Moulin Rouge: a diner theatre

Executive Summary
Moulin Rouge will be a restaurant and exciting Dinner Show located in Delhi that celebrates the era of cultural refinement, social elegance, and general prosperity in the last decades of the 19th and first decade of the 20th centuries. The exuberance of the "Gay 90s" era will be rekindled as we model our restaurant on the establishments of the Montmartre district of Paris such as the famous Moulin de la Galette. The decor will be similar to that of the restaurant/dance hall/theatres of 1890s, and feature artwork of the Impressionists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Mary Cassat, and Berthe Morisot. Hosting and serving staff will dress in period costume.

Our menu is a varied, international, tasteful extravaganza. Each page is highly illustrated with artists' drawings of the regional cuisine, a tiny map of the world showing the region and indigenous ingredients. The majority of the menu is the cuisine of France, and America, though we will offer specialties from Japan, Korea, Phillipines, Italy, Germany, France, Mexico, Spain, Belgium and Middle East. A few pages are devoted to White House and Camp David stylings where Chef Joachim served the First Family. We will offer a 10 item wine card "By the Glass Daily Selection", wines by the bottle, and a special cellar collection. Moulin Rouge is the first in what hopefully will become a chain of similarly themed restaurants. It offers a new and exciting concept that is already being done in other successful era's such as, "Capitan Hook" www.capitanhook.com and "Medieval Times" www.medievaltimes.com. These concepts are expanding with cash driven proofs of winning financial operation. Originally laughed at and stereotyped as ridiculous for a dining concept, these outlets are reaching new potential and breaking previously set sales figures. Medieval Times started as a single location and opened its eighth restaurant and show in March, 2004. We aim to attract customers from the same market niche, but with a Impressionist/Moulin Rouge theme. 1.1 Mission Moulin Rouge offers an impressive, blockbuster revue of international food, fare and drink centered around the high culture and exuberant night life of the Montmartre district of 19th century Paris. Our combination is wonderful food and Impressionist history. This revue also includes our shows, acts, skits, original music and entertainment for the customer - whom we live to impress and make happy. In each and every facet of all that we do - the focus remains on the customer. Likewise, our employees never work "for us" - rather they work "with us" - and as such - they are our customers also. We are all serving each other in some capacity. Our focus includes community service, involvement and family. We will always be deeply involved with the community and people of Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge is also an excellent place to work, a professional environment that is challenging, rewarding, creative, and respectful of ideas and individuals. Moulin Rouge ultimately provides excellent value to its customers and fair reward to its owners and employees.

1.2 Keys to Success 1. Production of a high quality menu and superior ingredient sourcing. 2. Training of a crack workforce, with paper lists that detail daily actions, and managerial follow-up that ensures winning goals are completed. Food production books, recipes, management routine, records and returns will be detailed. 3. Practice by dinner show participants and actors will produce a fantastic show. Continued excellence in performance will come in diversity of workforce training and a, "Qualification Card," system - similar to the system successfully used by the U.S. Navy. 4. Distribution of some profits to the workforce will breed cyclical results that exceed first five year goals. 5. Unusual interior design and outdoor landscaping. 6. Excellence in fulfilling the promise - reliable, trustworthy expertise in operation, leadership and management of the show and restaurants. 7. Developing visibility to generate new business leads. 8. Leveraging from a single pool of expertise into multiple revenue generation opportunities: bar, restaurant, catering, show, and events. Services Moulin Rouge offers a first-of-its-kind in the area entertainment and dining concept with excellent, tasty food. The interaction with live human actors from 1890s Paris is fascinating. The concept is not content to just deliver the service of good food and friendliness though. It offers colorful, haute culture actors by day, and an entertaining, optional Moulin de la Galette evening dinner show that will amaze and delight. Our table side service is extremely fun and unique. The wine bottle selection and daily, "by the glass," wine card will be in addition to our selection of beer on tap and fully stocked bar. The catering will also entertain and thrill customers (i.e. bringing the show to their event).

Market Segmentation We use this topic to explain the Market Analysis table and chart, below. Our analysis is based on a list of potential customer groups, each of which is a market segment. The family segment looking for fun on during the weekend.

The local residents looking to see something new or to take guests in town out to a great, proud place. Local residents are increasing with condominium ownership and increased building. Long distance drivers coming in especially to experience our dinner show. This last geographic segment will normally travel one driving day or up to 300 miles for a short weekend stay.

Competitive Edge Our competitive edge will be to cut wide open the competition with our amazing and exciting actors. We will be different from all others because of our creativity, presentation, marketing, advertising and delivery. We will stand out with sustainable value, something that we can maintain and develop over time - the transition from real life into fantasy escape. The competitive edge, that puts us ahead of most competitors is the opportunity to live and interact in history or another world. Stepping into our world will reveal discussion with people of the time and physically doing things with them - while enjoying a great meal and a show. The ultimate edge is that we allow people to be in our show and to walk a few hours or days in history's shoes. This is the opportunity for customers to gain instant fame on stage with the crowds cheering and clapping. That is a competitive edge, with benefit, that all humans dream of. But, beyond that, we also will offer the opportunity to live and work in our historic world for a reasonable price. Marketing Strategy Marketing will be our life blood of crowd draws and excitement. Our Marketing Strategy has been explained a bit already. Our Sales Strategy is the easiest of our plans. Our Marketing Strategy first and foremost is born out of three governing functions: 1. An indignant refusal to adopt typical high cost advertising schemes in print, television or internet campaigns. Throwing tens of thousands of dollars at billboards or magazines is a crutch for those less creative. The impact we can have with other creative means will be impressive. 2. "Beyond belief," word-of-mouth and first person character advertising. Guaranteed to affect image, awareness and propensity to buy. A meeting with one of our six historical Impressionist painters or with one of our Paris Opera or Ballet Prima Donna's will not be forgotten. 3. Ingenious strategic placement and appearance into market at the right time and stunning venue with our actors and, "Boulevardiers." One of the easiest ones is the strolling the promenade and boulevard by our high society Madames et Monsieur, handing out leaflets. Other events will include partnering with various wine and spirit distributors for special promotions. Sales Strategy Sales in our business is customer service. It is repeat business. One doesn't just sell a glass or bottle of wine and boost the check price, one develops a proposal that works for the client, that convinces him or her to crave the wine. Direct-in house sales classes will be held to teach staff how to "get in with the smile," "enjoy laughter with customers" and then go for the boost in the

check price by selling that dessert, beer or wine. We can also make money with our extensive selections of tea, coffee, cheese and cigars. With our innovative, drama sales platforms wallets will fly out of pants pockets and purses. Our independent tests and studies show that what sells most is human interaction and excitement. Paying attention to people, listening and talking with them, admiring their face and clothes - this adoration - this sales truth of genuine, heartfelt, over-the-top achievement - this is what makes dynamic drama sales happen. Our goal is extraordinary attention to reveal extraordinary sales. We must always be aware of the big-company feeder phenomenon of the split between selling the restaurant and failure to fulfill the sale with entertainment and luscious food, which leads to client dissatisfaction. The human sale should be developed and scoped, sold, and fulfilled by the same people. If you see, run over to meet and greet Impressionist painter Edgar Degas and his retinue of Paris Ballet dancers on the mall as you are shopping, then you expect to see him that night at the restaurant. Our customers should never buy into a sale from one partner and have it delivered by anybody other than that same partner. The promise shall be fulfilled.
