Executive Summary
Fast foods are very much popular all over the world because of less time consuming and more
taste. It is is also favorite among the people of our country. But because of these junk foods we
are forgetting our own foods pithas, singaras, samichas etc. types of our Bangladeshi fast foods.
So with this initiative we came forward to make a business plan to replace the ongoing fast foods
by our Bangladeshi pithas.
We have named our business 'Ahar'. We named this business supporting our Bangladeshi
perspective and we think this will be a perfect name for this type of product.
Our idea is to serve various type of pithas that will make people move to our Bangladeshi foods
especially to misti pitha and jhal pithas. We think there is a huge field to make a market of this
type of foods in our country. We have determined some factors that will help us generate some
revnues from the beginning of this business launch. And we also have defined our competitors
strategies so that we can compete with them.
We have analyzed our SWOT and defined in which way we will do our business. We have
created a great opportunity for investors who seeks new innovative business ideas and plans.
We have determined our break even point within one year. We have calculated in which year we
will have our revenue in what amount. And we projected our revenue will be double up within
five years if we can work in our way.
Our objective is to provide a better quality food habit and to move people from junk tastes to a
healthy taste. We want to see that people doesn't fear about heart diseases and diabetics type
sufferings.
We are planning to reach our break even point within one year from our launch and to earn a
double revenue within three years.

3.
Every business has its own features on which the chances to be successful depends. For
measuring the potentiality and the risk of a new business we need to make the proper use SWOT
analysis test. By this test we can evaluate the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. We are
starting with the strength of our plan.
3.1 Our Strengths:
We are going to deal with the seasonal Bangladeshi food. Which is in our language known as
'Pitha'. Traditionally we have many seasonal pitha. We have pitha in winter season, we have pitha
in summer and also in spring. The main advantages of our plan can be categorized in two ways.
One is cost and another is health consciousness.
In seasonal pithas normally we use ingredients which are achievable from our environment. Such
as most of the pithas are made of paddy, coconut, flour, sugar, cow milk which are not only
healthy but also very cheap. In comparison to the ingredients used in case of the fast food.
Because in fast food most of the cases we need to use chicken, mutton, beef, butter, cheese etc.
which are very costly and causes harm to our health. Because those ingredients are liable for the
increasing rate of diabetics, high blood pressure and heart diseases. As we know customers are
always price sensitive, so we have a huge chance to gather the big portion of the market within a
short period of time. Because we are offering food of diversified taste with a cheap price. Those
food are also very much healthy.
Our conventional seasonal foods are always very much popular among the people. But now a
days usually they do not take those foods. Because those are not easily found and cannot be
made easily. And also specialized skill is needed for making these foods. That shows that people
are always fond of having those seasonal pithas but they have not the proper source. And they
haven't enough time and skill to make it. As a result we can make those pithas for them and
present them in a favorable place that will be certainly popular among the people.
Why people prefer fast food? Because it is ready made, it is dry and for eating those foods huge
arrangements is not needed. No bowl or spoon is not mandatory. All those facilities we will
provide in Bangladeshi seasonal food Ahar. We will also add some innovative features in our
conventional seasonal pithas those will certainly serve the customers with different tastes those
they were always looking for.
3.2 Our Weaknesses:
In this business we cannot identify lots of weakness. But we have found a few such as those
seasonal foods are available for a specific time in a year. Those pithas which are available in
winter cannot be made in summer. But those ingredients will not be available in that time. We
cannot provide our best effort through the whole year.
Another weakness is that s our ingredients come from natural resources those are not available in
urban areas. We have to get those things from rural or sub-rural areas. For this we need to have
strong chain of suppliers. But for maintaining those suppliers and also because of the distance we
have to spend a lot that will certainly minimize the profit.
Diversity of taste can be weakness in a sense. Because in our seasonal food there is lack of chilly
foods. So in this case we need to be a little bit innovative.
3.3 Our Opportunities:
We have huge opportunities in this business. Because our people are very fond of those
conventional food items, but those are not available ready made. Sometimes they get those
pithas, but the sources are not very healthy. They have not any brand name in this field, which
name can assure them about the standard and the nutrition of the food. So 'Ahar' is going to be
the brand name of our seasonal pitha.
Nowadays people are much more health conscious, so many of them are trying to leave those
fast food with high cholesterol, but they have no substitute product to take. Ahar is going to be
that replacement. And pithas aren't junk. So people will get more attraction to these pithas.
3.4 Our Threats:
We are going to enter into a highly competitive segment of food market. We will have to face a
lot of threats. Our major competitors will be the fast food shops. They already have diversified
product line and also they are capturing the major portion of the market. So huge time, money,
people, and efforts are needed to gain their market share.
Our other threat can come from from bakeries, pastry shops and a bit from restaurants. Bakeries
and pastry shops are producing and serving some food items that made the need of the customer
whom we have targeted. Restaurants are dealing with the customers with limited earning. Middle
class and lower class people usually take food from restaurants. So a big portion of our target
market is engaged there. So all those things are proved to be the threat for that new business.
4.
Competitiveness Analysis
We have analyzed the current market situation by the five factor model of Michael Porter. In this
model there are five forces. By those forces we have identified the competitiveness of the target
market. It is the renowned process all over the world to evaluate the appropriateness to enter into
a business.
4.1 Competitive rivalry within an industry:
Within this market we have some strong existing competitors. Such as- Pizza Hut, KFC,
Domino's pizza, Sizzle etc. But as we are going to start with the conventional local food we don't
have such type of competitor. It is a stable business because it is related with appetite. So it is
appropriate business to enter. Exit barrier is also low, so certainly it is an attractive segment of
market to choose.
unattractive segment. In food business new entrants are always available, but if we can build
our's as a brand name and gain the major portion of the market share we will certainly be able to
avoid the threat of the new entrants.
4.3 Threat of substitute product:
We are going to compete with fast food. We are a food item with a specific taste, in this field we
don't have real substitute products. Sweet industry such as our 'Dairy industry' can be substitute
product. But as those are not our real substitute product, it is certainly an attractive market.
5.
Mission Statement
Our business plan is created through some motives. Here we tried to explain our missions and
objectives.
Product Mission To serve better quality and taste of home through a variety of pithas.
Community Mission Providing a community service through serving dehsi cultures and tastes.
Economic Mission - Operate and grow at a profitable rate through sound economic decisions.
Our objective is to capture the market share and replace a great portion of conventional fast food
items by serving Bangladeshi pithas.
Our goal is a little bit economical. We are forwarding to reach our break even point within one
year and if we can manage to double up our revenue within 3 years we have a plan to extend our
business.
Our visionary view of this business is that we don't want to see any body's panic because of bad
food habit. We want to make people having a good habit in eating.
6.
Here we have come to our business actions plans by which we will fulfill our objectives. We
have prepared some segments those will make our works maintained and simplified. We have
interpreted some department where different group of people will work. But at first we should be
clear about our services.

7.2 Management Structure
Our Management structure will be flat. All of the activities will be observed and monitored by
the executive officers' panel. And thus we are not in a complicated form of business we think this
will be enough for a business to make a first run. But if we plan to go for making our business
corporate, we will have concerns about our management and we will re-organize our
management body.
