BUSINESS RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations:
•The food and menu are very successful. The interior décor is very dated in need of facelift.
•Competitive advantage of history in neighborhood is diminished when entering the store.
•Specific interior improvements are recommended:
• Refurbish existing chairs for interior dining room
• Increase Lighting with suspended Retro style Chandeliers, in color red to complement the interior, remove hanging plants.
• Remove vertical blinds and update to solar shades.
• Cover existing wood laminate wainscoting and counter fronts with cherry wood covering
• Add accent paint colors to dining bar area, reinforce sports theme started.
• Continue improvements into private dining space
•Expand on logo to create new style identity and branding to use with menu, signage and advertising, use bakery man shown on sign
•Update placemats with new logo and simplified menu
•Keep celebrity presence, competition is strong in neighborhood, it is a very competitive advantage
•Change exterior paint color, create new image with color scheme on outside, create exterior image that reflects interior image, i.e. Old Fashion Bakery Restaurant
