So, we planned to position ourselves as the premier and leading homestyle concept in Bangalore. Fine dining should be fine and dandy, the atmosphere of a fresh eatery should break the existing norms as a welcome change. FOODBALL.MENU is a novelty experience in the food industry, which draws curiosity among foodies. Explore the beauty of our concept with homely and healthy food along with some fun engaged in every corner during the dine in session.

Space
The FOODBALL.MENU will build a 4000-square foot space three storied building situated at Raja Rajeshwari Nagar in Bangalore. The state of art in our architecture would provide an ambience never felt before. Each space will be designed in such a way that there is something engaged in every corner. The preparation of meals is done in the transparent 600-900 SQ. FT kitchen which would
be in the center of the dine space, where everyone can view as to how hygienically the preparation is being done. The style of creating a business based on a preconceived concept is to analyse the market findings and to serve consumer needs which is nothing short of an extraordinary. To state otherwise, we innovate the trend to service a consumer ‘want’ which has been unmet.

Industry
Analysis
FOODBALL.MENU works within the view of the huge food and beverages industry. While the food industry has its ups and downs, the fluctuation is not as much as compared to the economy. Individuals have to eat, they could eat at home and make savings on their expenses, however the convenience associated with eating at an eatery with a good ambience makes a noteworthy motivating driving force. This is not to recommend that eateries are free from recession. It is just to state that they are less influenced by the general condition of the economy. The food and beverages industry comprises of fullservice restaurants--FSR and restricted eating area services, which incorporate quick-service restaurants-QSR; snack bars; buffets; cafeterias & nonalcoholic bars. This food and beverages industry includes centers which are fundamentally focused in offering eatery services to those who place orders and are served when they are having their seating there and make payments after they eat. These centers might offer eatery services to customers along with alcoholic drinks, offering take away services, or exhibiting live entertainment which is nontheatrical. Customer preferences, demographics, and individual incomes decide the demand. The individual organizations profits could differ: while QSRs depend on sales of high volume and proficient functions, FSRs depend on high-edge products and powerful advertising. Large establishments have benefits in buying, marketing and finance. Small firms could provide high quality food and service. This food and beverages industry is labour intensive. Compensation takes a sizeable part of the operational expenses. There is a requirement for the businesses to keep other varied expenses as less as they could, which thereby enhances the significance of the vendors. Restaurants contend with establishments which provide
12
prepared food or meals, inclusive of convenience stores, delis, warehouse clubs and grocery stores. What’s more, eateries have competition from cooking made at home. In FSRs, servers take orders, provide meals and beverages, and do processing of payment. FSRs incorporate fine dining, limited bar family dining and full bar casual dining centers. The square feet of an FSR and the quantity of tables and seats reflect how several customers it could serve (otherwise called as covers or table turns) specifically impact the sales. Since the eatery industry is exceptionally competitive, the determination of the location is very crucial: establishments might consider the traffic, accessibility, visibility, competition, density of the populace and family income. Establishments do the management of the inventory of perishable food items very carefully, for example, fresh dairy and seafood products, to minimize losses because of getting spoiled. Mechanized information frameworks could enhance and connect the preparation of food and the functions of serving. Ordering programmes which have touch screen functionalities guarantee exact intake of client order requests. Timing frameworks screen the development phase of the food and can alert the employees if an order placed is behind the specific time. Programmes of reservation boost the seating and the activity stream. Fameworks of inventory management keep track of the supply standards and could assist to decrease wastage resulting from getting spoiled. Programmes of cost accounting assist organizations to decide the profit levels of the each menu served. Point-of-sale or POS gadgets enable servers to make orders and print receipts, enhancing efficiency and lessening the order duration. Certain handhelds could likewise print cheques of the customers and do processing of the payments made via credit cards.

