1.0 Executive summary
Pizza palace is a new player in the restaurant industry of Saint-Pierre. Bolstered by
the need for morechoices in family-oriented dining experiences, combined with
the option for home-delivery, therestaurant is positioned to take advantage of
the market need and serve the people of Saint-Pierre.
It is Pizza Palace’s strategy to exploit the first
-mover opportunity and establish itself as the preferredpizza provider to the area.
We believe a locally-owned restaurant is the best option to serve the
rapidlygrowing population with a fresh, unique menu.This business plan calls for
an exciting, profitable start-up year ahead with future forecasted growth aswe
meet the demands of the community. In all, this plan describes a healthy
company with goodgrowth prospects, looking to manage its orderly growth in the
near future.
2.0 The Business
2.1 The Opportunity
Mauritius being a multicultural country is open to all types of cuisine. Italian
cuisine, most particularlyPizza is much appreciated by Mauritians of all age
groups. It can be noted that branches of Pizzahut andDebonairs, the most popular
pizzerias in Mauritius, are found in urban areas and in some rural areas.Hence for
one living in an area where no such pizzeria is available, one has to travel to urban
areas orrather long distances in order to eat a slice of Pizza.Saint-Pierre is such
one example. The pizza lovers of Saint-Pierre have always been wondering how
greatit would be to have a pizzeria providing nice pizzas in the locality- the genesis
of my decision to open apizzeria in Saint-Pierre
, “Pizza Palace”.
Being the first and only pizzeria in Saint-
Pierre, this business is bound to benefit from first mover’s
advantages and its potential for growth is almost certain.

because these are the types of people whofrequent other restaurants and snacks

dining and service at a value price. We generally know the characteristics of
ourclientele with the available demographics.In the pizza delivery business,
aggressive marketing is the key. Typically, having a pizza delivered to yourhome is
an impulse purchase. This requires a strong advertising campaign including direct
mailers andcoupons placed in newspapers.Additionally, Pizza Palace will develop
strategic marketing campaigns to target adolescents andemployees from nearby
offices.

will operate every months.Should any one chef fall sick, this might cause
disruptions in the normal kitchen activities. To avoid this,a working plan should be
organized.Troubles in the importation of the ingredients would affect the sales of
our pizza. In this case, localingredients of high quality will be used. Some local
suppliers have already been identified.An ongoing review of the risk factors will
be undertaken in order to be able to ensure the smoothrunning of the business.
