Buffet Style
The buffet style plays important role in service rendering process. In this regard,
management has different buffet style through which restaurant can render wide range of food
and other dishes. In the present restaurant, managers are focusing on high end services along
with luxurious experience. In this context, restaurant will select the Sit down Buffet style. In this
process, guests will sit on their tables for having meal and other services, and wide range of
services and food will be offered by staff of restaurant. In this process, the management has to
hire more workers or staff for handling different operations associated with restaurant
management. In order to provide royal experience, a sit down buffet will be found very effective
for managing any kind of formal meal and this approach will be increased the effectiveness of
service rendering process by serving a more successful manner with the help of great atmosphere
(Different type of buffet styles, 2010) In this approach, management of restaurant has to consider
several factors e.g. if there is wine to served along with the meals and different food dishes,
glasses of wine are put in advance on the table and wine is going to be served by waiter. In this
kind of meals, restaurant has to acquire more than the usual number of waiter for handling
different operations associated with service delivery.

Promotion and Marketing
Marketing is considered as most significant tool which management has to undertake for
creation of public awareness among local public and target consumers that would assist
management in order to attract more consumers towards different services of hospitality firm.
Following is the marketing mix of restaurant: Product: The city is identified as one of the most popular destination of India so as
several hospitality companies are managing operation in Udaipur so as selection of
product range is considered as most crucial part for management. On the basis of
competitors, the management is offering wide range of choices of food (Singh, 2007). In
this process, the major strategy that would be followed will be offering combo products.
Furthermore, an attractive menu is set by managers with the help of detail market
research that contains wide range of Indian and Italian Cuisine along with the hard and
soft Drinks. Different services of restaurant are going to be categorized in the three
segments such as Al-carte, combo packs and take away food system. Pricing: For the Restaurant, penetration pricing strategy will be adopted by manage as a
result new restaurant will be able to capture an appropriate market share by entering into
market at relatively lower prices. This approach will be found very effective in order to
promote different food dishes and services of Royal Street Restaurant & Bar during the
initial stage of restaurant. The primary objective of restaurant is to provide rich royal
experience to consumers so as company would adopt premium pricing approach after
some time. This approach will be found very effective for creation of distinct goodwill
and brand value of restaurant (Kennedy, 2006). Thus, pricing strategy would be as per the
quality of food and service rendering process that would provide unique experience to
consumers. Apart from that, customers can be attracted by combo meals through which
consumer will get good food along with great price. Distribution: Royal Street Restaurant & Bar will be distributing different tools such as
online website, mobile calls, mobile messages and social media. An individual will be
able to book tables through all these tools. Advance booking will be done compulsory by
restaurant manager for providing assurance to consumers about quality of services along
with the taste of food. By selecting all mediums of distribution, restaurant organization
will be able establish direct connection with large number of target consumers that would
11

increase the sales and goodwill of the firm (Salaimeh, 2008). In addition to that
management will use referral coupons for generation of future opportunities for sales
through which attractive discounts will be provided to regular consumers. It plays
important role for developing a strong base of loyal consumers.
 Promotion: At the initial stage of restaurant start up, management will have to manage
large amount of expenditure on different promotional and advertising activities. This is
because customers are not aware about the new restaurant. The aggressive promotional
strategy will be found very effective in order to put the restaurant in selection process of
target consumers by increasing their awareness about food products and services of
hospitality firm. In this process, the management of Royal Street Restaurant & Bar is
going to apply to both traditional both traditional (Print media, radio ads, pamphlets)
along with modern methods (digital marketing). Traditional tools such as newspapers,
magazines, radios etc. will be found very effective for increasing awareness of local
citizen as well as target consumers about services of new restaurant and its services.
Furthermore, by using the social media and mouth publicity, organization will be able to
attract large audience within limited period of time. In this context, modern
communication tools such as social media, mobile messages, online websites, emails etc.
will be found very effective for establishment of direct conversation with target
consumers (How to Create a Restaurant Marketing Plan, 20155). By establishing direct
contact with large number of target consumers, alteration can be made in menu and
service rendering process of Royal Street Restaurant & Bar as per the interest of
consumers.
Segmentation and Targeting
As per the scenario present restaurant, management is able to carry out market
segmentation into three target populations through which Royal Street Restaurant & Bar can
manage different services along with service rendering. Therefore, best food experience will be
provided to consumers:
 Individuals: It includes all those people who dine by themselves while visiting the beauty
of city. In this process, appearance of place and view from restaurant will be played
important role to attract individual consumers.
12

 Families: It is termed as group of people which consist of friends or nuclear relatives who
are going out for dining together (Salaimeh, 2008).
 Take Out: It includes all those people who will prefer to eat Royal Street Restaurant &
Bar's food in their respective home or at different citing locations than the actual
restaurant. Therefore, restaurant promotes all kind of services that are targeting to
different individuals.
The segmentation of the customers has been carried out on the basis of local people and
visitors around the globe. In this process, Royal Street Restaurant & Bar has addressed certain
issues that are mainly faced by the tourists in terms of cuisine along with the quality of food.
Thus, management is segmenting the customers of the basis of these two categories. Targeting
will be carried out as per the income and lifestyle of consumers. Furthermore, Youth people
along with consumers associated with high income group from local places in Udaipur and
visitors from around the globe will be targeted by organization in order to generate good return
and for ensuring the profitability of business.
Service Business Analysis
As per the present market analysis, it has been evaluated that the restaurant industry is
highly competitive and risky due to various other owners of restaurants in Udaipur are having
experience of several years for opening, running, and improving restaurants (Kennedy, 2006). In
addition to that the most of the new restaurants are opened by inexperienced owners who will
struggle or fail. However, those restaurants that have been started with the help of solid
understandings of the market needs, and management of inventory and staff have a much higher
chance of success, especially when combined with prior experience in the restaurant industry.
Apart from that it is examined that restaurants make more money by using inexpensive
and good quality ingredients and combining them in creative ways, cooking them properly as
well as selling them at a much higher price that result great taste with good profit (Racela,
Chaikittisilpa and Thoumrungroje, 2007). Any ingredients wasted in the kitchen will be
considered as wastage of money for the Royal Street Restaurant & Bar. Any time wasted in
seating customers, taking orders or preparing food will also be considered as reduction in new
opportunities for sales.
13

Furthermore, it is evaluated that the success in the restaurant industry is greatly
depending on the proper evaluation of risks and financial conditions. The ability of management
to handle enormous pressure will be found very effective for ensuring the success of restaurant.
