Abstract
Minims Restaurant is owned by Universal Facilities Organisation (UFO), whose head office is in Phoenix, Arizona. UFO owns a variety of businesses world wide, including a pearl fishing co-operative in Japan and a distillery in Scotland. UFO’s expertise lies in finance, and it has an IBM/370–158 in Phoenix which is fed with monthly operating data from each subsidiary, sent by small low-speed terminals at each location. (The operating data report shows planned versus actual this month and cumulative for the year: revenue, operating costs, capital expenditure, cash at bank.)
