Executive Summary
INTRODUCTION

The number of movie theaters is decreasing as the major chains create multiplexes that pile more people into smaller spaces. This profit strategy has left once popular downtown theaters vacant. Second Run Pizza is a theater/restaurant business that believes there is a significant number of theater-goers that are craving a more satisfying and enjoyable way to catch a movie and a bit to eat. Second Run Pizza is renovating the downtown City plus Theater and creating a medium-size restaurant that will show second-run movies that have proven to still be popular in our target market. We will offer a totally unique dining and movie experience at an affordable price that will fill the theater with repeat customers, waiting to be satisfied once again.
Entrepreneur’s profile
The owners of Second Run Pizza Milind Tiwari and Nikunj Rungta, stress on two factors that they believe reaffirms the success of the business:
Milind's experience as a regular movie goer and Nikunj's family friend’s experience as manager of a small theater, will be helpful in turning the trends of a small art house theater into a complete profitable business. Co-owner Milind Tiwari’s family friend has been a regular of the city's restaurant scene for the past 15 years. He managed four successful restaurants and has received industrial accolades for his operational excellence. He is now a highly sought after consultant in improving restaurant operating efficiency and work flow. His client list includes the city's best restaurants.
Nikunj's family’s strong seven year working relationship with Film Distributors whichwill provide the second run films for Second Run Pizza. Nikunj Rungta’s family has 20 years of experience in the movie theater industry. One of Nikunj’s family relative was the manager for seven years before taking a position with Premiere Film Distributors while he served as a regional distribution coordinator for six years. When Nikunj took over the challenge of managing the Light house Theater, the business was failing and losing significant market share to the larger chain theaters such as Inox and Cinemax . Under his management, the theater regained its vitality as an Indie film center. Usage levels increase by 200% over a two-year period and the theater soon became a key feature in the city's cultural community. The combination of Milind and Nikunj's experience will ensure that Second Run will be a unique competitive force in both the theater and restaurant industries.

Our market and financial analyses indicate that with a start-up expenditure of Rs1,50,00,000, we can generate Rs3,00,00,000 in sales by the end of year one, and produce high net profits by the end of year three.

Company profile:

Objectives
Sales over Rs3,00,00,000 is estimated in the first year,and more than Rs5,00,00,000 is estimated by the third. Personnel costs less than Rs1,50,00,000 in the first year. It is expected that it will be profitable in the 1st year, with the net profits increasing every year.
.
Mission
Second Run's mission is to create a new theater experience for the customers that will be so enjoyable and satisfying that they will return often and recommend Second Run to their friends and family. Our customers will be delighted with our level of service, the quality of the food, and a theater environment that is second to none. When the film ends and the applause dies out, we believe that our customers would crave to watch a new movie at Second Run theater than to ever be squeezed into a Multiplex again.
Company Summary
Second Run Pizza is a unique place of its kind where certain movies which fared a bomb in the box office are re-released and it also provides a delightful platter of cuisines which never fail tempting customers and are very hard to resist. The huge expenses of the city will not treacle to the wonderful facilities of this resto-cum theater where customers will find a deluge of astonishing moments worth to write home about. All of these will be available at amazingly moderate prices and it is a fair wind from the daily chaos of the city where people of all age groups can come and enjoy an evening of glitters.

Industry profile:
This new company is based on two separate industries and derives the benefits from both of them.
One is the food industry, and another is the entertainment industry
The food industry is one of the most profitable industries in India as this is one industry which can never stay static and it always generates some amount of money. There are ample number of restaurants in the entire city of Bangalore and what distinguishes this from other restaurants is that the various quarters of other entertainment that it has in the offing.
Another is the entertainment industry which is also a flourishing industry. Entertainment industry has various cultural as well as fun elements which has the potential to hold onto the imagination of the people.

Small Scale Industry:
This business comes under the small scale perview with an approximate investment of Rs.1,50,00,000.
A small business, also called mom and pop store by some in the United States, is a business that is privately owned and operated, with a small number of employees and relatively low volume of sales. Small businesses are normally privately owned corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. The legal definition of "small" varies by country and by industry, ranging from fewer than 15 employees under the Australian Fair Work Act 2009, 50 employees in the European Union, and fewer than 500 employees to qualify for many U.S. Small Business Administration programs. Small businesses can also be classified according to other methods such as sales, assets, or net profits.
Small businesses are common in many countries, depending on the economic system in operation. Typical examples include: convenience stores, other small shops (such as a bakery or delicatessen),hairdressers, tradesmen, lawyers, accountants, restaurants, guest houses, photographers, small-scale manufacturing, and online business, such as web design and programming, etc.

