Building a customer base for a restaurant is more complicated than simply opening your
doors,cooking great meals, and hoping your friends and neighbors come to eat. Our restaurant
consist of both veg and non-veg items.
For a memorable meal the quality of the service is something that guest often remember as
much as the food and drink served, that means the restaurant servers must show extensive
knowledge of all types of cuisine and dishes, especially the ingredients and cooking style of

1.ImproveCustomers’ Experience
Market research will give us the framework to tackle any “blind spots” in our customer
experience. We can assume there will always room for improvement in this area.
2.RemainonTrend
The restaurant can gain a competitive advantage by either building an appreciative following
that is passionate about a particular style or a quality of food, by offering basic sustenance in
a way that is especially convenient or affordable.
There are two types of market research: qualitative and quantitative research.
Qualitative research isn’t about numbers ,it’s about thoughts and opinions. Its all about how
the restaurant uses to explore and understand peoples beliefs,experiences,attitudes,behavior
and interactions.
Quantitative research: Quantitative research is most important for all the restaurants which
generates numerical data or data that can be converted into numbers for a statistical review.

MARKETING PLAN
1) FOODIE PHOTOS
The very best way to promote restaurant online is with high quality,including photos.
Visual content is in high demand online these days,and having delicious looking photos on
websites and across social media outlets is essential for drawing hungry eyes.Consider hiring
a pro to take some topnotch your smartphone.Be tougher than it looks, as lighting is often a
key factor.
2) LOYALTY PROGRAM
3) YELP
Yelp has tremendous power in the restaurant industry, and having a strong backing of
positive yelp reviews is like having a flock of golden geese reviews from yelp can do wonders
for your business.

The other big thing to keep in mind when it comes to yelp is how you handle feedback. Its
great to thank yelpers for their review,whether positive or negative.
For most restaurants, local is the name of the game. Most folks are looking for good
eats close to home, and you’ll get the most value out of your online marketing efforts by
investing primarily in Geo-targeting ads. Geo-targeting ads help us to money,ensuring that
only users in certain cities or within a specific radius see ads. Many online advertising
services, from google ads to Facebook and twitter, offer Geo-targeting and ad options( at no
extra cost )
BE AN INSTA-HAM
User generated content is a great way to develop personal and intimate engagement
with users. Host a photo contest by asking customer to share their favorite meal at your
establishment, and share the entries on a dedicated content page. Consider awarding some
random lucky contestants with a free appetizer or other prize
Social media marketing strategies are an undeniable force in today’s world. Pamphlets
and delivery menus slipped under doorways simply wont cut it anymore. Often, the
restaurants with a strong social media presence as part of their restaurant marketing plan are
the ones that fare the best, and in the competitive food industry,ignoring social media is a
death sentence . of course we need create a Facebook business page and a twitter account to
share special discounts, exclusive coupons, photos of new dishes, and promote own news
accolades. But setting up account is only half the job its also essential that we keep up with
activity happening on our social sites.
9
SET UP GOOGLE ALERTS
Google alerts will notify us when our business name appears in a new piece of content
on the web. This makes it easy to keep tabs on who is talking about you and your accolades.
START A BLOG
Starting our own blog is a great way to build community and engage with customers.
Blogs offer the chance to experiment with our restaurants voice and personality, funny
stories,recipes,and anything else we think that might interest our customers. A blog can be a
huge project, but it doesn't have to be. Keep your blog as simple or complex as you’d like.
You don’t have to be constantly posting, but its good to have our restaurant blog set up for
when we have an announcement or news we want to get out to the world.
FOOD BLOGGER OUTREACH
When it is a new restaurant, we may find it difficult to generate reviews and hype
about our business. One great way to get reviews and press on the web is to get invite food
bloggers to restaurant, consider offering a free meal at their door steps. Politely ask if they’d
be willing to review our restaurant and share their experience online. We can’t outright ask
for a positive review,as that would be dishonest, but its fine to simply ask them for an
objective restaurant review. Some bloggers might decline your offer, but the more we ask ,the
better our chances are of getting some positive feedback and generating more interest online
Some food bloggers have big followings, and getting their attention can have a huge
influence on our own restaurant. Even just one write up or mention from a major foodie can
be huge for restaurant promotion efforts.
Offering discounts for online store which is part of restaurant is a powerful weapon to
drive customer loyalty.The people likes to prefer to buy food while restaurant provides offer
coupons and discounts.

