Bargaining power of buyer means that how much the buyers can control prices and quality. If
the buying power of buyer is high this means that they have high control on price and quality. If
they have low bargaining power it means that their control over price and quality and will be
low.
The bargaining power of Buyer in restaurant industry is high. Because the range of suppliers in
this industry are high and buyer can buy from any supplier that gives him quality product with a
good price deal. In this industry the buyers are willing to pay more but they are not
compromising the quality of the product. So if quality of material goes down the buyer will sure
switch towards other quality products.
Threat of Substitutes
The threat of a substitute is the level of risk that a company faces from replacement by its
substitutes. A substitute is a product that a customer can use instead of using other product. It is
an important factor because it affects company and industry profitability. A low threat from
substitutes means that there will be less competition among the existing firms and there will be
more potential to earn higher profits. A high threat of substitute results in high competition
among existing firms and less potential to earn higher products.
In restaurant industry threat of substitutes is moderate. Because people now a days want more
specialty oriented brands and they go to brands that have a specific specialty. For example if a
person want to eat a pizza he will not go to any general restaurant but he will prefer to go to
Pizza Hut, Dominos etc. and if he want to eat burgers he will prefer KFC, McDonalds.
Threat of New Entrants
Threat of new entrants means whether or not a new entrant can easily penetrate in the market or
not. If there is a higher threat of new entrants, this means that there are low barriers to entry and
there is high possibility that the industry profit potential will decrease as a whole. This is because
more competitors will fight for the same amount of business.
Threat of new entrants in restaurants industry is low because people are tend to buy from
different chains which are renown in market and have multiple branches all over the country. So
setting up a new business in such a competition requires heavy capital and long time to build
trust.
Industry Rivalry
The factor of competitive rivalry has significant impact on the competitive environment a
company operates in because the degree of competitiveness has direct impact on the potential for
profit that a company can expect. A highly competitive market may end up being detrimental to
all companies involved, with lower profit margins and less ability to decide price points.
Industry rivalry in restaurant industry is high because people have more choice and it is a leisure
product also and people not only want good taste but a good experience. On this base many
restaurants are giving their facility a theme to differentiate their product from other and cater
more customer by providing a unique experience.
Empathy: They have an excellent feedback system. The feedback of the customer was one of
the important factor for them. If there is an issue with any customer and he reported to restaurant
it is their policy to resolve that issue within 24 hours.
