LETTER 21: LETTER OF INTRODUCTION:
Dear Mr. Greenstreet:
Ann Morgan, a young engineer who took my process design seminar given for AIChE last summer, has asked me whether I can put the two of you together, so that you might consider granting her an interview for a position in your process control department.
You know that I am a rather tough instructor, so it means something when I tell you that Ms. Morgan has an exceedingly strong grasp of process design and control especially considering she is just two years out of college. By the way, she showed me her transcript, and was a solid B+ student at Brightwater Tech, which, as you know, has one of the best programs on the East Coast.
My department is overstaffed and, since the acquisition, half of our work is being moved to the California location. If this was not the case, and we were looking to add personnel, I would make Ms. Morgan an offer tomorrow.
Whether she would be an ideal fit with your group I cannot say, although I know that technically she can handle a Process Engineer position with extreme competence. As for whether shed be a good addition to your team (which I suspect she would), why dont you give her an interview and find out for yourself?

COMPILATION 35: HALLAMRKS OF A GOOD BUSINESS REPORT:

In writing reports, you should refer to a good manual of English grammar and writing style. You should use the following criteria to guide your writing of all assignments. Clarity Clarity is the most important criterion of good writing. The reader should be able to understand quickly and effortlessly a written report. People will not read a report if they have to decipher its meaning. Some methods for increasing clarity include: 1. English is a precise language. Try to find the right word, not one that the reader could interpret to have a different meaning than the idea you are trying to convey. Strive to write sentences that readers can interpret in only one way. 2. In general, you should write in active voice. In a sentence written in passive voice, the subject is acted upon rather than acting. This is lifeless. For example the sentence, "The procedures are listed in a manual, " is passive (and dull). The sentence doesn't tell us who is listing these procedures. Rewriting this sentence to, "The assistant controller documents all procedures in a manual," identifies who is acting and thus, provides greater information to the reader. a. A good rule of thumb is to place the actor and action in the beginning of the sentence (often in the first five words). b. You should use passive voice sentences deliberately on the very few occasions when you want to emphasize what is acted upon rather than who is acting. For example, Tom Wicker once opened an article on the assassination of President Kennedy with the passive voice sentence, "President Kennedy was shot and killed by an assassin today" because he wanted to emphasize President Kennedy (the sentence's object) not the assassin (the sentence's subject). c. You can use word processing software to help you find and rephrase passive voice sentences. The Checking Grammar, Spelling and Readability section below explains how to do this in Microsoft Word. 3. Each paragraph should be necessary to support the idea of the report. Topic sentences should capture one aspect of the report's idea for the paragraph. Each sentence in the paragraph must logically support the topic sentence. Paragraphs should be complete: you should fully develop the paragraph's topic. Arrange the sequence of sentences is some kind of order: time order (as in a narrative of what happened), space order (as in a description of a physical place), or logical order. Examples of logical order are cause to
53 | P a g e
effect, effect to cause, general to specific, and specific to general. 4. The report's main text should refer to any table, graph, exhibit, and illustration that you include. Readers, however, should be able to understand these visual aids without reference to the written report. Simplicity and Brevity Avoid long or obscure words when simpler, more common words suffice. In addition, short, simple sentences are usually easier to understand than long, complex sentences. Word processing software can help you determine whether your sentences are, on average, long or short. The Checking Grammar, Spelling and Readability section below explains how to generate readability statistics in Microsoft Word for Windows. Readers are generally impatient. They appreciate brevity in writing. Eliminate every unnecessary word and idea from your reports. Logic The report must have a logical structure. Each sentence, paragraph, and section must have a role in the deductive or inductive logic that supports the report's topic or theme. Illogical statements, phrasings, and structures confuse readers. Good reports are logically organized. They typically include an introduction that states the report's objectives, a statement and discussion of the report's topic or central theme, a discussion and analysis of alternatives (e.g., ideas, causes, solutions), and a statement and discussion of recommendations and conclusions. In many instances, poor writing is the result of presenting ones unsupported opinions instead of arguments supported by logical and numerical reasoning. Further, poor writing is the result of supplying a large number of data from which the writer expects the reader to infer a thesis rather than providing strong arguments organized around a central theme. Use a good system of topic headings throughout the report. Topic headings breakup the report with white space and, more importantly, are a "road map" for readers that allow them to understand the report's overall structure and what is coming next in the report. Topic heads also allow the reader to move around the report with greater ease, particularly when they wish to return to a report section. Although any number of topic heading systems are acceptable, one that you may use is:

