想谈论的事情。 “我想了很多关于 2016 年大选之夜的事情，以及那种感觉：哦，小女孩会看到她们永远不可能当总统，”阿曼达·利特曼说，她在推出帮助年轻人参选的“为某个东西而奔跑”之前，曾在克林顿竞选团队工作。“小男孩会看到他们可以像他那样行事，然后仍然当总统。” 利特曼回忆起她在 2016 年之后的想法，认为民主党人永远不会选出一位女总统，或者至少不会很快。“如果希拉里·克林顿都无法获胜——基本上是有史以来最杰出、最合格的总统候选人——我们在什么情况下还有机会？”她说。“因为人们会把她的失败归咎于她的性别，而且他们确实这么做了。” 但自从 2016 年以来，很多事情都发生了变化。克林顿的失败——以及特朗普的胜利——为美国女性开启了新时代。她们走上街头，组建了抵抗组织。她们帮助在 2018 年选出了创纪录数量的女性进入国会。她们通过 #MeToo 运动迫使社会对性与权力进行反思。她们制作了价值数十亿美元的电影，并发起了支撑小型经济的流行音乐巡演。她们在多布斯案中失去了堕胎权，然后组织了一次力量展示，帮助民主党自那以后在大选中表现出色。哈里斯处于历史的边缘，很大程度上是因为大批女性将她推到了那里。 “现在选举一位女性的意义比 2016 年还要大，”珍娜·洛温斯坦说，她在那次竞选中担任克林顿的数字主管。“在多布斯案之后，有更多的事情岌岌可危，而且特朗普总统任期的现实令人记忆深刻。” 对于那些一生都在努力让其他女性当选公职的民主党女性来说，哈里斯的胜利将是对曾经看似不可能的目标的最终证明。她们说，这不仅仅是哈里斯是女性，而是她提升了生殖自由、照护经济和孕产妇死亡率等问题，使之成为她经济愿景的核心。 “我们有一位女性在该领域领先，这不是偶然，”EMILYs List 发言人克里斯蒂娜·雷诺兹说，她指出哈里斯在担任参议员时专注于孕产妇死亡率，在担任副总统时专注于堕胎权。“她一直是将这些被视为‘女性问题’的东西视为影响我们整个生活方式的广泛经济问题的人。” 无论结果如何，哈里斯如此接近总统职位这一事实意味着美国已经发生了变化。“门打开了，”我的祖母坐在伊利诺伊州郊区的家中，坐在她那印着波尔卡圆点的沙发上，在她的泡泡糖粉色客厅里，周围环绕着女性艺术家创作的民间绘画，她对我说。“它永远不会再关上。永远不会。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

