Location

Hops Beer Garden will be located at 346 Atwood Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. This location has a large outdoor area that provides an enjoyable atmosphere. The Oakland community has almost 8,000 residents, but the restaurant will attract customers from the greater Pittsburgh area, allowing for a larger customer base. The average age of an Oakland resident is 23, and the average age of a Pittsburgh resident is 33.5, thus the age group Hops will be catering to is in their twenties to mid-thirties. The median household income for Pittsburgh residents from 2009- 2013 is $39,195 per year. Affordability will taken into consideration for this income range in determining products and prices. The location also ensures that suppliers will always be present because it is a large city with many diverse supplier options.

Restaurant Interior There will be a wooden bar on the inside of the restaurant used for serving food and beer. Wooden tables and chairs will be used on the inside and plastic chairs and tables will be used on the outside. Pictures and paintings from local student artists will adorn the walls.

Marketing

Hops Beer Garden is a new addition to a highly saturated market; however, Hops will compete on a platform highlighting the exceptional, international food as well as seasonal beers. Hops will offer a diverse promotional mix, consisting of advertising, direct marketing, sales promotions and public relations. The total advertising budget will be $10,000 at start-up and $10,000 per quarter, which can be broken down as follows:

Method Start-Up Cost Cost Per Quarter Social Media $1,000 $1,000 Direct Mail $1,000 $1,000 Sales Promotion $6,500 $3,000 Community Involvement $1,500 $5,000 Total Cost $10,000 $10,000

Social Media Social Media has become one of the most influential types of communication between companies and consumers. Based on the information gathered from the target market, coupled with the data gathered from customer demographics, several marketing strategies have been designed centering on social media. A key part is centered on Twitter, which will be used to tweet Hops’ specials, any new entrée options, and to advertise any new beers Hops may be premiering. Hops Beer Garden will also have a presence on Grubhub, not as delivery, but as a convenient way to order take out. While Hops will be unable to make deliveries due to the fact that alcohol is served and may only be consumed on the property, Hops presence on Grubhub will be a great way for customers to quickly and easily order food for in-store pickup.

Direct Mail Marketing Hops will be creating flyers, menus, coupons and other promotional items which can be mailed directly to the homes of the residents in Oakland. This will help draw in potential customers in the area, and it will be more accessible for people who spend less time on the Internet and respond more to physical materials. See Supporting document D for a sample menu.

Hops Beer Garden Business Plan

Sales Promotion Along with the coupons and promotions that will be sent to potential customers in the mail, every Thursday night will be a $6 beer night to entice customers to come in for discounted beer.

Community Involvement Hops Beer Garden will be immediately active in the local community in order to develop favorable name recognition as well as be respected within the target market. Hops Beer Garden will donate to organizations such as Play 60 and Keep it Clean, Oakland! as these are two prominent organizations in the community. In addition Hops Beer Garden will offer fundraising events for clubs or organizations at the local colleges and universities. Hops will put a strong emphasis on making sure employees and management are very respectful to the customers and neighbors in the area. These methods of community involvement will ensure that Hops Beer Garden is a respected company in the Oakland-Pittsburgh area.

Grand Opening The grand opening of Hops Beer Garden will be in May 2016 because spring is a prime time for the outdoor seating during the spring and summer months. Hops will also be able to establish itself during the summer before the college population returns to Oakland. During the grand opening Hops plans on serving $5 half chicken; this promotion encompasses the majority of the cost allocated to sales promotion during start-up. This promotion will bring in customers all day for dine-in and take-out, and is a great way to establish a customer base.

Competition

Hops Beer Garden will surpass the competition because of the opportunities offered, the menu, and the affordable prices as well as an accessible location. The synergy between these offerings at Hops will be difficult for competitors to replicate. The opportunities offered by Hops Beer Garden include the outdoor seating and beer garden aspect. Hops Beer Garden has a marketing strategy in place to effectively use search engine marketing (SEM) and social media to attract the target market. Due to the location of the restaurant, the target market will be college students and other young professionals in the Oakland area. It is located in the middle of a large college student population in the central Oakland region of Pittsburgh. The main challenge regarding competition would not be attracting customers, but keeping them coming back to the establishment. This would be possible through the extensive training that Hops’ employees will receive from management. A competitive analysis using the aforementioned SWOT model shows: SWOT Analysis Hofbraühaus Positive Negative Strengths Weaknesses  Diverse menu options  Purely German Internal  Respected international reputation  Location for student population  Plentiful seating  Quality of food Opportunities Threats  Accessibility with public  Festivals and events in the External transportation South Side area  Promotions for German Holidays  Other in the area  Local

Mad Mex Positive Negative Strengths Weaknesses  Easy access for PITT students  Minimal Seating Internal  Well known own franchise  Small interior  Diverse Menu options  Only serves Mexican cuisine Opportunities Threats  Different types of alcohol/ mixed  New Entrants External drinks  Seasonal Revenue  Promotions for Mexican holidays

Estimated Revenue

Estimated revenue was gathered through meticulous research of various factors, including cost per menu item and number of orders. Knowledge of the many revenue influencing factors is essential to accurately forecast the restaurants first few years. The CEO, based on his extensive experience in the restaurant industry, set menu item prices and his understanding of the customer base that Hops is catering to. The cost of goods sold is dictated by the supplier, Curtze, thus the price margin is set by these two stakeholders. The estimated number of orders was based on the demographics of the Oakland-Pittsburgh region and discussions with other restaurants in the same industry. The same method was used to gather information on various menu items. These statistics were influenced by the promotions offered and the days of the week, which dictate how many customers come per day. Combining the weighted average margin of the items and the number of items purchased provides an authentic estimated revenue, which follows:
