Food and Beverage Marketing Research –

This study also provides the basis for developing an adequate Food and Beverage Marketing plan.

Together these analyses answer questions related to the undertaking's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and constitute a situation analysis.
Property Analysis
Property analysis is a written, neutral estimate of a food service operation's production and service areas, products, and services. This analysis is used to determine the operation's strengths and weaknesses. Should carefully evaluate the building and site in terms of traffic flow, accessibility, visual appeal, and compatibility with local surroundings. These data will enable managers to compare the property and the competition.
Competition Analysis
It is equally important to know what the competition is doing. A competition analysis should be done in the same categories listed in the practicality study. Food service managers and staff should visit competitors' undertakings at various times to completely understand competitors' service and atmosphere.
