Business Plan Sugoi Rest
Research for Sugoi Restaurant started on April 1, 2018. The intention of this restaurant
was to provide empowerment for ourselves while providing ramen noodles for the
Guyanese public in and around Georgetown.
Ramen originated in China, then traveled to Japan in the early 1900s, where shotgun
shops sprang up to serve businessmen and women on their lunch breaks. Whether in
summer or winter, the Japanese stood at counters with their mouths hovering over
bowls of piping hot soup.
Guyana, then, is about 100 years behind this trend, but we are fully embraced it now. In
Georgetown where our main dish almost always is meat served with some form of rice
or it is burgers with fries. This variation of ramen noodles that we will be offering at
Sugoi Restaurant will be something different for all our Guyanese.
Guyana is in a place of transition at present. People from different cultures are coming
into our country daily for different purposes.
At Sugoi Restaurant we will be providing people with the option of moving away from
the mundane lunch and try our variations of ramen noodles and soups.
A proper bowl of ramen can still prove elusive. In its simplest form, three components
make or break a bowl of ramen: the broth (made from chicken, fish, pork, or a
combination of all three), the noodles (from thick and straight to curly and thin), and
the toppings (seaweed, pork, soft-boiled egg, scallions, corn, ground meat, bamboo
shoots, and fish cakes). We will be offering all of these at Sugoi Restaurant.
Apart from serving healthy, delicious ramen noodles we also be serving these meals in a
timely manner. Very often we go to buy lunch at restaurants and end up waiting almost
three quarters of an hour just to be served. Our customers will be served in a prompt
manner.
Further, our customers will have the option of deciding how they will prefer their
Ramen. This is Guyana and we have observed that majority of Guyanese like to have
variation of their meals. They will be able to ‘creolize’ their ramen to their unique taste
buds.
Personal Goals
We are a group of working young individuals who are always on the go. We found that
we do not always have time to prepare our meals. Hence, the ramen shop. This is where
we will offer individuals affordable and tasty ramen noodle of all flavours. Our personal
goal is to share our love for great food with the public. We define our personal success
as a balance of healthy eating, exercise and doing meaningful work.
A recent study coming out of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has shown that
Guyana has a youth unemployment rate of about 40%. Hence we have decided to
establish Sugoi Restaurant to curb the unemployment situation for ourselves. At the
same time providing the public with tasty and affordable meals.
Business Vision
Sugoi Restaurant is dedicated to providing a unique platform for ramen noodle for the
Guyanese population and empowering youths through the creation of employment.