COMPILATION 36: FEASIBILITY REPORT/STUDY:

Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft Toll System Feasibility Study Mississippi River Bridge Memphis Region Scope of Work
This document describes the Scope of Work to be provided in evaluating the feasibility of tolling a proposed bridge location within the State of Tennessee. The bridge to be evaluated is the proposed Mississippi River Bridge Memphis Region as described in the June 2006 Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility and Location Study. The consultant will conduct an evaluation at a corridor planning level study to determine if the project travel demand is suitable for tolling at the proposed location. 1.0 Evaluation of a potential toll facility The objective of this task is to determine the suitability of a toll facility at a specific location within the State of Tennessee. The Mississippi River Bridge has been nominated by local representatives and selected by Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for study as a potential pilot toll project as a result of the recent Tennessee Tollway Act, dated June 11, 2007. The Consultant will conduct a planning level feasibility study for the Mississippi River Bridge study location as outlined below. The Consultant will produce a financial feasibility assessment comparing expected capital needs, operational and on-going maintenance cost with the expected revenue stream that could potentially be generated from tolling the users of the proposed facility. Users for the Mississippi River Bridge are assumed to include both highway and rail. The following tasks are to be completed. 1.1 Project Definition Information regarding the general location of the proposed toll and rail facilities will be provided to the consultant. Information regarding the general alignments, number of alignments to be evaluated and termini will be provided by TDOT. This will also include current and projected traffic flows (non-tolled) in the area based upon the current travel demand model for the Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization, West Memphis
55 | P a g e
MPO, Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The consultant should consider options for locating the toll and rail elements in the same location and in separate locations and be prepared to outline the pros and cons of various scenarios. 1.2 Planning Level Opinion of Probable Construction Costs The probable construction costs for the study corridors will be provided to the consultant by TDOT as a starting point in developing the estimated capital expenditures. The consultant will be responsible for providing escalated capital costs for the 1Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft implementation of tolling option. This will include but not be limited to the cost to add tolling plazas and associated equipment to operate a toll facility. 1.3 Level 1 Traffic and Revenue Study A Level 1 Traffic and Revenue study will be conducted for the project to estimate the potential toll and rail revenue that could be generated by the project. This sketch level analysis will not be conducted to a level of detail necessary for an investment grade study nor to support actual project financing but may be used as the basis for making a preliminary policy level decision as to whether or not to proceed with additional analysis for the project. The Level 1 Traffic and Revenue Study will include existing traffic conditions that will include a speed and delay study, historical Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) trends, hourly traffic variation and vehicle classification. The consultant will conduct a review of the historical growth trends and review forecasted growth plus socioeconomic trends and conclusions for the study corridors. The consultant will use the existing 2007 certified Travel Demand Model (TDM) for the Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization as the starting point for the Level 1 Traffic and Revenue study. The consultant will review additional travel demand data available from the West Memphis MPO, Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The consultant will provide traffic and revenue projections, document basic assumptions, describe the Existing plus Committed (E + C) network used in the TDM for the planning year horizon, develop toll rates and configurations, estimate weekday and annual traffic volumes for opening and future year, transactions and revenue projections and include a discussion of the estimated revenues net of operations and maintenance expenditures for each study corridor. 1.4 Investment Grade Feasibility Study
