Introduction
The New Moon resto would be a theme based resto. The theme/ concept would be that of a moon
and there would be pure oxygen in the ambience (managed by oxygen cylinders). The whole
resto would be like the surface of the moon and the chairs and tables would be in a shuttle like
box. The whole ambience would give one an impression as if he/she is sitting on the surface of
moon in a space shuttle with pure oxygen in the environment.
Concept based restaurants have come up in the past especially there was a trend in 2004 of
concept based restaurants but these were more on the lines of a roadside ‘Indian Dhaba’. There
are examples like ‘Khaja Chawk’ where the ambience is that of a station and Indian food is
served. They have seating in the shape of an Autorickshaw and the food is served inside the
Auto. Another example is that of ‘Pind Baluchi’ based on the so called Pind i.e. Indian village.
Barbeque Nation was again first of its kind where in people could go and grill their own snacks
(tikkas) on their table. All these examples are the ones which brought out a new/innovative
theme and all these worked well. Infact Pind Baluchi and Barbeque nations have opened multiple
branches. All these examples point towards the fact that people in metros do like to go to such
concept based restaurants and can shell out a premium for the experience.

option like “The New Moon” and based on such initial responses we can work upon the
pricing strategy of the restro which will be discussed in the final business plan.
Details of Project
Location Analysis:
Out resto would be based in Vanarasi nearby ghats. We are deliberately targeting tourist who
comes for visiting ghats and student studying in BHU. As there is a lot of footfall and round the
week we can expect good business. Most likely location is Assi Ghat at Vanarasi.
We are not choosing places like Sigra or Lanka as concept based restaurants at these places have
tend to become less popular with time and there is less population which can be targeted in these
places.
Infrastructure Costs:
Major Infrastructure expenses will be incurred in first year and in remaining 4 years only
Rs. 20000 per month for maintenance and up gradation of infrastructure.
The details of the infrastructure cost is as under:
Supplier Details
Operational Costs:
Monthly Rent is assumed to be Rs. 10 per square feet per month. Hence total rent payable
would be 10 X 3000 = Rs. 30000 per month.
Operating Costs will grow @ 10% for next 4 years.
The operating costs are as under:
Marketing Costs
For the first year marketing costs are assumed to be Rs. 10000 per month due to higher
spend for promotional activities.
For remaining 4 years marketing expenses are assumed to be Rs. 5000 per month.