November 5, 2024

Toyota City, Japan, Nov 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing completed a thrilling fightback to overcome challenges and retain its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title when the 2024 season came to a dramatic conclusion in the 8 Hours of Bahrain.Starting from one-two on the grid, and knowing a win would secure the manufacturers’ title, each car led at different points, but the team entered the final stages of the race with only one car on track, down in 10th place after suffering setbacks.An incredible team effort and a dominant driving display saw Sébastien Buemi cut through the field to win the race in the #8 GR010 HYBRID he shares with Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, securing the team’s sixth successive manufacturers’ World Championship, by six points from Porsche.The #7 GR010 HYBRID had victory in its sights when it led at half distance, but a fuel pump issue forced Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries into retirement. That ended the slim drivers’ title hopes of Kamui and Nyck, who needed a win to have any chance.The chequered flag in Bahrain concluded a 2024 season which featured 72 hours of racing, at eight rounds on four continents over almost 10 months. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s season record stands at five podiums, including three wins, and two pole positions, earning 190 World Championship points. After an exciting year, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing congratulates new drivers’ World Champions Kévin Estre, Andre Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor, and thanks all WEC competitors for their contribution to a memorable season.A dramatic and challenging race had started strongly for the team when Sébastien led away from pole. But after 18 minutes its hopes suffered a blow when Sébastien was hit from behind by a GT car and spun down to seventh. He recovered to fifth before Brendon took over late in the second hour.Brendon and Ryo then battled against tyre degradation on their stints but made a determined effort to keep the #8 in the top six and still in the hunt. The race turned on two safety car periods early in the second half of the race, which closed the gaps throughout the 18-strong Hypercar field.When racing resumed with just over an hour remaining, Sébastien was 10th but only 15secs from the lead, and he began an incredible fight back to revive the team’s World Championship dream. A heroic charge through the field saw him overtake several rivals to move into second after his final pit stop.With just over half an hour of the season remaining Sébastien completed a remarkable comeback drive by passing the #5 Porsche for the lead. He soon established a comfortable advantage and reached the chequered flag to win by 27.539secs for the #8 GR010 HYBRID’s second win of the season, and the team’s 10th in Bahrain.For much of the race, the #7 car had looked the most likely GR010 HYBRID to challenge for victory. Mike moved up from fourth at the end of the first lap to be in the top three when Kamui took the wheel for what would be a dramatic stint. As the sun set in the fourth hour, Kamui’s bold overtaking elevated him to second.However, the #7 was hit by a fuel pump issue which intermittently reduced performance. Drivers, engineers and mechanics looked for a solution and, initially, appeared to have succeeded when Kamui closed the gap and Nyck took the lead via a fast pit stop. But the trouble returned and the #7 slipped down the field.Considering the problem would require a lengthy repair, the team prioritised victory and the championship. It decided to retire the #7 with just over two hours to go, in order to allow its crew members to support the #8 car’s challenge, expressing their solidarity and ensuring today’s title triumph was a genuine team effort.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“First of all, a big thank you for all the support we have had this season from all over the world. Winning the manufacturers’ World Championship is a great achievement and it’s the result of a huge team effort from everyone, including our Toyota colleagues and our partners, who are a big part of this success. This is the result everyone in the team wanted and they gave everything to achieve it, so thank you for all that work. Car #8 deserved the win today after an incredible race. Obviously on our car we had some issues and had to retire. We will analyse that and aim to come back even stronger next season.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“It was obviously a disappointing outcome for our car. We were very strong at some points and looking good to win, then we ran into the issue which unfortunately took us out of the race. But at least car #8 won and that means we achieved our target of winning the manufacturers’ World Championship. I am very happy for the team and for Toyota, and I’m also pleased for car #8 to win the race with such a strong drive at the end. We’ll all enjoy this moment.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s great to end the season on a high for the team by winning the manufacturers’ World Championship with an amazing victory for car #8. Obviously, it’s bittersweet for our car to see our title rivals not score any points, considering we were in a winning position. Without the technical issue we had the chance to win both championships but that’s part of the game and we have to take it on the chin. Overall, I am just so happy for the team to get their reward today because they really deserve it after an eventful and challenging season.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“It’s crazy to think we won the race considering how it was going at some point. Against all the odds, with issues, penalties and bad luck it’s an amazing feeling for the team to win the World Championship. That was our target here and we’ve achieved it thanks to a brilliant effort from the team. When our car was down in 10th, we were going to the back of the Hypercar field during the pit stops and I thought we were done. But my team-mates did a good job hanging on with the old tyres and that meant I had a tyre advantage at the end. When it mattered today, we did a good job together and I am so pleased for the whole team.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“I am so happy for everyone in the team and at Toyota. The race didn’t go as smoothly at the beginning as it could have done. We tried the medium tyres, but it didn’t work. Then at the end Séb did an unbelievable stint. He was the star; it was an incredible drive. Thanks to everyone in the team, at Toyota and all our partners. We really had to fight for this win and championship, so it means a lot. For our car to end the season with a victory is fantastic going into the winter break.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“What a day. It was an up and down race, but we never gave up and we fought as one team. We started from pole, then got hit by a GT car but still tried our best and put everything behind Séb for a maximum push at the end.

