Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather information. Determine the amount of net sales. Determine the amount of average total assets. Calculate the total asset turnover.

Answer: In order to calculate your total asset turnover, you will need to gather some information. If you do not already know your net sales and average total asset numbers, you will need to have the information available to determine your net sales as well as your average total assets. Use your business spreadsheets to help you determine these numbers. To determine your net sales, you will need to subtract your total allowances and discounts for the year. For example, if you own a clothing store and you sold $200,000 worth of clothing the previous year but you had $10,000 in returns and gave $5,000 in discounts. Your net sales for the year would be $185,000. total sales (returns + allowances) = net sales To determine your average total assets, you will need to go back two years in your bookkeeping. Find the amount of your total assets for the current year and previous year, then add the two numbers together. Next, divide the total amount by 2. For example, if your total assets at the end of the previous year were $275,000 and your total assets at the end of the current year are $237,000, the total amount would be $512,000. When you divide $512,000 by 2, your total is $256,000. Therefore, $256,000 would be your average total asset number. (total assets for previous year + total assets for current year) / 2 Now that you have your net sales number and your average total asset number, you are ready to calculate your total asset turnover. To calculate your total asset turnover, you will need to divide your net sales number by your average total asset number. Use the total asset turnover ratio: total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets Our hypothetical calculation would be: $185,000 / $256,000 = 0.72

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Become a product expert by knowing your menu back to front. Sell more food. Use "suggestive selling" to help your guests make decisions. Manicure the table as people eat.

Answer: Notice that when you meet a waiter or waitress that has tried everything on the menu, you tend to listen to their recommendations a lot more. If you want to earn more tips, make a decision to eat everything on the menu and then tell your tables what you enjoyed. They will appreciate it and tip you more. You should, at a minimum, be able to recommend 3-5 dishes that you've sampled and enjoy. You should also know any common allergens in each dish, as well as basic dietary restrictions (vegetarian or not, gluten-free, etc.) Talk to the chefs about their recipes and food. They can offer you great little bits of information, such as drink pairings and where ingredients come from, that will make you seem all the more knowledgeable. When you have higher check totals you get bigger tips. Offer appetizers, drinks and deserts by name. Use enticing and descriptive words like rich, creamy, smooth, spicy, etc. Offer your guest an after dinner espresso or cappuccino. This will warm them up and give them time to think about how great you are and what a giant tip they are going to leave you. You should always, at the very least, offer your guests dessert and/or coffee. Be politely assertive about the food, saying "let me bring you the dessert menu?" instead of "would you guys like to consider dessert? To up-sell, suggest an add on item, like a side of shrimp to accompany a steak or chicken in a salad. Helping a group pair food and wine is a great way to suggest that they get an expensive bottle with their meal. Be assertive with your suggestions. For example, it might cost extra to get cheese on a hamburger -- but you don't need to explain that. When someone orders a burger, simply ask, "and you'd like cheese on that?" This may be less productive for you during busy shifts. Adding $5 to a bill results in a small bump in tips, but getting a whole new group to sit down and spend $55 on dinner will result in higher tips overall. When the beverage napkins get soggy, replace them. When they are finished with dishes, take them away. If they make a mess, politely help them clean it. People feel better in a clean, tidy environment, and are more likely to get more food if they don't see the scraps from their last course. If a dish is empty, politely ask if you can take it for them. Do not, however, take plates from anyone if someone is still eating. This makes the people still eating feel rushed. Get rid of small things quietly and efficiently. Try and sweep by and avoid distracting the group from their discussion as much as possible.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start by spot cleaning. Wrap your Sanuks in towels. Wash your Sanuks in a washing machine. Air dry your Sanuks. Use leather cleaning if your shoes are leather.

Answer:
Before putting your shoes in a washing machine, remove any harsh stains via spot cleaning. Dissolve a small amount of mild laundry detergent in a bowl of hot water. Dip a rag or sponge in the water. Wipe off any dirt, mud, or other noticeable stains. Hot water should only be used on Sanuks in small amounts. Do not submerge your Sanuks in hot water as this can cause damage. Before placing your Sanuks in a washing machine, wrap them up in some old towels. This will prevent them from banging around inside of the machine too much, preventing damage. It will also lead to a more quiet wash. Use cold water and a color safe detergent to wash your Sanuks. Use a gentle wash if one is offered on your machine. A cup of white vinegar or a few tablespoons of baking soda can help remove bacteria from your shoes. Make sure you're using the cold water setting. Hot water can cause serious damage to Sanuks, causing them to shrink or lose their shape. Never put Sanuks in a machine dryer. Set them somewhere to dry where they will not be disturbed. Within 24 hours, your Sanuks should be dry and ready to wear again. Leather Sanuks should not be washed in a machine. Purchase a leather cleaner online or at a department store to clean leather Sanuks. Spot treat the Sanuks for stains by dabbing or rubbing the leather cleaner onto soiled or dirty areas. Leather cleaners have different precise instructions depending on the type you get. Make sure to read the label carefully to make sure you use your leather cleaner correctly. Leather Sanuks should also be air dried.
