4. ASSUMPTIONS ORDER MIX
Table 1. Order mix, Appetizers
% of people take Appetizer, Soup, Entrees, and Desert
Demand - lower on Monday and Tuesday and higher in
the weekend
Order mix - differential price, compromise
effect, sophisticated servings
Signaling - happy Sunday promotion
6. ASSUMPTIONS COST & PRICING
Table 3. Cost & Pricing
Direct costs are food cost and cost
of cooks
Scallops and Duckling are the
specialty and that is reflected in
pricing
Cost line food waste added (10%
of food costs)
Gross contribution estimated to be
70%
Pricing in principle is based on cost
plus margin - common for premium
type restaurants
No direct competitor in the area

8. ASSUMPTIONS COST ALLOCATION
Chef and Costs are assigned and based on revenue
Apprentice Chefs
Costs are split 50/50 between lunch and
Souse Chefs dinner (based on responsibility)
All other costs and other monthly
All other costs expenses are assigned by revenue
Is the most accurate key for cost allocation
Revenue driver based on activity based costing at this
stage of business startup
The allocation key will be rewiewed and
Going forward allocations will be adjusted, e.g. based on
timesheets of employees
10. RECOMMENDATIONS
Review performance vs. six-months plan
Analyze demand in the order mix
Analyze staff and food utilization
Check if pricing segments need to be verified; our pricing is
primarily based on cost base, therefore we will need to review if
changes are needed based on customer demand verification:
Utilize and develop the existing touchpoints, including nearby
luxury shops, golf course, and polo stadium
11. OUR PROMISE
SERVICE CLIMATE
that everybody Distinguished
finds special & sophisticated
SATISFACTION EXPERIENCE
for the most you cant have
demanding someplace
customers else
Who are we? Who is responsible for what? Where were we successful?
We incorporate the difference in price range, which is obvious for the customers and they can clearly see the difference compromise effectWe incorporate price thresholds (upper 59.99, lower 29.99, differential 20 vs. 30 vs. 40 vs. 50) % of people take Appetizer, Soup, Entrees, and DesertDemand - lower on Monday and Tuesday (10% of mid-week) and higher in the weekend (Friday and Saturday - 10% higher)Order mix - differential price, compromise effect, sophisticated servings Signaling - there is a happy Sunday promotion. Due to lower demand (60 dinners versus 100 average) prices on Sunday are 10% lower (Table X)
Two reasons for those assumptions:Some food will inevitably be lostSome dishes are prepared in more then 1 portion per preparation, for example 10 portions of Artichoke Hearts are prepared at once and it could be the case that demand for it in particular day is lower. If possible, this will be stored and used next day.The sophisticated servings have significantly higher gross contribution - there is a little influence of cost on the ultimate price for these servingsThere is a limited number of servings considered to be unique and sophisticated, thus of a very high price.No direct competitor in the area - another argument for cost based pricing
Time is split into lunches and dinners, assuming dinners are 4 times more time consuming than lunchesStandard working time is 40 hrs per weekExpected overtime is approximately 1 hr a day per employee. This is based on the standard working time, however the research shows that in the US the working week is 46 hrs thus our staff working time is consitent with the standard
Dividing servings:For the first two, due to high demand, their prices will be increasedFor the third group, the price will be loweredFor the fourth group, the servings will be replaced by other
