share in the industry. Talking about competitors, our direct competitor will be Al Sajjad Family
Restaurant, as we are making a food chain similar to Al Sajjad. While our indirect competitor
will consists of different eating places including Cafes. Some of the eating places including
Nandos, Ginsoy, Charcoal Barbeque and many other restaurants located in Do Darya. Outside
Pakistan, like Dubai, Sharjah, Oman, these Pakistani food restaurants are making their relevant
places in the market. As a result of this, the foreigners are showing their preferences towards
these restaurants.
Different restaurants trend came around like Fast Food Restaurants, Chinese, and Italian but
couldn’t retain their share for long. As far as Pakistani Food Restaurants have made a stable
place in their markets.

the target market and on the basis of target market, we will conduct short term interviews about

Phase viii restaurants will also be conducted that what types of food are available and at what
prices. We will further analyze our direct competitor Al Sajjad Family Restaurant pricing
strategy, that what food are available and at what prices
Venture or Firm Background:
Our restaurant will be based on providing high quality Pakistani Foods according to the
customer’s desire. The restaurant will be a sole proprietorship restaurant, as the owner will be
personally liable for all their debts and obligations. There will be no need to write down the
2. terms and conditions to open the restaurant. It will be easy to form. We will be providing the

all of our equities in the business, taking finance from family friends as no loan will be taken
from banks. After this, a sort of collateral will be taken from conventional banks for that the
property will be put up on mortgage. On the basis of this, collateral will be provided, as

this, at initial stages, the restaurant will incur a huge cost on organizing an introductory function
at our place. On the first day, a concert is going to be held, where different singers will perform
and present melodious song. A beautiful billboard will also be placed outside our restaurant to
grab consumer’s attention. A social page at Facebook as well as twitter will be created so that
respondents will put up their feedback about our restaurant. In the first year, huge cost for
advertising will incur, but later on, we will put up low cost on advertising.
Competition and Market share:
Karachi is a food eating and loving city. A large number of people from different social classes
prefer different kinds of meals. In the context of Pakistani Food restaurants, there are nearly 65%
of the people including social class, upper middle class that prefer eating at different restaurants.
Our mission is to open a successful eating food chain, providing healthy, energetic meals to the
hungry people. Talking about competitor level, we are emphasizing on two levels of competitors,
Direct and Indirect.
Direct Competitor: Our direct competitor will be Al Sajjad Family Restaurant. We are
providing a Pakistani Food Chain similar to Al Sajjad Family Restaurant. It is the one that has
grabbed the major market share in terms of Buffet Restaurants, i.e., 30%. Ours is an initial one,
but with the passage of time, providing more tasty meals, better marketing strategies, we will
soon become the leaders.
Indirect Competitors: Our indirect competitors comprises of Do Darya, Nandos, Barbeque
Tonight. These eating chains are having share less than Al Sajjad, as these have emerged after
this. Although they are providing better quality foods, but not grabbing the major market share of
Al Sajjad because of their poor pricing strategies.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS
In our given assumptions, sales are going to be increased by 16% each year. It is because of
better growth opportunities. Karachi is the mini Pakistan, and every year, its population increases
by at most 2% to 3% per year. There are a lot of food chain growing opportunities. A large
number of people are switching their preferences towards these types of Desi Restaurants.

5. Talking about the cost of raw materials, with the passage of time it will increase, as inflation is a
monetary phenomenon, so the cost of raw materials like price of spices, price of meat, and oil all
will increase in the near future. So we have put an assumption that it will grow by 10% per year.
Talking about staff salaries, the restaurant is a highly growing industry. As with the passage of
time, the restaurant will generate more and more revenue, which will result in motivation of our
staff by increasing their salaries. The utility expenses like Electricity, Water and Gas will
increase because of future increase in duties, surcharges and tax rates, which will further increase
in the near future. For Debt to Equity ratio, we have made the ratio of 70:30, as 70% would be
our personal equities. We will put our own money in the business while 30% would be taken as a
debt.
