Many people say that you should put yourself in the client's place to get a better perspective on how to proceed. Actually, you must go beyond that. You must put yourself in the place of each and every client, not just any client in general. Why? Because every client's perception of success in terms of your project performance, level of detail, timeliness, deliverables, and autonomy is different.

Giving the buyer options is one way of catering to the client. Some clients consider an executive summary of an audit an acceptable deliverable, while others want every detail. Some have information technology staff on their payroll and can maintain a computer automation product that you provide, while others prefer to buy the maintenance contract and have nothing to do with customization or computer code.

Providing options gives you a more accurate picture of how the project will unfold, and you can plan accordingly. If a client is asking to meet a difficult deadline that will require you to We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-)) shift considerable resources and perhaps disrupt the flow of work in your organization, you can provide an option in the budget for expedited service. If a client accepts, you'll be compensated for the extra effort and will have some advance notice that will allow you to schedule your staff appropriately. If the client declines, they're acknowledging that within reason, they will be patient with the project's progress.

If you break a proposal out by tasks, noting which are optional, you make the client a collaborative partner prior to the project, and that's where you want to be positioned. You're not compromising quality of your product or service. You're simply giving your clients what they want.

Burgers & Steak

For example, a restaurant will often offer everything from hamburger to a filet of the finest aged beef. While the filet has a higher profit margin than the hamburger, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take time to pick fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, served in a visually pleasing manner, to the hamburger client.

Even though you will generate greater revenue and profit from the client who orders the steak, the fact is you will probably have five hamburger sales for every steak sale. The hamburger client may even order a steak the next time he or she comes into the restaurant. That one client may also tell three friends about the restaurant, and those friends may be either hamburger or steak clients.

You never know where one client's business will lead. So serve burgers to the burger crowd, steak to the steak crowd, and value each and every client.

Now that the World Cup has ended and all the football fans are gradually trickling away from their temporary surrogate homes across Germany, the country can begin to get back to normality, and the usual business of tourism can take hold once again.

Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany with a population of about 1.7 million people, and given its industrial past, is a lively and surprisingly green harbour city. Much of the city is occupied by parks, protected countryside, lakes or tree-lined canals, giving this huge city a refreshing rural feel. The western part of Hamburg is particularly well renowned for its many beautiful parks, beautiful promenades along the river Elbe, and the surrounding fashionable suburbs.

With many operators offering flights to Hamburg taking just two hours from most of the UK airports, it is easy to travel to this exciting city. Once there traveling around is also simple. The Airport is only 5 miles to the north of the city, with taxi and bus services in to town readily We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  available, or car rental through Avis, Budget, easyCar, Europcar, Hertz, National and Six, at the airport. You can even rent a limousine if you really want to.

The centre of the city is filled with an abundance of new and old arcades linked together creating a great shopping experience especially for those looking for the latest in designer wear, with some of the best shops located in Rathaus Square, along with the impressively grand city hall which stands supported by dozens of pillars. For music lovers there is always the acclaimed State Opera or the river-side Hafentheater, which is home to contemporary musicals. For dance music fans there are many clubs around the city, and it remains host to the 5 day Full Moon Fever Festival in July.

If a bit of quiet peaceful scenery is needed, then there is always the option of a trip to the farming areas of Altes Land, where unspoilt countryside and quaintly decorated farmers houses can be found.

As well as culture, Hamburg is a city for fun -- high on the list of most visitors' things to do is to make time to enjoy some of the fantastic beer halls. It is also worthwhile finding Hamburg's 300 year old Altona fish market located south of the Reeperbahn every Sunday morning, which now sells fruit, sausages and livestock and clothes, along with the odd fish or two. A trip along the many canals and waterways is also worth a go, as it is not called the "Venice of the North" for nothing.

For those whose idea of a great holiday is lively nightlife, then there is always the historic and infamous, Reeperbahn, where the Beatle used to regularly play. This area runs 600m along the entire length of the red-light district of St. Pauli between Millerntor and Nobistor. While still being fairly racey at night, things have changed in recent years, so that today the previous forms of entertainment have been replaced by copious trendy bars, clubs, restaurants, theatres and even the odd museum. Although the atmosphere has now become safe and fairly unthreatening, with the police station located in the centre of the area, a broad minded attitude may still be required for some areas.

