3.1 Service Description
Welcome Restaurants USA Inc. through its investment in Indian Express Restaurant Inc. will
be able to offer its clientele a unique blend of Indian cooking different from the typical
North or South Indian fare dished out by most restaurants. Using the concept of fusion
cooking, Welcome will be able to present unique and eclectic assortments of appetizers,
entrees and deserts that are rare to find in a typical Indian restaurant.
3.2 Competitive Landscape
With its incredibly diverse population New York City is able to support many restaurants
serving up different varieties of foods. The Indian full service restaurant is no different and
New York City currently boasts around 200 restaurants that serve some kind of India fare.
However of the 200 odd full service Indian restaurants the vast majority of them focus on
providing the traditional and dependable delicacies of North Indian cooking; around 20% of
the all Indian restaurants offer South India delicacies and very few of them are true
competitors to Welcomes Hotels USA Inc. Given the unique blend of foods from the entire
sub-continent Welcome Restaurants USA Inc. will be able to offer improved derivatives of
classic Indian cooking.

4.2 Target Market: Business Statistics Summary
Minority owned businesses are well represented in New York City as we can see with Black,
Hispanic and women owned firms running better than the national averages. Having a
diverse population is key to the success of Welcome Restaurants USA Inc. since Indian food
is most appealing to clients who prefer diversity in their food habits.
Retail sales per capita another measure of the spending power of local New York City
residents is $16,178 a good 57% above the national average retail sales per capita of
$10,615. This again bodes well for us in the restaurant business.

4.3 Target Market: Age & Race Demographics
The Age chart below highlights the fact that New York City has a good share of its
population between the ages of 18 and 65 a good 64% - higher than the national average
of 61%. We believe that is an important element of success in the restaurant business since
this is the age group that is most likely to have disposable income and eat away from their
homes.

The race graph below simply reiterates the earlier mentioned diversity that New York City
has come to be known for. With 24% of its population claiming Hispanic origin and 11% and
18% claiming Asian and Black heritage, NYC offers restaurants serving Indian foods like
ours an excellent client base.

Page
4.4 Target Market: Income & Housing Demographics
The Income distribution of households in New York City shows a substantial amount of
households earning between $35k and $100k what is very important however is to
understand that in New York City the composition of households is very different from the
rest of the country. For example only 39% of the population in New York City is married
versus 52% for the national average. A lot more single people means a lot less cooking at
home!

When the value of owner occupied housing metrics is compared we can see that New York
City is way ahead of the rest of the country with most of its housing stock valued higher
than $300k. It has always been expensive to purchase a home in New York City due to the
relatively higher values of property and we believe that this strongly points to the economic
strength and vitality in the local market place a very important element for us in the
restaurant business.

4.5 Target Market: Education Profile
With more 4 year college students and graduates than the national average, New York City
easily stands out as having a population of relatively better educated citizens. For
restaurants serving ethnic cuisine like Indian foods this is a very important element in the
marketplace. We strongly believe that fusion Indian cooking is well received by clients with
relatively higher education and economic backgrounds.

household on every item, we have decided to focus on the part that matters the most to us
and that of course the amount of money spent by households nationally on foods away from
home.
In 1997 we find that out of the total 104 million households in the nation the
annual expenditure was approximately $33k per household. Of this $2,876 or
8.50% of the total household expenditure was spent on foods consumed at home.
$1,823 or roughly 5.40% was spent on foods away from home. Also, $ 309 or
0.90% was spent on alcoholic beverages.
average
roughly
Another
roughly
When we look at 2007 we find that out of the 118 million households in the nation, the
average annual expenditure is $48,398. Of this $ 3,417 or 7.06% of the total expenditure
was spent on food consumed at home. Another $2,694 or roughly 5.60% was spent on food
away from home. Alcoholic beverages consumption remained roughly the same at 1% or
$497 in 2007.
The most important trend that matters to us is of course the expenditure on foods away
from home. It is significant to note that while this expense of 5.60% of total expenditure
does not mean that all the money is spent on full service restaurants let alone fine Italian
dining, it does however show that the consumers preferences nationally towards eating out
have not changed significantly between 1996 and 2007.
Clearly, as long as this trend of consumption of food away from home continues, all food
purveyors including fast food shops, limited service restaurants and full service restaurants
like us will do well. It is important to note that the 10 year period covered above does not
cover a protracted recession but does include the slowdown of 2001 2002 during which
the spending habits of the national population did not change towards outside food
consumption.

We believe that at Welcome Restaurants USA we have all three elements down pat! Our
choice of locations is the city of New York. A business friendly local government coupled
with a highly educated, well heeled population is the perfect venue for fine Indian dining
offered by Welcome Restaurants USA and Indian Express Restaurants.
Our diverse menu selection during both lunch and dinner hours has been developed after
years of experience in the industry by our chefs. Care has been taken to pick crowd
pleasers and house specials that are not easy to find in Indian dining and the fare is priced
very reasonably in line with local competitors.
5.2 Positioning
We are positioning ourselves to market to the middle to upper middle class clientele of well
heeled working professionals who live and work in New York City. Our typical customer is
Page
14
well educated having a graduate degree, working and/or living in New York city, looking for
a tasteful and different Indian dining experience than what is offered by the local deli.
Welcome Restaurants USA Inc. will advertise using all possible forms of media including
print, radio and television.
Our media advertising will be focused on publications serving the Indian community
India Abroad and Desi Talk.
Local promotions will also include sponsorship of local charity events and
participating in food drives and other local causes.
Slow market: As the words imply, this would indicate a weak market for the full
service restaurant business as was the case after the attack of September 11, 2001
where the full service restaurant business suffered its worse days in recent memory.
This experience is also possible during a recession where folks decide to be cautious
with their disposable income.
Good market: This would be a regular and normal environment during which healthy
business activity can be experienced by us in the full service restaurant business.
Great market: This would suggest an excellent operating environment with the
consumer feeling very confident and spending on food away from home a lot more
than normal. The dot com era of the late nineties was such an operating
environment where full service restaurants did extremely well.
15
Also indicated in our projections are the seasonal adjustments that are normal in our
business with January to March being tepid, business picking up in June and July,
and of course the best time for us being the holiday months of November and
December.
We have also indicated projections for 1, 2 and 3 restaurants. Our first initiative is to
the expand the operations of Indian Express Restaurant Inc. Once we have
consolidated our investments and operations there we intend to expand this
investment into one or two new operations.
