for leaving, where did they go and what they are doing now. It is very important to
record their contact methods and let the managers to communicate with them
periodically so that they could be used in the future when the restaurant is
developing. This can help to decrease HR cost and they could be taken as the HR
reserve.
Performance
For the employees who is in charge of ordering food. The restaurant will reward
them based on their sales performance and they can get commission on different
dishes they sell.
Management Software

2006170700035 GAURAV DIWAKAR
restaurant is trying to fully use each space and make everywhere exquisite˚
The temporary plan is:

plan is supposed to be reasonable to guarantee customers ‘ privacy will not be
interrupted.
B. The main color will be decided later and by the designers.
A. Establish long term and stable partnership with the flower growing bases in

community and public.
Risk analysis
Currently, people may don’t know what is the flora products and they might not try
it, this is a big risk. We have to use marketing, public relationship and
advertisements to lead consumption idea.
Competitors Risk
In the process, there will be many competitors or imitators because this is a new
industry with brilliant perspective. Therefore, it is very important to hold on the core
competence, keep making innovations, keeping old customers, building high
reputation and influential brand, increasing image of the business.
Operation Risk
During the operation, there could be many risks such as supply problems, public
activities fail to attain expected effect, lack of capital and so on. Therefore, in order
to avoid these risks, we need to make adequate preparation: training employee,
establish learning organization, guarantee financing. Besides, it is very important to
communicate with the customers and partners, strengthen HR management and
the business culture building to make the employees have the sense of
proud ,belonging and independence, we could reduce risks through these ways.
At the very beginning of running the business, as the money is limited, it is very
important to build credit and reputation to try to get capital from different sources.
Skill Risk
During running the business, some core skills could be revealing caused by the
employees outflow. To solve this problem, we will buy related patented skill and
assign with employees with confidential clause to reduce the risks of quit of the
employees˚

Industry analysis
There has been a long history of flower food in China. In recent years, it is
becoming a worldwide fashion using flowers as the ingredients to make various
food , flora food is becoming a new trend. Besides, there are also some other
countries using flowers as a way of health care.
In recent years, on the beverage market, natural flowers and plants are booming,
they are with rich nutrition, no pollution and deeply welcome by consumers.
Therefore, the flora food and drinks will have a great potential market, currently, in
China, there is no an exclusive restaurant serving with flora food, therefore, it has a
large market perspective. In addition, there are not so many high-class restaurants
have traditional cultural characteristics, therefore, there could be a large
potential(Zhang Guixiang, Chi Yusen.2000).
PEST analysis

strong mental deterioration, they are and have the potential becoming the
mainstream of the international society and they will be the most important target
customers for any business. They respect top-grade consumption and they are
becoming main force for Chinese economy and consumption. But they are still at
the very beginning stage, their consumer awareness needs to be conducted.
Social
Technological
Also, flower catering has a long history in China but they are not becoming
mainstream. But there are many records and researches about it. They have vey
excellent traditional skills as background.
Besides, with the development of economy, there is a long development on the
flower market in recent years, with the development of flora catering techniques
extracting flower oil skills, traffic and storage skills, all of these make the flora
catering possible and gives it a large space to develop.

not familiar with it on its flavor and health care function, and safety. It needs
some time to make the customers to accept it.

birthdays to give them a large discount.
Sales Strategy
Sing-target-market Strategy
At the beginning stage, we didn’t run the business before and we are lack of
experiences, therefore, we will have a low market share . The restaurant will adopt
single-target-market strategies, targeting on the high income customers, pay close
attention to the market demand of the leisure catering and business conference,
providing unique products and services.( Li Huali, Xu Lingzhi.2009)

it will only take up for a short period, in this case, the restaurant will use market-
skimming pricing strategy: high price and low promotion cost. There might be few

2006170700035 GAURAV DIWAKAR
Develop the supply chain
It is very important to develop the supply chain, especially on the foundation of the
information network.
We will gradually establish and develop our supply chain system. At the very
beginning, the raw materials supplying of franchising restaurants will transform
from headquarter supplying to the specialist suppliers. Information network can
help the franchising restaurant to introduce customers to each other, they can book
materials each other and share information and promote together. The restaurant
will establish its website and make it known to the news media and Internet,
delivering the dynamic information of products and services to each other.
The supply chain strategy is to assure the acquirement and transportation of the
raw materials, supply of the products and services, and the ways and
characteristics of the product delivery and the after sales service. From the
perspective of the value chain, it explains what is supposed to do on management,
delivery and services.
In order to realize the strategy matching, the restaurant consider the function
strategy of every part in the Value Chain and to make sure that these strategies
could coordinate with each other well supporting the company’s competitive
objectives. Besides, the secondary strategies such as purchasing and stock
strategy should follow closely to the reaction of the supply chain. (Canyin, 2010)
Franchise
Control Franchise
The restaurant will control franchise strictly. Exam and choose the candidates
carefully. The franchise must fit our brand position, market target, location
requirements and so on. It is impossible for everyone to franchise for the “Scale
Effect”. The philosophy is to establish solid foundation. It is also important to
enquire the characteristics of the market and industry, to attain the position that all
the new franchise are succeed to increase the market share and win the
customers. Spreading Culture
As the culture is the soul of a business, franchise should also focus on the culture
spread. There are three main aspects to spread the culture: Firstly, the
comprehension and action of the employees. Secondly, the customer accredited,
acceptance, love and spread of the customers. Last but not least, the social
attention. The restaurant will use marketing, HR management ,public relationship
and other methods to spread.
Contract Bind and Inspection
The restaurant will contract with those who would like to franchise according to
the law clauses which refers to the franchise right and fee, the product and service
control, instruction and training, confidential items and so on. Besides, it is also
important to set up inspection regulations which include regular monthly inspection,
head office inspection and the annual inspection.

some other services such as purchasing, marketing, legal service and son on.
The chief chef will be responsible for the kitchen management such as food

For the reason of development of the company ,the need of the changing of the
industry environment ,the employee turnover and some other reasons, there must
be unbalance on the demand and supply of the company’s human resource.
Therefore, it is very important to have an effective employee allocating mechanism.
A. External Employment
When strategic arrangement needs a large amount of employees and internal
arrangement is not enough, it has to adopt external employment. The method: Job
Market, TV, Newspaper, Internet, Campus and so on. For specific position title, it
depends on the position requirement.
