The entire restaurant concept of this project has evolved from the idea of Traditional Irish Food. In general, Ireland is located in Western Europe and the capital city is Dublin. The country is surrounded by sea, making seafood relatively common in the Irish cooking. Well-known Irish food usually includes of Irish stew, bacons, and potatoes (Food & Drink in Ireland, 2009). Furthermore, the Shamrock symbol, Guinness beer and St. Patrick’s Day are what people can recall when talking about Ireland. Concept Development: Restaurant Concept: Casual dining restaurant

Concept Name: The Restaurant name is Clonalis, la maison d’Irlande or Clonalis, the Irish House. The Clonalis House (Exhibit 1) is actually a one of the Ireland’s tourist attractions because it is an ancestral estate, which encompasses a long heritage. The House is located in the suburb of Castlerea. The property was owned by the O’Conors, the direct descendants of Irish Connacht’s dynasty in the 12th Century, since 1878 for more than 1500 years. The House was the first mass concrete house built in Ireland and was associated very much with the Irish politics.

Today the House serves the dual purpose of being one of the most important tourist attractions in Ireland and an accommodation for visitors. Nonetheless, the unique heritage and history of the Clonalis still remains. It is a major repository of correspondence, heirlooms, 600 year-old portraits of the O’Conors, and 7, 000 volumes of historical literatures. Influenced by Italian style, the architecture allows light to come in that creates bright and warmfamilyatmosphere (Clonalis House).

Inspired by the Clonalis House, the Restaurant ambience will communicate family atmosphere by blending both traditional and contemporary designs to offer warming and relaxing tone. Further details of the Restaurant will be explained later in this report. Vision, Mission, and Goal: Vision Statement: To be the destination Irish restaurant in Geneva and to obtain a place in customer’s mind when it comes to quality food and relaxation. Mission Statement: Deliver excellent customer service and bring about ustomer satisfaction by providing quality traditional Irish food and warming and inviting atmosphere with a blend of tradition and contemporary vibe where customers can just sit, relax and enjoy the best of what Ireland has to offer.

Goal: Establish strong brand position and obtain loyal customers to help the Restaurant breakeven within the first 6 months. Target Market: The Restaurant targets both male and female customers either local or tourists who are 30 to 55 of age with an annual income between CHF 60, 000 and CHF 120, 000. The primary target ranges within 5 km. adius; the secondary ranges within 20 km. and; the tertiary ranges more than 20 km. radius. Location and Demand Analysis: The Restaurant will be located on Place du Molard, Geneva. Why Geneva? Geneva is known for its richness and complexity ofcultureand people. According to Geneva Economic Development Office, more than 40% of Genevans are immigrants from somewhere else. Number of multinational companies as well as 24 international organizations, 200 diplomatic consulates, and 300 international NGOs are based in the city. This makes it a center of businesses, meetings, and conventions.

Moreover, the city is very compact and the transportation makes it very easy to travel around. Because of its diverseenvironment, Geneva is the most ideal place to open an international food restaurant such as Irish restaurant. Moreover, it is easier to operate an Irish restaurant in Geneva than other cities in Switzerland. Employees in the city are also used to working with people from distinct backgrounds. Another benefit is that people in Geneva tend to equally accept other national customs as the local’s. It will be less difficult to promote international food in such city than those which are hardly exposed to multi-cultures.

In fact, more than 1, 200 cuisines are from all over the world (Republic and State of Geneva: Department of Economy andHealth, 2009). Not only does Geneva have high potential demand due to its high traffic, but also it consists of many groups of people whom the Restaurant can penetrate. The demand of the Restaurant can be categorized into two groups, the locals and the tourists. To clarify each group, the locals are people who reside in Switzerland and the tourists are those who travel from other countries. Among the locals are many Irish people.

Number of Irish associations, for instance the Geneva Irish Association and the Irish Folk, indicates that there are specific or direct groups of demand for the Restaurant. According to the Embassy of Ireland, 4, 000 Irish citizens reside in Switzerland in 2008 and the number seems to be increasing annually (Flights of the Earls, 2009). Beside the locals are the tourists. More than 1. 3 million tourists visit Geneva in 2008 (Exhibit 2) (Geneva Tourism, 2009). Among these are business delegates who came to attend international conferences, which are held throughout each year.