56 | P a g e
If a decision is made to utilize tolling on this project, a more detailed study (investment grade study) may be completed as an additional service of this contract subject to separate fees
1.5 Corridor Growth Assessment Consistent with the planning level of this study, a general corridor growth and economic assessment will be completed. This will be based on readily available information such as socio-economic forecasts used in the MPOs Long Range Transportation Plan, the latest available information from the Census Bureau, and similar available sources (such as Woods & Poole). 1.6 Travel Demand Model Based on the provided travel demand model from the MPOs and TDOT, an evaluation of traffic within the defined corridors will be completed to consider current and future traffic levels for improvement scenarios including general growth and economic condition assessment. The Consultant will utilize a toll diversion model to determine estimates of market share of users on toll and non-toll facilities based on factors such as values of 2Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft time, operating and toll costs, trip purpose and congestion levels. This toll diversion model will utilize the travel demand model provided by the MPO or TDOT. 1.7 Toll Sensitivity Analysis This analysis will be undertaken at opening-year levels to determine optimum toll rates. A series of alternative traffic assignments will be made at progressively higher toll rates to determine levels of traffic diversion and revenue optimization. Toll sensitive curves will be prepared to determine the toll rates for use in developing traffic and revenue estimates. This analysis will also consider current toll rates being charged on similar facilities in the states that border Tennessee and nationwide. Future year traffic assignments will be made at selected toll levels only. Also, no-build and toll free traffic assignments will be made in each of the analysis years. 1.8 Operations and Maintenance Expense The Consultant will estimate toll collection and operational expenses based on a cash and electronic toll collection system. The estimates will be based on industry norms and not on a specific toll collections system. 1.9 Net Toll Revenue Estimates
57 | P a g e
As part of the planning level feasibility assessment, annual gross toll revenue estimates will be developed for a forty-year period starting from the assumed opening year for the project. Net toll revenues will be determined by deducting estimated maintenance and operating costs from the projected gross toll revenues.
2.0 Conceptual Level Financial Feasibility Analysis A conceptual level financial feasibility analysis will be conducted to determine the bonding capacity of the proposed project. This analysis will be based on prevailing financial market conditions and typical financial structures being utilized on similar toll based financings by public entities utilizing tax-exempt municipal debt. This analysis will also help identify potential shortfalls in funding supported solely by toll revenues for TDOT. The analysis will include a discussion of how the industrys current privatization trends (Public / Private Partnerships) could impact the ability to finance the proposed project. The consultant will work with the State of Tennessees financial advisor t o develop assumptions concerning tax exempt municipal debt and Public/Private Partnerships industry trends. 3Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft 2.0 Project to be Evaluated The following bridge project is to be evaluated as a part of this study. Tasks outlined in Section 1.0 of this Scope of Work are to be performed for the respective corridor study area. Mississippi River Bridge Shelby County. In June 2006, the Tennessee Department of Transportation completed the Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility and Location Study (http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/publications.htm). This study determined the feasibility of providing a new Mississippi River Bridge Crossing in the Memphis metropolitan area. The study identified and evaluated possible transportation solutions to help TDOT reach a decision on a preferred corridor alternative to improve cross-river mobility over the Mississippi River. The primary purpose of the proposed Mississippi River Crossing project would be to improve cross-river mobility for people and freight in and around the Memphis area and thereby stimulate economic development. An array of initial corridor alternatives was developed and then a screening process was conducted to arrive at a conclusion regarding feasible alternatives both for highway improvements and providing a new rail crossing within the Memphis area. The study concluded with a recommendation to proceed to the next phase of project development for four highway corridors. They are Bridge A, B, C and D corridor alternatives. For the purpose of the study, Bridge B is to be analyzed using corridor segment 8A. Bridges corridor segments 1 and 2 are to be analyzed for both Bridges C and D.
