Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson Nov 2022

Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

Over the period 2006 to 2018 many attempts to institute food labeling in restaurants (FLR) have occurred. We examine the impact of federal FLR regulations on equity in the restaurant industry. We find no support for the idea that passage of federal FLR legislation directly altered firm value. However, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rulemaking has had a positive effect on restaurants. The Federal rules are preemptory to state and local rules providing the industry with consistent, straightforward, rules across all jurisdictions. The preemptory aspect may reduce overall industry costs of regulation. We suggest that rule-making by the regulatory agency …

The Impacts Of Covid-19 On Capital Structure Determinants Of Hotel Real Estate Investment Trusts, Marcos Medeiros, Nan Hua, Youcheng Wang

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are responsible for more than seventy-five percent of the hotel ownership structure in the USA. The effects of COVID-19 restrictions on hotel REITs were devastating due to the unpredictability of revenues and cash flows, directly impacting managerial decisions on how to adapt REITs' capital structure quickly. This paper used quarterly hotel REIT financial data of the 18 most representative U.S. H-REITs from January 2015 through December 2020 to understand the moderating effects of COVID-19 on hotel REITs' capital structure determinants. Analyzing a panel data of 472 observations, this study found robust empirical evidence that confirms …

The aim of the current study is to investigate which attributes or characteristics have significant effects on the hotel room prices in Cyprus.

The empirical findings indicate that hotel star rating, spa facilities, playgrounds, table tennis activities and proximity to a bus station have all significant effects on the hotel room prices, in both the summer and the winter seasons. Contrary, air-conditioning, direct-dial telephone and the presence of tennis court and indoor pool amenities affect the room …


Human Resource Allocations For Independent Hotels Under Uncertainty: Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach, Di Wu, Yong Choi, Seunghee Wie May 2022

Human Resource Allocations For Independent Hotels Under Uncertainty: Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach, Di Wu, Yong Choi, Seunghee Wie

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

Human Resource (HR) allocation for independent hotels is critical, especially during and after the pandemic because labor costs account for a large portion of operating expenses in lodging businesses. An effective HR allocation can therefore be critical for minimizing costs and, at the same time, for improving profitability and making financial management more efficient. This study focuses on fuzzy goal programming models covering both linear and quadratic cases to study HR allocation issues for independent hotels as linear programming models are often limited to handle multiple objective HR allocation problems. The applications illustrated in this research can be fully utilized …

Using Acquisitions As A Growth Strategy From Single Concept To Multiple Concepts: A Case Study, Francis A. Kwansa, Eliza Ching-Yick Tse

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

From the day a business is conceived, it is constantly faced with numerous strategic challenges that have impact on its survival, success, and/or failure. Many independent businesses fail within the first three years. For the ones that survive and prosper, they may remain as independents, private and or family businesses, while some transform into corporations and even become publicly traded entities. We use FAT Brands as a case study to examine the evolution of a company from a single restaurant concept and expanding by diversifying into a multi-concept and publicly traded corporation. Internal and external factors such as the impact …
