<p>It shouldn&rsquo;t be too difficult to&nbsp;have your&nbsp;parent or&nbsp;mentor&nbsp;take you to Burger King or any other fast food restaurant.&nbsp; This time, however, plan enough time to include the following exercise:<br />As you drive up to Burger King, discuss the following&nbsp;with your parent/mentor:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Someone owns the company that makes the sign for Burger King.&nbsp; Can you imagine a factory filled with burger king signs?&nbsp; Maybe that&rsquo;s how Burger King knows that all the signs will be the same.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;After you order your food and have eaten, point out the following to your mentor:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;See the person behind the counter?&nbsp; She is an employee of Burger King.&nbsp; She gets paid so much per hour to show up and do that job.&nbsp; As long as she shows up when she is supposed to and does the job she is trained for, she will get paid.&nbsp; When she gets her paycheck, she will be paid only for the time she has physically been here working.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then point out </strong><strong>the</strong> other employees that you see?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then summarize</strong>:&nbsp; &ldquo;So it takes quite a few employees to make this burger king operate so it can serve its customers well.&rdquo;<br />Look around the restaurant and point out some of the following observations:</p>
<p>&ldquo;See the cups they use and the paper they wrap the hamburgers in?&nbsp; Those are made specifically for Burger King by other companies.&nbsp; Those companies have to make sure the cups and papers look exactly how Burger King ordered them, or they may not get paid for them.&nbsp; Someone, also an employee, probably at a corporate office for Burger King located somewhere else, is responsible for ordering those items and making sure they are delivered to each Burger King before they run out of their current supplies.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then point out</strong><strong> the</strong> other items you see that might be made for Burger King by other companies?&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then summarize</strong>: &ldquo;So it takes a lot of different companies with different areas of manufacturing expertise to supply products to Burger King to make sure it operates efficiently.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I notice that every Burger King is similar?&nbsp; The food is always the same.&nbsp; The employees are different but usually say the same things.&nbsp; The ketchup is always the same.&nbsp; The reason this happens is that Burger King has developed something called &lsquo;systems.&rsquo;&nbsp; Every store has policies and procedures that it must follow if it wants to continue being a Burger King.&nbsp; These policies and procedures describe the systems that must be followed.&nbsp; There is a system for how they fill or clean the milk shake machine or the French fry fryer.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then point out </strong><strong>the</strong><strong> </strong>other systems can you identify?<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Then summarize</strong>:&nbsp; &ldquo;The systems in place in this Burger King and every other Burger King in the world are what make it such a successful franchise.&nbsp; Wouldn&rsquo;t it be great to own these systems or help create systems for your own business that could be this successful?&rdquo;<br />Please answer the following question and post your comments to the community:</p>
