    What chains will be gone by the end of 2012

    Just got back from Pizza Hut. First time I have been in years. While the surroundings were pretty pleasant the quality of the food... dear lord. Everything looks and tastes processed. I don't understand how the MD of that company can happily eat the food they have on offer and feel as though...

    Burger Vans

    Got an odd question for you guys. I am in the early stages of organising a pretty large music event at a UK University. As the campus is huge and private property I was wondering if I would be allowed to have burger vans parked outside the event to cater for the revellers. Furthermore I wanted...

    Sending Delicate Products

    Just investigating a new business proposal and one of the options is to send out our product from a central hub using couriers. The downside is that our product is a delicate foodstuff and therefore must be kept upright and not be crushed. What are my options? Do coursers offer special...

    Building a Configurator

    Is it quite a specified field or could most half decent web developers put one together? The items are extremely customisable so we are talking about quite a few options, maybe like 30. I would also like to use real graphics meaning that we would have to photograph all the single elements...

    Enforcing Court Judgment

    So long story short; I took an ex-employer to a tribunal and was awarded around £7k. The employer did not even bother to turn up at the hearing, they have failed to submit to companies house and are now in the grace period before being struck off. To further this the two main directors have...

    BT Giving......What?!

    Quite obvious why they did it, you are now on a new contract and they can incorporate you into their cash flow forecasts for another X months.

    Has anyone ever used this business structure?

    In a way, I'm just investigating an idea I had recently. Without divulging the actual product the format is pretty similar to those online florist companies who take orders and pass them on to local shops. The business plan I have in mind is creating an online hub which allows for the exact...

Essentially the business acts as an online hub, taking orders and then passing the orders onto a local supplier who then builds/creates the ordered product...
