2nd Quarter Week 7 OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT (50 POINTS):

CASE STUDY: THE CASE OF RISTORANTE FILIPINO: More

After finishing a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management at St. Paul's College, Ms. Remedios
Espiritu immediately went to assist her mother in operating "Ristorante Filipino”, a big restaurant
in San Fernando, Pampanga. The firm has a total personnel complement of 30 which include her
mother as proprietor and manager, waiters, cooks, a cashier, a security guard, utility boy,
technician, and a supervisor. A five-piece band plays middle-of-the-road music every evening. By
all indications, the business appears to be succeeding!

As a consequence of favorable results, Remedios was requested by her mother to prepare a plan
for expanding the business. The first move will be to open a branch within San Fernando. The ten-
year target will be to establish branches in Tarlac, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, and Zambales.

Remedios has a sister who is an accountant, another is an industrial engineer, a brother is a chemist,
and another is the training director of a company. All of them, except Remedios, are employed
outside of the family business, with an average job experience of five years. If given the
opportunity, all of them indicated that they prefer working with their mother.

All the parts of the expansion plan appear to be manageable tasks for Remedios, except that part
that identifies the source of funding for the expansion. Even if the restaurant is owned by the
family, their mother does not want to rely on bank loans as a source of capital.

Remedios knows that the family's assets are not sufficient to finance even a branch. However, her
mother was insistent on opening new branches within two years. "Timing", according to her
mother, "is very important in business. The next two years are very crucial to our continued
success." To finance the proposed expansion, Remedios is considering a change in ownership form
