Market Analysis Summary

The Dallas area's meal preparation market is untapped. As a matter of fact, there is no other business of this kind in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Though there are no exact replicas of our company there are some types of companies that we would have to consider to be indirect competitors. These include such companies and service professionals as caterers and those that will come to your home and prepare meals for you to freeze. What's For Dinner?, at this time, has few direct competitors, with exception to area restaurants and your basic home cooking. At the inception of What's For Dinner?, there will be no type of company like ours in the area, thus giving us the overwhelming competitive advantage of first entry.

The What's For Dinner? market is primarily in the Collin County area: Plano, Frisco, Allen and McKinney. We will be focusing on households in these areas that have more than one person. Primarily, those households whose income is over $50,000, with someone under the age of 18 living there. As a secondary target market, we will market to the elderly population in the aforementioned areas. Initially, the greater portion of our customers will be busy, working class people and the growing group of single-parent families, but it will be of great benefit now and in the future to market our services to the highest growing population demographic – senior citizens.

Households with children 10% 73,864 81,250 89,375 98,312 108,144 10.00%

Strategy and Implementation Summary

What's For Dinner? will gradually gain market share in the four focal geographic markets (Plano, Frisco, Allen and McKinney) by leveraging its competitive edges. These edges are superior attention to detail in the local food service market, a revolutionary food-servicing outlook and excellent nutritional meals at competitive price. These advantages have been unavailable in this market for some time. We will market our services with a targeted advertising campaign and networking.

Competitive Edge

What's For Dinner? will begin with a critical competitive edge: we have no direct competitors in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. By being the first-mover and (for at least a while) the only service of our kind, we will have the initial market buzz that is normally reserved for the first company of its kind into a given market. Our positioning is very hard to match, but only if we maintain focus on our strategy, marketing, business development, and fulfillment of quality and customer service will we be able to continually grow and outpace the "copy-cat" businesses that are sure to follow our market lead. We are aware that the tendency to relax due to lack of competition could weaken our competitive edge. What's For Dinner? will be operated as if our direct competitors were conducting the same service business that we are in and we will be looking for additional enhancements to our operating procedures from day one.

In addition to our unique positioning, we offer the following advantages to our customers:

  • High quality meals
  • Relatively low prices
  • Time saving meal preparation
  • Reducing mess in customers' kitchens
  • Reducing stress around meal prep
  • Saving them from that perennial problem of deciding, "What's for Dinner?"

Marketing Strategy

As a food service business, our main goal is to provide high quality food with excellent customer service.  Our challenge as a new company is to quickly establish a reputation for such quality among our potential markets. With this in mind, the initial focus of our marketing strategy will be to get our name and reputation out to the public to create "buzz." Creating brand recognition for our new concept will be the first measurable milestone in our marketing strategy.

This will be one of the most important factors when measuring success within the first couple of months after inception. The basis for our ideology is simple; the more people that hear our name and become familiar with our services, the more people will use it. The marketing campaign will involve a targeted advertising campaign, different specials to entice the customers to try our business and a very intense networking campaign. All of these tactics will be used to help gain a loyal clientele aimed at fostering our happy customer base.

At start-up, we will begin a focused advertising campaign toward target segments in our geographical area. We will update our advertising campaign regularly to fill in gaps based on follow-up research: do people recognize our name? Do they know what we do? What is their impression of our services' costs and quality?Marketing campaigns will work via:

  • Local area newspapers that are viewed by our target market.
  • Homeowner associations', churches' and specific groups' newsletters.
  • Direct mail advertisements/flyers to our target market purchased through a direct mailing company with lists specifically of our target market.
  • Various flyers and pamphlets that will be available at many shopping centers and grocery stores throughout the area.
  • Yellow pages advertisement.
  • Dynamic website.
  • Registered keyword searches that will lead to our website.
  • Various Radio advertisements.
  • Various event sponsorships.