Family picnics and other special occasions are always fun to have but can get pretty taxing when you're the one preparing for them. For instance, you need to make sure that there is plenty of food that your relatives and friends can munch on while you slave away over the grill.

And let's face it, it's also much easier to call in and order burgers from a quick service restaurant or to have someone cater your burgers if you don't mind paying a fortune for them. However, when it come to hamburgers, nothing beats a great home cooked burger because you can pick the best ingredients for your burgers and put in as much love and care into them as you want. In fact, you can even take any simple hamburger recipe, jazz it up and turn it into a wonderful new recipe that you and your family can enjoy again and again.

Take the simple grilled hamburger for example. Usually you just grill the beef patty, slide it into a bun, add some pickles, onion, catsup and mustard and then eat it. But if you are going to We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-)) serve hamburgers at your next family reunion, or any other special occasion for that matter, you could alter the recipe in order to infuse it with different, sumptuous, flavors that would make your burgers stand out from the ordinary. Some of your relatives and friends who are at your picnic may even ask you for your recipe.

So with that in mind, if you are planning to serve hamburgers at your next family picnic, then here are three tips on how you can make the best homemade hamburgers ever.

Tip #1: Pack the hamburger patty with your own special seasonings and spices.

For example, you can definitely liven up your hamburgers if you marinade them in soy sauce, Montreal seasoning, red and black pepper, paprika and garlic. This combination of spices and seasonings will definitely make your hamburgers stand out at your picnic as they are packed with flavors that are different from the usual, boring, ready-to-cook hamburger patties available in many supermarkets today or even from the hamburgers that the fast food chains sell. However, it really doesn't matter what seasoning or spices you add to your burger as long as you add something to make them special and "remarkable" meaning your guests will talk about them long after the picnic is over.

Tip #2: Always make sure to use the best ingredients in making hamburgers.

Everyone's taste and preferences are different as one person may like eating your hamburgers while another person may not. But the key rule here is that you must be able to search for the finest ingredients when you make your burgers because if you're able to do so, then half of your work is done. For instance, you could opt to use ground chuck, ground sirloin or even a 50-50 mixture of ground beef and pork for the patties. The choice is up to you, just be sure to use the freshest hamburger meat you can find.

We take a look at the enigmatic origins of the world's most popular meal...the Hamburger!

If you look back a few thousands of years, you'll find that even the ancient Egyptians ate ground meat patties, and down through the ages ground meat has been shaped into patties and eaten all over the world under many different names. But exactly when and where the modern hamburger was born is much harder to pin down. Several folks over in the US - from New Haven, Connecticut, to Tulsa, Oklahoma - confidently claim their ancestors invented it.

As controversial as it is, the history of the hamburger is truly a story that has been run through the meat grinder. Legends say it began with the Mongols, who stashed scraps of beef, lamb or mutton under their saddles as they spanned the globe in their campaign to conquer the We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  known world, much as McDonald's has done in the last half century.

The softened meat was formed into flat patties, and after enough time spent sandwiched between the asses of man and beast, the meat became tender enough to eat raw - certainly a boon to swift-moving riders not keen to dismount.

When Genghis Khan's grandson, Kublai Khan, and his hordes invaded Moscow, they naturally brought their unique dietary ground meat with them. The Russians adopted it into their own cuisine with the name "Steak Tartare," (Tartars being their name for the Mongols). Over many years, Russian chefs adapted and developed this dish and refined it by adding chopped onions and raw eggs.

Later, as global trade picked up, seafarers brought this idea back to the port city of Hamburg, Germany, where the Deutschvolk decided to mold it with breadcrumbs into a steak shape and cook it, making something that, outside of Hamburg, was referred to as "Hamburg steak," a dish now most popular today, in of all places, Japan, where almost every menu lists it under Western fare as "steak cooked in the Hamburg style" or "hanbagu."

But enough fishing in European and Asian waters; let's cut bait here. Somehow ground beef gets to America. Somehow it's put on a bun. But by whom? Surely, the historical record should become clearer once we land on American shores. Sadly, it doesn't.

