Element three- The Justification

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of Report

            This report is giving an overview of the reopening of the Dine Divine restaurant. This provides with the menu of the restaurant along with some recipe cards for the 6 items of the menu. The reason for creating a menu design as before starting the business is that it is believed that a good menu is a key to success of any restaurant and a vital part of a marketing plan similar to an advertising tool. The menu design that has been proposed will help the restaurant speak for it where the consumers would immediately have a positive perception in mind. Also, it is said that when entering a restaurant, the menu is the first thing that the visitors look at which helps the visitor decide what to order. Furthermore, it is evident to state a restaurant must focus its efforts on its taste, food, and ambiance. The menu that has been designed above is presentable, reader-friendly and gives a clear idea to the first time visitors what the restaurant promises to deliver.

1.2 Background

            There is a restaurant being sold in Lorne, Victoria. The buyer is going to buy this and then he needs to reopen it. At the moment, the owner is not going to refurbish the whole structure due to low capital but he is going to give it a new name and they going to make changes in the operations. Along with that, they are going to change the menu and recipes being served in the restaurant.

1.3 Scope/Aims/Limitations

            Scope/Aims:
            The scope of this report is to make a menu along with some recipe cards and to give an overall market review for the business, including its competitors, resources etc.
            Limitations:
            This report is limited to the capabilities and resources of an individual student of William Angliss Institute.  It has been made according to the limited knowledge of the writer and is containing some of the hypothetical data.  

2.0 Core Concept

2.1 One Mission Statement

The mission statement of Dine Divine is “to provide the community with the best product our region has to offer; prepared and served with love and commitment to quality”.

3.0 Feasibility Study

3.1 Location

            The restaurant is located in Lorne VIC 3232, Australia. Lorne is a popular holiday destination. It offers bush, beaches, and cultural attractions according to all the tastes and preferences. Along with that, Lorne is also a recognized tourist point.

3.2 Competitors

            There are various restaurants located in the region of Victoria, Lorne Australia which will be having a direct impact on Dine Divine restaurant. Mexican Republic, IPSOS, Maple Tree are some of the direct competitors of the Dine Divine.

3.3 Resources

            One of the major resources that the owner has is of experience. He is already having experience of running numerous restaurants. Moreover, he is also having contracts in Melbourne regarding the same industry and that will be very helpful for him in starting this new restaurant in the Lorne region. Another thing which is the most important for refurbishing this business is capital. Capital is required for everything from changing the operations of the business to changing the structure of the business (Manuti, De-Palma, 2014).

3.4 Demographics/Target Market

            Lorne is a well-known tourist town, and it is located an hour from Geelong and 2 ½ hours from Melbourne CBD. There are some locals which need to be targeted by the restaurants but along with them, there is a huge tourist population which is varying and must be captured by the Dine Divine.  

4.0 Menu Design

4.1 Architect

It is very often said that words can have supremacy whether they have used menu templates, day to day conversations or advertisements. The selected words can have a huge difference between a yes or no. This is evident when relying on printed words to convey a message. So, considering the market of Australia, the menu depicts a good word selection and a nostalgic sense for the overseas consumers residing in Australia. The menu card shows a clear separation of the main course, starters and desserts so that consumers can be given convenience and ease to select from. It is very clear from the menu above that the visitors are offered a number of options to choose from. Chicken and vegetable lovers are kept in mind where there are some scrumptious meals have solely been focused on them. For the people who think dessert is a must-have after fine dining, the restaurant offers a separate section to choose from. It is evident to state a restaurant must focus its efforts on its taste, food, and ambiance. The menu that has been designed is presentable, reader-friendly and gives a clear idea to the first time visitors what the restaurant promises to deliver.
The pricing of the items on the menu card has been done by keeping the current prices of the materials in mind. The prices are exclusive of tax which means that the standard tax rate is applicable to all the items. The price of every item is subjected to changes and hence, the prices would be updated accordingly. The menu card has been designed in such a way to ensure that the theme of the restaurant is reflected. Our menu is designed in a way that shows only one column. This is the sign of elegance and sophistication that our restaurant holds. The prices of the dishes are the reasons for keeping the middle segment of the income portion. The most important part is to review the menu every six months to compare the profitability with that of the industry. As our consumers would be very savvy and price conscious, our prices are thoroughly matched with that in the market so that our customers do not switch to our rivals. This not only keeps our menu profitable but also fresh and updated. Our menu design is very short and less descriptive. This means our customers can easily select the item they like and determine if there are any questions that they would like to ask before ordering. We are aware of the fact a huge menu card is time-consuming for the consumers, hence, our short menu card is convenient and will help to improve the turnover for the restaurant staff and our customers.

4.2 Aesthetics

            The menu of any restaurant is a clear depiction of how the restaurant is in reality so that a long-lasting impression can be left on the visitors. The menu card should be promising and deliver the same quality and impression as the ambiance and the taste. The menu card must have vibrant colors and different sections so that visitors could easily select their desired dish.