58 | P a g e
This study will evaluate the feasibility of tolling for each of the bridge corridor alternatives recommended for further study in the Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility and Location Study dated June 2006. (Study is located at: http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/publications.htm) The analysis will include providing rail service as a part of the tolling analysis based upon the recommendations from the feasibility and location study for Bridges B, C and D. The consultant may be asked to consider the benefits that result from an additional study corridor as an alternative to or in addition to the corridors recommended in the Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility and Location Study. Specifically, the Great River Economic Development Foundation in Blytheville, Arkansas has received funding sources to conduct the Osceola, Arkansas Millington, Tennessee Toll Turnpike Feasibility Study which began in June 2007. This feasibility study will consider a new Mississippi River crossing to connect Osceola, Arkansas with Millington, Tennessee. The assessment of benefits and the required coordination with this study will be considered as additional services. The instrument to be used to authorize additional services will be a Work Order based upon a negotiated scope of work and fee proposal specific to the degree of services to be provided. 4Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft Deliverables: A Level 1 Traffic and Revenue Study for the project (10 copies draft and 40 copies final) 3.0 Reports and Presentations It is anticipated that the consultant will participate in meetings with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department, Mississippi Department of Transportation, West Memphis MPO and the Memphis MPO during the course of this study. Meetings with these agencies will occur at the conclusion of the development of the traffic projections and when draft conclusions have been identified. The TDOT Project Manager will make a determination when the meetings are to occur. In addition, the consultant will be responsible for the development of summary materials suitable for use with agency executives, technical committees and elected officials. Materials may take the form of PowerPoint presentations with fact sheets, brochuresand/or letters. 4.0 Project Management This task relates to managing and guiding the progress of work. Activities include scheduling, progress reporting, sub consultant administration, cost tracking and
59 | P a g e
reporting, quality control and cost estimating. The consultant will prepare and maintain a project work plan that identifies key staff members and their responsibilities, prepare and update as needed a project organization and staffing plan; prepare a final work breakdown structure; prepare and submit monthly progress reports covering work performed and cost. The TDOT Project Manager must be notified of and approve of any changes to the consultant teams Project Manager, Deputy Project Manager, or Task Leaders during the course of the contract. The consultant will prepare, maintain and publish a project schedule in Gantt or similar format illustrating linked tasks, critical path items, milestones and dates for all task assignments; The consultant will establish an internal quality control process that will produce work of acceptable quality for all task assignments. QC will include review and monitoring of work performed on each task and provide a list identifying deliverables that will be subject to review prior to submittal to TDOT. QC reviewers are to be external to the study team with senior level expertise. Monthly meetings are to be scheduled and conducted with TDOT management staff. The purpose of the meeting is to demonstrate study progress, identify study issues and develop an action plan to resolve issues. Meeting minutes will be prepared by the consultant and circulated for approval. Each meeting will be conducted by the PM with a pre-approved agenda for the meeting. Conference calls may be used in lieu of monthly meetings only if approved by the TDOTs Project Manager. The TDOT Project Manager may cancel a monthly meeting or conference call as warranted. Weekly or semi-monthly 5Prepared by TSE February 27, 2008 Mississippi River Bridge Draft 6 communications will also occur with the TDOT management staff throughout the study schedule. Deliverables: Work Plan, Project Schedule and Quality Control Plan. 6.0 Public Hearing(s) The Department in accordance with the Tennessee Toll Act, June 11, 2007 will conduct one (1) or more public hearings for the specific purpose of receiving public comments concerning tolling as an alternative means of funding or financing bridges or highways within the state.

COMPILATION 37: BUSINESS PROPOSAL:

Restaurant Sample Business Plan Outline
Table of Contents Cover Letter Executive Summary Company Description Industry Analysis Products & Related Services The Target Market The Competition Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy Operations Management & Organization Long-Term Development & Exit Plan Financial Data & Projections Appendices
Company Description Kundo, Inc., a Massachusetts based company, will operate Abonda, a single unit, medium-size restaurant serving healthy, contemporary style food. The restaurant will be located at 645 Deacon Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
61 | P a g e
Mission Statement
The company's goal is that of a multi-faceted success. Our first responsibility is to the financial well-being of the restaurant. We will meet this goal while trying to consider; 1) the effect of our products on the health and well being of our customers (and our staff), 2) the impact that our business practices and choices will have on the environment, and 3) the high quality of attitude, fairness, understanding, and generosity between management, staff, customers, and vendors. Awareness of all these factors and the responsible actions that result will give our efforts a sense of purpose and meaning beyond our basic financial goals. Development & Status
The company was incorporated in September of 1995 and elected sub-chapter S. The founders are Jack Morton and Wilma Mason. Jack is the President and Wilma the Vice President. There is a total of 10,000 shares of common stock issued. Wilma and Jack each own 3,000 and the remainder are retained by the company for future distribution. In addition they have loaned the company $25,000 of their own money for research and start-up costs. A suitable site for the first restaurant was found last month and lease negotiations are in the final stages. The location will be on Deacon Street, just outside Harvard Square and close to a dense population of the target market. When the lease is signed there will be three months of free rent for construction and in that time the balance of the start-up funds must be raised. With that phase completed, Abonda Restaurant can then open and the operations phase of the project can begin. Future Plans
If the business is meeting its projections by month nine, we will start scouting for a second location and develop plans for the next unit. Our five year goal is to have 3 restaurants in the greater Boston area with a combined annual profit of between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Industry Analysis Although the restaurant industry is very competitive, the lifestyle changes created by modern living continue to fuel its steady growth. More and more people have less time, resources, and ability to cook for themselves. Trends are very important and Abonda is well positioned for the current interest in lighter, healthier foods at moderate to low prices.
