services to the clients as per their individual requirement and ensure that they can leave the
gym in happy mood. It is believed that it is important to provide the right training equipment,
tools along with the infrastructure that can help provide right fitness training and thereby

Organizational risk analysis and summary
The organizational risk associated to starting up restaurant include the following:-
Lack of financing-Many restaurant owners establish business plan but face the risk of
funding. The investors might find it difficult to acquire credit from the market for the novel
project. In addition to this, the start up project might require a certain amount of period that
is a gestation period before starting to earn profit. This might make acquirement of capital
difficult.
Excessive demanding workload and unfocussed members of the staff. Again, right from the
stage of business planning to the process of opening as well as operating the restaurant, it is
important to work for long hours. Overload of tasks can divert the attention of the
employees and lead to sickness. This in turn can adversely affect the service of the business
(Starovoytova & Chugunova, 2016)
Location-The ones starting out the entire restaurant business need to understand the
importance of location of the new start up business. Whilst location is significant, it can
function against the owner. Therefore, wrong selection of a location for the business can

proper execution of the plan. Contingency planning for the risks of financing include
investment of certain time as well as resources. The risk due to work overload can be
mitigated by way of proper staffing plan and the scheduling of the work plan (Vo, 2014). In
addition to this, risk of establishing business in a wrong location can be mitigated by carrying
out proper market research and market analysis for proper segmentation, targeting and
positioning of the goods as well as services of the business.

particular business idea, acquiring finance in order to bring the idea to the market, developing
and designing ways of properly monitoring and executing the plan (Tran, 2016).
