TECHNICAL APPROACH- LOGISTICS

In developing a partnership, we will unify “dinner and a movie” in one location. Great selling

point! Our companies will still continue to function as is however, with further improvements

in service and offers. Monthly board meetings to discuss progress and suggestions can be

instituted in order to keep on track and to develop ideas. In renting our space, we have

control over landlord related finance however creatively, the control belongs to the

partnership between the restaurant and theater.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH- ACCOMPLISHING

To insure that we would be able to achieve our plans by the anticipated date, we could create

a time table of what needs to get done and the date it needs to be accomplished by. The

preplanning will take time and will need its own plan in itself. Once we have finessed that feat,

we should have a better idea of how long it will take to prepare the restaurant. While it is

being prepared, we can also work further on the finances, hiring, and specifics. Creating a

layout of everyone’s execution plan to make certain it gets done will be a way for us to know

who’s doing what and when it will be expected by. Although it may seem overwhelming, with

our ambition and support, we can persevere.

COST BREAKDOWN- HOW WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY

As it was mentioned earlier, SayingSunflower is willing to rent the main floor space in the

neighboring building, with a binding contract that can be discussed should we move forward,

for a reasonably low price. The location has already been approved by restaurant inspectors

stating that the kitchen is accommodating to cooks and more than spacious enough for

customers. We are willing to offer you $990 a month with a down payment of $500.

Currently, there are no other locations within this town or the surrounding areas that are as

affordable.

CONCLUSION

The SayingSunflower Theater was designed to engage our customers with an adventure they

will leave satisfied with. And in collaborating, we know they will leave feeling as if they had an

incredible time. We care about providing them with the best service which is why we would

like to partner with Falling Leaves Restaurant to continue to make that happen.
