Company ProfileCompany Profile

The Cheesecake

Factory Incorporated


Cheesecake FactoryCheesecake Factory Evelyn and Oscar Overton began making

cheesecakes in their Detroit basement in the 1950s. The popularity of their cheesecakes eventually

convinced the Overtons to move to Los Angeles and establish a wholesale bakery that sold cheesecakes and other desserts to local restaurants.

The Overtons’ son, David, opened the business’s first restaurant in 1978 in Beverly Hills.

Within a few years, that restaurant was grossing $3 million in annual sales.


Cheesecake FactoryCheesecake Factory

The Overtons continued to open other restaurants in the Los Angeles area over the next several years.

In 1992, the company incorporated and went public.

In the early 1990s, a restaurant industry survey found that cheesecake was the most popular dessert item in restaurants (64% offered cheesecake, compared to 61% that offered apple pie).

Funds raised by the IPO allowed the company to open restaurants in Chicago, Houston, D.C., and other major metropolitan areas.


Cheesecake FactoryCheesecake Factory

Key competitors: Chili’s, Ruby Tuesday, Applebee’s, and Outback Steakhouse.

Presently has 50 restaurants and annual sales of approximately $500 million.

David Overton serves as the CEO.


Cheesecake FactoryCheesecake Factory Key strength: Same-store sales have

continued to increase in recent years. Key strength: Company management is

pursuing other expansion opportunities, including locating in major airports.

Key challenge: Critics point out that the company’s leading products are not “health-friendly.”

Key challenge: “Themed” restaurant chains often lose their appeal eventually with the public.

Divisibility—Ability to be broken down into smaller units

Portability—Ability to be easily moved from place to place

Durability—Ability to survive repeated usage over time

Table 14.2Table 14.2 How Leverage Works How Leverage Works


The Financial System andThe Financial System andFinancial InstitutionsFinancial Institutions

Financial System—process by which funds are transferred from savers to users.


Overview of the Financial System and Its Components



Depository Institutions—financial institutions that accept deposits that can be converted into cash demand.



Commercial BanksLargest and probably most important

financial institutionsApproximately 7,900 commercial banks in

the U.S.Total Assets: $7.1 trillionDown from over 18,000 in 1985



Commercial BanksHow Banks Operate

Banks raise funds by offering checking and savings accounts

They then pool these deposits and lend most of them out to consumers and businesses


Types of Outstanding Bank Loans



Commercial BanksElectronic BankingMore and more funds are moving through

Elections Funds Transfer Systems (EFTS)EFTS—computerized systems for

conducting financial transactions over electronic linksIncludes automatic teller machines

(ATMs), debit or check cards, and direct deposit of paychecks



Commercial BanksOnline Banking

Regular online bank users now 1 out of every 5 U.S. households

Projected to grow to 1 in 3 households by 2010

Two types of online banks:Internet-only banksTraditional bricks and mortar banks

with Web sites



Bank RegulationWho Regulates Banks?

State chartered banks are regulated by the appropriate state banking authorities

Most are federally insured, and also subject to FDIC regulation

Federally chartered banks are regulated by the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Comptroller of the Currency



Bank RegulationFederal Deposit Insurance

Deposits are insured by the FDIC up to a set amount – currently $100,000

Federal deposit insurance was enacted by the Banking Act of 1933 to restore public confidence in the banking system


Other Financial InstitutionsOther Financial Institutions

Savings Banks and Credit UnionsSavings banks and credit unions are also

important financial institutionsThey offer many of the same services as

commercial banksA series of crises cause many of the

predecessors of savings banks to merge with financially stronger institutions

Credit Unions are cooperative financial institutions, owned by their depositors, all of whom are members


Other Financial InstitutionsOther Financial Institutions

Nondepository Financial InstitutionsAccept funds from businesses and

households, much of which they then investInsurance CompaniesPension FundsFinance Companies


The Federal Reserve SystemThe Federal Reserve System

Central bank of the United States. Has four basic responsibilities:Regulating commercial banksPerforming banking-related activities for

the U.S. TreasuryServicing member banksMonetary policy



Organization of the Federal Reserve SystemNation is divided into 12 federal reserve

districts, each with its own Federal Reserve Bank

Each district Bank supplies banks within its district with currency and facilitates the clearing of checks

District banks are run by a nine-member board of directors



Governing body of the Fed is the Board of GovernorsThe board consists of seven members,

appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate

The Fed is designed to be politically independentFed Governors are appointed to 14-year terms

– staggered so that a president could not appoint a majority during a single term

Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC)



Check Clearing and the FedClearing of a check—process by which funds

are transferred from the Check writer to the recipient

If both the writer in the recipient have accounts at the same bank, a check will clear in house

If both have accounts at banks in the same town, the two banks may clear the check directly with one another

If one has an account with a bank in a state different than the other, the check will likely be cleared through the Federal Reserve system



Monetary PolicyMonetary Policy—managing the growth

rate in the supply of money and credit, usually through the use of interest rates.

Fed’s job is to ensure that the money supply grows at an appropriate rate allowing the economy to expand and inflation to remain in check



Monetary PolicyIf money supply grows too slowly economic

growth will slow, unemployment will increase, and the risk of recession will increase

If the money supply grows to rapidly, inflationary pressures build