While some have written that the first American hamburger (actually Hamburger Steak) was served in 1834 at Delmonico's Restaurant, New York City, this oft-quoted origin is not based on the original Delmonico menu but rather a facsimile, which was debunked; the published facsimile could not possibly be correct, as the printer of the purported original menu was not even in business in 1834!

If a ground beef patty served between two slices of bread is a hamburger, then credit goes to Charlie Nagreen of Seymour, Wisconsin, who, at the age of 15, sold hamburgers from his ox-drawn food stand at the Outagamie County Fair. He went to the fair and set up a stand selling meatballs.

Business wasn't good and he quickly realised that it was because meatballs were too difficult to eat while strolling around the fair.

In a flash of innovation, he flattened the meatballs, placed them between two slices of bread and called his new creation a hamburger. He was known to many as "Hamburger Charlie." He returned to sell hamburgers at the fair every year until his death in 1951, and he would entertain people with his guitar and mouth organ and this jingle:

"Hamburgers, hamburgers, hamburgers hot; onions in the middle, pickle on top. Makes your lips go flippity flop."

The town of Seymour is so certain about this claim that it calls itself the "Home of the Hamburger," holds the record for the world's largest hamburger, and hosts a hamburger festival every year.

To be fair, though, descendants of county fair concessionaire Frank Menches, and If If restaurateur Louis Lassen, also claim their ancestors invented the hamburger - served on bread - in 1892 and 1900, respectively.

Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, claims to have invented our favourite meal. From its website: "One day in the year 1900 a man dashed into a small New Haven luncheonette and asked for a quick meal that he could eat on the run. Louis Lassen, the establishment's owner, hurriedly sandwiched a broiled beef patty between two slices of bread and sent the customer on his way, so the story goes, with America's first hamburger."

This claim is countered by the family of Frank and Charles Menches from Akron, Ohio, who now operate a small chain called, not surprisingly, Menches Bros., and claim that their great-grandfather Charles and his brother Frank invented the dish while travelling in a concession circuit at fairs, race meetings, and farmers' picnics in the Midwest.

Grocery shopping is one of the large expenses in the American home, and it seems to be getting larger.

There is no way around grocery shopping; it is a household responsibility and necessity.

So how can You Save Money While Grocery Shopping? One area is the meat department.

Merchandising, within the context of a grocery store, is simply the subtle art and science of selling food. Some have even called it manipulation. The basic purpose of merchandising is to sell product and can range from how grocery isles are arranged to even the colors you see on labels.

Merchandising also includes getting the highest price possible. For example, let's say pork chops cost $2.49 per pound. We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  To remain competitive, the store can't sell it for much more, or can it?

Let's use our pork chop example. You go to the grocery store shopping for dinner. You spot stuffed pork chops. Pork chops sell for $2.49 a pound. Stove Top Stuffing costs $1.49. When you buy stuffed pork chops, you are paying $2.49 for the stuffing inside of the pork chops. So instead of getting 2 pounds of pork chops, you actually end up with one and a half pounds of pork and the other half pound of stuffing. That's merchandising but it's also expensive. So here's one example of how you can eat steak on a hamburger budget.

Boneless chuck roast is a very popular cut of meat. The meat department will slice it into steaks and charge an extra ten or twenty cents or more per pound. Another merchandising example. But here's what you can do. Instead of buying the chuck steaks, buy the chuck roast and ask the meat department to cut it into steaks for you. They never charge extra for this service.

Another great idea that will save you a lot of money is to have the meat cutter remove the "chuck eye." The chuck eye is the most tender part of the chuck. Chuck Eye steak is a very popular cut of meat because it is so tender. It's great on the grill and is much cheaper than any other steak. It is also perfect for stew meat or even country fried steak. If you've tried chuck eye then you know what I'm saying is true and if you haven't then you are in for a treat.

Chuck eye steak typically sells at twice the cost of a boneless chuck roast. So instead of buying chuck eye steak and paying $5.99 per pound or more, buy the chuck roast at $3.29 a pound, have them remove the chuck eye and either cut it into steaks yourself or have the meat department do it for you. So what do you do with the rest of the roast? Simply have them cut it into squares and then run it through their cuber to use for country fried steak or have them grind it into hamburger.

