Introduction
This business idea involves effectively implementing automation in the food industry, especially in restaurants and grocery stores. In particular, all of this is primarily important to improve the efficient flow of operations performed by people, including avoiding systematic errors that people make. At the same time, this technology enhances work efficiency and increases the space for developing new opportunities. If we believe in restaurants, this service will allow us to adapt dishes to a person’s needs: diet, allergies, or preferences. Speaking about the store, then it is worth understanding that the personification of the client will take place with those purchases that are made.
Research and analysis
For many people, the problem is that very often; they cannot find what they need. In this context, automation is required for the first person to plan a trip to a restaurant where everything will be ready and waiting for the person. In particular, most people need to automate the process of ordering and receiving food. In particular, considering the issue of stores, automated delivery is essential for people (Al-Jaroodi, Mohamed, & Jawhar, 2018). For example, without communication, they have personal space and do not come into contact with people and sellers.
Strengths: a new form of system accompaniment, IT integration, loosely coupled systems, service technology for devices, security, policies, and quality of services
Weaknesses: most services are used as objects, web services, and their performance issues, decomposing applications into services, increasing complexity but also functional simplicity,
Opportunities: Development of industry by industry, automation technology providers and research and development programs, development of new devices to ensure simplicity
Threats: distributed thinking, competition with other approaches, slow adoption of technology providers
Market Plan
The specific price is challenging since people will not pay much for the services; in particular, they will consider this in the taxes on purchases. It is also essential that the product be an application in which you can choose an option as to whether it is a restaurant or a store. In particular, such an application will automatically save all data by personalizing everything. In this vein, developing such an application will cost approximately $3,000.
The promotion of this application will mainly be done through social media, as that can attract many young people in this way. In particular, social networks can also provide ideas to punish the product and show that the application is unique for many reasons. First, it will be through advertising to famous people or the public, which will help gather like-minded people regarding such an idea. At the same time, a person can also analyze competitors and already develop a strategy for defining their particularity.
Operational plan
This idea will be valid when individual stores or restaurants agree to such an experiment. Therefore, two parties must handle all supplies and suppliers; in particular, it will be possible to continue the already established system. In addition, the inventory also remains constant. Since reworking shops or restaurants will not take place so radically, all materials remain unchanged. If it is possible to agree on this with the owners, they will not even need such things. In particular, it is essential to find companies and franchises that would decide to make new changes to their stores or restaurants. If such an agreement takes place, you can already start making changes.
The work schedule will be straightforward because, first of all, they will hire a person to develop the application, with whom they will allocate separate days to follow up on the work. In the same context, when the application has already been created, it will be worthwhile to find support to ensure that customers use it comfortably. Thus, our primary function will be to monitor the correct transportation of information and its integrity. In addition, it is worth considering that at the beginning of the implementation of this project, the schedule can be hectic since the beginning requires precise control, so working for several hours every day will be necessary. After the origins of the entire project are agreed upon, hiring people and making your work a little easier will be possible.
Conclusion
That can obtain funding from various funds and grants, or everything can be agreed with the company with which there will be cooperation. First, costs are expected in some transformations of shops and restaurants. The change of one such room will cost about $5,000 of furniture, plus up to $1,000 will need to be paid for transportation and installation by all artisans. The following cost will be the same for the manufacture of the add-on – $3000-$4000, depending on which interface will offer interface key fees to pay for the employees’ work. People who monitor the creation of applications will be 2 $2000 per month, and those who will answer all customer inquiries about $1500 per month. About $10,000 per month will be spent on promotion on social networks. Advertising in the city will cost about $5,000 per month. About $25,000 will be provided for additional and emergency expenses.
