1. Think about the shopping area near your home. Assume that you wish to start a
business here and are looking for a promising opportunity for a restaurant. Is there an
opportunity to open a distinctive and promising business? Describe your target
market and how you would serve it differently than current businesses do?

Imus City is one of the rural areas in Cavite. Different establishments and
infrastructures are swept through Imus that makes it the “Retail Capital” of Cavite. With that
being said, businesses are boundless which makes their marketing strategies and styles
comparable and not peculiar. If I were to start a business, I will make a promising and
distinctive business by researching how my business will differ from others. That includes
knowing who is my target market, how much it costs, how will I reach my customers, and
how will I sell my products can make a difference since I will have an idea to change some
parts of my business that are similar to others.

Since then the pandemic started, ages 21 up to 59 are the only ones who can go out.
As a teenager, it’s frustrating that even if I wanted to buy food for myself, I cannot. The food
delivery applications are very useful, with just one click with your phone, you can already
place an order and have it delivered to your house. But not everyone has access to these
applications and these applications take up a lot of data connection. A restaurant or shop
that serves good food and beverages that can be dined in, taken-out, or placed an order and
have it delivered at your place through the use of Facebook is an alternative.
2. Have you ever visited a hotel, restaurant, or other hospitality business? Recall the
time that you are there, what is your experience? Write down what you think are the
strengths and weaknesses of the businesses. You can write what you have observed
about elements such as location, physical facilities, employee attitude, quality of
products, the reputation of the brand (if it is a brand), and other factors.

I’ve been into numerous hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses around
the Philippines and I noticed that they are really paying attention when it comes to providing
the best service - they work hard and efficiently to make your stay enjoyable and feel relaxed
as possible, staffs are polite - fulfilling and providing all the request right away, the amenities
and facilities - are beautiful, clean, modern, and cozy.

Hospitality businesses are a flexible industry that handles irregularity relatively easily,
helps employment since operating a hospitality business requires a lot of manpower, and
non-substitutable for the reason that people will never stop eating and traveling and being a
sector that is dependent on tourists, that makes it a great strength. Contrary to strengths are
weaknesses and one of the most known and acknowledged weaknesses of this industry is
the seasonality, for most of the hotels and resorts. Also, incompetent employees have a
below-average level of skills, knowledge, and proper working etiquettes.

Here in the Philippines, hospitality businesses are mostly in rural areas and places
that have wonderful tourist attractions for the reason that most people go there to unwind
and relieve all the tension from your whole being. The amenities and facilities of hospitality
businesses are doing their best to provide the finest service they could offer. When it comes
to employees’ attitudes, they are giving their fullest effort in providing the needs and wants of
customers with a genuine smile.