The monthly average tourist arrivals in Geneva are shown in Exhibit 3. Based on the information collected, it is anticipated that the average demand of the Restaurant composes of 40% locals and 60% tourists. Why Place du Molard? Place du Molard is located between Rue du Rhone and Rue du Marche (Exhibit 4), which are the famous shopping streets in Geneva. Rue du Rhone is full of exclusive shops and brand names that target high-income customers such as Catier, Patek Philippe, Bulgari, and Louise Vuitton just to name a few.

On the other end of Place du Molard is Rue du Marche, which is a traffic-free shopping street full of fashion, electronics, and several department stores (Geneva Destination Guide). These streets are one of the attractions of the city. People come here to relax, socialize, and spendmoney! Thereby locating the Restaurant between these streets will attract the demand from both sides, which match the demographic of the Restaurant’s target market. Besides those shopping streets are Cathedral St. Pierre, Jet D’eau, the Flower Clock, and Mesee International de la Reforme.

These tourist attractions definitely are beneficial to the Restaurant location because they draw more potential customers. Degree of Competition: To analyze the degree of competition of the location, Porter’s 5 Forces framework (Porter’s 5 Forces, 2007) is applied. The framework takes into consideration of five basic factors of the business: threat of substitutes, barrier to entry, buyer power, supplier power, and degree of rivalry (Exhibit 5). Threat of substitutes: Substitutes of the Restaurant are those that take away the Restaurant’s share of the customers’ pocket.

Based on Exhibit 4, there are many other substitutes ranging from takeaways to fine dining restaurants that customers can choose from. These substitutes are both direct and indirect competitors that are represented by green dots. Moreover, as indicated in Exhibit 6, the two direct competitors are Spring Brother and Flanagan’s Irish Pubs. Both of them locate about 500 meters away from Place du Molard. However, they are pubs whereas the Clonalis, la maison d’Irlande is more like a casual dining restaurant. Therefore, based on this information, the threat of substitutes for the Restaurant is high.

Nonetheless, looking at it from another point of view, it can be argued that when restaurants concentrate within the same area, it usually creates a pull of demand. Also, since there are already two Irish pubs in the area, it implies that there is demand for Irish food. Barrier of entry: This is to analyze how easy it is to open a restaurant in the area. It seems that the location is already full of restaurants and shops. Also there are other requirements such as cost of capital and regulations that need to be fulfilled to open a restaurant. However, it does not mean that it is not possible to open one.

Therefore, the barrier to entry is moderate. Buyer power: The buyer power is the impact that customers have on the Restaurant. Again, there are many substitutes that customers can choose from around the area. However, at the same time, the Restaurant is dependent on wide range of customers, not only specific ones. Therefore, buyer power in this case tends to be moderate. Supplier power: Suppliers are those whom the Restaurant buys its supplies in order to operate the business. These may include equipments, decorations, and ingredient suppliers. The supplier power is low because the Restaurant can choose its suppliers for many sources.

Degree of rivalry: Taking all the factors together, it seems like the degree of rivalry is moderate. Opening a restaurant in the specific location is not easy because it will need to compete with all the existing others; but on the other hand, it is possible to start up one. To survive in the market, the Restaurant needs to differentiate themselves from the others. These differentiations include the food; service style, atmosphere, and experience that the Restaurant offers to create values, which will be perceived by the customers. The Restaurant Food and Beverage Selections:

Starters, main courses, and deserts are offered in the Clonalis, la maison d’Irlande. To reflect Ireland’s geographic, surrounded by the sea, the Restaurant’s menus compose a variety of seafood dishes such as crab, salmon, shrimp, oyster and mussels. Alternatively, the Restaurant will also offer lamb, beef and vegetarian dishes, which are well-known selections from Ireland. Besides the starters and main dishes are delicious Irish desserts to finish off their meals. To complete their courses, customers can choose to have wine, soft drinks, or hot beverages (Exhibit 7) that are carefully selected to match the dishes.

