Popment of business for
the Greenhill restaurant. Business development entails tasks and processes used
for developing and implementing growth opportunities within and between
organizations (Joyce, Vincent, & Onno, 2014). In other words, it is about creating long
term value for key stakeholders including customers and markets (EiMenu
The hotel is offering quite a diverse menu which also is its strength. In future, it is expected to further increase its menu line so diverse menu is also its strength since now a days customer want to try new and new dishes.

The weaknesses of the hotel are as under.
· Weak Cash Balance
The hotel has recently started its operations and do not make very large sale. The result is that there is weak cash balance available to the hotel administratiobe,
2012). The business development officer
or personnel are hired to do the function of business development. Their work
normally includes finding new channels and markets for distribution, conducting
research for identifying and developing new products and services, exploring
and negotiating acquisitions of other companies, coming up with joint venture
concepts, and finding ways of staying competitive and introducing products and
services to the new customers and markets. The business development for the
Green Hill Restaurant in the light of its current environment is proposed as
follow.
Introduction of
New Products
Currently,
mostly, the restaurant is offering traditional dishes to its customers. One way
of doing business development can be to introduce new products. Keeping in view
the Swat area and its local food taste, new dishes such as Japanese Sushi and
Pizza, can be introduced. Sushi may be a
new dish but it is expected that it will get the attraction of the customers. Further,
there are already pizza based restaurants in the city, so Swat people have
developed some taste for the pizza. Additionally, hotel can also start the
concept of providing healthy food. The trend of healthy food is new in Pakistan
but it is gaining momentum especially among educated and young people who want
to keep themselves fit and healthy.
Tapping to new
Markets
The restaurant
is already offering restaurant dining services as well as catering services for
the wedding. Further, it can tap in to some new markets such as delivering food
to the local offices or corporate events. For example, it can contact with some
local businesses where it can start delivering the food during lunch time.
Making contact with local hotels where tourists visit can also be an option.
There are some local hotels which do not have food services available, so
developing such relationship can be beneficial for the hotel. Another point of
development can be to contact with some local transport services and ask them
to stop their vehicles for lunch, dinner, or refreshment while passing the
area.
In sum, the
business development is about finding opportunities for expanding business. For
the Greenhill restaurant, the expected opportunities are introduction of new
products such as healthy food, fast food, International food, and tapping to
new markets such as looking for corporate clients.

business and low investment required to open a restaurant. As the number of
restaurants/hotels is increasing in the area, so do the competition and this is
a threat since they can take away the business from the hotel.
·
Rising
Food Cost
Food material
cost such as meat, fish, and other material is increasing very rapidly. The
rising cost is a threat sin in such a manner that its location is between the hills and in a very green area. Now because of visitors and the hotel operations, the natural environment may be damaged or get effected. The managemenotel. Furthermore, because of current
political situation of the country and upcoming elections, it can be argued
that there is slight instability in the country which can create decrease in
business for the hospitality industry including Greenhill hotel.
Economical
Factor
The economic
factor include the economic indicators of the country such as its GDP,
inflation, GNP, employment rate and so on. For Greenhill, the economic factor
are that there is steady increase in the industrialization and economic
activity in the country. Further, there is some economic progress made in the
Swat region as well. An additional prospect is the CPEC project which is
expected to bring a lot of investment and industry to the Pakistan. The result
of CPEC project can be that there will be greater job opportunities and greater
disposable income available to the ordinary Pakistanis. This means that there
will be boost to the tourism business including the tourism in SWAT and then to

factor include country’s culture, its norms, values, beliefs, lifestyle and so
on. The social factor in Pakistan are that there is gradual increase in
education. Further, there is influence of Western culture to the Pakistani society.
There is also rising radicalism in Pakistan. The social factor for Greenhill

can offer its products through social media marketing. Further, one trend of
society is greater consumption pattern which means also greater business
opportunities for the hotel. The trend of healthy lifestyle may create some
problems for the hotel unless it offers the healthy food options in its menu.

increased use of computer, mobile phones, and internet. 3G and 4G internet
services on handheld devices is one example of this rising IT based revolution
in the Pakistan. A great majority of population in Pakistan now uses some sort
of social media such as Facebook or Twitter. Thus, technology wise, we can say
that the hotel can take advantage from available technologies such as computer,
mobile phone, and so on. For example, it can offer its prices and menu through
specialized apps or websites. It can advertise its products using social media
marketing.

buyer have a lot of choice and we can say that thus buyer power is high In this

price and hotel is price taker. Hotel can change the supplier but almost all
suppliers offer equal or market based price.

entry

entry means ease with which new competitors can enter in the competition. In
case of Greenhill hotel, the threat of new entry is high since opening a new
restaurant requires relatively small investment. Further, there are not very
many regulations involved so it is quite easy for others to open hotels like
this. Thus, we can say that threat of new entry is high in hoteling industry.
Alternative
products

products means substitute products which can be used as alternative. In case of
Greenhill hotel, the alternative products are other firms offering similar or
some different products. For example, there are a lot of restaurant where
people can dine in. further, there are a lot of take away hotels/restaurants in
the city of Swat which also are competitors for the hotel. Thus, we can say
that alternative products are high in this regard.
Degree of rivalry
among participants
Based on the
high bargaining power of buyers and suppliers, high choice of alternative
products, and high threat of entry of new competitors, we can say that the
degree of rivalry among participants is high. In other words, there is high
competition among the firms in the hospitality industry/hotels/restaurants for
getting market share and customers. In this regard, we can say that suitable
strategy for hotel is to follow aggressive marketing programs.
