Excellent Online Research Resource for Students

There are many instances where an instructor requires students to gather information about a particular company for a particular assignment as part of a particular course. Students may also do their own research on potential internship, job opportunities, etc. In either case, there is a great online resource to satisfy student-centered information searches through QSR Magazine, which is a publication dedicated to quick-service and fast-casual restaurant news and information. If going to the restaurant show in Chicago, QSR always has a booth so stop in and chat with the reps and pick up an issue. Either way, the online version is found at: http://www.qsrmagazine.com/

For students wanting to do information searches, the third column has a drop down box that allows visitors to "select a chain." If click on that icon, a complete list of restaurants that fall into the category of quick-service and fast-casual appears and you can scroll down to get news and information specific to that business.

See you at the Show!
