Themed Restaurant Business Plan

The initial management team depends on the founders themselves, with little back-up.  As we grow, we will take on additional consulting help, plus graphic/editorial, sales, and marketing.

Full of Bologna, A Taste of North Italy depends on the Main Bartender (Gimli Kefalotiri), Main Managers (Tsoutsouros Graviera and Vasto Parmigiano) and Executive Chef/Owner (Fluto Gorgonzola) for management.  Main management responsibilities will be divided between the top three.  While all three are still focused mainly on the quality of expertise, one must take ultimate responsibility for administration and finance and marketing, one for personnel and property and one for food service.

Operating under the successful principles of noted consultant W. Edwards Deming – we will not have organizational charts, preferential parking spots or other icons that create barriers to growth and heightened team development. 

The key to fulfillment and delivery will be provided by the principal of the business, Fluno Gorgonzola and a host of team helpers.  Ensuring success each step of the way, with invaluable resource veterans, is key this plan.  The real core value is professional expertise, provided by a combination of experience, hard work, and education (in that order) from several helpers.
