Much of the struggles in the industry have derived from a perception of "sameness" among competitors in the industry (Horovitz, 2008). As a result, we believe that the key to success to be unlike any other company in the segment and yet still be clearly identifiable to the market as casual dining. The premium market position will also help us to defend against responses from our competition. A low cost...
We will draw a sample size from our target market and conduct a survey. This will help us gain valuable information about the direction of the menu, price points, decor and other attributes that will help us to bring our concept to life.
