How does a famous restaurant's well-designed operating system help deliver superior performance? Discover the answer to this question in the next IESE MBA Open Day, a highly interactive experience.
In this Open Day, you'll meet MBA alumni and take part in a Q&A panel, as well as experience the case method.
Together, we’ll discuss the case of Benihana of Tokyo, the iconic restaurant chain featuring Japanese-inspired cuisine. The chain was founded by Rocky Aoki, a young Japanese entrepreneur who grew the business from a single eatery in New York to a global network of restaurants. We’ll explore how a well-designed operating system fits into the competitive strategy of a business and helps to deliver superior performance.
WHAT'S NEEDED?
To ensure a successful experience, participants must have a web camera, external headset, good internet connection, and a quiet environment.
