Al Oruba International school 1* Semester Peter’s Restaurants (PR) Peter has a successful restaurant business, called PR, which he set up 10 years ago. The business has a chain of 5 restaurants located in the centre of the main city, in high income areas. The business is in country Z which has had high levels of economic growth for the past 5 years. PR has increasing sales and profits. ‘The 5 restaurants are well-known for the good quality of the food, which is sold at high prices. Peter wants to expand the business and open a new restaurant with a takeaway service. He has written a business plan for this expansion. Peter thinks locating the new restaurant in an area with low incomes will be a new challenge for him. He also thinks there is a demand for takeaway food. These are meals that are prepared and then delivered to customers’ homes to be eaten there. Peter needs to decide which methods of sales promotion to use. ‘The new restaurant will need to employ 15 workers. There will be 3 chefs, 3 kitchen assistants, 5 people serving food, 3 delivery drivers and 1 office worker. Well-motivated employees will be important to the success of the new restaurant and takeaway food service. The expansion of the business should allow Peter to benefit from economies of scale. Peter is considering the following two locations for the new restaurant. Option 1: On a main road close to the city railway station. The area is very busy with many cars and buses passing by most of the day and evening. The cost of the building and changing it to a restaurant is $150000. The building is currently used as a warehouse. It s estimated that it will be 1 year before the restaurant will be ready to open Option 2: This is already a restaurant and will cost $150.000 to buy. It is located on a quiet road away from the city centre. The building is much smaller than Option 1 but is in a well-known and popular area for restaurants. The owner is only selling it because he wants to retire. It is estimated that it will take Peter 6 months to redecorate and change the restaurant to the PR style.
