Executive Summary
“A well-run restaurant is like a winning baseball team. It makes the most of every crew member's talent and takes advantage of every split-second opportunity to speed up service. “
This is what we have tried to leverage through our business plan “Oceania”. “Oceania” is a restaurant for
fun-seeking as well as sophisticated diners looking for good food in a fascinating atmosphere; where they
are given a chance to experience the wonderful underwater and jungle themed restaurants which they had
missed out so far. Today it is seen that with most of the people are interested to spend their leisure time
going out to different places which gives them new look and experience. After a feasibility study of cross
section of people, in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bangalore and Chennai in the age group
between 20 to 50 years, the most preferred menus have been selected for start – up phase of the
restaurant. The menus offered would be:
On the Water's services are all delivered in their extraordinary atmosphere which includes a
comprehensive art and culture collection from US and India.
The menu contains traditional favorites such as
Other menu items are kebobs, chutneys, flat breads and desserts. Everything is fresh, homemade,
and prepared daily.
And addition to the menu other services including the wine and beverages and sprits
The differentiating factor of “Oceania” would be it’s extensively for young adults, keeping in mind the fact
that their experience is different from that of others because of which they may not feel existed with other
restaurants.
Though “Oceania” had been called a restaurant, it would be more than a just restaurant, it would be a
single stop solution for younger and adult generations where they acquire new experience and also engage
in hobbies for leading a more fulfilling and enriching life. There would be well attractive space birthday
parties celebrations, and other occasions and many more of such events to keep people engaged. The
positioning of the restaurant would be a not a restaurant but an amazing place, where one spends one’s
time constructively, experiencing new things.

The industry when analyzed using Porter’s Five Force model, showed that it is quite attractive, as there is
no player in the market at present which provides a similar offering. “Oceania” faces indirect competition
from players like local restaurant players and pubs
Initially the restaurant would start at one location Bangalore – which would be acting as separate profit
centers and managing their operations independently. The menus offered would remain same throughout
and regional preference would be taken into consideration for the traditional menu. The menus are priced
differently for weekdays, weekend. The revenue generation would be based on certain charges for each
item.
“Oceania” would be breaking even in the third year of operations. An initial startup capital of Rs. 4 cores
would be required for starting the 2 units. The growth plans are to expand based on the movement and
demand of the market.
“Oceania” is a novel idea and the major reason for its success would be its innovative serving model. The
impression and experience that the people would enjoy with “Oceania” would lead it forward in the future
and this would be a major platform for them to enjoy their passion and lead a more happy life.
There is need for this offering in the market and we are passionate about this idea, so “Oceania” is a
means to match the need with our passion.

Background Information
Concept
We have experience it ourselves more need for new restaurants when we spoke to our friends and
relatives about the themed restaurants and their leisure time hobbies. This inspired us to come up with an
arrangement that would make them happy at fascinating atmosphere and keep them engaged in our
absence, thus leading to origin of “Oceania”
The concept of “Oceania” originates from the fact that, in this age of advanced technology and
unorganized restaurants, a majority of our younger’s and adults feels left behind and looking for something
new fascinating atmosphere restaurants. Also, people need something to make them feel new every time to
themselves with and at present there is no such offering in the market. “Oceania” aims to become that the
place for the youngsters where they can enjoy their passion.
“Oceania” is different because of the exclusivity for elderly people and the variety of items offered under a
single roof. “Oceania” would be a restaurant meant especially for younger people where menu contains
traditional favorites, other menu items are kebobs, chutneys, flat breads and desserts. Everything is fresh,
homemade, and prepared daily. In addition to the menu other services including the wine, beverages, and
sprits. Though “Oceania” has been called a restaurant, it would be more than a just restaurant, it would be
a single stop solution for younger and adult generations where they acquire new experience and also
engage in hobbies for leading a more fulfilling and enriching life. There would be well attractive space
birthday parties celebrations, and other occasions and many more of such events to keep people engaged.
The positioning of the restaurant would be a not a restaurant but an amazing place, where one spends
one’s time constructively, experiencing new things.
Drivers
60% of the population of India is between 20 to 50 years. These people spend their leisure time by hanging
around restaurants, pubs and shopping centers. At the same time, they are mostly bored going to the same
places every time. For these people it becomes even more difficult spending their time as they do not like to
see the same places every time.
Few of the major driving factors that lead to the conceptualization of “Oceania” are as follow:
Increasingly demand for restaurants in our day to day life.

