Informational Interview

I interviewed my father, Louis Brienza. He owns a Dunkin Donuts in Bethpage, NY. My father manages the day-to-day operations and deals with the financial end of the business. He makes all business decisions for the company ie: loans, real estate, expansion, and banking. He looks for employees that are outgoing, reliable, confident, and who can communicate well with customers. The entry level jobs in his business include crew-members that handle customers, bakers who handle the manufacturing of the products, and store managers. I also learned that in recent years there has been a decrease in sales due to the recession our economy has been facing. The customers are cutting back on there discretionary income. Some businesses will see an increase in the next five years because the financially strong companies will stay in business and build while the weaker companies end up closing. This will create less competition, therefore, increasing the sales of the bigger companies.
