To open a fast food restaurant first it is important to understand what is fast food,what are its advantages & popularity factors

Foods designed for ready availability, use or consumption and sold at eating establishments for quick availability

or take-out

Why fast food is so popular

Cheap price. Fast service i.e. No delays or waiting at tables

for the food. You can make special requests to avoid calories

such as Mayonnaise & special sauces. Nutritional information is available. Tasty food. Easy portion control i.e. choose small, regular,

junior or single sizes. Products have reasonably good shelf life. On premises consumption and take away

facilities.

In 1972, $ 3 billion a year was spent on fast food - today more than $110 billion is spent.

McDonald's feeds more than 46 million people a day - more than the entire population of Spain.

fries are the most eaten vegetable in America McDonald's operates more than 30,000

restaurants in more then 100 countries on 6 continents.

Why is it a growing market?????????? Change in eating habits i.e. many

times people want to get a change from their routine diet.

Teenagers are less conservative in eating habits and love to enjoy the food at fast food outlets.

Fast food outlets are becoming a venue for treats and parties by the teenagers.

Home delivery is made available. A fraction of women population prefer

to dine out rather than spending time at home to prepare food.

Shogi – National Highway

We visited different places near Shimla but most of the venues were already surrounded by various fast food outlets and were renowned.

We got to know about Shogi where land is available and the nearby restaurants were 2Kms away.

We are going to target the visiting tourists and people interested in throwing parties away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, as they are potential customers and can spend at highly priced items.

It is near to national highway. Nearest restaurants are 2 kms far. Most of

the time in the season all the covers are occupied due to which the customers are required to wait for their turn.

No major diversion is available before shogi, which ensures that all the tourists going to Shimla will pass from this location.

Surrounded by natural greenery acting as attraction to tourists.

More nature ,less commercialization.

Design options we have……… As per the area available we have

two options of designs in which the number of covers varies.
