Recommendation Report!(:

To:         All people who are going in my limo group for prom
From:     Melissa Noble
Subject:  Where to eat for Prom?


      Asked by the peers attending my limo for prom, I have researched numerous restaurants in search for an appropriate place to dine for the special occasion. After researching menus, pricing, and quality of food, I have narrowed down the choices to 2 locations; Bucca Di Beppo and the Hard Rock Cafe. With everyone attending being able to subject to anything, I developed a criterion that will accommodate our needs:

1. Cost
2. Food
3. Appropriate to attire (non-messy foods)

RECOMMENDATION

      I recommend that we dine at Buca Di Beppo because its classy style and well managed restaurant fits perfectly with the classic prom style theme. In addition, the restaurant offers group sized plate menus that will cut the dinner price dramatically. The food is made to an excellent quality and tastes fresh. They also offer themed party rooms for groups that will add more memories to the prom experience.

DISCUSSION

COST

With 9 couples, totaling to 18 people, having to pay for prom, graduation, and upcoming college expense, the location must be able to give us more bang for our buck.

Buca Di Beppo

Buca offers group sized plates that will reduce the cost with as many people as we have.  A plate of spaghetti at normal price would cost $10 dollars but I group sized plate would only cost 10 dollars more and feeds up to 8 people.

Hard Rock Cafe

The cheapest plate at the Hard Rock would be a char-broiled hamburger at $13 dollars. It's a bit more expensive and they do not offer group sized plates.

Conclusion

Buca Di Beppo will feed our entire group for under 200 dollars and we would all each get more to eat and a wide variety whereas the Hard Rock, they only offer single plates and they cost a lot more to purchase. Buca will leave more money in our pockets and our stomachs satisfied.

FOOD

The food must be of quality and fit the tastes of the 18 people attending. The resturaunt must have a variety of dishes to accommodate everyone.

Buca Di Beppo

Buca offers mainly Italian food and most people in our group prefer Italian food. However, Buca does offer other items, such as hamburgers, to people who do not wish to eat Italian. In addition, Buca only uses top quality ingredients in there cooking and have top chefs from around the world prep the food.

Hard Rock Cafe

The Hard Rock offers the "all-American" foods such as steak, and chicken cordon bleu. The food is of good quality but does not offer an assortment of dishes that will satisfy everyone accordingly.

Conclusion

Buca Di Beppo will satisfy everyone's different tastes for food while also giving a home-style feeling.

APPROPRIATE FOR ATTIRE

Because everyone will be in elegant and expensive dresses, we need a location that is mess free and will not ruin the really expensive tuxedos and dresses if there was to be an accidental spill on them. In addition, the restaurant must also be fun and be compelling to the customers.

Buca Di Beppo

Buca offers a wide selection of party halls for big groups. One in particular is the Pope room. This room has a round table in a secluded circular room that sits people in a way where everyone can talk with the entire group without having to shout. However, Italian food is quite messy but, a resolution has been made. The weekend before prom, an apron party will be held and everyone will make and bedazzle aprons to cover their dresses or tuxedos for dinner. It will add more fun to the entire prom experience and make the group bond more.

Hard Rock Cafe

The Hard Rock Cafe does not offer special party rooms for guests to attend. In addition, the Hard Rock sits people in traditional style in front of everyone else; no secluded rooms.

Conclusion

Buca will make prom a more thrilling and exciting experience. Buca offers many dishes that can fit to our style and the apron making process will give everyone an additional experience that no one will ever forget.