Coupled with the advertising campaign will be a systematic offering of discounted specials to attract more customers. This could be very important to potential customers because the cost of $175 for 12 meals is very appealing to families that have used our service before, but families may be skeptical to buy this much food and invest that much money in something they have never tried. For that reason, our business will offer periodic specials to families to help limit their fears and open their eyes to the wonderful atmosphere at What's For Dinner?

What's For Dinner? will also have a networking campaign that will start with the owner's contacts and friends attending our first months' meal prep parties. This will be the "word of mouth" campaign that will feature:

  • Private parties with discounts for the host/hostess of the party. This will encourage them to invite 11 friends that will be introduced to our business and will be return customers.
  • Special discounts to return customers when referring new customers.

Sales Strategy

In the food service business, as in any customer service intensive business, sales revenue is our lifeblood. The way in which we present ourselves to our customers and deal with the public will determine the success of our business. The food service industry is facilitated by repeat business and referrals. In order to continuously compete against other food providers, we need to enhance our repeat customer service business by making this our main sales focus. We cannot expect to have a satisfied customer by selling them one month's of meals and then never seeing them again. We must make our sales strategy revolve around making the customer's experience with us the best it possibly can, and further, making every effort to get our current customer base to visit us again. It is much more expensive to get new customers than to keep the customers you already have. Our customers cannot stop eating, but they could stop using our services. We will be selling our service to our current customers each time they come, in order to have repeat business and new business through their word of mouth.

These are just a few of the ways we will sell to our customers to gain repeat business and word of mouth advertising:

  • High levels of customer service; friendly, comforting and entertaining
  • Good variety of menus from which to choose
  • The best quality of foods and ingredients
  • Creating a fun and social atmosphere for our customers, so they want to return
  • Reminders at each party to sign up for the next month's party, along with the next month's menu and samples
  • A follow up and reminder program for our current customers that will be done through email and mail.
  • Focus a specific portion of our advertising campaign on getting our repeat customers to come back and visit us
  • Allow our best repeat customers to get special quantity specific discounts.
  • Enlist a comprehensive and highly interactive e-commerce initiative to help to accommodate our customer's payment and scheduling options.

The What's For Dinner? website will serve as a productive and consistent selling tool. Our website will be set up to explain what we offer and the many benefits customers will receive for using our meal prep services. The website will help "close the sale;" customers will be able to register for the meal prep party they would like to attend and accepting payments online. This will be our main source of registrations for parties. The ease of use allowed by the Internet will be key to driving our customer pipeline. Our sales and marketing campaigns will help focus our customer traffic through our website, so that people can see how easy it will be to interact with our company. This element of efficiency will also help enhance our bottom line by allowing for a 24 hour customer service mechanism without having to keep a customer rep staffed all the time.

1 Sales Forecast

Through our research of other businesses like ours in Seattle, WA and Omaha, NE, we found that all of them quickly increased their sales over their first year. All of these researched companies went from their first month of 100 customers on average to over 1,000 customers within their first year of business. One company opened in Seattle against two other competitors and now has over 2,000 customers with three different locations.

We are optimistic that What's For Dinner? will grow and prosper just as these other companies have, but we want to set reasonable forecasts for growth. We have therefore taken a conservative approach in preparing our Sales Forecast Table.

The following table and chart give a run-down on forecasted sales. We have forecasted that sales will increase each month with the exception of the summer months, when vacations and other seasonal activities may reduce purchases. Once we get our first few customers, our sales will increase through customer retention, and gaining new customers through networking. We expect sales to grow incrementally over the first year, reaching profitability by the fifth month of operation.

After the first year of operation, we expect sales to continue increasing, from 10% the first year up to 25% by the third year. As sales increase, we will make modifications to our facility and hire new employees to share in the work. Our proposed location allows room for expansion. Based on our research, and the size of our potential market, we expect to reach close to one million dollars in sales by the end of 2005.

Our direct costs of sales listed here are inventory used up in sales, including the meal ingredients and additional supplies, such as themed-party decorations, containers, napkins, and so on. Fixed operating expenses are listed in the Profit and Loss.