62 | P a g e
The Restaurant Industry Today
The food service business is the third largest industry in the country. It accounts for over $240 billion annually in sales. The independent restaurant accounts for 15% of that total. The average American spends 15% of his/her income on meals away from home. This number has been increasing for the past seven years. In the past five years the restaurant industry has out-performed the national GNP by 40%. The reasons given by the Folkney Report (November 1994) are 1) lifestyle changes, 2) economic climate, and 3) increase of product variety. There are 600 new restaurants opening every month and over 200 more needed to keep pace with increasing demand. Future Trends & Strategic Opportunities
The predicated growth trend is very positive both in short and long-term projections. Folkney states again that as modern living creates more demands, people will be compelled to eat more meals away from home. The DMR Industrial Report (April 1995) estimates this as high as 30% over the next five years. In 1988 The National Restaurant Association released the Foodservice Industry 2000 report that forcasted how the industry might look in the year 2000. Some highlights from the panel's findings:

"Consumers will spend a greater proportion of their food dollar away from home. Independent operators and entrepreneurs will be the main source of new restaurant concepts. Nutritional concerns will be critical at all types of foodservice operations, and food flavors will be important. Environmental concerns will receive increased attention."
Products & Related Services Abonda Restaurant will be offering a menu of food and beverages with a distinctive image. There will be three ways to purchase these products; table service at the restaurant, take-out from the restaurant, and delivery to home or office.
63 | P a g e
The Menu
The Abonda menu (see appendices) is moderate sized, and moderate-low priced offering a collection of ethnic and American items with a common theme -- healthy (lowfat, low cholesterol, natural ingredients), flavorful, and familiar. Our goal is to create the image of light satisfying and still nutritious food. There has been an increased awareness of nutritional and health concerns in recent years and a growing market of people who now eat this style of cooking regularly.
Production
Food production and assembly will take place in the kitchen of the restaurant. Fresh vegetables, meat and dairy products will be used to crate most of the dishes from scratch. The chef will exercise strict standards of sanitation, quality production, and presentation or packaging over the kitchen and service staff. Service
There will be three ways a customer can purchase food. They may sit down at one of the 54 seats in the dining room and get full service from a waitperson. A separate takeout counter will service those who wish to pick up their food. Most take-out food will be prepared to order with orders coming from either the telephone or fax. Delivery (an indirect form of take-out) will be available at certain times and to a limited area. Future Opportunities
There is a market segment that prefers to eat this type of cooking at home although they do not have the time to cook. There are already caterers and even mail order companies that provide individuals and families with up to a month's supply of preprepared meals. This opportunity will be researched and developed on a trial basis. If successful, it could become a major new source of income without creating the need for additional staff or production space.
64 | P a g e
The Target Market The market for Abonda's products covers a large area of diverse and densely populated groups. Although it will be located in a downtown urban setting, it is an area where people travel to eat out and one that is also frequented by tourists. It is also an area known for and catering to the demographic group we are targeting. Market Location & Customers
The Harvard Square area is one of the most desirable retail locations in New England. The Mass. Chamber of Commerce rates it as the third best retail market in the state. There are more than 400 businesses in a 1/4 square mile area with average sales of $330 per square foot.
