Dinner Arrangement
Good day Mr. President, I am happy to inform you that all of the accommodations for the seminar are organized. All ten participants including yourself will be arriving at the Philadelphia International Airport at exactly 5:30pm. Upon your arrival, everyone will be escorted to the lovely Ristorante Pesto located in 1915 S Broad St, Philadelphia, PA. The Italian restaurant has been awarded the No. 1 restaurant in all of Philadelphia in TripAdvisor by the locals and visitors. Zagat did a review for the restaurant and in the feedback it says, “All of it excellent, that’s due to the outstanding chef-owner and staff who treat you like family.” The Italian restaurant is only 20 minutes away from the airport, everything will be prepared as soon as the arrival of the guests. The $800 allotment for the dinner arrangements will cover the entire cost of everyone’s meal. The dinner will be a three course meal, the appetizers, the main course, and of course the dessert. The price for each appetizers on the menu is no more than $14 each, the guests are free to choose the main dish they want with a variety of menu categorized by pasta, veal, beef, poultry, and fish. The main dishes in the menu don’t exceed 35 dollars and each serving is more than enough to serve everyone. Their dessert is the famous Dolce, a light savory homemade ricotta cheesecake, it is a family recipe. There will also be tea, coffee, and soda servings. I have also prepaid information about two other restaurants, but I highly suggest Ristorante Pesto because I have tried some of their meals and I guarantee amazing flavor and quality. I also include in my proposal the Vernick Food & Drink restaurant in Walnut Street .This restaurant has also been recognized by many people around the country, the price cost is a little higher compared Ristorante Pesto, most of the dishes cost over $60 to $69 and the dessert menu features a variety of choices with the price rate that ranges from $3 to $18. I chose Ristorante Pesto as my main suggestion because of its intimate venue, world-class service, and the food quality is without a doubt truly a manifestation of Italy’s greatest dishes.
Hotel Accommodations
The hotel I chose for the guest to stay in overnight is the Radisson Blu Hotels & Resorts. It is only 1.6 miles away from Ristorante Pesto and it is located at 220 South 17th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103-6179. Each Business Room – King Room has the price rate of at least $320 dollars. The guest will enjoy a king size bed, their own espresso maker, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, workstation desk, and a magnificent view of the city. This hotel is truly magnificent with its bold and innovative interior design. The conference room for the seminar will also be held in this hotel to avoid hassle in the schedule of the guest. Another suggestion for a hotel is the Loews Philadelphia Hotel in the Center City. It will only take 15 minutes to get to the hotel from the Ristorante Pesto. Each guest will have access to a Governor Suite with a king-size bed, a work desk with an ergonomic chair, separate shower and bathtub, a separate sitting room with an entertainment system, free Wi-Fi, and a magnificent view of the city and the river. I would truly recommend the Radisson Blu Hotel for its guest service and private aura to give each guest a good night sleep. In an article published online by the New York Times, Judy Tong the writer said, “This refurbished hotel inside a landmark building at the very center of a historic city is a great place from which to explore.”
Breakfast and Lunch
The Radisson Blu Hotel features two restaurants within its building, the Bluestone Lane for breakfast and the Prime Rib for lunch. The Bluestone Lane is actually a brunch chain variety of breakfast menu from Multigrain toast, granola bowl, green baked eggs, avocado smash, and so much more. The price rate ranges from $10 to $30 dollars. I know that this is more than the allotted money of $200 dollars but I’m pretty sure that it would be just fine because the Prime Rib, serving the best prime ribs, fillet mignon, chicken picatta, angus chopped steak, and vegetarian plate can be covered by the price ranging from $26-$40. The breakfast will be at 7am since the seminar will start at 8am, and the lunch will be at 12pm.The Radisson Blu Hotel is famous for its meeting and event features. The hotel is designed with several types of rooms to hold meetings or conferences for a large group of people to an intimate meeting of 10-15 individuals. The Spruce room includes a long table with a total of 12 seats. The room is located at the center of the hotel and is very spacious. The conference room has a fast Wi-Fi and audio and visual devices can be installed. As alternatives, there are other restaurants near the Radisson that serves breakfast and lunch. In particular for breakfast is Sabrina’s Cafe in 227 N 34th St. Philadelphia, PA 19104, the price rate ranges from $6 to $17, this restaurant would have been covered with the $200 allotted for breakfast, but it is a 12 minute drive from the hotel and the locals might also be having their breakfast that might make the café crowded. For lunch, the alternative choice would be the City Tavern located in138 S 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106. The dishes for lunch in the menu are about $15 to $20 each. This is almost the same with the Prime Rib.
Budget Breakdown
The $8,000 allotted for the entire conference trip is more than enough. The hotel accommodations can be covered by $4000-$4500. Then there is the allotted $800 dollars for the dinner, $200 for breakfast, and $500 dollars for lunch. If you add everything, that would be a total of $6000. Let’s also add the chauffeur service for each guests that can be covered by $1500. Then the $500 dollars is more than enough to cover the refreshments for the seminar.

Dear Committee:
This project needed credible resources and a flexible research because there are different factors to consider. First thing to consider is the reaction of the President, Mr. Donald Trump and the guests who are all high-profile celebrities and a judge. Every information in this paper is supported by accurate statements from actual people who have eaten at the restaurant and stayed at the hotel. You also have to consider time management and delay in the schedule isn’t acceptable. The essential component is time management.
The hardest part for this task is the budget management considering that all of them are individuals with luxurious lifestyle. I know that might be out of the concept for this project but I had to consider everything. It was also hard to provide sufficient positive reviews for the restaurants and the hotels, you have to consider bias comments and paid propaganda.
If the President denied this proposal, I can convince him by informing him about the sentimental value the entire trip plan contains. The Ristorante Resto has been a family business for years. Giovanni Varallo and his wife Concetta has been food heroes by the locals for many years. The Radisson Blu hotel in Philadelphia was the former historical Radisson Plaza. I’m pretty sure that the guests including the president are going the appreciate everything about this trip.
It is all about accuracy and resources, the 227 Office Administration disseminated a wide array of lessons for business management and office processes. These skills are essential and offer a flexible concept in dealing with every factor. Students like me have a deeper understanding about administrative and managerial tasks in different industries.
