IntroductionThe term restaurant is an establishment where food is prepared and served to the people and always/almost refers to any sort of dine-in. Restaurants range from simple dining places where food is catered to people nearby or tourists for a reasonable price to expensive eat-outs serving food and wine in formal outfits depending on the local culture and tradition. Restaurants are classified based upon the range of menu, pricing and the mode of preparation. The changing trends in economy and income changed the purchasing power.

There are now more than 31000 restaurants in over 119 countries and revenue of US$ 24 billion (McDonalds, 2011 & Securities and Exchange Commission, 2011). McDonald’s is the biggest chain of restaurants in the world serving nearly fifty million customers per day (McDonalds, 2011).
