Overarching Problem My industry partner, which is a restaurant, is having trouble reaching out to younger folks in order to be
the trendy joint. Millennials are active and want affordable meals when they go out to eat, drink and make
merry. My research project will explore this group of people (millennials) and figure out their definition of
trendy. It is important to solve this problem so that the restaurant can adjust and be fashionable. Moreover,
their sales have been stagnant for a couple of years.
While there are likenesses crosswise overages or generations, there are likewise various clear contrasts.
For instance, twenty-year-old to thirty-year-old will probably need to post their drinking incidences on
social media. Moreover, such a gathering of customers is anxious to figure out cooking also they are
extremely drawn in with nourishment (Kim et al., 2013). Another essential knowledge is that when
twenty-year-old to thirty-year-old are baffled with a feast result, they are considerably less prone to
attempt this feast once more, which clearly influences their eating knowledge and recurrence of attempting
new meat formulas. Concerning cooking, albeit both twenty-year-old to thirty-year-old and non-recent
college grads demonstrate that their folks were persuasive in showing them to culinary skills, recent
college grads thought they are disposed to utilize sites and culinary TV shows to figure out how to prepare
food (Paul & Jerry, 2010).