There seems to be a terrible thing happening, and that is, the lack of true and honest customer service. I am talking about the kind of customer service that made the buyer feel like their purchase was a good one, where customers walk away happy, knowing and feeling like they just accomplished a good thing. Where value met ethics, where guarantees met standards, and where quality met truth.

Running your business without knowing or caring what your customers want and think, you must know this is how you'll kill your business. I think business owners and managers might start out with the right ingredients for success, but seem to quickly lose their focus, soon their customers are their last thought. Making money cannot be your only objective. Here's why:

I tell the following story quite often when I am on this subject, because it is a true story. I actually witnessed this event when I was twelve years old, and I will never forget it The area I grew up in We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  was your average, middle income, Omaha, Ne. neighborhood, where the grocery store my mother always shopped at, was only a few blocks from our home. My mom spent her money there with a sense of loyalty. This particular Saturday, she purchased everything needed to serve cheeseburgers, with chips and dip for dinner that evening, which was commonly our Saturday evening meal.

When Mom arrived home, she honked the horn as she pulled into our driveway. My sisters and I ran outside to help carry in the groceries. Mom had been sick with a bad head cold. This was the first time she had been out in a week or more. Feeling a little bit better, she told us kids that she would get dinner ready while we played over at the neighbors house, and she would call for us when dinner was ready. So, of course, we ran outside to play. Almost an hour had passed when Mom called the neighbors house to say she wanted us to come home. We went right home.

There was a platter of cheeseburgers on buns in the middle of our dining room table. Sliced onions, pickles, leaves of lettuce, ketchup and mustard, all sitting there, oh, and the best part, the chips and dip! We all fixed our plates, took them into the living room where we would all sit together, eating and enjoying "Get Smart" on T.V.

Taking a big bite of my burger, I could taste and smell the soured hamburger, so could the rest of my family, except for Mom. She normally had the nose of a bloodhound, but not with this head cold, she could not smell or taste the rottenness of the meat. So, Mom did what she thought was right and called the grocery store that she had been to that very day. The store manager asked her to bring the meat back in to prove her claim. I went with her this time.

We walked back to the meat counter where the manager was waiting. He started asking Mom why she went as far as cooking it if it was bad meat. She explained to him about her head cold, and how we told her after the very first bite was taken. He told her that he would not give her another package of hamburger as a replacement, but Mom rebutted saying, "but the buns, and everything put on them, is ruined as well!" The manager said that no way would he compensate her for any of it, because he felt she should have noticed it before anyone ever even ate it.

After a few minutes of debating, mom took me by the hand and we walked out the front door. She abruptly stopped right outside the door. As an elderly couple were walking into the store, Mom said to them, "I hope you don't need to buy hamburger today, this store is selling rotten hamburger and won't give me my money back for ruined food. The manager saw this, came outside and asked Mom and I to come back into the store. We did.

Mom asked him what he wanted, he said he would compensate her for the entire meal, if she would stop telling customers that they sell bad hamburger.

Word of mouth advertising means a lot. You don't ruin relationships with your loyal customers, or any customer, if you want to succeed. Your loyal customers are the biggest reason you even have a business to run.

I love hamburgers. Anyone that knows me, knows this. There is just something about a seasoned patty of beef between two slices of toasted bread, with cheese and other assorted toppings that makes me salivate like Homer Simpson. So it's from a labor of love that I list the best hamburgers served at chain restaurants across the country. It's best not to list them in any particular order as I would hate to start a war.

Red Robin - A national chain, they claim to offer "Gourmet Hamburgers," and it's not too far from the truth. They start with a ½ pound Angus beef patty and then it's a king-sized selection of how you want it garnished. Try a Banzai, a Guacamole Bacon or Prime Chophouse to start. Or invent your own combination. Oh yeah, they also have unlimited fries. You have been warned.

Whataburger - Originally a Texas chain, Whataburger has spread through the South and it making its way North. The burger is an approximately 5" wide, pressed-flat, ¼ fresh beef patty that when cooked perfectly, has a slight crispiness around the edges. What We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  sets it apart is actually the bread, also fresh and toasted perfect. And they serve fries by the bag!

