The following memorandum is from the business manager of Happy Pancake House restaurants.
"Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish butter from margarine or they use the term 'butter' to refer to either butter or margarine. Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter and to increase profitability, the Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast as well."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
The author is presumptuous in the conclusion with simplifying 2 percent of customers’ complains that it does not matter that change the butter to margarine in their pancake. Not only his analysis of the public acceptance of the replacement is very rough, but his conclusion also full of doubts. If his answers can be reasonable to those questions, he needs to further clarify the different areas of the U.S. have the same reflection, the 2 percent complain are extremely low, and lowering the expense of purchase is the only effective option to improve their business profit.
