As commented by Chen et al., (2015, p. 570), the market analysis is used to determine the market in context to evaluate the position of the established or emerging markets. Evaluation of the current market helps to perform the actions that are not undertaken by the others. The future and the current risks are also estimated by this strategy.  In this case, the market analysis will be based on the restaurants operating in the same area and providing the same food and beverage items. The characteristics in context to the market analysis need to look amply at the outlook and the description of the industry, identification of the target market and position of the market.

As commented by Bahl and Chandra (2018, p. 10), the rate of consumption of juice and snacks in the country portrays a growth rate of 13 % (as analyzed by IBISWorld statistics). With such a high growth rate there is a need to provide food and beverage products which are free from chemical substances which are added to improve the lifespan. As commented by Grekova et al., (2014, p. 175), several cases have been noticed where some substances caused heart diseases and cholesterol. The main attempt needs to be to cater to public demands without affecting their health.

The analysis is used to determine the viability of the business idea involving the food and beverage restaurant. As commented by Hanssens et al., (2014, p. 535), the analysis is conducted by checking the technical, market and commercial feasibility. Overall risk assessment activity is also conducted during the analysis. Checking the business against the feasibility analysis description the restaurant business can be said to have met the market requirements (Meggitt, 2013).

Threats

The common threat to this industry lies from the competition. There are so many restaurants in the market arena that are catering to the same consumer demands.

As stated by Lim et al., (2018, p. 20), to make sure effectiveness is portrayed in operations; the working team will be sub-divided into several departments such as financial, purchasing, production department, and customer-services departments. Every department will perform specified tasks. Financial duties will be performed by the financial department. The Purchasing department will be making sure that raw materials are available. The Customers will be served by “Customer service team/department.

The following is the menu of food and beverages:

The restaurant management will create a research team which will always keep the restaurant-finance department updated on the current cost of the raw materials. The created team will also help the restaurant in purchasing and searching the raw materials. Insurance will be applied to the properties of raw materials to ensure safety in case of theft or fire accident. The restaurant will keep in mind a HACCP approach.  As commented by Jung and Yoon (2012, p. 370), HACCP plan will be documented by the principles in the context of the system. The business strategy is that it will rely in c upon context to the self-production of food and beverages. The products will be incurred free from chemicals. The lifespan of the raw materials will be improved through the investment regarding the latest technology. They will generally incorporate technology-based storage such as the use of refrigerators. Food hygiene and safety is the foremost thing when it comes to the HACCP system. As opined by Wallace et al., (2018, p. 456), the restaurant needs to follow the regulations regarding storage, production, and purchasing of the products. The principle in context to the HACCP needs to be followed to ensure food safety:

Conduction of hazard analysis

The restaurant has put in place the health concerns of the customers by obtaining foods and beverages free from any chemical. This will result in the attraction of a higher number of customers.
• Place. As commented by Huang and Sarigöllü (2014, p. 114), to achieve the celebrity of the business, it will be located in a station where there existed a related restaurant-business before. The place is also accessible to many people. With these location advantages, the restaurant will experience a super marketing environment.

• People. As commented by Datta, Ailawadi and van Heerden et al., (2017, p. 5), to provide an excellent customer service process the management will introduce various departments in the restaurant.

• As stated by Jung and Yoon (2012, p. 370), the management will innovate on the process which will be fast and effective for the customers. By employing skilled personnel acts as a way of perfecting the service offering process.

The business venture stands different from other ventures because of its unique concept of food and beverages. As stated by Psomas and Kafetzopoulos (2015, p. 135), preservatives are generally present in all the drinks that are provided by the restaurants. But this restaurant will cater to provide no added preservatives and contamination free drinks. The food will be examined by hazard analysis. HACCP will be given innate importance to ensure food safety.

List of staffs

The staff of the restaurant includes:

• Customers services employees
• Accounting employees
• Production employees
• The managing employees
• Cleaning employees

• The employee should have at least one year of experience in the applied department.

• He/she should be ready to work under minimal supervision.

The business will be a partnership entity where two or more investors will contribute fund for the launching of the restaurant. At the beginning of the business, the operation will be run using the funds contributed. As commented by Hamzah and Sutanto (2016, p. 332), the business will then be run using the acquired funds from the customers. A certain portion of the profit acquired will be used to expand the business. Remaining profit will be equally shared among the investors. Proper analysis of the quality of the products needs to be done with the use of total quality management, and it would be beneficial for the business in the coming future. This would enhance the sustainability and competitiveness.
