Idea Napkin/ 11A
1) You.
(Me.)
My
name is Brittany and I’m a full-time employee and student. I am skilled and
experienced in managing large projects where I work with a team of people to achieve
short-term and long-term goals. I use my planning and organization skills to
break apart large projects into smaller tasks and then delegate work to the
qualified people. I aspire to use my skills to help create a better world for
animals. Animal welfare is something I am very passionate about and by opening
a vegetarian restaurant, I would be exposing people to healthy, flavorful and satisfying
foods that don’t require the exploitation of animals to create. If I owned a restaurant
I would use my management skills hire professionals to perform the day-to-day
duties while working to open more locations or working with other companies to
improve or ad products.
2) What
are you offering to customers?
My
restaurant will offer delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner meals that will
impress any meat-eater. Customers will enjoy a clean atmosphere and dine in
large booths and tables set with fresh flowers and our free appetizers consisting
of pita chips and homemade hummus. We will also offer outdoor seating over-looking
the community garden where pets are always welcome.
3) Who
are you offering it to?
Vegetarian
or not, everyone will love the food at my restaurant. Anyone who enjoys hearty
and filling meals, and those who like trying something new, will dine with us. We
will also serve craft beer and wine making our location the perfect spot for
after-work drinks and appetizers.
4) Why
do they care?
People,
(especially vegetarians) will come to my restaurant because of the weaknesses
in other restaurants. Those weaknesses are unhealthy vegetarian options and bland
healthy options.
5) What
are your core competencies?
I
will serve very healthy, very flavorful dishes that never disappoint. It will
also attract non-vegetarians who want to try something different and not order
your typical sandwich with fries.
The
weakest element of my business concept is sticking out. In Ocala, there are literally
no vegetarian restaurants so locally, my restaurant would completely stick and
be unique to this area. However, once the business started growing, I would
have trouble standing out to other vegetarian restaurants and bakeries on a
national level.
I really like your idea. Restaurants are not very easy to excel with, however, with your mentality and uniqueness this idea will be successful. With society expanding in the health and fitness area this restaurant is a great idea. The biggest approach would be making sure the food is tasty, because the hardest thing about eating healthy is not enjoying the taste of the food. But like you said, creating a great ambiance, tasty food, having a variety of food for different people, beer and wine, I think it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea of pita chips with hummus as a free appetizer. Chips and salsa definitely always lure me in and so would that! I think in general when people who aren’t vegetarian think of a vegetarian restaurant they will not want to go, but I think if your restaurant is advertised well and you can get people in the door to see how good vegetarian food can be then you can be very successful.
