Restaurant business is one of the oldest known to man and to a large extent is still an art and will remain so in future. System and practices make the job of managing a hotel or restaurant much similar, but the human element is difficult to systemize. The field of restaurant business is interdisciplinary. It draws up economics, psychology, management, food technology, architecture and marketing clustered together. It is a business of hospitality. Multan is one of the oldest cities of Pakistan and is expanding everyday. The trend of the people of Multan is drifting extensively towards modern means of socializing and relaxation. Therefore, while starting our business, we want to introduction a revolution in the business of restaurant. international We plan to introduce the a restaurant require of no standard, KFC, name

S t r a t e g y

The operation strategy of our restaurant will be designed around the concepts of five senses. From our description research of the industry we found out that restaurant business is one of those rare services which touch all the five senses of human being. The food will cater to the sense of taste, music to the sense of sound, aroma of dishes to sense of smell, decor to the sense of sight and clean crockery, cutlery and environment in general to the sense of touch. Taking care of all five senses our customers would be the core of our strategy.

Structure of Management:
Our business is a partnership which includes 6 partners investing capital.

Once it is decided that we are getting into business the question arises that what is uncountable list of occupations the point is what kind of business to be done. The answer to this question may be found while considering following factors:

Government Policy:
The factor of government policy plays a major role in the success of any business. Before deciding to get into the business. One must also keep in mind the advantages and disadvantages of any business for the country. Earning money by keeping the interest of the country at stake should not be even thought of. The business must be chosen considering its benefit to the country, in the shape of taxes, revenues and over coming unemployment.

Number of Consumers:
This factor is also of vital importance. This

business only flourishes when the demand of that product or number of consumers is more. Thus, while choosing any business we must see the field which provides maximum number of consumers, so that the invested capital is not blocked or wasted.

Demand Of The Product:

Demand of the product by the user is also a key feature before choosing any business. If the chosen business in competition with others then one should not forget that profit is divided. However, by producing quality product, this factor could be dealt with properly and in our favour. One could fetch more business if demand of the product increases.

General Trend Of The Area:

One cannot do any business if it is started at a place where the trend of the people is not favorable. Therefore, before choosing the trend of people must be created for it. Hasty decisions should be avoided. See to the fact, that business place is located where one could fetch the consumers. So the trend of consumer is also important before selecting the business.

Budget Of Partners:
Before getting into business, the spirit should be high, but always keeping in mind that it should be planed within the available budget. It is an art to get maximum benefits by spending minimum resources. However, the element of risk and luck always becomes the major cause of success of business. Therefore, always plan business by keeping budget in mind.

Budget of Consumers:
The purchasing power and the real income of the consumer should be kept in mind before choosing business. By giving thorough study and elaborate

discussions on above-mentioned factors, we now have to choose business out of unlimited jobs one could get into. After loads of thinking and vast study, we all partners concluded that the business of opening an outlet of an International Franchise Restaurant could be the best for us. So we all decided to open a restaurant where the full range of eatables of international standard are provided on competitive rates. Since the occupants of the area, which is selected for this restaurant, have a lot of trend for hoteling, therefore, we sincerely hope and pray that this business would meet the required success.

The Scope Of The Project

The outlets of KFC all over the world and in Pakistan in cities like Lahore and Karachi are meeting with unlimited success day-by-day, resulting in expansion all over the world.

Since people have to eat, therefore, the business in eatables will not fail if properly looked after by a team of dedicated lot. In Multan, there are number of hotels and restaurants, cheap and expensive, but all these places are always filled with people of different class. We have felt that if conducted properly, this project could bring us luck. We have also carried out surveys and have found that almost 60% of the occupants have a trend of eating out with families and friends. Moreover, this business also benefits the government policies of unemployment also does not hinder the government polices. A lot of revenue is paid to the government in shape of excise duty and sales tax. As we have selected one of the best spots in Multan, therefore, we are sure that we will be able to compete with other restaurants in surrounding areas. We are young, energetic and honest. We want to stand on our feet; we want to bright in our future with respect and dignity. With our honest efforts, we are positive that this project will be able to meet the success. We strongly believe that if success has to be met, then we will have to put in our best and honest efforts to provide our food to the entire satisfaction of consumers. We believe that we can make a difference, we will demonstrate personal pride and commitment in everything we do. We have a passion for making things better and we have a positive outlook. We know working as team always gets the best results. We will by the grace of God work with all our zeal and enthusiasm. By considering all above-mentioned factors of our project, it is quite evident that we will compete in the

market. The scope of our project is good and the results will be prolific. The location of business spot is already been mentioned which appears to be the best in Multan. We intend covering our clients from all part of the city mainly from cantonment area. The rest from Gulgasht, Bosan Road, New Multan and Railway Colony. In future we plan to introduce more outlets of KFC in different areas of Multan.

So the total revenue per month is Rs. 1690000

Break-even Point:
The break-even point is the point where the total revenue is equal to the total cost. This point shows that after how much time we can get our profit.

Break-even point : Cost

C(x) = R(x)

= Fixed Cost + Variable Cost = 18572100 + 650075 (x) where x = months

18572100 + 650075x = 1690000 (x) 1690000x 650075x = 18572100 1039925x x = 18572100 = 17.9

So we can achieve our break-even point in 17 months and 28 days.

A s s u m p t i o n s

Our restaurant will remain opened for the full week and also during special holidays like Eid, 14 th August, etc.
