COMPANY OVERVIEW
A. Introduction
Nouveau Hut is a Fast Casual Dining restaurant (combines elements of casual dining and fast
food) offers the convenience of fast food with the ambiance of sit-down dining. The emergence of this
market stems from consumer demand for meals that are healthier than fast food options yet still quick and
affordable.
A quaint bahay kubo under the shade of rustling trees. A bahay kubo made with bamboo-from it
walls and flooring to its nipa roofing giving you the feeling of being transporter to a far fling farm in the
barrios, which gives the place an authentic rural vibe.
Customers may enjoy meals and an unforgettable dining experience at the restaurant. It will be positioned
in the province where there is fresh air and lovely scenery to provide consumers with peace of mind and
enjoyment. Menu consists of quality ingredients that can be found at store and market establishments.
Activities on ground will also be provided for recreational such as follows:
Sitting by a nature scenery- having a picnic with your friends, family and love ones is a pleasant
event to spend quality time.
Photography - Grab your camera or cell phone. Nature is so lovable that you will never stop
yourself in capturing a scenic view! Trying photographing rough pathways, barns, cute little
puppies and birds, and other things that may interest you.
Meet like-minded people - As a recreational act, most of the people adopt the habit of calling and
meeting one of their old school or college friends once in a month, which reminds them of the
good old days and removes the current day worries.
No phone zone - One simple way to make diners enjoy the company of one another is to ban
phones! We aren’t suggesting to lock their smartphones away and throw away the key, but it
could turn this into a fun experience! Put a shoe box on the table, place the phones inside, and
seal it with a strip of tape. If the tape is still sealed by the end of the meal, the diner’s get a
discount off of their meal. The discount will provide an incentive to get people through the doors
and the gimmick will be a fun way to torment any millennials in attendance.
Nouveau Hut will offer a wide selection of foods and services that will surely accommodate
every customer and will exceed their expectations. And for it to be spiced up, activities are available
while they are waiting for their food. Reservations are also available especially during special occasions
and holidays. Tables are set inside and outside the restaurant for the customers to have choices either to
eat inside the airconditioned restaurant or to eat outside to fully experience the freshness and feels of
nature.

opportunity to have a look on how large is the market in a scale of the city. Nouveau Hut primary
competitors are the stores that offer the same services like the Arsenias, Pards and other fastfood and
casual dining restaurants.
2. Stage of Development
The creation of a unique and innovative, Nouveau Hut, farm to restaurant atmosphere will
differentiate us from the competition. The restaurant will stand out from the other restaurants in the area
because of the unique themed restaurant. Nouveau Hut anticipates achieving success within the next 3 to
5 years of operation and the next 10 years of market dominance. Since, Nouveau Hut is a startup business,
we are aware of risks, uncertainty, and challenges that may arise in the future. One of the expected risks
and uncertainty would be during the increase of infected person due to Covid-19, the business may
experience a decrease in sales, because of limited customers that may enter our restaurant. Therefore, a
cut on the expenses and some food offers will be done to minimize losses, if situation arises. But with the
dedication, vision and mission of the owner, Nouveau Hut will surely arise.
CHAPTER 3
A. Industry Analysis
Nouveau Hut is a fast casual dining restaurant that belongs to Hospitality and Leisure Industry.
Trending now in the food industry is the fast-casual restaurant. These eateries prepare food fast, but it’s
not fast food. The menu choices are more imaginative. The ingredients tend to be locally sourced. It’s by
far cooler and healthier eating than fast food. Fast-casual restaurants having a strong social media
presence, online reviews, as well as specials and discounts for online purchases are beginning to outlive
their fast-food cousins.
Pick-up and delivery were a convenience before the pandemic. In those first months, it was a necessity.
It’s just as big as ever right now, and we don’t think delivery will ever stop.
While some restaurants, even sit-down restaurants, quickly gathered a delivery staff, it was the third-party
delivery systems like food panda, hatid, toktok that cleaned up. They, too, were a convenience before the
pandemic; afterward, and to this day, they remain vital to the delivery of food.
B. Marketplace Analysis
The restaurant will be located at Roxas Drive, Guinobatan, Calapan City (urban area) since the
theme of it is nature related and needs a big and free space for enhancements and upgrades and also
because our target customers for the startup of the business are the residents and people of Calapan.
Nouveau Hut will accommodate and serve its customers regardless of their status and situation as long as
they are willing to avail our products and/or services. Ambiance, service, product pricing and geographic
location of the business can boost and attract its market.
Furthermore, proponents thought that location and ambiance would be more appealing to the majority of
the target demographic. Instagrammable view and nature homey feels that will make them feel cozy with
addition of activities that the business provides. Quality service and fresh ingredients is what they will
surely love and will make them more satisfied. Because of this, Nouveau Hut is designed to complement
its location and customers’ preference.
C. Market Segmentation
Market segmentation is a marketing, advertising, and sales strategy in which brands divide their
target market into smaller, more manageable groupings based on common ground. Simply said, each
market segment's clients have qualities that firms may use to help them succeed.
Nature ambiance in a restaurant has the potential to evoke positive emotions, reduce stress, and support