With interest rate cuts taking effect, CWT hopes to take advantage of the favorable macro trend

November 5, 2024

HONG KONG, Nov 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In recent weeks, both the Hong Kong and A-shares markets have experienced significant volatility. Following the U.S. Federal Reserve's larger-than-expected interest rate cut on September 19, the markets saw a strong rebound. On September 27, the People's Bank of China announced its largest economic stimulus plan since 2020, which included rate cuts, counter-cyclical monetary policy adjustments, greater-than-expected funding support, the creation of new monetary policy tools to stabilize the stock market, and the injection of approximately 1 trillion yuan (approximately US$141.82 billion) of long-term liquidity into the financial markets. These comprehensive supportive policies further boosted market enthusiasm. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong peaked at 23,241.74, while the A-shares market gapped up after the National Day holiday, reaching a high of 3,674.40. Both markets saw significant increases in trading volumes, indicating strong market interest.Market data shows that foreign capital inflows have been another driving force behind Hong Kong’s stock market. According to market data, since September, overseas funds have turned into net inflows for the Hong Kong stock market. From mid-September onwards, net inflows from international intermediaries reached HKD 39.6 billion, surpassing the HKD 20.5 billion in net inflows from Mainland China into Hong Kong.Following a sharp short-term rise in Chinese assets, there has been some market correction as investor sentiment cools and profit-taking ensues. However, from a long-term perspective, this correction is necessary. Rather than a speculative bull market, a more structured and gradual rally is healthier for the market and helps investors generate sustainable returns. Over a longer time horizon, the Hong Kong stock market has been undervalued in the past, combined with the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve's subsequent interest rate cuts and a more comprehensive market turnaround driven by multiple favorable policies. The signals indicating a bottoming out of the Chinese economy are gradually becoming clearer, and the economic fundamentals are improving step by step, suggesting that there is still significant room for growth in the Hong Kong stock market. At the same time, the growth of China's economy has led to an increased demand for commodities and logistics services. In the Hong Kong stock market, there is a company that has been continuously focused on commodities and logistics services.CWT International Limited ("CWT INT'L", 0521.HK, the "Company" together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) is a public limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The controlling shareholder of the Group is HNA Trust Management Co., Ltd, and the resource endowment of shareholders is a major competitive advantage of the Group. In the first half of 2024, CWT had revenue of 20.276 billion HKD, an increase of 27% from previous year, and a net profit of 121 million HKD.The Group operates its business through four major segments. The logistics services segment is engaged in the provision of services including warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. The commodity marketing segment is engaged in physical trading and supply chain management of metals and minerals, mainly non-ferrous base metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc, as well as energy products. The financial services segment is engaged in the provision of financial brokerage services, and asset management services. The engineering services segment provides engineering maintenance for facilities, vehicles and equipment fleet, and design-and-build solutions for logistics properties. The Group's two major businesses segments: logistics services and commodity marketing, constitute the Group's main source of revenue and profit. The Group continues to promote synergy among all segments, to optimize operating processes and improve supply chain efficiency.CWT originates in Singapore and remains as one of the largest warehousing and logistics service providers in Singapore. The Group continues to explore business opportunities in Greater China and Southeast Asia countries through many routes, such as establishing strategic cooperation and joint venture with local business partners. Since the initiation of the strategic cooperation with Hainan Yangpu Holding Investment in April 2024, the Group has facilitated a number of visiting delegations and exchange activities among the Group, business and industrial experts from Singapore, and local organizations in Hainan, in order to evaluate potential investment and business development opportunities in Hainan Free Trade Port. Meanwhile, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, in May 2024, the Group signed a memorandum of understanding with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the global commodities warehousing company Access World Group, in order to extend further collaboration in the area of commodity marketing and logistics.As the Group’s footprint in Greater China and Southeast Asia continues to deepen, its relentless focus is to learn from its experience and copy the success in Singapore and other global regions, to contribute to the economic growth and sustainable development in the regions that it operates, and to create more value for the Shareholders. Looking forward, in addition to operating the business with caution, the Group will promote deeper internal synergy, continue to expand its global commercial network, and seize further growth opportunities in Greater China and other regions to maximize the shareholders’ interests and earn a brighter future.

