MARKET ANALYSIS
The restaurant industry is a large and diverse business: Restaurant-industry sales are forecast
is the sector is expected to achieve a growth rate of 7.00% which is higher than previous year
(6.83%).
4.1 Industry Analysis
Eating and Drinking Places Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of prepared
food and drinks for on-premise or immediate consumption This industry comprises
establishments primarily engaged in providing food services to patrons who order and are
served while seated (i.e., waiter/waitress services) and pay after eating. These establishments
may provide food services to patrons in combination with selling alcoholic beverages,
providing carry out services, or presenting live nontheatrical entertainment.
Demographics, consumer tastes, and personal income drive demand. The profitability of
individual companies can vary; Large companies have advantages in purchasing, finance, and
marketing. Small companies can offer superior food or service. The industry is labor-
intensive. (First Research)
Wages form a significant proportion of operating costs. The existence of a statutory
minimum wage in most states increases the need for players to keep other costs as lean as
possible, which in turn increases the importance of suppliers. A slight complication is that in
some states, foodservice employers are able to treat tips received by their staff as contributing
to their wages; in such states, this policy reduces the impact of the minimum wage from the
employers' perspective. (Data Monitor)
Annual revenue per worker is less than $50,000.
Restaurants compete with companies that serve meals or prepared foods, including grocery
stores, warehouse clubs, delis, and convenience stores. In addition, restaurants compete with
home cooking.

Companies carefully manage inventory of perishable food products, such as fresh seafood
and dairy goods, to reduce losses due to spoilage.
Computerized information systems can improve and link food preparation and serving
operations. Touch screen ordering programs ensure accurate communication of customer
orders. Timing systems monitor meal progress and can alert staff if an order is running
behind schedule. Reservations programs maximize traffic flow and seating. Inventory
management systems track supply levels and can help reduce waste due to spoilage. Cost
accounting programs help companies determine the profitability of individual menu items.
Handheld point-of-sale (POS) devices allow servers to place orders and print checks
tableside, improving accuracy and reducing ordering time. Some handhelds can also print
customer checks and process credit card payments. (First Research)

4.3 Target Market Segment Strategy
Choosing the target market is a part of marketing strategy formulation, the other two parts
being positioning and marketing mix formulation. Without right targeting, the firm cannot
formulate an effective strategy. It is through careful segmentation and targeting that firm pick
up right group of consumers. Also, it is through this process that the firm gain vital
knowledge about the need and buying behaviour of the consumer in each segment and the
differences between one segment and the other. In other words, segmentation and targeting
help the firm not only the characteristics of each of the segments but also the ‘distinctive
excellence’ that is required for catering to the specific needs of the consumers in each of
them. Another strategy whose use is increasing is individual marketing, in which the
marketing mix is tailored on an individual consumer basis. While in the past impractical,
individual marketing is becoming more viable thanks to advances in technology.
4.3.1 Market Trends
According to the National Restaurant Association, the top 10 trends for are:

The chains have tried to create home-style restaurants but where they have failed is in the
personal aspect of the business. The POS system known as “The Expediter” used to monitor
inventories and time meals has replaced one of the most important aspects of a restaurant –
the friendliness of the staff! And in light of this, a handful of chain restaurants are beta testing
self-pay tables!
This company believes that the restaurant industry is a great place to begin one’s career or
pursue full-time. In fact, according to the Restaurant Association, nearly half of all adults
have worked in the restaurant industry at some point during their lives, and more than one out
of four adults got their first job experience in a restaurant.

MENU PLANNING
8.1 Create a Menu
The menu can make or break a restaurant, and should be in accordance with the overall
concept of the restaurant. Revisit business plan to make sure the menu is attractive to the
target market, is affordable within budget, and complements restaurant's design concept. For
example, if a restaurant is family-friendly, customer will need a kids menu. If an upscale
establishment, a lot of thought will have to go into wine list. A restaurant menu should be
original. Well, kind of. The ideal restaurant menu offers a balance of unique dishes and old
favorites.
8.2 Restaurant Menu Tips and Tricks
Taking a few simple steps to plan, organize, and design menu can make a world of difference
to restaurant’s success. Here are 20 ideas that can help to take restaurant menu to the next
level.
1. Organize Menu Logically.
Don’t make customers perform a scavenger hunt when just want to eat. Make it easy for them
to find what customer want by organizing in a way that makes sense—appetizers first,
desserts last, etc.
2. Give Best Dishes The Best Placement.
This might seem obvious, but don’t hide star items. Put them front and center where they’re
easy to find! Customer’s eyes are most often drawn to the upper right hand corner or the
center of the page, so consider placing the biggest sellers in those locations.
3. Be Resourceful.
Add a few different toppings or a new sauce and have an entirely different menu item
without adding much cost.

