Business Strategy

Strategy

Our prime strategy is to focus on our customer experience. Our success hinges on whether
customers receive what we promise them, and are pleased enough to come back for more.
Our KISS (Keep it Simple & Smart) approach will be successful only if we don't distract
ourselves from the core business of making good sub fast, and of treating the customers as
if they are special. As with any business model in the new millennium, we must adapt our
strategy to the customer and market trends, while maintaining consistency of brand and
message. This is a challenge for any business in any industry because the nature of
business will always, and has always determined that the best strategy with the most
resources behind it will survive. This millennium has proved to be very successful in growing
this market, and of supporting it's franchises.

Value Proposition

Our value proposition is that we offer high-quality, healthy fast food at a reasonable price.
The business facilities are clean and our food is tastier than that of our competitors. The
ambiance of our facilities will contribute to customers' desire to eat their meals in a
comfortable, healthy environment.

Competitive Edge

We have a competitive edge in regards to the overall quality and differentiation of our
products, and in the cleanliness and ambiance of our seating area. Our sandwiches are all
of the finest quality, and have been refined through taste-tests sponsored by The Sub
way Corporate. We will differentiate our food from our competitors in regards to taste,
quality of bread and contents, attentiveness to customers, and overall experience. We gain
from their conversion of burger eaters to sandwich eaters, but alternately prove that we are
more responsive to customers and offer better fare than other franchises.

Strategic Alliances

The fast-food business is based largely on the impulsive choice of consumers. Many people
buy their business lunch, lunch, or family dinners at a fast food restaurant, and those fast
food restaurants offer not necessarily the best selection, but the most reliable menu and the
fastest order completion time. Customers will try other fast food restaurants, and shop
around, but the majority of their fast food purchases are made through one retailer. Our goal
is to capture those customers, and to build loyalty to the product through purchase punch
cards, consistent daily specials, and a direct mail list.

Marketing Strategy

Marketing
Our Marketing Strategy is to reach the largest amount of tourists residents, and students for
the least amount of money.

Our strategy will focus on three solid points:

To develop customer loyalty

To extend the franchise brand locally.

Develop local word-of-mouth advertising (buzz).

Pricing Strategy

Our pricing strategy is different for different customers. Prices to retail customers will be
fixed by the chairs, and based on a relative cost of living indicator. Retail prices will be
competitive at about £6 for the average meal. This is about 30% above McDonald's and
Burger King prices, Customers are simply willing to pay more for healthy, flavorful food
served in a clean, comfortable environment.

Promotion Strategy The chairs will promote our products on the national level. In order to
reach our local customers, and build loyalty, we will offer special mid-day promotions,
sponsor local community events, advertise in the local classified paper, and our President
will become a leading figure and spokesman in the community.

Distribution Strategy

We plan to distribute our products direct to customers, without the use of a separate
channel of distributors.

Sales Strategy

Our sales strategy will be to reach the largest amount of Jackson county residents and
tourists with consistent value-added incentives to purchase our products and visit our
restaurant. In this industry, and especially as a franchise, our marketing programs are
almost indistinguishable from our sales programs. The indistinguishable handles a lot of the
national and regional marketing, and we just pay our fee to have it done. Our flexibility will
lie in our ability to push the boundaries of freedom the indistinguishable has given us, and to
take advantage of opportunities to differentiate ourselves on sales by sale level.

Personnel Plan

The human resource management is considered to be an important part in every


organisation. In context of Subway franchise it is essential for the company to recruit and
develop skilled workforce to serve the customers in the best possible way. In the initial
stage the business will employ three time employees working 20 hours per week at 7 pound
per hour. it is important for fast food outlet to recruit and develop skilful work force in its
initial stage to serve the customers in an efficient manners by operating the business in an
efficient manner. The business owned and managed by Sawkat. He is a business graduate
from Cardiff Metropolitan University. As part career development he served for a well-known
car fast food as Shift manager for the last 5 years. Therefore it can be observed that the
owner of the business has the skills and expertise in the area of business. In addition to it is
also important for the business to establish a customer friendly environment that when any
hands to retain the existing customers and to bring new customer group. Therefore the
business has future plan to provide training and development opportunity for the employees.
As a result it would develop good organisational skills among the workforce to serve the
customers and to attend the organisational objective of the business.
