They want a clear menu with many meal deals already to go for a quicker exchange at the till. They expect the food to be cheap in price and also filling to satisfy their hunger. Prêt’s customer’s expectations are quite different as they expect to receive a welcoming environment where each customer is valued; this means that Prêt wants to keep them coming back unlike McDonalds which is a ‘grab and go’ restaurant. The staff are trained to a high standard and enjoy their job so that the happy energy is transferred to customers when they come in. The customers of Prêt also expect fresh food made from scratch every day with no preservatives or additives added which is one of Prêt’s main policies. Going back to the expectation of Pret being a welcoming place, the design of all the stores comes into play and they try and make it as casual and relaxing as possible with sofas, lighting and appropriate posters. b) How the elements of the marketing mix are integrated and how they relate to each other. McDonalds uses the marketing mix in their operations a lot. They start with designing a Product, for example the Big Mac. For this product to sell well...

I will be describing the business organisation, an explanation of the style of the organisation within the business and how it helps them to fulfil their purpose. An organisational structure enables a business to meet their purposes, it divides up the work and establishes lines of control and community. Dividing up work allows a clear understanding of who is doing what. The organisational structure is often a chain of command or line of control and sets out important aspects of how communication takes place. The organisational structure controls organisational activities to avoid conflict and individuals making decisions. The structure depends on the organisations objectives, purpose and strategy. The top layer of the structure usually has the most power and control of the businesses decisions.[1] There are several different organisational structures, these include flat, hierarchical and matrix. They all are in place to make sure that the business is set out in a clear way and is easier to see who is above who.

When I say being able to find your restaurant it isn’t just being able to find it physically if it is down a side street or at the end of a long country road. Invite a few people to your restaurant, send them a copy of your advert or leaflet and then ask them how easy it was to find you. Get some feedback on how easy it was to find the area you are in, the particular street and your premises. Check if your directions are clear and if your signage was easy to follow. Then ask them about the advert or leaflet you sent them Location isn't just a physical location. Location can also be viewed in another perspective. Can people find you online and is your website attractive? In an age when people Google for all sorts of information, including the location of hotels, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops you need to be visible not only with your own website but also via directories and on Google Maps, Google Earth and SatNav.

I believe a city train station would be very good as there is always people using trains as transport to and from other places. People would prefer to have a nice place to sit, instead of sitting in a waiting room they could be enjoying a nice hot coffee. How about offering free samples of your food?