4. Create Something Special.
Lots of menus feature pizza, sandwiches, or salads, so make stand out. Try tweaking a classic
by adding a signature change that fits restaurant’s brand.
5. Keep Language Simple.
The Menu Language should be Simple & Short but keep the focus on food, not words.
6. Keep It Manageable.
Simply put, one restaurant can’t possibly excel at every dish on a ten page menu. Customers
would rather choose from 10 amazing dishes than 100 so-so ones.
7. Update When Need To.
Food prices and availability change—so should menu! Feel free to remove something that’s
become too costly or to add in a few seasonal vegetables.
8. Choose The Right Visuals.
Don’t decorate menu with generic clip-art; this is distracting and doesn’t add much for
customers. Food photography is tricky, so might want to consider hiring a professional
photographer.
9. Proofread!
Don’t just rely on spell-check; be sure to have multiple pairs of eyes look for errors.
10. Keep It Short.
Remember, writing a menu, not a novel. Of course want to include relevant information that
will make dishes sound delicious, but make sure descriptions don’t get too long.

11. Pay Attention To Color.
Does restaurant have a theme? For example, a quiet French bistro would probably choose
different colors than a boisterous Mexican place.
12. Watch the Fonts.: Never, ever use a font that’s hard to read! If customers can’t read the
menu, they won’t order anything off of it.
13. Don’t Laminate: Once menu is laminated, stuck with it (unless want to do some costly
reprints). Probably want to change menu at least once a year, so use plastic covers that make
it easy to slide in a new menu.
14. Get Feedback.: Have some customers read over menu and give their honest opinions.
Does everything sound good!
15. Restaurant Menu Should Be Versatile: This simply means that no item on the menu
should stand alone. If offer a fresh lobster roll, be sure to include lobster in other dishes as
well.
16. Use Numbers If Need Them.
Customers might be reluctant to order something they can’t pronounce, so consider
numbering meals to make it easier on them.
17. Offer A Variety Of Prices.
Of course it would be great if every customer ordered most expensive menu item, but have to provide
choices for people with smaller budgets. Try including some sandwiches with steaks.
18. Don’t Be Afraid To Change Products Prices.
Creating a great restaurant menu doesn’t have to be hard–just keep customers in mind. By creating a
menu that’s engaging and easy-to-read while also reflecting restaurant’s brand, put restaurant on the
right track!

8.3 Know About Customer Service
An integral part of any restaurant is its customer service. Customer service covers many
different parts of restaurants day to day operations, going far beyond the front of the house
staff.
1. The Customer is Always Right.
This is the golden rule of business. Even if think the customer is wrong never, ever, tell them
that. Be understanding and empathetic and take the time to listen to their complaint or
suggestion. Problems will inevitably arise in even the best of restaurants- it’s how handling
them that will determine if customer return or go elsewhere.
2. Good Customer Service Involves the Entire Restaurant Staff.
While the front of the house is the face customers see, customer service includes everyone,
from the maintenance crew to the cooks in the kitchen. Clean rest rooms, good food, a
friendly and inviting atmosphere are all components of good customer service, in which
every restaurant employee plays a role.
3. Don’t Overbook Reservations.
If restaurant takes reservations, be careful how close together book them. Restaurant
reservations, when done correctly, allow to spread out seating’s and keep the kitchen out of
the weeds.
4. Understand How Restaurant Tipping Works.
A good gauge of customer satisfaction is how well tip at the end of a meal. Some restaurants
choose to pool tips; others keep it separate among servers. For large parties or catered events,
some gratuity is automatically added.
5. Don’t Skimp on Customer Appreciation.

6. Always Ask for Customer Feedback.
Offering a customer comment card at the end of a meal is an opportunity to gain valuable
feedback, both positive and negative, about restaurant.
7. Know How to Handle Disruptive Customers.
Occasionally may have to deal with a customer who has had too much to drink or is in some
other way acting out. Be sure staff know how to effectively and safely deal with disruptive
customers. One key strategy is to stop serving alcohol immediately if a person shows signs of
intoxication.
8. Teach Restaurant Staff the 10 Common Customers Service.
Susan A. Friedmann, has compiled a list of 10 commandments every business should know
these commandments can all be adapted to the restaurant industry.
9. Use Social Media to Enhance Customer Service.
Social network sites like Facebook and Twitter offer an easy and free way to reach out to
customers. Post daily and nightly specials on wall, “like” customers status updates and set up
invites to restaurant events. https://www.thebalance.com/restaurant-customer-service-
