Consumer Marketing Project-Bella Napoli
Robert Edwards, Hardy Anderson, and Larry D. Stephney
Park University
MK 351 Principles of Marketing
DR. Blaugrund, Erin Baca
December 13, 2012

Introduction
The team of three students consisting of Robert Edwards, Hardy Anderson, and Larry D. Stephney visited Belle Napoli restaurant on November 15, 2012 as part of the MK 351 Principles of Marketing class, coordinated by our instructor DR. Blaugrund, Erin Baca. The purpose for our visit was to conduct detailed observation at a local restaurant to assist us in writing a seven to ten page summary of our findings.
Our team selected Johnny Carino’s restaurant located 675 Sunland Park Drive, El Paso, TX to compare to Belle Napoli. Both restaurants brand is Italian food, Bella Napoli and Johnny Carino’s are located three miles apart. Johnny Carino’s is located less than a mile from the Sunland Park Mall, while Bella Napoli is three miles away from the Sunland Park Mall. Another Italian restaurant is the Olive Garden located at 740 Sunland Park Drive El Paso, TX. Olive Garden was not selected for comparison because its menu was not comparable to Bella Napoli and each of the members of the team has frequently eaten at Olive Garden.
The team spent the majority of our time observing Bella Napoli, however, we did focus enough time and energy researching Johnny Carino’s to make a constructive comparison. We divided the comparisons into four factors, Location, Exterior Atmospherics, Interior Atmospherics, and the four Ps (Place, Product, Price and Promotion). Bella Napoli is a good Italian restaurant with tremendous opportunity to become better with improvements in the Exterior Atmospherics, Interior Atmospherics, and a focused promotional effort.
The location looks to be a typical business area with some residential housing within the area. It is located on a main street (North Mesa) which is good for visibility to potential customers. The location is in the area

    The ingredients and products create financial constraints which affect Riverside Indian Fusion more as they have to buy more expensive products to create the type of fusion food that they are looking for such as spices from India mixed with some Italian pasta which would cost a lot as spices have to be imported and can take longer to get to the destination. On the other hand, Bellaggio’s does not have the same problem as it does not cost a lot to make pasta or pizza and purely depends on the fillings and toppings for the meal which can make the price either go up or down on the product. Another financial constraint is the equipment they can buy as if the restaurant consists of fusion food then it will cost more to make that fusion food and…

    The Olive Garden is my favorite Italian restaurant for many reasons. As soon as you walk in, you are almost overwhelmed by the hostess's hospitality. You are then warmed by the cozy atmosphere and pretty dangling lights that are streaming from wall to wall. After being seated, you are spoiled with as many servings of bread sticks and salad as you can eat. Their portions are much larger than Carrabba's and even cheaper. My favorite dish is their fettuccini alfredo. Every time that I go to The Olive Garden I get the same thing because I can't seem to make myself get something different in fear that I may not enjoy it as much.…

    The food industry in Canada, with its highly competitive market continues to evolve and change each day, affected by its financial surroundings, mechanical progression and accordingly, the shifting nature of consumer behavior (Office of Consumer Affairs, 2013). Canadian restaurant sector can be divided into three groups, the fast food or quick service, the mid- scale casual dining, and the fine dining. Ostensibly dominating the second group of casual dining is the Boston Pizza International Inc. (also known as BP). This research project is based on the Boston Pizza perceived as a Platinum Member of Canada 's 50 Best Managed Companies.

Data collected is through the information available on the company’s website and other relevant websites, journals and articles and hence the implied limitation. It begins with the evaluation of the impact of various functions of the Boston Pizza such human resources, finance, operations, and marketing.

    2. Olive Garden has spent years working hard towards their image as a wholesome family dining establishment. Its venues are decorated with many Italian elements to make if feel as comfortable and home-like as possible. The brand has had much success, especially with them supporting philanthropic activities. I don't think their image is consistent with the image of "The Girls Next Door". Olive Garden appeals to parents, grandparents, and families and this is not what the TV show is about. I don't see families sitting down to watch a show about the Playboy girls.…

    With more than 1800 restaurants spread throughout the country Darden Restaurants has become the largest full service restaurant company. Darden's success lies with in its ability to create brands with similar operations as well as effectively differentiating and positioning their brands. Some of the ways Darden differentiated their brands was by creating restaurants that provide customers with an emotional as well as physical experience. For example The Olive Garden, which is one of Dardens most promising brands and accounts for half of dardens annual revenues, focused on the concept of creating a mythical Italian family dining, hence their marketing phrase “When your here, your family”. Darden targeted the customers that wanted to experience an italian style dining atmosphere. Olive garden's management worked directly with italian chefs to capture the authenticity of italian style cooking and food. An example of effective marketing positioning is Red Lobsters strategy to develop a healthier style of dining as well as a more appealing menu. Red Lobster had to make some substantial changes when their sales dropped back in 2004. At the center of these changes was a concept that Red lobster referred to as “Stealth Health” which was a concept that prompted a development of a new menu based off wood-fired grilling. With one third of its new menu consisting of wood-fired grilled food, it helped bring in new customers who were interested in trying something new. Although this concept may have drawn away its original patrons, they targeted a segment that was much more abundant. However, Red Lobster did its best to keep original items on the menu for their loyal classic customer. I also feel this concept was created based of the facts that a majority of the customer base is shifting to more healthier options when dining out. The “Stealt health” strategy is an excellent approach to provide for this shifting…
