Introduction:

I have given a lot of thought into the type of business I am going to open. After doing my research I have observed that a salad bar would be a successful restaurant in London. The initial research on this type of business has shown me that it has been successful in other cities at different times of the day. I spoke to the managers and in each store I spent time making my own observations. I took note of how busy they were, and what the layout of the stores were. I learnt that they used the best quality ingredients to prepare tasty food in open plan hygienic kitchens. I also learnt that as much as they made they sold and they could have possibly made more.

The name of my business will be called, “Aemono”

It will have a sit down restaurant and will provide a quick meal on the go. There will be a range of many different salads to choose from.

My business will be aimed at both young and old, people who want a nutritious meal. I plan to start my business off with only one shop of a decent size. I will do the majority of the administrative work and manage the restaurant. I will have one chef, four counter assistants, one waiter and a cleaner.

A busy Londoner does not have the time to make a nutritious meal daily, therefore I think that this is a good idea that will be successful and popular. I intend to make up excellent quality meals at a competitive price. I intend to have an excellent customer service and hope to form relationships with my regular customers. Good customer services will ensure my customers stay happy.

I also intend to make a success of my business with a view to expansion and opening new stores.
