Your Task: Recently, you were preparing to negotiate a contract for leasing a restaurant property in North Cyprus.

What type of food are you selling? Which property is of interest to you? What language will you use to negotiate? Discuss how you would persuade the owner of the location you want to lease you the property. Are you in a strong or weak BATNA position?
BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) There are two possibilities for the buyer and seller roles— • a weak BATNA (buyer needs a car now, and seller needs to sell the car now), and • a strong BATNA (buyer has other alternatives, and seller is considering keeping the car).

In paragraph 3, discuss more advantages that you have for your selected the location ONLY. In the conclusion, provide a summary reiterating why you are at an advantage for starting a new restaurant at your selected location ONLY.
My company is a restaurant which serves food from my home country
India. I am planning to open a restaurant in North Cyprus with an
investment of five hundred thousand rupees. There are two
properties available which will require substantially remodeling to
attract customers. One property is located in Girni and other is
located in Lefkosia.
The advantage and disadvantages of these two locations are that
Girni is located at main market and it sees a lot of customers who
come for dining but the rent is also very high for this place on
the other hand Lefkosia is not located on a very prime location but
it has a very spacious restaurant and can be used for people who
can come for long drive. The advantage of this is the rent is
almost 50% as compared to first location.
The more advantage which which I feel is the location of Girni,
because it is very important for restaurants to have a prime
location and one of the most important factors contributing to the
success of a successful operation of restaurant are the customers
which come to the restaurant considering the location. So after
considering the benefits of this location I would select this
location for my restaurant.
