implemented various type of self service kiosk.

customers experiencing the personal space of ordering food, and the service is an
explode over nationwide as its easy and time saving.

Pappa Rich, Oldtown, Subway, KFC, smaller and medium brand sellers including
local mamak restaurant, also food-truck base that sells variety of food and quick-
eateries.

sell the type of food products by PNP such as variety of breads and western foods.

you are the leader, employee or manager or even owner at all, what matters most are

It’s a share of being authentic words of leadership generalize as well as staff in the

6.0 RESOURCES.
6.1 MANAGEMENT & TEAM.
Organization or team in this start up are the biggest part asset that a company could ever
have. The ideas and plan poured into this business will be reason to achieve success by all
cost. Therefore, a huge amount of capital has been invested to start this restaurant.
The amount of capital invested here will be used to develop the skill and train the mid-
level skilled hiring to ensure the process flow of the restaurant services are mend and good
to run. Also using the invested capital to create a development program for the employees.
Such development is for future joining that could attain “moon shot” opportunities from
the company.

FIGURE 8: ORGANIZATIONAL CHART


6.2 MARKETING RESOURCES.
End product are easy to be approached and sell in the market. As we speaking, the real
challenges will occur when the wants are to be pushed as products to consumers. Which
means there will be a substitution product produced by the competitors into joining in the
market.
Such good efficient amount of resources used or capital invested is needed in the
marketing sector. Such an advertisement, online promoting in social media platform
marketing must be done in order to be competitive in the market and feeding the
information of the product advertised in market.
6.3 SUPPLIERS.
Since the nature of business is food and beverages industry, purchasing raw material and
fresh food items are crucial play in this business. There aren’t such things called fixed
price or amount for the material in a day. The price fluctuates according to supplies and
demands globally.
As the price being not determinant, it can be said that it may affect number of customers
visiting the restaurant could be high and low. Hence, purchasing the raw food items and
material everyday where the goods are sufficient.
6.4 DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL.
For a restaurant start-up, distribution channel can be piece of cake where it involves only
two parties. Thus, there is not any terms or conditions agreed as in fixed amount for the
day.
Therefore, purchasing goods every day where the goods are always sufficient. This can
only be done when the firm has good flow of resource allocated. Those raw material are
being used to produce product and being sell to consumers. Hence, the resources run like
cycle and generate nice and tangible profit from it.
6.4 SYSTEM.
In food business, a good and sufficient system is very vital to sustain in the market and
serve the customer in a long run. Most restaurant receive less customer and shut down due
to bad system management.
Bad system management will incur into loss and deliberately kills the business. Moreover,
the resource allocated and capital invested should be in a need and creating the well
design system to run the restaurant.
Such efficient system will be implemented when this restaurant runs. This is due to ensure
the system here leads to good management where it seeks customer as king where their
needs and necessities are met.
6.5 QUANTITY SURVEYOR.
This quantity surveying is a also vital part in running a business where the land, building,
contracts, facility amenities, rental, and much more. On the other hand, restaurant deals
with furniture and building.
As a part saying quantity surveying is needed to be financed on this project and to be
monitored every part to ensure no incurring losses or wastage on the usage of resource
allocated and capital invested.
7.0 FINANCIAL.
TECHNOLOGICAL VALUE.
Technological value here represents the website birth, information systems, and usage of
software such as accounting, payroll, check-in and ordering system for the business run in
smooth and efficient manner.
Some businesses choose to outsource such technological aspect to other firm to save on
payroll and other benefits a well and in “PIKADILLY” we plan to using KIOSK ordering
system which also depends on the consumer frequency. If the restaurant are about to
experiencing the exposure and generate good revenue, then this method will be
implemented.
SUPPLY CHAIN.
Some requirements in this business are form of equipment and basic raw supplies. Such
adding the equipment expenses listing of start-up costs, a decision has to be taken whether
to buy or to lease.
As this to claim it depends on the consumer frequency to “PIKADILLY”. Based on this
theory researched, we could increase the number of orders from the supplier if there is a
positive turning point from the customers and we would negotiate better with the suppliers
for better price and discount for the equipment and basic raw supplies.
ADVERTISTMENT.
It’s a unlike success if the business not being promoted in any ways, moreover in food
industry. However, the entailing promotion of a business much more than ads in local
newspaper which the move is quite old school.
Advertisement in social media proves the reach to users have higher heights and in can be
explosion to receive more customers for the restaurant and the price is quite a number
where reaching about RM2000.00 for a good response and reach.
It also includes marketing everything to attract clients into business as in retail or
partnerships, sponsor and much more. Marketing in advertisement way is a science that
being an advantage is very beneficial which externally dedicating market firms are being
hired.
EMPLOYEE EXPENSE.
This is known as costs of labor where hired employees are paid in wages, salaries and
benefits which lured from the earlier business planning. Failure in compensating in
adequate manner can end in mutiny, bad morale, and bad publicity where it affects the
business and create bad image for the restaurant.
Such coverage in this business planning creates more challenges and chances to growth in
every phase of the business grows mutually.

CONSIDERATION ON ADDITIONAL START UP COST.


Some extra capital balance which used for the business start up may being set aside for
any unexpected or overlooked expenses which about to occur during the business running.
Its important to take note where the start up costs from sole proprietor differs from start up
cost from partnership and corporation, where some additional cost in partnership can
incurring which includes the legal fee of drafting a partnership agreement and state
registration fee.
Other costs which can be applied are more to corporation side such as fill up articles for
filing articles for incorporations, by law and terms and conditions of stock original
certificates.
8.0 THREAT CALL & WEAKNESS.
WEAKNESS.
The weakness which will be faced by this restaurant start up will be not enough exposure
because to compete with other QSR firms in heart of the nation city, Bangsar. Coming up,
high expense on the marketing to promote the brand of the restaurant. Since the brand is
very new, “PIKADILLY” may need to promote the business that people would get to
know about the business of what it provides to the customers.
Furthermore, training new staff will be one of the weaknesses where developing the
etiquette of food industry and services. This consumes time and energy from the top
management to implement better training and services to bring business run in a long run.
On the other hand, reliability of data plan and projection. “PIKADILLY” is a new in town
and the business partners are new too. Hence, we tend to depend more on data plan and
projection which has been made earlier for better performance.
Other weaknesses can be using outdated inventory system where there is always a ways to
keep track the inventories and getting constant materials from suppliers as well.

THREAT.
There will be a new threat to be faced, for an instance, sudden rising price in raw materials
and which will influence the prices on menu. This somehow will force us to move away
from the initial plans for customers reaching for affordable price.
Competing with other established and franchised QSR will become another major threat
and creates stiff and robust competitions, especially having similar types of foods or have
similar dine-in setup.
Other minor threats can be, rising price of certain foods. For an example, cooking a
seafood dish and something negative part gives an impact on the shrimp market, such
threat can be exists if the need comes to raise the price or find new suppliers because
somehow it can gain loss for the business.