Group No: 7
Younger generations are looking for something new to have fun.
No well organized and wonderful themed restaurants in the market
Due to the above mentioned factors it could be concluded that youngsters need to engage themselves in
for fun and joy to lead a happier life and hence “Oceania” is the solution.
Business Proposition
Services Offered
One thing that is always consistent with on restaurant is their impeccable service. All server staff hired has
extensive experience and all go through three weeks of training, ensuring benchmarked customer service.
On the Water's services are all delivered in their extraordinary atmosphere which includes a comprehensive
art and culture collection from US and India. This provides an authentic surrounding that at times seems to
distract everyone as they analyze the wealth of artifacts on display.
The menu contains traditional favorites. These favorites are differentiated through the use of the freshest
organic ingredients. Most people are not aware of how much better the items taste when they are prepared
with the freshest ingredients and made with love. Other menu items are kebobs, chutneys, flat breads and
desserts. Everything is fresh, homemade, and prepared daily.
The menus are of daily (Weekdays), weekends basis.
The medium for serving would be both in US and increase India traditions. It can be assumed that most
adults would not be comfortable with only nontraditional food as the medium of serving and therefore
traditional food would be a more preferred medium. This would primarily the market coverage and also
helps in scalability.

Customer Profile
On the restaurant will be targeting locals and tourists who are active restaurant seekers. There will be a
special focus on young adults with 15K - 60K of income looking for good food and a great time. In addition
to the young adults with money to spend, On the Water will also be targeting adults and tourists. The
general demographics are males and females ages 20-50 with some or all of a college education.
Historically, if there is a dip in the general economy, the restaurant industry is usually effected far less that
the overall economy. To some degree this is because of people's perception that food, regardless whether
it is from the grocery or restaurants is a fundamental necessity of life and spend accordingly.
Pricing Strategy
The price for each of the item mentioned are enlisted below. All the figures shown below are monthly
charges and are in Indian rupees.
Positioning
The restaurants will be positioned as merely a service provider but as a way of fun and joy. The tagline of
“Experience the reality……” would be used to create
reality and new experience to customers. It is like a new world to youngsters or adults.
The unique selling propositions of the offering are as follow:
A underwater restaurant with affordable price menu (Underwater Restaurant)
Experience the jungle atmosphere in the city (Jungle Restaurant)
Feel as a king from the extraordinary services
All food items under single roof

Promotion of the Service
The initial response towards the project is greatly dependent on the marketing strategies adopted.
Branding:
To build a brand image for itself, the restaurant has chosen the brand elements like the logo, the
tagline that goes well with its value proposition.
The advertisements should focus on new world, reality, fun and joy in restaurants, with the target
audience.
Communication strategy:
The communication objective is to initially develop awareness about the USP in the market as this is a new
concept and then concentrate on influencing the customers to experience the reality. Three elements have
been considered as part of the marketing communication mix.
Marketing channels:
Various marketing channels have been considered like newspapers, TV channels and radio. Tie – ups with
five stars hotels and big corporate institutions to get the corporate look.
External customers:
Those customers who experienced the reality would definitely spread the experience about the reality and
services provided at “Oceania”. It is believed that word of mouth would reach create more loyalty and
publicity than any other branding. Word of mouth would be the main form of our communication to the
potential customers.

In the initial stage the plan is to start two restaurants in Bangalore –
The major infrastructure requirement for starting the venture is the space for setting up the restaurant.
Apart from the space requirements, other requirements include furniture, High quality glass, and cooking
furniture as well. The premises would be taken either on rental or lease and all other requirements would
be purchased. Approximately an area of 1lakh square feet is being considered for underwater restaurant
and approximately an area of 70000 to 80000 square feet is being considered for Jungle restaurant.
Internet connections would also be required for which connections will be subscribed to and monthly
charges would be paid. The approximate details of quantities required have been specified in the financials

Organization Structure
The business model is based on the idea of each of these two units would acts as separate profit centers
and manage their operations independently. The menu would remain same but the item charges would
differ for each restaurant.
Each unit shall have a Manager who will manage the day to day operations of the units and would be
reporting on thrice a week basis to us. The unit will have
As the demand grows, the number of employees will increase according to manage the workload. Thus the

Players in the market
“Oceania” faces numerous challenges from number of restaurants, star hotels and other independent
services. The major competitors would be big value chain restaurants like Ohris Restaurants, Khairali
restaurants, Hyderabad House, independent services likes KFC, Mc Donald’s, Pizza Hunt, Dominos, local
players and other star hotels like Taj residency, Leela Palace, Holiday Inn, Oberoi etc. All these
competitors positioned themselves as a place to have food which is called restaurant. And none of these
food chains are in themed based.
But “Oceania” will definitely enjoy the competitive advantage in positioning itself saying

Management Summary
Our management philosophy is based on responsibility and mutual respect. People who work at “Oceania”
want to work there because we have an environment that encourages creativity and achievement. The
team includes a maximum of eight to twelve employees, under a president/manager of one.
Personnel Plan
The personnel plan reflects what we would like to keep as a steady positioning throughout the years. Our
total headcount will increase from 54 to 66 come year3 because that's the beginning of our "good" season.
However, we plan to keep the head count at 60 because of the space and dynamics of the restaurant. It
appears we don't need more than 66 employees to run the business until the fourth and fifth year, if and
when we are successful enough to expand. Detailed monthly projections are included in the appendix.
