lot of customers during the day and the night. It was also found that the prices for their services
vary with time. The prices also vary with the quality of the services that are given within the
facility. It was observed that during the evenings, it is the time that the facilities receive a lot of
clients and this is the time that it was observed the prices usually go hire. It was also found out
that the facilities are located in the busy towns where the population is very high. The target
market for the restaurant was found out to be the people who travel long distances and the people
who live within the town. The people who travel for long distances stop there to take their meals
before they continue with their journey. On the side of the night club, it was found that the target
market is the people who are youngsters. It was also discovered that the expenditure for both the
facilities was very high due to the high number of customers. It was also observed keenly that the
staff within the facilities were very qualified and dedicated to performing their roles.

The club was started seven years ago. It started as a small joint where people could buy take
away drinks. The joint had no space for people to seat and drink. But years later, expansion was
done and people could now find the place to seat and have their drinks.
b) Impact of Design Planning on the Business
The club is located near a mall which is very busy in both the nights and the day. The club is also
located near a busy petrol station that works both during the day and the night. Due to the busy
nature of both the mall and the petrol station, the club gets a higher number of customers. The
average customer spend is quite good because the club is always filled into capacity during the
night. The staff employed in the club are very qualified hence they offer quality services to the
customers. The target market for the club is the youth who are aged between the age of 18 and 35
years. The loud music that is played within the club attracts the youths hence leading to the club
being into full capacity during the night. Due to the long years within the market, the club has its
loyal customers who visit the club regularly. The design of the club also plays a great role
towards attracting more customers (Council, 2018).
c) Visual Representation of the Facility
The club is designed in way that there is spacing within the corridors. This helps in the
movement of the customers. The club also has a dancing floor for its customers. It also has a
balcony that faces the road where the customers can sit and enjoy watching the vehicles that are
passing during the night (Tran, Ovtracht, 2018). Below is how the club looks like.
