I think that the Santa Fe Grill case had appeared to show use of the inductive process of the scientific process. This is because there had been observations made about the probable customers of Santa Fe Grill in Dallas, Texas. There had also been conduction of surveys to confirm specific characteristics like demographics and psychographics of customers of competitors of Santa Fe Grill. There had been observation of the behavioral patterns of the employees of Santa Fe Grill. Therefore, there had not been any assumptions made by the owners of Santa Fe Grill as would have been done when using deductive process before starting a restaurant.