CHAPTER 6
OPERATIONS PLAN
A restaurant operations manual is a list of tasks that are essential to our business success, how
to do these tasks, and who is responsible for the functions listed. It will be a comprehensive
collection of guidelines,duties, and such other information that every employee needs to
know. It will act as a reference guide so employees can quickly check this document if they
need to know something.
Some processes that restaurants must include are:
11
CHAPTER 7
Corporate or local owners are ultimately in control of the restaurant. They are the ones who
stand to make or lose the most due to the success or failure of the restaurant. The owners
usually are responsible for hiring the management team for a restaurant and may also choose
the executive chef. There is an expectation that the ownership's policy information will be
passed all the way down the chain of restaurant command.
The general manager is responsible for the day-to day-decision-making of the restaurant.
They are often responsible for scheduling and payroll paperwork as well as sales
accounting and money counting. The general manager does most of the restaurant's hiring
and firing.
The general manager must also stay in regular contact with ownership to both relay
information and request guidance.
The Executive Chef
In a restaurant hierarchy, the executive chef is the manager of the entire kitchen. They are
responsible for the products coming into the kitchen from vendors and suppliers. Executive
chefs report directly to the general manager about inventory and ordering. The executive chef
is also responsible for menu design and all the meals that leave the kitchen.
Executive chefs are usually consulted in the interview process for all kitchen help. They
take responsibility for all the decisions made in the kitchen regarding everything from
quality control to nightly specials.

CHAPTER - 8
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
Creating a financial forecast for a restaurant is the closest we are going to get to seeing the
future of our business. The cost is for the ingredients and products needed to make the menu
items ( oil, meat, vegetables, chicken, fish, drinks) as well as cooking materials
( pans,bowls,plates, utensils, etc). A significant cost driver is the fine dining equipment,
serving dishes. Other cost drivers will be the overhead expenses of payroll for the employees,
accounting firm,and cost of the advertising agency.
The funding will be dedicated for the build-out and design of the restaurant, kitchen,
as well as cooking supplies and equipment, working capital, three months worth of payroll
expenses and opening inventory. The breakout of the funding is below:
Kitchen - 150000
Furniture - 100000
Billing+ PC - 50000
Disposable - 50000
Music system - 25000
Working capital - 200000
Marketing - 100000
Inventory - 50000
Licensing - 50000
Pay roll expenses - 100000
If we don’t have enough fund or credit cards, but our growing business needs
additional funding- all is not lost. Here I consider inviting family to invest in the company
with the understanding that their money may not be returned. In most cases, these friends and
family are not inviting in you, not our business. Both parties should think of this investment
as a grant with no strings attached .
Bank loan
In growing stages of business might need to take bank loan for various needs ,
including operating capital and long tern growth. Bank loans are also considered a great way
to get the initial investment for restaurants and working capital for our restaurant
business.bank loans require a lot of documents and paper work. But if there is a proper
business plan and suitable collateral bank loans can be easy to get .
Self funding
13
The best way to get investment for restaurants to start our own business is with our
own money.however this should be the case only if we are very clear about idea,concept, and
the format we planned to start. The restaurant business has many risks,and it is advised that
anyone who is intends to enter the food business should use his/her personnel savings.

CONCLUSION
A restaurant business is hard work and takes considerable time to establish the brand.
Location,controlling cost of inputs and marketing are a few important focus areas. The startup
entrepreneurs passion for food or expertise in cooking or having a special recipe alone cannot
guarantee success. Franchising route can help in minimizing the time to establish and provide
reasonable chance of success with a established brand name. Food aggregators online
business is gaining traction. Branding and promotion with strong loyalty/CRM programme
should be carried out. Social media presence and managing news coverage are also important.
Nowadays Food Industries is one of the largest industries in the world. Every corner
of the globe has a food business so we conduct this thesis paper. We all know that if a
business has a good customer service it can ensure you that profit will be made because it is a
key factor that can determined the success rate of a business.
The food processing industry sector in India is one of the largest in terms of
production, consumption,export and growth prospects. The government has accorded it a high
priority, with a number of fiscal reliefs and incentives, to encourage commercialization and
value addition to agricultural produce.
From the above report which discusses about the customer preferences for
restaurants , it can be concluded that opening of restaurant is a profitable business. Since the
organization who proposes to open the restaurant is an opportunity to earn huge profits. The
evaluation of financial viability of the project also suggests that the project is financially
viable since the restaurant is making profits .
