Analyst
Recommendations and Risk Factors
Analyst recommendations
include must have’s across important criterion such as location, design of
outlet, engagement with customers, popularity of the chef, operational
efficiencies and focus on word of mouth. For example, when considering
operational efficiencies, focusing on digitalizing restaurant menu and order
systems and building loyalty programs could lead to better utilization of the
restaurant space and lead to a maintained order flow.
Risk factors would be centered
on parameters such as revenue dependency, customer stickiness, operational
feasibility, ecosystem support, financial feasibility, government factors and
demand momentum. For example, when considering ecosystem support, it is
important to be cognizant of the import restrictions and rapidly changing
prices since it may become difficult to ensure adequate supply and type of raw
materials.
