Case Scenario

Beefsteak is a fast-casual restaurant concept from acclaimed Chef José Andrés that focuses on the "unsung power of vegetables" (Beefsteak Company Background Packet, n.d., page 7). José Andrés is a world-renowned chef and owner of a number of restaurants. He was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with disaster relief through his nonprofit organization World Central Kitchen. Andrés's mission is to change the world through the power of food. Jim Biafore, Senior Director for Beefsteak, knows that culture-much like any good business-is forever changing, adapting to its environment. As Beefsteak grows, he sees the need to develop employees not only for return on investment, but also for maintenance of the culture and values espoused from the larger organization, ThinkFoodGroup.