The customer base will come from 3 major segments;
Local population -- the city of Cambridge with a year-round population of 145,000 is centrally located in the Boston area and is within 15 minutes drive of 8 major suburbs. Colleges and Universities -- Harvard alone has 6 different schools within walking distance of Deacon Street and a seasonal population of 22,000. In addition 5 more colleges near the square have large student bodies. Tourism -- between hotels, motels, bed & breakfast rooms and inns, there are over 8,500 rooms available. Last year they were at 92% occupancy. Local businesses -- The Cambridge Chamber of Commerce lists over 900 businesses with an average of 12 employees in the Harvard square area.
The food concept and product image of Abonda will attract 3 different customer profiles;

The student -- more and more young people have developed healthy eating habits. Some also go through a "health food phase" while in college. The health conscious person of any age or sex -- this includes anyone on a restricted or prescribed diet or those who have committed to a healthy diet. Curious and open-minded -- "if you try it, you will like it." Through marketing, publicity, and word-of-mouth, people will seek out a new experience and learn that nutritious food can be tasty, fun, convenient, and inexpensive.
Market Trends & The Future
The population and demographics of Harvard square have remained steady for the last
65 | P a g e
14 years. Tourism has increased 24% over the last 3 years and is predicted to keep growing. Local businesses are increasing at a rate of 18% yearly. The idea of a health consciousness through nutritional awareness and dietary change has been slowly building for the last 7 years. The extensive government studies and new Food Guide Pyramid have given everyone a new definition of a balanced, healthy diet. This is not a fad but a true dietary trend backed by the scientific and medical community, the media, the government, and endorsed by the big food manufacturers. As the Foodservice 2000 report stated, this trend will be even more important by the turn of the century. As people want to stay home more and cook less our strategy of delivering prepared meals on a weekly or monthly arrangement may be a widespread accepted new way of eating.
The Competition There are over two dozen restaurants in the Harvard Square area that sell food at similar prices. Although this presents an obvious challenge in terms of market share, it also indicates the presence of a large, strong potential. The newest competitors have made their successful entry based on an innovative concept or novelty. Abonda will offer an innovative product in a familiar style at a competitive price. Our aggressive plans of take-out and delivery will also give us an advantage to create a good market share before the competition can adjust or similar concepts appear. Competitor's Profile
Competing with Abonda for the target market are these categories of food providers:

Independent table service restaurants of similar menu and price structure. Chain " " " " " Commercial foodservice companies serving students directly.
Independent operators include Grendel's Den, Iako, Bombay Club, Iruna, and The Border Cafe. Most are ethnic based and will carry at least two similar menu items. Grendel's and Iruna are long-standing businesses while the others are fairly new. They all are doing very well. The major chain restaurants are House of Blues, Chili's and Bertucci's. All are relatively new but well established and profitable. They have big resources of marketing and/or a
66 | P a g e
specialty product or attraction (House of Blues is also a live music club). Ogden Foods and Cysco both service 24,000 Harvard students but their product is not appealing enough to prevent students from eating out 5 to 7 meals a week. In addition there are two local catering companies that deliver prepared meals daily to offices. Competitive Strategy
There are three major ways in which we will create an advantage over our competitors;

product identity, quality, and novelty high employee motivation and good sales attitude innovative and aggressive service options.
Abonda will be the only restaurant among all the competition which focuses the entire menu on healthy, low-fat cooking. Each of the competitors offers at least one "healthy" selection on their menu. Grendel's Den even has an entire section called "On the Lighter Side" but in all cases they are always seen as alternatives to the main style being offered. The target market will perceive Abonda as the destination location for healthy, low-fat cooking. Once they have tried the restaurant, their experience will be reinforced by friendly, efficient, knowledgeable service. Return and repeat business will be facilitated by accessible take-out and delivery options. At the time of this writing all of the competitors offered take-out but only two (Bertucci''s & Chili's). Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy Market Penetration
Entry into the market should not be a problem. The store has high visibility with heavy foot traffic all day long. The local residents and students always support new restaurants and the tourists do not have fixed preferences. In addition, $10,000 has been budgeted for a pre-opening advertising and public relations campaign. Marketing Strategy
Focusing on the unique aspect of the product theme (healthy, tasty foods) a mix of marketing vehicles will be created to convey our presence, our image, and our message.

