this project is based on:

Section 1: Customer market trends and target
markets
Identify the current market Current Market Base:

base for your business and
 For hotels, the current market base may include a mix of

leisure travelers, business travelers, event planners, and
target customers.
international tourists.
List your information sources.
 For restaurants, the market base could consist of local
residents, tourists, business professionals, and individuals
looking for dining experiences.
Target Customers:
 Hotels may target business travelers seeking

accommodation, event organizers in need of banquet and
meeting facilities, leisure travelers looking for a comfortable
stay, and tourists exploring the area.
 Restaurants may target local residents seeking dining

options, tourists seeking authentic local cuisine, and
business professionals looking for lunch or dinner venues.
Information Sources:
1. Local Tourism Data: Local tourism boards and websites
can provide data on visitor demographics, travel trends,
and interests.
2. Customer Surveys: Conduct surveys among your existing
customers to gather insights into their preferences and
expectations.
3. Competitive Analysis: Study your competitors in the area
to understand their customer base and positioning.
4. Online Review Platforms: Monitor reviews and feedback
on platforms like Trip Advisor and Yelp to gauge customer
sentiments and preferences.
5. Local Chamber of Commerce: They may have data on
the local business landscape and the types of events and
industries in the area that drive hotel and restaurant
business.

data for various commodities, such as vegetables
and meat. This data is essential for businesses to
control ingredient costs, monitor raw material
expenses, and make informed purchasing
decisions.
2. Efficient Net Yield:
 Net yield percentages, found in the data, signify
the amount of an ingredient's weight that remains
after trimming or processing. Higher net yield
percentages suggest more efficient use of
ingredients, which can reduce waste and enhance
cost-efficiency.
3. Calculating Portion Costs:
 The data enables the calculation of net portion

costs, which reveals the expense of incorporating
specific ingredients into a single portion. This
information aids in determining appropriate menu
item pricing.
4. Menu Engineering:
 The data can be used to perform menu

engineering, a method categorizing menu items
based on their profitability and popularity. Items
with higher net portion costs should ideally be
categorized as stars (high profit and popularity) or
may need adjustments for improved profitability.
5. Pricing Strategy:
 Information on net portion costs assists in setting

menu item prices that cover ingredient expenses
and contribute to desired profit margins. Adjusting
prices based on cost and popularity is a sound
strategy for optimizing revenue.
6. Customer Preferences:
 While the data emphasizes cost control and menu

engineering, understanding customer preferences
is crucial. Gathering data on customer likes,
dietary restrictions, and feedback is valuable for
tailoring menu items and marketing strategies to
better meet customer needs.
7. Cost Management:
 Analyzing ingredient costs and net yields aids in

cost management and minimizing waste. It allows
businesses to control expenses while maintaining
food quality.
8. Profitability Analysis:
 Integrating this data with sales information and

portion popularity assists in evaluating the
profitability of various menu items. This analysis
guides data-driven decisions about menu
modifications and pricing strategies.

information sources.
2. Health-Conscious Dining:
 Health-conscious customers are looking for menu

items with lower calorie counts, reduced sugar,
and healthier preparation methods. This includes
options for specific dietary needs like gluten-free or
vegan.
3. Delivery and Takeout:
 The demand for delivery and takeout options

continues to rise, driven by convenience and
changing consumer habits, especially post-
pandemic.
4. Tech Integration:
 Customers expect seamless tech integration for

ordering, reservations, and payments. Mobile apps
and digital menus are becoming increasingly
popular.
5. Global and Fusion Cuisine:
 There's a growing interest in global and fusion

cuisine, with customers exploring diverse flavor
profiles and cultural dishes.
6. Transparent Sourcing:
 Customers value transparency in ingredient

sourcing, wanting to know where their food comes
from and how it's prepared.
7. Unique Dining Experiences:
 Many customers are looking for unique and

immersive dining experiences, such as themed
dinners, pop-up restaurants, and interactive dining.
Information Sources:
1. Industry Reports: Research reports from industry
associations, consultancy firms, and market research
companies provide valuable insights into emerging food
service trends and customer preferences.
2. Online Surveys and Customer Feedback: Conduct

surveys and gather feedback from your existing customers
to understand their preferences and expectations.
3. Competitor Analysis: Analyze the menus and services of
your competitors, especially those who are successful in
catering to emerging trends.
4. Food and Hospitality Publications: Keep an eye on
industry publications, magazines, and blogs that often
feature articles on emerging trends and customer
preferences.
5. Food and Beverage Expos and Trade Shows: Attending
trade shows and expos can provide firsthand exposure to
the latest food trends and customer preferences.
6. Online Food Communities and Social Media: Participate
in online food communities and monitor social media
platforms for discussions and trends related to food
service.
7. Government and Environmental Organizations: Check
government and environmental organizations' reports on
sustainability and sourcing practices for the food industry.
8. Tech and Restaurant Management Software Providers:
Tech companies and software providers often release
insights into emerging tech trends in the food service
sector.