MARKETING STRATEGY
Identifying a target market allow entrepreneurs to focus on those customers who are likely to
purchase product and services. It improves marketing strategies and customer experience, and builds
brand awareness and loyalty. In order for Nouveau Hut to attract potential customers and encourage the
existing ones to continue patronizing the business, Niche Marketing Strategy will be used in the start-up
of the business. Niche Marketing Strategy is a strategy where businesses promote their products and
services to a small, specific, and well-defined audience.
The restaurant will be established and erected at Guinobatan, Calapan City. Since one of the
objectives of the business is for the customers to experience peace and enjoyment in a nature environment
setting, the location of it will be perfect to achieve its goals. Social media marketing and online
advertising will also be used as well as printed advertisements such as posters. Nouveau Hut is open and
available for all actual and potential customers who wants to experience the quality service and product of
the business.
Nouveau Hut provides quality product and services that are beneficial and according to the
likeliness of its customers. The facilities and services will surely be in their best conditions at all times as
these are some of the basic concerns and needs of the customers and will be checked regularly to ensure
the quality, comfortability and proper accommodation. Products are ensured to be freshly served with
proper handling and sanitation during the preparation up to the serving. Dishes will be cooked and taste
according to their likeness, as well as the beverages, side dishes, and deserts. Nouveau Hut assures that
everything will be in an affordable price and depends on what they avail. To our loyal and patronizing
customers, we will be giving loyalty cards for exclusive discounts during some events and special
occasions. Nouveau Hut will surely be an attraction and great place to the market for it is the first in the
area and in the whole province.
C. Pricing Strategy
Costing are based on the standard price of the competitors plus markups. However, we make sure to
lessen the cost 2% than its market price in order to promote the resto to the market.
Gather menus from 5 to 7 restaurants in the market and identify overlaps with our menu. For comparable
menu items, pinpoint a high point, a low point, and calculate an average price.
Balance your high-cost menu items with your low-cost ones.
Finding balance isn't an overnight process. It takes time, testing, and ongoing analysis to really dial in and
get your menu just right. We are using the Cost-Plus Pricing Strategy. Basically, the restaurant owner
accounts for all of the costs that go into a plate of food, including the fixed costs, such as the wages that
are paid to the cooks and wait staff, the rent, and the utility bills.
D. Advertising and Promotion Strategy
One of the marketing tools that many business use to increase product awareness, generate more
leads, and boost customer engagement are the advertising and promotion strategy. Effective marketing
strategies bring growth with the target customers, helps to define clear marketing objectives and further
develop the business brand. The promotion team of Nouveau Hut will use the following strategies:
The simplest and most often used tool for advertising a business is social networking. Using facebook
boosting as being one of the most cost-effective tools, conducting online advertising is advantageous for
the business because many individuals use it on a daily basis. It could also assist the company in
constantly engaging with a large number of customers and becoming aware of their concerns and ideas.
2. Tarpaulins
Because the business is near the main city and port, using tarpaulins for marketing and promotions
would be an excellent way to promote the company's products and services. It is a basic but successful
marketing strategy for promoting the product business. Tarpaulins will quickly capture the attention of
customers and will assist the company in raising brand awareness faster and at a lower expense.
3. Grand Opening
When beginning a new business, having a grand opening ceremony is critical to help establish the
company in the market. It can also draw attention to the business and bring in new customers. Large
balloons, displays, inflatables, and loud music will undoubtedly attract and draw attention to the business
from customers and passers-by.
Discount or gift vouchers and loyalty cards are an effective marketing strategy for increasing brand
awareness and encouraging new and existing customers to make purchases from the business. All of the
customers will be given chance to experience the quality product and services of the business at a
discounted price. Reduced prices of the products will last for 2 days from the grand opening or special
events and occasions.
This section states the big picture of why and how parties came together and includes:
This section identifies the mutual and joint responsibilities (collaborative tasks) and the expected
result of those joint efforts. In addition, it lists the specific roles and responsibilities of each entity and
clarifies the purpose of the MOA.
This section should detail the amount of funding, if any, that one party will pay the other and the
timing of the payment. The payment schedule should include a timeline of specific deliverables that will
trigger payment.
This segment identifies the effective date of the agreement, its term (if there is one), and how the
agreement can be modified or terminated.
Finally, to demonstrate agreement with the terms of the MOA, spaces are provided for the names
and signatures of an official from each party who is authorized to approve agreements on the party’s
behalf. A space for the date the agreement was signed is also required. The MOA is not in effect until all
parties have signed the MOA. Each party should then be provided with a signed original for its files.
F. Sales Strategy
Sales strategy is a detailed outline of the business plan for reaching out and selling to its target
market. The strategy focuses on how each product and service of a business will be sold and also
identifies the steps that will help in meeting the targeted sales of the business.
In the geographic location of the Nouveau Hut which is in Guinobatan, Calapan City which specially
targets a large population since it is close to the port and main city, the strategies that will be used in its
marketing are social media advertising, tarpaulins, and its grand opening. Aside from that, other
promotions and ways like engaging in social media, promotional discounts, and loyalty cards will be
implemented and used.
These strategies would be useful to the organization in terms of attracting and retaining the target
market's attention. Because the majority of the population has a social media account, social media sites
will be given a lot of weight. This will make it easier for businesses to reach out to their customers.
Tarpaulins will be placed in areas where customers will see them on a daily basis. When starting a new
business, the grand opening would be a significant component. The grand opening should begin with a
ribbon cutting because it raises awareness that the business’ products and services are available to be used
and purchased. At the same time, discounts, vouchers, and loyalty cards will be given to attract customers
on its first day of operation.
Despite the fact that there are other restaurants and food chains on the market, Nouveau Hut's
concept and idea are still fresh and modern. It can also be viewed as a significant benefit to the company's
strategy.

