I would touch on the background information.Firstly would be demographics of the island of Kauai where the total population is 35000 and the TOP 3 composition will be as follow, with Japanese at 27.5%, Caucasian 20% and Filipino 19.1%Furthermore, we understand the purchasing habits of the condominium occupants at restaurant are lesser than those occupants of hotels.
Tourism on Kauai are considered to be a popular destination due to its unique beauty among the travellers with 55% for them comprises of independent travelers.
In setting up the new restaurant, we have identified 3 main existing competitor that the new restaurant would potentially face. Firstly, Coconut Palace located at Coco palm resort which is further south of Coconut plantation. It is a renowned Polynesian-cuisine restaurant and have attracted many travellers. The second main competitors would be those located at the market place where there are fast food restaurants and specialty restaurants but of which serve limited menu items.
And next restaurants within hotels which serve 3 meals a day, with similar quality and service standards and the restaurants are decorated in Polynesian style. Having to consider these background knowledge, we understand that we would have to adopt the following plan1) Deviate from serving breakfast meal due to market saturation, 2) Unique and greater variety of food menu to compete with restaurants with limited-menu concepts3) Distinctive service quality from competitors; in terms of ambience/decorations and customer service provided by the new restaurant.
