Note

The most important thing to do before you open a breakfast restaurant is to carry out its accurate marketing analysis. It helps to decide the company’s strategies over the next years. It must be incorporated in the bed and breakfast business plan and all subsequent things must be plan according to it. Considering its importance, Mr. Vent obtained the services of marketing experts to help him develop a bed and breakfast business plan taking in account the current marketing demands.

As per current market, breakfast industry is seen with a tremendous increase over the last years and is expected to increase steadily in the future. According to the NPD Group, the open breakfast places have increased by about 17% in the last 6 years. Moreover, this industry is not affected by any season or time of the year so we can say that its market demand is quite high.

The success or failure a startup totally depends upon how they market themselves to target their specific customer groups. A successful marketing strategy can only be developed after knowing the target audience and potential customers. Mr. Vent has carried out an extensive research with marketing experts to know their target customers and focus their marketing strategy towards them before they open a breakfast restaurant.

5.1 Marketing Segmentation

The marketing experts from The Food Court have identified following type of target audience which can become the potential customers of the company.

The detailed marketing segmentation comprising of the company’s target audience is as follows:

Business Plan for Investors

5.1.1 General Traffic:

Our customers are very diverse and it is very difficult to categorize them. General traffic refers to those customers who happen to be near our restaurant and decides to have their breakfast here. This category includes all those people who have come to our area for their own tasks and activities. As we discussed already that we are situated in the main commercial district of Manhattan which is visited by several thousands of people daily. This general traffic is very diverse and comprises of people from different nationalities, hence we will offer the traditional foods of their regions to make them feel like home.

5.1.2 Companies and Businesses:

This category includes all employees working in the various office, companies and businesses situated near us. Most of these workers are single and usually rely on restaurants like us for their daily breakfast. We will be the perfect choice for them for having a variety of breakfasts of several regions at their disposal. Some of these people, which are not single, are very busy in their routines and most of the time they don’t even have time to take breakfast in their homes. We will prepare special packages for these busy people which can be easily consumed while walking. The employees of these companies and businesses will eat our breakfasts on a daily basis.

5.1.3 Local Residents:

Although we are situated in a commercial zone yet the resident zone is also not too far. We also aim to target the local residents residing in nearby areas. We are sure that once they have tasted our traditional offerings, they will turn into our regular customers.

The detailed market analysis of our potential customers is given in the following table:

Market Analysis
Potential Customers Growth YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 YEAR 4 YEAR 5 CAGR
General Traffic 38% 11,433 13,344 16,553 18,745 20,545 13.43%
Companies and Businesses 44% 22,334 32,344 43,665 52,544 66,432 10.00%
Local Residents 18% 8,322 9,455 10,655 12,867 14,433 15.32%
Total 100% 42,089 55,143 70,873 84,156 101,410 9.54%

5.2 Business Target

Our target is to become the best breakfast restaurant of New York within next 5 years of launch. We also aim to recover our initial capital within 3 years of our launch and grow our sales by 20% each year. At our restaurant, we will also provide a top-notch customer service. Our every employee and waiter will treat our customers with utmost respect so as to build a long-lasting relationship with them.

5.3 Product Pricing

Product pricing is the most important factor affecting the sales of a bed and breakfast business. People are really picky about menu prices while selecting a place to eat. In order to revive the traditional foods and to make sure that a lot of people will be attracted towards us we have priced our basic American menu in the same range as of our competitors. But the traditional packages of other countries are slightly costlier because they require a lot of effort and imported materials.

Strategy

After carrying out an accurate market analysis, Mr. Vent created an exceptional strategy for business for targeting the identified potential customers. The sales strategy developed by him with the help of finance experts, is as follows:

6.1 Competitive Analysis:

The Food Court will have a tough competition ahead because there are thousands of already established breakfast restaurants in Manhattan so the average cost of breakfast will be kept nearly the same as of other similar restaurants. Moreover, people are always hesitant to try a new restaurant and are more willing to dine in their usual trusted restaurants. That’s why something innovative and extraordinary is needed to stand out in this challenging environment.

6.2 Sales Strategy

Mr. Vent, with the help of company experts, has developed an ingenious strategy to advertise his new venture and to make sure that everyone gets a taste of what he has to offer. Firstly, we will offer free breakfasts for the first three days of our launch. We will also send our breakfast packages to the various companies, offices and bed and breakfast business plan near us, so that they may also get to know the taste of our unique and delicious foods. We will offer free-delivery services to encourage sales for local residents businesses. We will advertise our restaurant and menu on social media and will also allow users to order their food or reserve their table by means of online channels.

6.3 Sales Forecast

We believe that if people try our delicious and healthy traditional foods, they will then eat them for the rest of their lives. That’s why we have forecasted our sales pattern to increase with years. By analyzing our market segmentation strategy, our experts have forecasted the following sales on yearly basis which are summarized in the column charts.
