(7) years.
JUSTIFICATION OF
LOCATION
Howardys Caf will be located at Shop #16, City Plaza, 22 Harbour Street, Port
Antonio for locals and tourist alike. It is ideal for the following reason:
The area is spacious. This geographical location provides a space for a parking
lot to be created.
The business is located near to the high way, motorist will have access to
obtaining meals, juices and pastries easily, since the business is a fast food
restaurant.
SELECTION OF
APPROPRIATE LABOUR
Howardys Caf will have a staff of eleven (11) persons ranging from
unskilled to professionals. These persons will be involved in various activities
and will have specific responsibilities too ensure the efficiency and
productivity of the business. They are:
FIXED CAPITAL
This includes the building, machines, vehicles and computers among others.
These items will be sourced from the proprietor personal saving and loan from
the commercial bank.
WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital includes stocks of raw material, cash and other items needed
for the day to day operation of the business.
ROLE OF THE
ENTREPRENEUER
The role of the entrepreneur is to bring together and organize factors of
production, that is, to ensure that the business runs smoothly and makes an
adequate amount of profit.
Planning
To get enough capital to sustain the business, that is, to purchase raw
materials, such as oil, rice, sugar and other ingredients that are needed.
Planning
To hire only certified staff where deemed necessary to ensure the efficient
operation of the business.
The entrepreneur brings new ideas and techniques to enhance the welfare of
society.
TYPE OF PRODUCTION
LEVEL OF PRODUCTION
The business will be engaged in domestic production that will provide service for the
community of Port Antonio. They will provide scrumptious meals and beverages to
people located in and around Port Antonio. We will use raw materials supplied by The
Grants Farm in Passley Gardens and food supply stores in Port Antonio to prepare
meals and beverages.
QUALITY CONTROL
MEASURES
Some quality control measures the business should adhere to are:
To use goods that are not expired which will result in high quality meals.
Quality control checks will be conducted to ensure that what is offered on the
menu and what is delivered to the public is not substitute for the real dishes.
USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Simple and advance technologies are used in the production process that will be used
within the business. Some advanced technologies that are used in the business are:
Computers
Telephones
The credit card system will make the business more efficient as it is widely
used by numerous persons and hence it will allow for quick payments of
meals.
The computers would be used to store data such as customers and staff
database for payroll. Record of stock would be alerted when the stock is
running out so that the stock can be replenished. Therefore, the business will
be very efficient as it is mostly likely will never be out of stock.
The telephone will be used to receive calls from customers wanting to make
appointments at the restaurant. Telephone will also be used to contact other
business such as those that provide the restaurant with goods.
Simple technologies such as graters, forks, trays and strainers will be used
along with complex technologies such as blenders and cake mixers among
others.
LINKAGES
The type of linkage to be derived from the business is backward linkage. Backward
linkage will be used with the farm and food supply stores as they will be providing the
raw materials to the restaurant, such as herbs, ground provisions, milk, fruits and
vegetables. Packaging materials will be bought from producers to be used in selling,
take out and other fast food items. Local materials such as fabrics and designer chairs
will be bought to decorate the restaurant.
Internally
The present plant and machinery could be worked harder to its full capacity.
This will result in the maximization of profits so the business will grow.
Some of the work could be done by machines which will allow work to be
done more quickly and efficiently. This would reduce labour cost as we would
not have to hire persons to do that specific activity.
Externally
The restaurant could expand by having more restaurant with the same name in
different parishes.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS
Government regulations that will impact on the business are:
The business will adhere to the environment laws and conform to zoning laws.
Workers having food handlers permit which is needed in the food service
industry in order to prepare food.
ETHICAL ISSUE
Pollution is an ethical issue. As such, the business will ensure that there is a proper
disposal facility in order to get rid of waste/garbage. Poor disposal of waste may
affect the business which will result in loss of customers.
