REQUIRED - write a solution to the case study: The Lame Duck Restaurant owned by Johnny appoints a sales and marketing representative (Summer) to design and launch a new website. Summer is very bright and her design looks amazing. As the website is exceptional, Johnny decides to revamp the pricing system and put 15% mark-up on all food. Summer develops a beautiful design of the new pricing system and posts it online.  Two weeks later, after the prices are changed, Li books the wedding using the menu he found on one of the tables. Summer mistakenly accepts the booking, asking Abu from accounts to accept the deposit and finalise the invoice. Li calls, accepts the quoted price, pays the deposit and books the date for the wedding. The same day, Li sends out invitations to all her friends studying at CDU. The day before the banquet, the error in the quotation is discovered. Johnny gets involved, calls the customer and says that the Lame Duck Restaurant cannot host the wedding (because the quotation was made in error).  However, Li insists that ‘we have a contract’ and says that under the law the Lame Duck Restaurant must deliver.  (a) Advise Johnny, whether the contract exists.

Introduction
This assignment includes the solution to some questions related to the case study. In includes questions such as contract exists or not, a mistake is made or not and what will happen if a restaurant refuses to provide its promised service. The solution to these questions will be provided with appropriate analysis. 
(a) Advising to Johnny, on the Existence of the Contract
The contract exists because the restaurant had taken the amount and booked the date of the wedding also. Any service organisation cannot deny the promises it made at the time of booking. May be Summer had made the booking by mistake or lack of knowledge of the company, but she had taken the amount for the restaurant and did billing also. Johnny cannot deny the fact that a contract was made because no one provided the information of the restaurant's non-availability for a wedding until the final booking by Li. She had mentioned marriage in the purpose of a restaurant's appointment so how can the owner of a restaurant can deny and say that they cannot host wedding in their restaurant. Li had reserved the restaurant and thus, contract exists (Sierag et al. 2017). 
There are some rules that every restaurant should follow before making booking:
Providing all the necessary information about the restaurant and menus:
The restaurant team should provide all information on restaurant service verbally even it is mentioned in the brochure or available online. This step confirms the real scenario of the restaurant to the customer because some changes always happen in an organisation. Thus, it is better to tell each service-related information to a customer and also it is necessary to give them a visit to the premises by sending pictures. As suggested by James (2017), such kind of step will make the customer assured that he would get what he is saying. Never provide false information to attract the customer because it costs much to a restaurant in the end. Information regarding the cancellation of booking and refund should be given because it is an important part, lack of which creates much trouble for both customer and restaurant organisation. Customers are like god for a restaurant, so be loyal in providing any information.
Taking all the information from the customer to know what they want to book:
It is necessary to understand what a customer is expecting from a restaurant so the team should take all information regarding the booking of a customer. Listen and note all requirements along with the receipt you will provide to him so that all things will remain clear until the end of execution of the upcoming event. The restaurant team can give alternative options also if any particular service is not available at the current time. However, never make a false commitment to getting a customer. It can take down the reputation of a restaurant (Haddock-Millar, Sanyal and Muller-Camen, 2016).
Providing billing receipt in both online and offline mode for convenience:
The billing receipt should be provided in both online and offline mode. It is because if a customer has both revenues, then can conveniently produce it at the time of checking. A customer wants convenience and does not like complicacy. There are many restaurants in today's time and to make the customer interested in your service needs some facilities that can attract them. If you provide more convenience by giving each information as mail and text message, then will feel that everything is confirmed. There should be more facilities in the booking procedure so that more customers will come to the restaurant.