Print media -- local newspapers, magazines and student publications Broadcast media -- local programming and special interest shows
67 | P a g e
Hotel guides, concierge relations, Chamber of Commerce brochures Direct mail -- subscriber lists, offices for delivery Misc. -- yellow pages, charity events
A public relations firm has been retained to create special events and solicit print and broadcast coverage, especially at the start-up. The marketing effort will be split into 3 phases; 1) Opening -- An advanced notice (press packet) sent out by the PR firm to all media and printed announcement ads in key places. Budget - $10,000 2) Ongoing -- A flexible campaign (using the above media), assessed regularly for effectiveness. Budget - $10,000 3) Point of sale -- A well-trained staff can increase the average check as well as enhancing the customer's overall experience. Word-of-mouth referral is very important in building a customer base. Future plans and Strategic Opportunities
Catering to offices (even outside of our local area) may become a large part of gross sales. At that point a sales agent would be hired to directly market our products for daily delivery or catered functions. Operations Facilities & Offices
The restaurant at 645 Deacon Street is a 2400 Square foot space. It was formerly a restaurant and needs on minor structural modifications. The licenses and codes' issues are all in order. New equipment and dining room furnishings will be purchased and installed by the general contractor. Offices of the corporation are presently at Jack Morton's home but will be moved to the restaurant after opening. Hours of Operation
The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Service will begin at 11:00 AM and end at 11:00 PM. The restaurant will be closed Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July.
68 | P a g e
Employee Training & Education
Employees will be trained not only in their specific operational duties but in the philosophy and applications of our concept. They will receive extensive information from the chef and be kept informed of the latest information on healthy eating. Systems & Controls
A big emphasis is being placed on extensive research into the quality and integrity of our products. They will constantly be tested for our own high standards of freshness and purity. Food costs and inventory control will be handled by our computer system and checked daily by management. Food Production
Most food will be prepared on the premises. The kitchen will be designed for high standards of sanitary efficiency and cleaned daily. Food will be made mostly to order and stored in large coolers in the basement. Delivery & Catering
Food for delivery may be similar to take-out (prepared to order) or it may be prepared earlier and stocked. Catering will be treated as deliveries. Management & Organization Key Employees & Principals
Jack Morton, President. Jack Morton is also the owner and manager of Grains & Beans, a local natural food wholesaler and retail store. Since 1977 his company has created a high-profile mainstream image for natural foods. In 1992 Grains & Beans opened a small cafe within the retail store that became so popular and profitable, he decided to expand the concept into a full service restaurant. Jack brings with him a track record of success in the natural foods industry. His management style is innovative and in keeping with the corporate style outlined in the mission statement.
69 | P a g e
Compensation & Incentives
Abonda will offer competitive wages and salaries to all employees with benefit packages available to key personnel only. Board of Directors
An impressive board of directors has been assembled that represents some top professional from the area. They will be a great asset to the development of the company. Consultants & Professional Support Resources
At the present, no outside consults have been retained, excepting the design department at Best Equipment. Management to be Added
We are presently searching for a general manager and executive chef. These key employees will be well chosen and given incentives for performance and growth. Management Structure & Style
Jack Morton will be the President and Chief Operating Officer. The general manager and chef will report to him. The assistant manager and sous-chef will report to their respective managers, and all other employees will be subordinate to them. Ownership
Jack Morton and the stockholders will retain ownership with the possibility of offering stock to key employees if deemed appropriate. Long-Term Development & Exit Plan Goals
Abonda is an innovative concept that targets a new, growing market. We assume that the market will respond, and grow quickly in the next 5 years. Our goals are to create a
70 | P a g e
reputation of quality, consistancy and security (safety of food) that will make us the leader of a new style of dining. Strategies
Our marketing efforts will be concentrated on take-out and delivery, the areas of most promising growth. As the market changes, new products may be added to maintain sales.
Risk Evaluation
With any new venture, there is risk involved. The success of our project hinges on the strength and acceptance of a fairly new market. After year 1, we expect some copycat competition in the form of other independent units. Chain competition will be much later. Exit Plan
Ideally, Abonda will expand to five units in the next 10 years. At that time, we will entertain the possibility of a buy-out by a larger restaurant concern or actively seek to sell to a new owner.

