Business Decision Making
Business Decision Making
Am preparing a business plan for the proposed business concept of ‘Home Chef’. Mr James Harvey who is currently working as a chef in a popular London Restaurant serving a variety of food is considering starting his own business. He is convinced that the London’s affluent customers would like the idea of cooking and serving food at home by qualified and skilled people for special events and occasions.
Aim;
The following are the aims I want to achieve;
· The aim of my research is to find out if the idea of home chef is a good idea and which areas will be suitable for me to operate in.
· And to find out if the business will be profitable which is the main case of starting a business in the first place.
Justification;
The reason for carrying this research is because the use of personal chef is becoming common in America, so I thought it would be a good idea to start in UK. Instead of people buying take away, it will be healthy for them to have a personal chef cooking for them and just putting the food in the microwave to warm it. It will also be less stressful as compared to working in a restaurant.
Introduction
A personal chef is a chef that prepares meals for a client in the client 's home kitchen, based on the client 's needs and personal preferences. (www.wikipedia.com). In most cases these meals are left packaged in containers and refrigerated or frozen for the client to enjoy later. Some personal chefs, however, instead focus on cooking for dinner parties and other special occasions in the client 's home, which means they are responsible for shopping, preparing the meal, serving the guests and cleaning up afterward. The menu is preplanned and discussed with the client, then prepared in their home
A personal chef is distinct from a private chef, which refers to a chef that is employed exclusively by one client, and in some cases lives in the client 's home. When hiring a personal chef to provide either a packaged meal
