  16. Determine Strengths & Weaknesses

  17. Market Research • Interview stakeholders. • Determine current eating habits & preferences • Where do they eat off campus & when? • Why do they eat off campus? • Where do students hang out between classes? • Where do commuter students park & what path to do they take to class? • Survey the campus community including students, faculty & staff. • Quantitative market research helps prioritize programming enhancements & to determine if specific groups are interested in specific services/dining options.

  18. Due Diligence • Complete a five-year financial analysis to outline how proposed program enhancements/changes will impact your bottom line. • How will meal plan participation change? • How much more labor will you need or how can the current labor be better utilized? Can you reduce labor? • If you open new locations, how many operating days will they be open and what will the average check be? • How will your operating expenses change? • How many can you anticipate growing your bottom line in a five-year period? • Preliminary design • Renovations: How can existing venues be renovated to improve ambiance, customer throughput & improve labor efficiencies? • How much will these renovations cost? • New locations: How much will these cost to create & when can you expect payback?