SALES FORECAST We are expecting an annual five percent conservative expansion in the revenue of sales during the next three years. The second outlet is intended to be opened on the thirteenth month, and further new outlets opening at every twelve-month interval period.
SALES PROGRAMS
Sales
Strategy
The strategy about sales is set to open and build new areas keeping in mind the end goal is to enhance the profits. In any case, such a plan would be executed when once the first “market analyzer” outlet starts to show potential development. Since every individual area would keep on building its local client base over the initial 3 years of function, the objective of each outlet would tend to develop.
24
The methodology of the sales effort would be to convert the first time and potential clients into long haul clients. This would be attained utilizing a few strategies. Clients won’t return in case they are not satisfied with their experience. Providing excellent client service is critical. Client surveys state that only one in twenty clients who have an issue in an eatery would inform the management regarding it. It will be the objective of FOODBALL.MENU to offer a unique and superb homestyle food along with unmatched client service. Programmes of training would incorporate instruction materials to train and prepare our staff regarding client perception, service attitudes and on how to deal with customer complaints.

We would provide encouragement to our staff to develop our client base and offer bonuses and incentives on a regular basis to them for repeat clients and referrals. These types of initiatives are still in the initial planning phase and they would assume a dynamic part in our staff culture. It is likewise expected that as our business grows, we would recruit a sales director to encourage this part of the business.
PRICING STRATEGY
reviews of policies, enhance customer satisfaction and to keep a general line of communicating link amongst the management and the employees. All complaints from the customers would be acknowledged by the employees and the management would be referred to on this. Programmes would be set up for all kinds of customer complaints. The staff is empowered to solve the issues which arise and are given the encouragement to look for help from the manager in case they can’t resolve a complaint. More severe grievances would be documented and kept on record. Feedback from the client would be attained by means of client surveys or using mystery shoppers. Punch cards: After buying ten meals, the eleventh one would be free. Punch cards are a powerful method for expanding sales from a particular client. They are successful because they furnish the client with a feeling of extra value; it offers the sense of value with a free entree. Individuals love the idea of getting something free than what they must pay for. The punch card offers exactly this. Birthday Programme/Loyalty Programme: FOODBALL. MENU would provide a loyalty/birthday club demonstrating a complimentary wrap, chicken sandwich or hamburger for the individual having the birthday. This easy and effective strategy could expand incomes as much as fifteen percent as a result of repetitive business.
We would price our items reasonably while maintaining our high standards. At FOODBALL.MENU, cost accounting is critical, because the revenue from individual dishes would significantly vary and would at first decide the price of the items on the menu. We would take advantage of our excellent credit terms with our suppliers and would likewise make updates on our menu to take benefits of the seasons, for instance in items which are locally produced. We would likewise assess closely the Prime Cost Report which concentrates on the costs which can be controlled with regard to the cost of labour and goods sold.
Organization and
Management
Our team of management would include people who have around fifty years of experience in food, hotel and restaurant, catering, marketing, finance and management. We would recruit the best persons accessible, and help them with training, motivation and encouragement, and retain possibly the most efficient and productive staff. The management of FOODBALL.MENU would handpick each staff. We would have an efficient process of interview for each position which would be designed to employ FOODBALL.MENU with the best qualified and experienced individuals. Every candidate would be assessed and rated as per the pre-characterized set of benchmarks intended for each of the positions. Verifications of the background would be used for the various designated positions. The endeavors of recruitment would constantly focus on referrals.
MANAGEMENT TEAM GAPS To fill in the gaps related with cost accounting, inventory management and payroll, FOODBALL.MENU would buy a point of sale system--POS which would simplify the communication link between the wait staff and the kitchen. Orders would move via the PC to the kitchen printer directly. Another advantage of POS framework within FOODBALL.MENU is that it could keep track of all the things from the use of food to that of the most prominent menu products. Since the POS framework works as a clock, it could likewise assist in preparing the payroll, which would spare some amount of cash in the accounting division. Alongside the day to day functions of operating an eating outlet, a POS framework could sort out the tax and the loss and profit statement.

