Part A: Identify Innovation Opportunities
Products offering
The Pesto restaurant has a very vibrant vibe in it. It is the place to have great food and wine in
this social environment. The menu of the restaurant features a very different range and variety of
ethnic ingredients and also provide recipes to the customers who have diverse taste experience.
The dining experience in the restaurant reminds us that dinner there about a provincial lifestyle
as it sells organic meat and dairy. though it sells meat and dairy it also has vegetarian options on
the menu for the dinners. The cuisine of the restaurant cells needs and ingredients that are
available in the local market.
The Pesto restaurant Moseley offers traditional and Tuscan recipes that are not what available in
any of the Italian restaurant menus. The restaurant provides the patrons which are excellent in
quality along with its unique cultural experience. along with this the restaurant also uses two
organic ingredients that are sourced from Italy.
Culture
The Pesto restaurant our first traditional and Tuscan recipes in their menu. The restaurant sells
vegetarian and poultry items in it man u you but it should also add plant-based foods to the menu
you which means using those ingredients that are high in proteins and also are gluten-free.
Though the restaurant is unique with its menu still consumers don't want to eat familiar foods all
the time. Along with the Tuscan and Italian cuisines, it should also add Asian, Latin, and
Mediterranean menu. Giving customers what they want when it comes to the flavors globally it
becomes a priority for the restaurant to add highlighted global items in it such as sources made
from ingredients that are authentic to the cultural cuisines.
Though the head chef and CEO in the restaurant, Rose Rossi have a very good experience in her
skills but still the competition in the market with other restaurants is very high for Pesto.
Current business relations
The Pesto restaurant is open 7 days a week that is it is open on weekend days also for the dinner
from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. the way to start and the kitchen staff along with the restaurant
manager works from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. the restaurants' layout which includes the dining
room the serving line and the kitchen has been designed with efficiency and flexibility to
accommodate with the customer traffic and meal periods. All the orders are done by the head
chef of the restaurant along with receiving and stocking of the products is also done by the head
chef. The suppliers of the pastels restaurant which includes fresh products, dairy, and meat along

developed relationship with its suppliers so that it can receive the products with high quality at
its best rate.
Though it has a unique menu that features ethnic Italian food but still the cost of the food they
serve is very high.
The other restaurants in the metro like that of Cha Cha Char- Eagle St. Pier has a high quality of
food and services along with it has a river view for its customers and diners that has established
its reputation in a very good way in the market. There is also another restaurant Otto Ristorante
which is also high in its quality of Southern Italian cuisines which is a very inviting atmosphere
for its diners as it has a high price point as that of pesto but still, the quality of the food and the
service provided there is very high and it has a very interesting decor which has made its
reputation good in the market. The other restaurant in the metro of Australia is the George
Paragon seafood restaurant which sells very good quality of seafood and it also has a river view
for its diners. These restaurants have something common with that of the pesto restaurant. But
still, pesto can compete with them by developing the social media marketing channel to attract
more and more clients that will help its business grow. The target in the market for pesto is good
quality and health-conscious diners but still, it needs to push its quality over quantity and value
high-quality services for its customers.
Do pesto also serve cuisines that are traditional and health-conscious but still it also has its goals
that are maintaining the profitability of the restaurant and the quality of the food and services that
are provided to its customers. it also needs to maintain customer satisfaction to 100% by
providing the health-conscious and good service to them. For building up the customer base it
should proceed with the marketing system on an online basis so that the customers and others
can know more about it.
Innovative practices
The Pesto restaurant can upgrade its waitlist management by introducing a waitlist management
application that will serve its customer online with the menu so that the customer finds it easy to
order their services instead of standing in line and waiting for their orders. This will prevent
unsightly crowding inside the reception area and will allow customers to room for real without
having to remain on the premises.
It can also be innovative with the idea of customer-facing tabletop tablets and kiosks. As it
allows the diners to browse the menu and send the orders directly to the kitchen. This is also
helpful in paying the bills without the need of a live server. It will be beneficial for the restaurant
because the faster the orders the faster the service providers, the happier the diners, the bigger the
tips, the faster the turnaround and which can result in greater sales in the restaurant. This will
help the weight staff to pay attention to the tables and guests who are empowered to order the
drinks and dishes at their leisure.
Though the restaurant opens for dinner timings only that is between 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. it
should also turn towards the online and mobile ordering that will be beneficial not only for the

restaurant but also for the staff. By effectively executing this plan it will be easy for its customers
to see the menu and buildings online which will be helpful for the business to get great
experience with the competition outside. It will cause less pressure on the wastage of food along

Viability and sustainability
Viability is related to the cash flow of the project with the financial resources so that it continues
for the long-term. The measuring of sustainability with the right skills and attitude towards the
achieving of goals in the market in future. The impact of environment is associated with
developing and operating the asset are within the carrying capacity of the restaurant, so that it
can play its part in ensuring a healthy environment into the future both for the staff and for the
customer.
It is easy to overlook or ignore viability and sustainability issues in the rush to secure the growth
of the restaurant but to improve or develop it both resources and time are needed in making the
challenges to become secure as there is always assumption that things will pan out OK or it can
be dealt with when the time comes but still going through it carefully is must.

Part B: Create a business strategy that incorporates innovations
Innovation strategy
Without an innovation strategy, innovation improvement efforts can easily become a grab bag of
much-touted best practices. There is nothing wrong with any of those practices per se. A
company without an innovation strategy won’t be able to make trade-off decisions and choose all
the elements of the innovation system.
As mentioned in part a, the Pesto restaurant can upgrade its waitlist management by introducing
a waitlist management application that will serve its customer online with the menu so that the
customer finds it easy to order their services instead of standing in line and waiting for their
orders. This will prevent unsightly crowding inside the reception area and will allow customers
to room for real without having to remain on the premises.
It can also be innovative with the idea of customer-facing tabletop tablets and kiosks. As it
allows the diners to browse the menu and send the orders directly to the kitchen. This is also
helpful in paying the bills without the need of a live server. It will be beneficial for the restaurant
because the faster the orders the faster the service providers, the happier the diners, the bigger the
tips, the faster the turnaround and which can result in greater sales in the restaurant. This will
help the weight staff to pay attention to the tables and guests who are empowered to order the
drinks and dishes at their leisure.
Though the restaurant opens for dinner timings only that is between 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. it
should also turn towards the online and mobile ordering that will be beneficial not only for the
restaurant but also for the staff. By effectively executing this plan it will be easy for its customers
to see the menu and buildings online which will be helpful for the business to get great
experience with the competition outside. It will cause less pressure on the wastage of food along
with eliminating the incorrect orders made over the phone. Making this happen can make
additional items being ordered online leading to higher sales.
Problems Pesto is facing
The problem it is facing is the cash flow of the finances. As it restaurant sells vegetarian and
poultry items in it man u you but it should also add plant-based foods to the menu you which
means using those ingredients that are high in proteins and also are gluten-free. Though the
restaurant is unique with its menu still consumers don't want to eat familiar foods all the time.
Along with the Tuscan and Italian cuisines, it should also add Asian, Latin, and Mediterranean
menu. Giving customers what they want when it comes to the flavours globally it becomes a
priority for the restaurant to add highlighted global items in it such as sources made from
ingredients that are authentic to the cultural cuisines.
Though the head chef and CEO in the restaurant, Rose Rossi have a very good experience in her
skills but still the competition in the market with other restaurants is very high for Pesto. The
rental cost is also very high of the restaurant as they are not facing good financial condition due
to their high costs of food they serve, they only have few and particular customers who come to
the restaurant for quality once in a week.
