C. Brief Description of Project

1. History of business

We humans have the nature of not being contented; we want innovation,

changes and something new to our eyes: especially on food. We are also a victim of
this kind of status quo. And with this, we found a business opportunity that will not
just ease the customer’s preferences and wants but will also generate us profit and a
new line of business. We fused the buffet style dining and burger chains. And we came
up with the idea to let the customer choose what they want, how they want, what
ingredients, how it’s done and, how much their burger is, and that is Make Your Own
Burger. We are giving the customers the freedom and chance to savor the taste of
their own made burgers by letting them to pick what kind of patty they want, what
ingredients or toppings therein, what buns will be used, and even the choice of
having the patty fried or grilled.

2. Nature or kind of industry

In this fast pacing world, there is nothing better than getting a ready meal.
The food industry is the only line of business where there is an assurance that it will
remain in high demand because of its variety. These industries include restaurants,
fast foods, school and hospital cafeterias, catering operations, food carts and food
trucks etc. Restaurants and fast foods mainly contribute to the food service industry.

II. ECONOMIC ASPECTS

1. Market Description

a.) Areas of Dispersion

With the growing demand of food stores inside universities, the GNM Partnership
plans to sell its products at the University of Santo Tomas specifically at the 2nd floor of
the UST-Multi Deck Parking. Its target market is the students ranging from 16 to 21 of age
both male and female.

b.) Channels of distribution

GNM Partnership directly acquires its raw materials from suppliers then passes it
to Harry Patty, which in return sells it to the customers. It’s location gives a better market
dispersion since it is in the core of University of Santo Tomas.
 Supplier Store Customer

c.) General Trade Practices

Based on the survey conducted, the top 2 competitors are McDonald’s and KFC.
Both of them sell high quality burgers at affordable prices. They have great market
penetration due to heavy advertising and regularly introducing new products. They also
provide well-known drinks like Pepsi and Coca Cola to gain more customers.

2. Demand

The demand of the product will be based on the past demand of burgers consumed
by the students of AMV College of Accountancy particularly those that are sold by
McDonald’s and KFC. McDonald’s and KFC are some of the successful fast food chains inside
UST campus because of their quality products, just price and convenience. Certain foods,
such as burgers, fries and ice cream, have experienced significant growth in consumption for
the past years.

Opening a mini-restaurant is a highly competitive one. To be successful, it must be

able to project the right image as well as meet the needs of customers. Marketing strategies
must be formulated to attract customers. GNM Partnership is created to keep up with rapidly
changing consumer preferences, demographics, and spending patterns. Since food is one of
the necessities and Filipino students are known for being selective when it comes to food,
Harry Patty provides you a chance to customize your own burger. Therefore, the major target
consumers of the product will be the students of AMV College of Accountancy.