Financial Risk
Financial risk is one of the crucial challenges for starting a business, regardless of what
sector. Risk has defined as a situation involving exposure to danger. There are several types of
risks or threats that a business may face or overcome. Nouveau Hut, like any other startup
business, faces financial risk in its operation during the course of its five-year lifespan. The
business possibly overcomes the fall short of predicted sales, but the proponents are willing to
face the obstacles. Uncertainty and risk in the financial market, resulting from changes in product
prices, interest rates, and other factors, are the most common sources of financial risk. Also,
another risk is the environmental risk including floods and earthquakes that may affect the raw
materials that the business needs. The business has also the potential of encountering business
risk. Consumer demands and needs may pose an issue for the business if they do not meet the
satisfaction or the standards of the future customer. Poor management of tasks and procedures
can also lead to the failure of business operations. There may also be instances where expected
demand and supply do not meet or surpass expectations.
Exit Strategies
The proponents have predicted that the business will succeed based on the result of this
study. However, its success will not be consistent over time, so as a result, an exit strategy is
essential when the inevitable happens. The owners as becoming the head of the business should
be prepared of having a well-organized plan rather than sell the business or shut down the
production entirely. In entering the business, no matter how successful is, there are also times
when the owners will no longer wish to run it. It is also important that the owner must think of
the most efficient and effective way to overcome or solve unexpected situations. It could be
because of the changing economic condition of the country or the financial crisis, or they are
aware that such difficult times may arrive at any time and that when they do, the proponents
must be ready. Proponents must develop a plan for terminating the operation as efficiently and
effectively as possible. They may decide to sell the business’s equipment to start a new venture
so that their equipment does not go to waste, and they may use the proceeds for other purposes.
Another option is to sell a portion of the company’s equity so that the owner retains control. The
final option is to sell the company outright to a potential buyer. It is the ideal option if they wish
to entirely relinquish ownership of the business. Aside from that, individuals can use the money
to start a new business or for other personal use. These future strategic plans will be essential in
ensuring that they’re ready when such incidents occur.
Socio-economic Aspects
This includes the contribution of the business to the Philippine economy, its potential to
create jobs, as well as its social acceptability; and other benefits to the citizen of the country
Objectives
Nouveau Hut is a legit and duly registered business that pays taxes to the government,
that will contribute to the Philippine economy. It was inspired to work and be more productive
by using all the available materials for the means of the business.
Employment Generation

the unemployment rate in the country and providing a source of income for the employed
employees and their families to meet their necessities. The existence of Nouveau Hut and its
future operational success may aid the creation of businesses that provide products required for
the performance of Nouveau Hut to produce its product and services resulting in more
employment of people.

Fast-casual restaurants like Nouveau Hut offer a strategic advantage over traditional fast-food and casual dining establishments by providing healthier, more imaginative, and locally sourced menu options that cater to current consumer trends favoring casual yet quality eats . This is reflected in their operations through a strong focus on offering a holistic dining experience that includes an attractive ambiance and efficient service, often underpinned by robust social media presence and customer engagement initiatives . Additional competitive edges include leveraging delivery and pick-up services, a necessity that has grown significantly post-pandemic, which allows them to capture a broader customer base without relying solely on in-person dining .
Nouveau Hut anticipates facing challenges such as decreased sales due to potential future increases in COVID-19 infections, which could limit customer entries .

They implement a markup of 10% on their products while ensuring affordability to make their menu more appealing to the local market. This competitive pricing strategy is intended to promote the restaurant as a value-oriented option, potentially increasing customer patronage and market penetration in the area's dining sector .