Six white wines, three red wines and two Rose wines are well-paired with seafood and other dishes in the menu (Exhibit 8). Moreover, the Restaurant will as well make available for seasonal menus for winter (December to February), spring (March to May), and summer (June to August) (The Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems, 2009). These dynamic menus are selected to match with seasonal temperatures and ingredients. They also create more varieties for the customers; for instance, the customers can have Beef and Cabbage Rolls in springtime and Iced Red Fruits Hot White Chocolate Sauce for summer desert.

The overall menu prices range from CHF 6. 00 to CHF 25. 00. Theme and Decorations: The overall Restaurant theme would be a mixture of traditional and contemporary designs while maintaining the sense of the Irish culture. As suggested by its name, the Irish Clonalis House will inspire the Restaurant design. The interior and exterior of the Restaurant will be decorated with warm pastel tones of green and yellow to give the sense of Irish sophistication and relaxation. The high ceiling and big windows will capture available light to aerate and brighten up the room.

A medium-sized chandelier is hung in the middle of the room to moderately generate traditional and elegant ambience. Long curtains with pattern of lemon yellow and green of the Irish Elf flowers will make the atmosphere livelier. The wall will be decorated with oil canvases of the Clonalis House and its views, watercolor of Irish countryside, and replica portraits of the O’Conors, the property’s original owner, to blend the atmosphere with the history of the Clonalis House. In addition, shelves of books will be installed on one section of the wall to mimic the library in the Clonalis House.

In addition, rattan tables and chairs with tables will be used to maintain wooden texture as the traditional Irish and at the same time soften the overall texture. Cushions and pillows will be placed on the chairs to make the atmosphere looks cozy. Also, every table will be embellished with soft-tone flowers to add colors, freshness and refreshing scent to the tables. Moreover, decorating plants will be added to modernize the overall atmosphere. (A reference picture is in Exhibit 9, which is similar to the Restaurant theme and decorations. Waiters and waitresses will be dressed in pastel light tuxedo-vest uniforms as to create a more sophisticated look (Exhibit 10). Point of Differentiation: Generally, traditional Irish restaurant settings are pub or bar with dark feature wooden furniture and dim or enclosed atmosphere. These Irish pubs usually concentrate on alcohol beverages and offer limited service level. As opposed to other existing Irish pubs in Geneva, the Clonalis, la maison d’Irlande offers customers a relaxing and warming atmosphere while enjoying quality traditional Irish food and elegant elements.

Customers can expect a relatively high level of service at the Restaurant. All staff is trained to provide superior service in a friendly and professional manner. In addition, all traditional menus will be carefully decorated and served in white clean dishes. All of these will enhance the overall experience and impression that the customers will receive when dining at the Restaurant. In other words, the Restaurant is primarily selling relaxing and enjoyable experience SWOT Analysis: Strengths: * The Restaurant is situated in a very good location in Geneva, Place du Molard.

Thereby, the Restaurant is having a relatively high possibility to attract potential customers in this crowded area. * Focuses on providing Irish food with a different restaurant’s style, design and atmosphere. None of the existing Irish Pubs and Restaurants nearby does the same concept. * Offers relatively high service level that will meet or exceed customers’ expectation. * High quality of food and beverages. * The food price ranging from CHF 6. 00 to CHF 25. 00 appears to be of value in terms of food quality and services that customers can expect to receive from the Restaurant. Weaknesses: New to the market therefore, it requires a certain period of time to gain customers’ awareness and the Restaurant’s reputation. * Lack of restaurant experience in the Geneva’s market. It takes time for the Restaurant to learn about operating business in the location in order to survive. * High set-up costs. Vulnerable in terms of cash flows. * Need to work extremely hard in order to achieve the 6 months breakeven goal. * Since the Restaurant provides many seafood dishes, it might be difficult to keep the food costs low because seafood costs in Switzerland is considered to be high. Opportunities: Develop a new range of Irish food for seasonal menus to avoid customers’ boredom seeing the same old menus all the time. * If the Restaurant’s concept is proved to be successful, the Restaurant can consider imitating the business conduct to other big cities such as Bern or Lausanne in Switzerland. Threats: * If the competitors move towards new and better Unique Selling Points or concepts, it is possible that they will take the customers away from the Restaurant. * Economic recession may reduce customers’ spending on food in the Restaurant. * Possibly, higher taxes imposed by the government on Restaurant businesses.

This will decrease in the overall performance in net profit/loss.