Future
Organizational structure
Future structure of FOODBALL.MENU would incorporate a store operations director when the locations of the store increase beyond four. We are of the view that this executive would evolve from
Future
FOODBALL.MENU / 2017
the positions of our stores’ administration. This would offer a supervisory level between the store management level and the executive level.
Services
In future, the growth plan of FOODBALL.MENU would be to offer franchise of the brand to entrepreneurs in the food industry. The franchise would not be limited to Bangalore or Karnataka, but would be distributed across India. This could possibly turn out to be a large part of the gross sales. The success of a franchising in Indonesia by the name of ‘Bread Talk’ is a realistic example in
this front. The FOODBALL.MENU has future plans to offer catering services for large-scale weddings, family get-togethers, and other occasions which desire a “home-style” theme and menu. The FOODBALL.MENU is focusing on Year 2 and Year 3 and by then, a sales agent would be employed to market our products directly for catering.
Milestones At the time of the initial set up of FOODBALL.MENU, its founders with assistance from experts would perform the planning & implementation in creating the brand and the development of the first outlet of FOODBALL. MENU. The planning & implementation would take around eight months, notwithstanding the process of refinement and revision which would take the rest of the one year period before the grand opening of FOODBALL.MENU.

Financial
Plan
Along with providing a unique concept which has never been felt earlier, it is important to make this unique concept to be a financial success also. We have made a financial plan based on our knowledge and experience in this area. With a start-up expenditure of Rs. 1.5 crores, we can generate Rs 4. 21 crores in sales by the end of year two, and create good net profits by the end of year three. We are seeking an amount of Rs. 1 crore from investors. Most of the costs are related to building expenses, licenses and permits, insurance expense, equipment in the kitchen, furnishing, furniture, inventory of the eatery area, marketing campaigns, and wages for employees. In addition, working capital and contingency is required. We are investing Rs 50 lakhs from our own capital and looking to raise from investors an additional amount of Rs. 1 crore. Our favored instrument would be five year subordinated notes having an alluring coupon rate of twelve percent for the initial two years and fifteen percent for the final three years. Towards the close of five years, the notes of the investors would have matured and original principal in addition to a two percent premium and the last interest payment would be given. Our philosophy for the investors is conservative. Since start-ups in the food industry are very speculative, our commitment and belief to our investors would be to pay a predictable and generous ROI--rate of return while not affecting our cash flow operations. As FOODBALL.MENU
turns out to be more reliable and established, our capacity to pay a better return of capital would be proved by an enhanced coupon rate of fifteen percent of the original principal. At the time of maturity, we feel it appropriate to retire the notes with a two percent premium to the original principal invested. FOODBALL.MENU would create a cash flow which is negative from the operations conducted in the initial five months of the start of business. From the 6th month onwards, the flow of cash would be positive, which would enable FOODBALL.MENU to return the debt fund gradually and create a cash flow surplus for normal financing of FOODBALL. MENU and also share the profits of FOODBALL. MENU with the owners. Regardless of the positive flow of cash from the 6th to 10th month of the 1st year of operations, the 1st year would lead to a total cash flow which is negative from the operations. Cash flow which is negative from the operations needs to be covered with adequate amount of financing and subsequently a cash flow which is positive would evolve from financing. On the basis of the planned flow of financing sources, we could see that FOODBALL.MENU would finally be successful with regard to getting a positive cash flow of funds in transaction accounts, which would make possible the effective startup of FOODBALL.MENU. During the end of the 1st year of functioning, FOODBALL.MENU would have a good closing balance of cash in its account.

CONCLUSION Entrepreneurs have the tendency to write a business plan with a very optimistic outlook, highlighting only the strengths and reducing the risks. However, as business owners we have a financial commitment and vested stake in the success of FOODBALL.MENU. Our intention is to have a definitive business, marketing and financial plan which not only serves our requirement for capital financing, but is also used as our business roadmap on a daily basis. We have taken here all the precautions required to validate our financial and business models, with an emphasis on realistic projections. We hope that we would be able to have support and co-operation from you for our unique concept and realistic business model.
