their customers to our kitchen, and in future we aim to set up our small outlets in
various gyms.

that proper hygiene standards could be made.
We use no hazardous chemicals as it’s a food service.
Our involvement in the community organizations will be that we will be one of the
startups to introduce this kind of service in India.
We will hire trained chefs and graduated dieticians to avoid hazards at the centre as
well as the customer level.
Internal Analysis
The strength of our firm is that it will produce products according to the wish and
demand of our customers and it is one of its kinds of startup towards eating healthy.
Weakness is the risk of the idea getting not accepted and the problem that we could
face too accommodate future funds also establishment of similar startups in the city
could hamper our product sale which could be a competency for our business.
We have very less competition in the market that too is recently established.

We plan to sell a product that fits the requirements of fitness freaks and patients suffering
from diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure etc. Fit Food Kitchen uses the best quality
material and prepares meal measuring fats, carbohydrates, proteins according to the
demands of the customer. This service is a first of its kind in the market with very less
competitors and our kitchen has high chances of achieving a monopoly status. The price
is kept affordable, minimum being rupees 100. As the name suggests, our kitchen uses
top quality material. The location is kept near gyms and high profile areas of the city as
they are expected to be our first customers.
our CEO Mr. Tushar Choudhary has a good amount of experience related to healthy food
as he himself is involved in fitness for past 3.5 years therefore he has clear differentiation
amongst the healthy meals and how to prepare them and he also has connections with
various gym and fitness trainers.
MARKET ASSESSMENT
The market is new for this service with one or two competitors in the city. The important
customer need of the era, to have meal with specific quantity of nutrients for fitness
freaks and patients who are prescribed certain kind of meals and this is not fulfilled by the
market. Filling this gap through our startup is our target. We have the opportunity of
exploring and creating monopoly in the new market, the failure of new and rare idea is
our threat and also the obvious threat of lack of funds. The trend we foresee is this kind of
service being a part of daily life of youths. The hectic and unhealthy lives of our cities
and growing awareness of good health among people is our force of change.
Customer analysis
Our major customers would include gym goers, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure
patients and old age people. We sell to each of our customer’s meal according to their
demand with their choice of quantity and ingredients and the taste they demand. We will
solve the key customer problem of having a meal with their choice of quantity of
nutrients and taste. We need to meet the expectations of the customer to retain them.
7
However in our case, we being one of the few providing this service in the city, we expect
fewer problems to face retaining the customer. We need to work hardly and smartly. This
being a startup we can’t take the chance of disappointing the customer at the first glance
or instance.
STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION

Our products primarily are food items therefore the productions of the meals are
based upon vegetables, fruits and other grocery items needed. The product will be
prepared by the chefs in our kitchen and the machinery will be used for it consists
of normal kitchen utensils and accessories like blender, toaster, gas, griller etc.
The value associated with our product will be that of being healthy and eat health
which will target the consciousness if the people and urge them to strive towards
healthy food.
The growth option that we will be using to expand our business are collaboration ,
integration , networking .

organise and run the firm advisors are also needed.
The financial resources needed will be around 5 lacs for the startup.

items, kitchen machinery etc.
Sourcing/Procurement Strategy
The products which are used in the production if the meals are purchased through
reputed stores and of brands which are recognised by the FSSAI and satisfy all
their standards.

preferred.

Marketing strategy
Our sales plan is to make sale of the food items so that our cost invested in the
startup comes out and we could make profits.
Advertising the store is our main motive through social media, pamphlets,
promotions in gym, health centres, sending sms, giving appealing discounts,
some free give away.
Performance Standards
The quality of food will not be compromised and it is the most important factor
to decide the performance standard
The efficiency of the workers in providing meal to people in time.
To monitor performance timely audit will be done to ensure whether all
functions are taking place correctly.
Project head will be the concerned person to monitor performance and even the
other post holders can also give their inputs when needed.
FINANCIAL PLAN
The funding of the business will be primarily based on government startup
scheme and another option will be angel investor.
Capital debt fund will be provided by angel investor.
The outside investors will be used to fund our expenses and all the cost that is
needed to set up the startup and once the startup is well settled and profitable
then the investor money can be used to set up collaboration outlets in gyms.
In case any financial risk happens then it will be managed through the
investment, some of the investment amount will be kept to manage the financial
risk.
The financial aspects that will be monitored are equity, asset growth and any
debt.
Contingency Plan
9
If our primary fail does not succeed than we will be selling some of our assets in
order to recover our investment made in the startup and in the startup does not
succeeds after it then we will wind it up.
In case of an emergency in the business we will have recourse to namely three
options i.e. Emergency funds – which will be kept away from the main capital
investment, Emergency Collaborations – we will have prior collaborations with
already established kitchens if in case we do not prosper in our business then we
will collaborate with them by handing over our business idea to them. Lastly we
will have insurance made on our kitchen if any such emergency occurs then we
can claim money from the insurance agency.
In case any one of the members of our group happens to leave or anything
happens to him then we will recruit a similar person with same skills who can
replace him very well.
