Business Plan

Introduction

In the food service industry, kitchen staff play a crucial role in delivering exceptional dining experiences. However, they often do not receive direct feedback or recognition from customers. Our platform aims to bridge this gap by providing a user-friendly solution for customers to easily offer feedback and appreciation directly to kitchen staff members.

Product

Our platform will be a mobile application that allows customers to scan a QR code on their receipts or table tents to access a digital interface where they can provide feedback and recognition for specific kitchen staff members. The platform will have options for giving ratings, leaving comments, and even sending virtual thank you notes to individual chefs and cooks.

Target Market

Our target market includes restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments that have kitchen staff who would benefit from more direct feedback and recognition. We will start by focusing on local eateries and gradually expand to chains and franchises.

Revenue Streams

Subscription Model: We will offer a subscription-based service to food service establishments, charging a monthly fee based on the size of the restaurant and the number of kitchen staff members they want to include in the feedback platform.
In-App Purchases: Customers will have the option to purchase virtual gifts and stickers to include in their appreciation notes, generating additional revenue for the platform.

Marketing Strategy

Direct Sales: We will reach out to restaurant owners and managers to pitch our platform and its benefits for improving kitchen staff morale and performance.
Social Media Marketing: We will utilize social media platforms to promote the platform to both customers and food service establishments, highlighting the positive impact of direct feedback on kitchen staff.
