Page 30 of 35
 reduction in net profits, highlighting the importance of monitoring regulatory
environments.

product demand. For instance, introducing a new vegan menu could attract a younger
demographic and increase sales by 25%, demonstrating the importance of catering to
evolving consumer trends.

7. Marketing Effectiveness: Evaluate the ROI of marketing initiatives. For instance, a

digital marketing campaign with a budget of ₹50,000 could generate a 30% increase
in website traffic and a 20% increase in online orders, demonstrating the effectiveness
of marketing spend.

8. Technological Advancements: Assess the impact of adopting new technologies on

operational efficiency. For example, investing ₹1,00,000 in a new inventory
management system could reduce inventory holding costs by 15% and minimize
stockouts, improving overall efficiency.

J) RISK ANALYSIS

➢ IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL RISKS

1) Market Competition: Existing restaurants offering similar cuisine may saturate the
market, posing a challenge to attracting and retaining customers. Differentiating
through unique offerings and marketing strategies is essential to stand out.

2) Supply Chain Disruptions: Dependencies on suppliers for key ingredients could

lead to disruptions in the procurement process, impacting production schedules
and customer service. Establishing backup suppliers and maintaining good
relationships with vendors can mitigate this risk.

3) Health and Safety Compliance: Failure to comply with health and safety
regulations may result in fines, legal issues, or reputational damage. Implementing

Page 31 of 35
 strict hygiene protocols, staff training programs, and regular inspections can
ensure compliance.

4) Seasonal Demand Fluctuations: Variations in customer traffic due to seasonal

factors may affect revenue and resource allocation. Developing flexible staffing
plans and offering seasonal promotions can help mitigate the impact of fluctuating
demand.

➢ ASSESSMENT OF RISK IMPACT AND PROBABILITY

➢ RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES

1) Diversification of Suppliers: Establish relationships with multiple suppliers to reduce

dependency and minimize the impact of disruptions in the supply chain.

2) Continuous Training and Monitoring: Provide ongoing training to staff on health and
safety protocols and regularly monitor compliance to mitigate the risk of non-
compliance.

3) Seasonal Menu Offerings: Introduce seasonal menu items or promotions to capitalize

on peak demand periods and offset potential revenue fluctuations.
