The text below is a copy of
the Espera Center website consulted in 2001.
The tetravalent code is a set of
rules, often implicit rather than explicit, that determine who we
are and what we do.
It is made up of four different but complementary types of rules: The tetravalent
code, as it appeared on official Sbarro and Espace Sbarro
brochures
The tetravalent code is, and I
quote, made up of four rules:
The Conceptual
code: describes, explains and prescribes the logic of our
thoughts and actions.
The Technical
code: describes, explains and prescribes what is
technically and methodically correct in our thoughts and
actions.
The
Aesthetic code: describes, explains and prescribes what is
formally aesthetically perfect in our thoughts and actions.
The Ethical
Code: describes, explains and prescribes what is ethically
correct in our thoughts and actions.
