Market Planning Solutions for
Multi-Unit Development
Experience Matters
Market planning is an essential part of any restaurant growth strategy. By carefully planning your market entry, you can increase your chances of success through market expansion.
One of the most important aspects of market planning is understanding your target market. Who are your customers? What are their needs and wants? What are their convenience expectations? Where is the competition? Once you understand your target market, you can develop an expansion strategy that will appeal to them.
Here are some examples of how data-driven insights can be used for successful restaurant expansion:
Improved site selection
By analyzing data on demographics, traffic patterns, and competition, you can identify the best locations for new restaurants. This can help you avoid opening restaurants in areas that are already saturated or that do not have a strong customer base.
Trade area delineation
The process of identifying and defining the geographic area that a business can reasonably expect to draw customers from. This information can be used to identify the best locations for new restaurants and to ensure that new restaurants are not cannibalizing sales from existing restaurants.
Optimized sustainability
By analyzing data on costs, revenue, and profitability, you can identify the most sustainable locations. This can help you avoid opening restaurants that are not profitable or that are not likely to be sustainable in the long term.
Enhanced brand presence
By analyzing data on customer sentiment, brand awareness, and market share, you can identify opportunities to improve market penetration.