Other Supplies $44,109 $55,136 $68,920
Subtotal Direct Cost of Sales $656,733 $820,917 $1,026,146

Management Summary

The What's For Dinner? management team will initially consist of the founders/owners themselves, Alan and Kim Kirby. We do not anticipate the need to hire anyone else on a full time basis during the first year, because all of the services that a normal small business needs will be outsourced. These services include the e-commerce infrastructure, accounting, marketing, and legal services. We do plan to employ one part-time employee from the beginning to help with cleaning and dishwashing.

Alan and Kim have 15 years of experience in the food service and entertainment industries, as a party planner and personal chef, respectively. Until the second year, Kim will continue to work part-time as a personal chef for several couples in Plano, doing the prep work and menu planning for What's for Dinner? in the mornings. Alan will host the majority of the parties, after having prepared test batches of every menu item with Kim. The owners anticipate possibly hiring local high-school students as sous-chefs in years 2 and 3; Kim's experience with local restaurants has shown that these students can often do quite well, paid only minimally in exchange for professional restaurant and food preparation training. Alan's existing contacts with local social and community groups, and Kim's ongoing relationships with food distributors, specialty grocers, and high-end clients will all help to generate high sales from early in the first year.

Throughout the first two years we will conduct an aggressive cost analysis as to what our capabilities are as owners and with what activities we need assistance.

Personnel Plan

The following table summarizes our personnel expenditures for the first three years, with compensation increasing from $34K the first year to about $60K in the third. We believe this plan is a fair compromise between fairness and expedience, and meets the commitment of our mission statement. The detailed monthly personnel plan for the first year is included in the appendices.

PERSONNEL PLAN
YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3
Alan Kirby $24,000 $30,000 $40,000
Kim Kirby $5,000 $7,500 $10,000
Part-time cleaner $5,000 $7,500 $10,000
TOTAL PEOPLE 3 3 3
Total Payroll $34,000 $45,000 $60,000

Financial Plan

What's For Dinner expects strong sales, based on research into our target market, similar businesses in other parts of the country, lack of direct competition, and the experience, reputations, and know-how of its owners/managers. By steadily repaying our long-term loan and holding down costs, we will generate a net profit midway through the first year and increase net worth dramatically by year 3. Our major fixed expenses are payroll and rent.

Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table as annual assumptions. The monthly assumptions are included in the appendices.

Three of the more important underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a relatively strong economy, without major new recessions. Although an ailing economy would not allow us the growth that we anticipate, we believe that it would not drastically hurt the business because the service is economically feasible. The $175 session fee breaks down to $14.58 per meal - a deal hard to beat at even a fast-food restaurant for a family of four to six.
  • We assume that our market needs will be seasonal, with a decrease in sales during the summer months.

Projected Profit and Loss

What's For Dinner?'s projected profit and loss is shown in the following table, with sales increasing from $10K the first month to close to $1.4M by the third year. We will reach profitability in the middle of our first year.

We are projecting very conservatively regarding cost of sales and gross margin. Our costs of sales are based on grocery store prices, which will decrease once we are to consistently able to buy our food in larger quantities from a food distributor. This will significantly lower our cost of sales, and increase our gross margin more than in this projection. We prefer to project conservatively so that we make sure we have enough cash.

The Sales and Marketing Expenses vary from the food preparation industry norms. Our Sales and Marketing Expenses will be to consistently maintain our advertising and promotions, while our biggest marketing will be word of mouth from our customers. We are budgeting for a high level of service from our website hosting company and payment processor, since the website is a key component of our Sales and Marketing Strategies.

The detailed monthly projections are included in the appendices.

The monthly cash flow is shown in the illustration, with one bar representing the cash flow per month, and the other the monthly cash balance. The annual cash flow figures are included here and the more important detailed monthly numbers are included in the appendices.


The balance sheet in the following table shows managed but sufficient growth of net worth, and a sufficiently healthy financial position. Our negative net worth, due to borrowed capital for start-up, makes a significant increase by the second year, and becomes positive in year three. It is common for start-up businesses to have a negative net worth their first few years.
