The innovation given by Donald is based on the UN Global Goal centered on Economic Growth 8.3, which promotes sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. What Donald does as a business leader of the Applebee’s franchise is help upcoming businesses and entrepreneurs have exposure to a larger consumer base due to the world wide known name which Applebee’s has made for themselves. Donald is a general manager at an Applebee’s located in Staten Island, NY and is known for his work ethic that never ceases to diminish. All Donald sees within his view of what he does is nothing but prosperity and unmatched initiative. Donald has moved up through the company over his life, and has made a name for himself within the Applebee’s family.
Donald partnered with a(n) up and coming business known as Wine & Design. Wine & Design is a business that holds various meetings where consumers pay to learn how to paint, and also paint for fun while being able to drink wine at the same time, which is offered by the company. Wine & Design can be found on the hit series Shark Tank, and they are slowly but surely coming to a town near you. Donald created this partnership to give this up and coming company exposure and to get the name they have known by the masses with the backing of the Applebee’s name. Art that has been created is presented when you walk into Donald’s specified Applebee’s location, and flyers were also present where the Applebee’s name and Wine & Design name were presented. The flyers stated that Applebee’s would hold various gatherings at specific times and dates to host the Wine & Design concept at the Applebee’s location. Applebee’s partnering with Wine & Design proved to give potential consumers a safe and friendly place for this gathering, which is well known, while also obtaining a sense of closure that an established company such as Applebee’s is promoting this up and coming business.
