The aim of this report is to analyse the logistics of a medium sized restaurant and give an overall solution for improvements on the restaurant's logistics. The restaurant of interest belongs to Laponia Hotel and is located in Arvidsjaur, Sweden. Investments for over 100.000 Euros are planned for the Hotel, which includes a reconstruction of the restaurant. The details on how the restaurant will be reconstructed are not yet known. I therefore chose to analyse the problemin general terms and find a solution that is focused on the logistic system itself rather than its layout.

Kvalitet, miljö och marknadsföring är några av de mest väsentliga delarna för en Hotellverksamhet. Dessa aspekter ger en bild av bakomliggande orsaker och förklaringar till konsumenters attityd. Eftersom konsumenters behov ständigt förändras är det betydelsefullt för ett Hotell att kontinuerligt upprätthålla konsumentens intresse för att göra Hotellbesöket till en angenäm vistelse.Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska Hotel FrykenStrands konsumenters attityder vid Hotellbesök i allmänhet samt på Hotel FrykenStrand i synnerhet. Uppsatsen skall även ge en indikation på vad Hotel FrykenStrands marknadsföring har för verkan på Hotellets konsumenter.Resultatet av vår studie har visat att för att en verksamhet skall kunna ha en möjlighet att tillfredsställa sina konsumenter på bästa tänkbara sätt bör Hotellet ha kunskapen om vilka faktorer som konsumenterna värderar högre än andra. Det som skiljer effekten av faktorerna åt är i vilket syfte och mån som konsumenten efterfrågar kvalitetsfaktorerna.

The Hotel is located on Skatholmen in the archipelago of Stockholm, Värmdö county. The Hotel building has an open structure characterized by hospitality and the nature outside. The rooms have stunning views of the island landscape and lush forest. With biodiversity and valuable nature in mind, the building has been designed with a structure that should not be too intrusive in the surrounding landscape. The building is meant to blend into the dark silhouette of the island and to give a light footprint on the topography of the landscape.The use of well-chosen materials and similar design, both in plan and facade, creates a consistent building despite the building's somewhat playful expression.

In today?s society Internet is evolving the tourism industry and it?s the pioneers that use this marketing channel to further their brands that?s that reap the benefits of early adoption. In this essay we research how well two kinds of ownership structures, private ownership and chain ownership, in the Hotel market match up against each other in Internet presence and the steps they have taken to encourage guests too book via their websites. We determined that the Hotel market in Karlstad was sufficient to study the different kinds of ownership structures as it?s small enough to see the competition between private ownership and chain ownership clearly instead of as normal in more densely populated cities where chain owned Hotels dominates the marked due to sheer size. The scientific research consists of two types of methods.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how power structures concerning gender and sexuality emerge through the use of language in the Swedish reality show Paradise Hotel. Of particular interest is the representation of heterosexual relations in the show. Because of its interest in the relationship between power, gender and sexuality, the thesis is based on theories from gender and discourse studies. The specific theories referred to are Michel Foucault?s understanding of power, stereotypes according to Stuart Hall, Yvonne Hirdman?s gender system and contract theory, Judith Butler?s heterosexual matrix and R.W.

A case study with two tourism providers, Hotel La-ponia and Mix Ranch, was performed.

Välkommen till Paradise HotelFanny Fellman, Moa Grönroos och Hanna WedénVetenskaplig Rapport B MK045G 7,5 hpHöstterminen 2013-2014Problemformulering och syfteSyftet är att undersöka tv-tittarnas motiv för att titta på Paradise Hotel och hur upplevelsen av programmet påverkar tittarna.Metod och materialEnkätundersökningar där svaren redovisas i stapeldiagram med beskrivande texter.HuvudresultatResultatet vi kom fram till var att majoriteten av tittarna tycker i största allmänhet att dokusåpor är bra. Tittarna följer Paradise Hotel för att se andra människor göra bort sig på TV och de ser på programmet för att det är ett tidsfördriv. Det som underhåller tittarna är spänningen i att bevaka dramat bland deltagare och i gruppen. Den större delen av tittarna påverkas inte av serien och tittarna upplever programmet som att deltagarna enbart deltar för att bli kända senare..

The purpose of this paper is to examine the correlation between Hotels, their brands and the frontline staff within the industry. A competitive, international environment characterizes today´s Hotel industry where brands are one of the strongest sources for a successful position amongst competitors. In the brand delivery, the front line staff is of utmost importance since they in many ways incorporate the brand values and the projected identity of the Hotel. Hotels can use a variety of ways to communicate the brands identity to the front line staff in order to create the desired brand behavior, some more effective than others. At the same time the Swedish Hotel industry, as many other, is characterized by a high percentage of staff turnovers.

 The purpose with my study was primarily to illuminate the students' expectations on gained knowledge during their studies at the upper secondary school Hotel- and Restaurant program, and to what extent these expectations were fulfilled. Secondarily, the purpose was to compare the students' expected and perceived knowledge with the program goals set by the Swedish government and the knowledge requirements expressed in a pilot study made by the Education council of the Hotel and restaurant business (UHR, 2007).I chose a quantative approach and I used an anonymous group enquiry among students at the Hotel- and Restaurant program at two different upper secondary schools to carry out my study.Tendencies in the result suggested that the students at the Hotel- and Restaurant program expected high knowledge level within the competence areas of Guest reception and communication, Cleaning and hygiene, Cooking of cold and hot dishes and Waiting. The expectations were not big within the areas Computers and Internet and Business economics and management.Fulfillment of expected knowledge tended to be high within the areas where the expectations were big. It might therefore be a good investment for schools to work on the student expectations to increase motivation within the low expectation areas.A confrontation of the tendencies in the result with the program goals and the competence requirements expressed in the UHR study, suggested that the upper secondary Hotel- and Restaurant education might focus some more the areas of Guest reception and communication, Beverages and Organization of banquets. Business economics and management should be given much more weight..

The purpose of this essay is to analyse the movie Hotel Rwanda from a didactic point of view using the movie?s use of history and historical culture as the main analytical tools. We also intend to problematize the use of movies in teaching focusing on the teaching guide from the Swedish film institution concerning Hotel Rwanda. We choose to work with a qualitative method.
