These factors were beef-eaters (i.e. the market has their primary customers as beef eaters), legal to import U.S. beef (Ruth’s Chris only used USDA Prime beef therefore it had to be exportable to the new country), Population/high urbanization rates (restaurants needed to be in densely populated areas), high disposable income (fine dining restaurant with an average cost over $70), trend among people to eat out (more the people go out to eat, more are the odds they will come to this restaurant), and affinity for U.S. brands (overtly anti-US countries would not accept Ruth’s Chris and eat there). Ruth’s Chris target market should definitely consist of densely populated markets where a large percentage of the population eats steak. When identifying a new potential market, the company makes sure there is a large enough population to expand the business by opening multiple stores. After identifying whether the per capita consumption is high enough to support a steakhouse, they need to ensure the population can afford to dine in the high end establishment. If the market passes these tests, Ruth’s Chris will have a potentially good location and can build a restaurant. The factors discussed above are worth considering every time before entering a market. There can be some other factors which can be considered like country’s current political conditions and also some research about consumers’ current trends and likings so that by the time it comes to...

...Introduction Restaurants are a notoriously difficult business to own or operate. Not only is it a relatively capital and employee-intensive business, restaurants are also highly regulated, low margin and in most cases have a plethora of competition to deal with. A successful restaurant can make a lot of money for the owner and a lot of prestige comes with being associated with a popular restaurant. While the food and atmosphere of a restaurant are obviously critical factors--for all segments with the possible exception of fine dining--the presentation of the menu, pricing points and other marketing considerations are equally important. One of the main objectives of a restaurant is to ensure customer satisfaction and build a repeat-customer base. According to research by the National Restaurant Association, more than half of American adults (52 percent) said they would be more likely to patronize the same restaurant if it offered a customer loyalty and reward program. Other goals of this objective include enticing regular customers to come back more often as well as introducing the restaurant to new customers. Restaurants that give frequent diner cards (such as buy 10 meals and receive the 11th meal free) typically incorporate this objective in their overall marketing plans. Objective of the study This research was done mainly to enhance the restaurant promotion and branding. Restaurant marketing is both an art and a science that is shrouded in mystery for far too many restaurant owners...

...Restaurants may be classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Indian, French, Thai) and/or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes, such as automated restaurants. Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. In the former case, customers usually wear casual clothing. In the latter case, depending on culture and local traditions, customers might wear semi-casual, semi-formal or formal wear. Typically, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. For some time the travelling public has been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. (Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing Railway Refreshment Rooms [a form of restaurant] at railway stations.) In recent times there has been a trend to create a number of travelling restaurants...

...Introduction The team has chosen to do Restaurants, SSIC code 5611. It is a subset of the code 561 which is Restaurants, Café and Bar under Food and Beverage (F&B) Service Activities (56). The reason for choosing this industry was the fact that eating is the favourite past time in Singapore; Singaporeans are just obsessed with food (Ling, 2010). Restaurants are popping up all over the city state; hence we wanted to understand what made some succeed while others fail. Furthermore, two of us aspire to setup restaurants in the future, which allowed us to do an in-depth analysis of the industry, the owner mind-set and some best practices. In 2009, there were 2,107 restaurants (35.2%) of all F&B industry, hiring 35,078 employees. In 2010, there were 2,261 restaurants (36.5%) and hiring 37,163 employees. A 7% increase in restaurants with a corresponding 6% increase in hiring year-on-year. Operating receipts increased by 10% year-on-year, while expenditure remained constant. Valued added revenue – contribution to the country’s XXP; increased by 11.5%. (Appendix 1, Table 1) Purchases of food and Remuneration of employees are the two biggest costs. However, rental has increased by almost 2% year-on-year, probably due to the shortages of space for rental. Purchases on the other hand reduced by more than 5%. (Appendix 1, Table 2) The outlook for the F&B sector is also bright according to the Workforce Development Agency. It is fuelled by domestic demand and with the Integrated Resorts...