COMPILATION ETIQUETTES:
Purpose
39:
RULES
IN
BUSINESS
COMMUNICATION
In the business world, it's important to try to give the best impression possible. This is true whether you're dealing with co-workers, supervisors, executives or customers. Good manners will impress customers and earn their loyalty. Etiquette will also impress your peers and superiors and may help you get good assignments, raises and even promotions. Telephone Etiquette
Identify yourself and your business when you answer the phone, and ask the caller how you can help him. When he tells you, repeat the information to make sure you understood it correctly. If the caller is upset, remain calm and polite and try to reassure him that you will assist. If you need to put him on hold to check something, ask his permission. If you must call him back, get his number and repeat it to make sure it is right, then give him a time frame for your return call. If you need to transfer him to another person, let him know the name and phone number or extension of the party so he can call back directly in case he gets disconnected.
Email Etiquette
People tend to think of email as an informal means of communication, but it must have a professional tone when you use it for business. Keep emails short and to the point. This shows respect for the recipient's time. Make the Subject line as descriptive as possible. If you need a response within a certain time frame, state that clearly in the email. Provide your telephone number in case the recipient prefers to call you instead of replying by email. Sign the email with your full name, title and company. Do not send attachments without getting permission first. People are often reluctant to download an unexpected attachment because of the danger of viruses. Meeting Etiquette
Send out an invitation that includes an agenda so recipients can decide whether or not they need to be present. Send out a reminder the day before the meeting. Start it at the stated time out of respect for the people who show up on schedule. Make sure everyone has a chance to speak. Don't interrupt others, and don't allow other meeting participants to make interruptions. End the meeting at the stated time, giving a summary of what was covered and confirming any action items. If you didn't make it through the entire agenda, schedule another meeting rather than running overtime. This shows respect for attendees who may have something scheduled afterwards. Introduction Etiquette
75 | P a g e
When you are being introduced to someone, you should always stand up, and if you are behind a desk, you should come around to the front for the greeting. Once someone has been introduced to you, don't automatically use his first name unless he gives permission. If you are the one making the introduction, base the order on business authority, and use the person's full name and title. Those who are highest in the hierarchy should always be introduced first.
COMPILATION 40: TIPS IN TELEPHONE CONVERSATION:

Telephone Etiquette Ask the caller, "May I know who I am speaking to?" Avoid unnecessary jargon and acronyms in your conversations. Use the caller's name in your conversation. Practice good listening skills. Make sure you speak clearly and are smiling as you answer the phone; also identify yourself. Before placing a caller on hold, ask their permission first and thank them. It is better to return a call than to keep someone on hold too long. If the phone rings back to you, you've kept them on hold too long. Do not forget to return the call as you promised. Do not permit the phone to ring in the office more than three times. Always use a pleasant, congenial and friendly tone. Never interrupt the person while he/she is talking to you. Never engage in an argument with a caller. Do not handle an unhappy caller's concern openly at the check-in and check-out desk. Do not make it a habit of receiving personal calls at work. Do not answer the phone if you are eating or chewing gum. Do not give the impression that you are rushed. It is better to return the call when you can give the person the time they need to handle the reason for their call.
76 | P a g e
Learn how to handle several callers simultaneously with ease and grace. Return calls promptly that have been left on voicemail. Always get the best number (and an alternate) and the best time to have a call returned to the caller, especially if a manager or another team member must return the call. Do not ever leave a message with someone else or on an voice-mail regarding details of a delinquent account. Instead, leave a message asking the person to call the "Accounting Department." Always make collection calls in private and away from the patient flow or public areas. If possible, provide a telephone for patients/customers/clients to use. An area providing privacy is preferred. Do not call a patient, customer or client's home before 8:00AM or after 9:00PM, unless they've given you permission to do so.
Always have something available to write with. Answer calls by the second or third ring. Smile when you answer your calls. Even though the caller can't see it, they'll hear the smile in your voice. Use a "telephone voice" in which you control your volume and speed. Speak clearly. Be enthusiastic and respectful. If there is a problem, be concerned, empathetic, and apologetic. Thank the caller for calling. Ask them to call again. Never eat, drink, or chew gum while you are on a call.
-to GOD be the glory
