Topic: Review of one of UCF’s full service restaurants Wackadoo’s

The audience for my review of Wackadoo’s would be students that go to the University of Central Florida and don’t want to only eat fast food, alumni of the university that are coming back, professors that need a bite to eat between teaching, family members that are here for family weekend or visiting their student on campus and people who enjoy a good food of all kinds in general. Also, the menu at Wackadoo’s is mainly burgers, wings and sandwiches, so the diners at this restaurant don’t want anything fancy, just a good “American” style meal.

It’s important to the audience that they’re getting the most out of their meal for the money they’re paying. Most of the people that will be eating at this restaurant are middle class Americans. They want to read about if the food is good enough to take the time to stop by and eat there or if they should go to one of the cheaper and faster restaurants on campus. They will have to have good food that doesn’t cost a fortune and good service. The people who are eating here and would read my review have feelings on all aspects of social issues. No matter whether you are republican or democrat, it doesn’t affect whether you like food or not.

The friends of my audience will also be interested in my review of Wackadoo’s. A lot of the students that go to the University of Central Florida will probably have friends that also go to the university or have their friends come visit them on campus. Last year when my friend was attending UCF and I came to visit he didn’t have a car, so we were only limited to restaurants that were nearby or on campus. Also, the friendly-casual environment of the eatery will invite students to come and have a good time by playing on the pool tables or on the video games that are located on the right side of the restaurant. If they were having an event held at Wackadoo’s or if students that go to UCF didn’t know what the restaurant is it could hurt them socially. Students will need to walk through the student union at least once or twice a week to make sure they are up to date on any events or specials that are going on at Wackadoo’s.

The benefits of reading my review would be that my audience wants to know if it’s worth their time and money to go out to eat at Wackadoo’s. There are so many restaurants on the University of Central Florida campus and all around East Orlando, what would take them to come to eat at Wackadoo’s instead. I will need to show people that the food and the atmosphere are friendly, and that people should think about staying on campus to eat other then leaving to one of the many local eateries.
