You run a large restaurant equipment distribution company that sells smokers to BBQ places all over the United States. There are three different types of BBQ restaurants: 1. Shacks (Seat, on average, 5 people at a time) 2. Dine-Ins (Seat, on average, 30 people at a time) 3. Chain franchises (Seat, on average, 50 people at a time) Smokers are used to cook basically all of the meat in a BBQ restaurant, and each person consumes, on average, .5 pounds of meat when they visit any kind of BBQ restaurant. Your smokers can cook up to 50 pounds of meat at a time, and all BBQ restaurants cook their meat within 12 hours of when it is to be served. Most BBQ restaurants are open for lunch and dinner and often do take out, but, of course, have a lot of variability as to the number of orders based on the time of day in which we are discussing. Based on the information I have given you, I want you to tell me the size of each customer segment and the size of the total market. In doing this, I want you to assume characteristics about each of these customer segments based on anything of your choosing that you believe makes sense. After conducting these calculations, tell me which market segment you believe is more attractive for your business, why you think it is most attractive and your plan to grow your market share within this segment. One more time: Feel free to assume anything you think makes sense about anything – but please list your assumptions.

Analysis of BBQ Restaurants
TYPE OF RESTAURANT SEATING CAPACITY CONSUMPTION PER PERSON APPROXIMATE CONSUMPTION OF RESTAURANT AT 1 TIME Total consumption per restaurant per day Total Cost per portion in USD Total Earning per day in USD Total over heads per month Fixed and variable Total earning per month Total Taxes total net profit
Shacks 5 0.5 2.5 20 5 100 100 3000 0 2900
Dine-ins 30 0.5 15 30 25 750 6500 22500 4050 11950
chain franchisee 50 0.5 25 50 25 1250 12000 37500 6750 18750
42.5 100
availability in pounds (pounds) 50 100
Assumptions:
Shack has zero rental and no tax liability and he serves himself is is also the cook himself
Dine ins and restaurants have tax liability to the tune of 18%
Turn around is much higher in shacks as footfalls are faster and leave faster
Best option is to invest in:
Chain Franchisee
Better returns
Better profitability

  3. Should Wendy’s drop Chili from it’s menu? Explain in a concise paragraph. Note: use CVP Analysis to compare Costing the Chili Wendy’s chili was prepared daily by the assistant manager, in accordance with Wendy’s secret recipe. It was slow-simmered in a double boiler on a separate range top for a period of four to six hours. While cooking, the chili had to be stirred at least once each hour, and at the end of the day it was refrigerated for sale the following day Normally, it took between 10 and 15 minutes to prepare a pot (referred to at Wendy’s as a batch) of chili. First, the 48 quarter-pound cooked ground beef patties needed for a batch were obtained, if available, from the walk-in cooler. This took about one minute. These patties had been “well-done” sometime during the previous three days. Most of the time, it was not necessary to cook meat specifically for use in making chili, although the need to do so was more likely to occur during the months of October through March when approximately 60% of total annual chili sales occurred. If, as only happened approximately 10% of the time, it became necessary to cook meat specifically for use in making chili, the number of beef patties needed were taken from the trays of uncooked hamburgers that had been prepared using a special patty machine, at the rate of 120 patties every five minutes, earlier that morning. On average, it toolk 10 minutes to cook 48 hamburger patties. Before it was placed in the chili pot, the meat had to be chopped into small pieces. This generally took about five minutes to do. The remaining ingredients then had to be obtained from the shelves and mixed with the meat. This process also took about five minutes to complete, after which the chili was ready to be cooked. The quantities and costs of the ingredients needed to make a batch of chili and the labor costs associated with the different classifications of restaurant personnel are shown in Tables 4 and 5. Other direct costs associated with the chili included serving bowls, $0.035 each; lids for chili served at the carry-out window, S0.025 each; and spoons, $0.01 each. Table 4.
