Values
Current positioning
Our quality products and services focus on three points that is: tasty and refined food, fresh and elegant atmosphere and friendly services.
Strengths
Cultural atmosphere- the products and services would be design to fit the cultural practices and beliefs to the visitors. The restaurant would have a high culture of high class with unique catering and special characteristics and would be based on deep ethnic background
Healthcare care – among the products that would be offered is the Chinese flower, these flowers when consumed would improve the immunity of the body, reduce body internal heat, regulate body function and improve eye sight amongst other advantages
Location advantage- the chosen place is Barcelona city, Spain. This place has a very factors which are beneficial to the tourist (Theaker, 2017).
Weakness
Lack of capital- cost advantage does not exist. Catering industry has grown very sharply in the past five years. Some brands are also increasing their marketing. This may bring us some negative impact to our restaurant (Stephenson, 2018).
No specific group of customers- the expected customers are only base on the number of tourism arrival into the area but there is no guarantee that they would need for the services, another thing is that some of them may not be aware of the products flavor or health function and may take time for the customers to realize and accept (Paley, 2017).
Opportunity
Due to the constant development of Spain’s catering industry, income and employment quantity isi increasing in the industry. Most of the restaurants in Spain have started to realize the importance of brand shaping, aiming on the advancement of the scale of business by utilizing franchise and business chain. Many restaurants in the area deal mainly the western food, the food is booming gradually but most of them are still operating on low scale. Today, as level of income is advancing, customers will not only get interested with the taste of the food but it will also look it at the food diversification, health leisure, balance nutrition, cultural connotations and the dinning environment. The current Spain’s catering industry, most of the companies have started to focus on the development of food product and transferring food culture (Silva and Las, 2017).
Threats
The basis of a catering industry is to have delicious food and excellent services, for this to be realized there must be an excellent administrative staff, waiters and chefs. Due to the existence of many kind of business in Spain, the organizations are in demand for customers and talented employees as well. Currently we do not have sufficient managers and chefs in the industry this has the sensation of talent grapping (Davis, 2017).
Restaurant Location and Design
Because the business is new and we do not have enough capital, it is difficult for us to grab talents which would be a big threat to our business.