White Castle - If you have a Castle in your town, you are probably surprised to see this on the list. But if you don't, absence makes the heart grow fonder (I swear.) The "Original Slider" is a relatively small burger, about 2" square. It has grilled onions, pickles and is served on a dinner roll. A burger you order in groups of 4 or 5, it is a perfect ending to a night of bar hopping.

Five Guys - Started in Virginia in the 80's, Five Guys is now nationwide and thank goodness for that. It's all about "fresh" and "peanuts" with them. The beef is always fresh (no freezers in the store) and seasoned to perfection. They use peanut oil for the fries and offer free peanuts to customers while they wait. Although a little expensive for a chain, in this case you get what you pay for, absolutely delicious.

Fatburger - Primary a western US chain, Fatburger is quickly spreading east. The burgers are ordered like t-shirts; S-XXXL (2.5oz - 24oz.) Delicious? You bet! Bigger doesn't always mean better, but in this case... it really does. The shakes and fries are good, but it's the burger that brings you back.

Steak 'n Shake - National chain of 24 hour restaurants with a 50's diner feel, S 'n S serves a great, thin hamburger that will force you to order a second. The fries are a little underwhelming, but the burgers (and chili, and shakes, and baked beans) make up for it. Hmm, a chili burger?

Cheesecake Factory - I know, you really didn't expect to see this one here. Well, unless you've had the Farmhouse Burger, that is. 8 ounces of beef, with all the fixings. Then add pulled pork and a fried egg on the top! Unbelievably good and enough calories for a month. Totally worth the extra money on a special occasion.

In-N-Out - I said I wouldn't pick a favorite, but... In-N-Out is the king of all fast food burgers in my humble opinion and it truly saddens me there isn't one within 500 miles of here. A western chain, In-N-Out serves a small menu but they make it right. Delicious, seasoned beef patties and fresh buns are key, but it's the whole package that makes it special. Fantastic fries and superior customer service make it complete. Next time you're in Vegas...

Have you ever experienced annoyance or exasperation with inconsistent or slow service? Has any customer service or support proved unhelpful and unsupportive to your queries or requirements? Knowledgeable people will simply describe your experience as an encounter with a company or an organisation lacking in proper service design.

In simple terms, service design is "the art, science and technology of satisfactorily delivering a product or service to the customer in the fastest and most efficient manner at the least cost in the easiest and simplest process possible". Simple enough but looks really complex given its requirements in the superlative degree. It even sounds impossible because of the requirement for satisfactory "user experience" in all stages of the whole process.

All phases of product or service delivery must be easy and satisfactory to both the doer and the receiver. Let's take the food industry as a subject in designing a passable service design. We have to pinpoint where the whole process begins in order to understand how service design is to be applied and implemented.

First, you have to identify a product or service line. Let us try hamburger. Who and where is the market? Normally, it would be in densely populated places with busy people and always in a hurry. We are Locksmith and will al lot of Links :-))  That first bit of information is crucial. The product has to reach the busy customer super-fast.

Based on the information above, here is a list of musts:

· Locate the establishment in the heart of the city (downtown).

· Have a clean and sufficient space to accommodate desired or pre-set number of customers, equipment and staff.

· Develop a program of purchasing materials and supplies that assure availability of ingredients whenever needed taking care that there is minimal spoilage or wastage for cost efficiency.

· Train "frontline" personnel in a behavioural system of taking orders fast but with a "personal touch," making the customer feel comfortable while waiting for their orders.

· Train "backstage" personnel to prepare hamburgers of the highest quality in terms of shape, size, look or serving arrangement and taste with optimal use of ingredients and equipment.

· Design a bridge between the "frontline" and "backstage" personnel using communication codes or system that will facilitate ordering, processing and serving of products in a swift manner taking care to let the product reach the customer the way he wants it.

· Use state-of-the-art computer equipment and technologies that will facilitate computations and processing that can otherwise slow down the service delivery flow.

· Constantly look for other areas for improvement as opportunities not only to satisfy but even delight the customer but which will not burden the workforce further.