Contracts for nine large frame gas turbine units were concluded in the first half, with the largest YoY growth seen in the Americas. Revenue increased by ¥71.2 billion YoY mainly from large volume in Aero Engines and steady project execution in GTCC and Nuclear Power. Margin improvements in GTCC and Steam Power, together with higher revenue and a rebound from 1H FY2023 one-time expenses in Aero Engines, as well as stable performance in Nuclear Power served to increase segment business profit by ¥61.5 billion YoY.In P&I, order intake was up ¥176.6 billion YoY due to strength in Metals Machinery, Machinery Systems, and Waste-to-Energy Systems. Revenue grew by ¥12.1 billion as Metals Machinery continued to work through its extensive backlog. Margin improvements in Engineering and Machinery Systems, combined with increased revenue in Metals Machinery helped to raise segment business profit by ¥12.0 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue was down ¥0.5 billion YoY due to fewer unit deliveries in Logistics Systems. This issue, combined with additional costs caused by supply chain disruption in Turbochargers resulted in a ¥9.7 billion decline in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥197.2 billion YoY in response to extremely large orders volume in 1H FY2023 in Defense & Space. Revenue was up ¥112.7 billion YoY mainly due to growth in Aircraft & Missile Systems in Defense & Space. Higher unit deliveries and positive impact from the depreciation of the yen in Commercial Aircraft also served to increase revenue. The factors affecting revenue also served to raise segment business profit by ¥16.5 billion YoY. FY2024 Earnings ForecastMHI revised its guidance for the period ending March 31, 2025, increasing the target for order intake by ¥200 billion over the previous announcement made August 6, 2024. This was in response to steady progress mainly in Energy. Totals for all other financial indicators remained unchanged, while business profit targets for Energy, P&I, and LT&D were updated.(billion yen, except where otherwise stated)FY2024 Earnings ForecastFY2023ActualFY2024Forecast(Previous)FY2024Forecast(Revised)Revised vs.PreviousOrder Intake6,684.05,800.06,000.0+200.0Revenue4,657.14,900.04,900.0-Profit from Business ActivitiesProfit Margin282.56.1%350.07.1%350.07.1%--Profit Attributable to Owners of ParentProfit Margin222.04.8%230.04.7%230.04.7%--ROE11.1%10%10%-EBITDAEBITDA Margin432.69.3%500.010.2%500.010.2%--FCF200.1-100.0-100.0-Dividends20 yen(Note)22 yen22 yen-FY2023 Actual dividends (¥200/share) shown here adjusted retroactively to 1/10 of original value to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2024.

Kozawa continued, "In terms of order intake, GTCC and Aero Engines in Energy, and Metals Machinery in P&I were stand-outs, enabling YoY orders growth despite the extremely high level achieved during the same period last year in Defense & Space. Revenue was up mainly in Energy and ADS as these segments steadily executed on their large order backlogs. These revenue increases, combined with margin improvements and depreciation of the yen helped us to greatly increase progress toward our business profit guidance of ¥350 billion.""Based on our results through September of this year, especially in Energy, we have increased our full-year order intake guidance by ¥200 billion," Kozawa went on. "We have also updated the business profit forecast for three of our segments in order to reflect the faster progress seen in Energy and P&I, and the slightly lagging performance in LT&D. All other targets have been restated. Looking forward to the remaining two quarters, we aim to outperform current business profit guidance by continuing the strong trends from the first half while effectively controlling one-time expenses."Attachment 1: 1H FY2024 Financial ResultsFinancial Results (444 KB)Attachment 2: Presentation Materials of Financial ResultsPresentation Materials (888 KB)Downloadable PDF of this press releasePress Release (168 KB) Note regarding forward looking statements:Forecasts regarding future performance outlined in these materials are based on judgments made in accordance with information available at the time they were prepared.