Advantages of Small Scale Industries:
A small business can be started at a very low cost and on a part-time basis. Small business is also well suited to internet marketing because it can easily serve specialized niches, something that would have been more difficult prior to the internet revolution which began in the late 1990s. Adapting to change is crucial in business and particularly small business; not being tied to any bureaucratic inertia, it is typically easier to respond to the marketplace quickly. Small business proprietors tend to be intimate with their customers and clients which results in greater accountability and maturity.
Independence is another advantage of owning a small business. One survey of small business owners showed that 38% of those who left their jobs at other companies said their main reason for leaving was that they wanted to be their own bosses. Freedom to operate independently is a reward for small business owners. In addition, many people desire to make their own decisions, take their own risks, and reap the rewards of their efforts. Small business owners have the satisfaction of making their own decisions within the constraints imposed by economic and other environmental factors. However, entrepreneurs have to work very long hours and understand that ultimately their customers are their bosses.
Several organizations, in the United States, also provide help for the small business sector, such as the Internal Revenue Service's Small Business and Self-Employed One-Stop Resource.

Problems faced by small scale industries:
Small businesses often face a variety of problems related to their size. A frequent cause of bankruptcy is undercapitalization. This is often a result of poor planning rather than economic conditions - it is common rule of thumb that the entrepreneur should have access to a sum of money at least equal to the projected revenue for the first year of business in addition to his anticipated expenses. For example, if the prospective owner thinks that he will generate $100,000 in revenues in the first year with $150,000 in start-up expenses, then he should have no less than $250,000 available. Failure to provide this level of funding for the company could leave the owner liable for all of the company's debt should he end up in bankruptcy court, under the theory of undercapitalization.
In addition to ensuring that the business has enough capital, the small business owner must also be mindful of contribution margin (sales minus variable costs). To break even, the business must be able to reach a level of sales where the contribution margin equals fixed costs. When they first start out, many small business owners underprice their products to a point where even at their maximum capacity, it would be impossible to break even. Cost controls or price increases often resolve this problem.
Another problem for many small businesses is termed the 'Entrepreneurial Myth' or E-Myth. The mythic assumption is that an expert in a given technical field will also be expert at running that kind of business. Additional business management skills are needed to keep a business running smoothly.
Still another problem for many small businesses is the capacity of much larger businesses to influence or sometimes determine their chances for success.

Purpose of selecting
1)Selection of popular films that work best in the group viewing environment; i.e. comedies, scary or adventure films.
2)Provide exceptional service that leaves an impression.

5)Selection of popular films that work best in the group viewing environment; i.e. comedies, scary or adventure films.

Data Analysis

The questionnaire was distributed to twenty people and on the basis of their responses, it was concluded that the concept of a resto cum movie theater is not very popular among the respondents and steps should b taken to increase its familiarity among the people. It was found out that eight out of the twenty respondents were at ease with the concept of a resto cum movie theater which is about 40%.

Interpretation

We can interpret that this concept has a lot of opportunities in the offing since it is a relatively fresh and new concept and the respondents are more likely to take the initiative to enjoy new services. And since there are not much competitors left in the city of Bangalore in this field, profits are a thing of asurity.

The 4 P’s Of Marketng:

Product: A product is seen as an item which a consumer needs or wants. It is a tangible good or an intangible service which meets the needs and expectations of the customers.

In this case, the service is a resto cum movie theater(Second Run Pizza). It is a place where popular movies are re-released which allows the people to walk down the long memory lane and enjoy some sublime cuisines which will tempt them to come back, over and over again.

Price-It is the amount which the customer pays for the product. The price is very important for the service as it determines its profits and hence, the survival. Adjusting the price has a profound impact on the marketing strategy.

The general prices of this service will be kept low. There will be discounts in certain shows which are extremely popular and the morning shows will be moderately priced. A vintage movie will be screened every Sunday and for every morning show of these vintage classiscs, will be any pizza upto Rs.!00 absolutely free. The pinch in the pocket would be approximately about rs.50 -100 every beverage and about Rs.100-275 every pizza.

Promotion-It represents all of the methods of communication that a marketer may use to communicate information to all the parties about the product.

This service is not much popular among the respondents. Therefore certain promotional strategies should be adopted to make this service popular among the customers.

HUMAN RESOURCE
ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
Features
* Features of a theater company include an artistic director, who represents the vision of the company while the executive director manages the business end of the company. The ensemble is the core group of actors who work with the company. The company may also have a managing director who organizes finances.
Function
* A production usually begins in the imagination of the artistic director. The artistic director reads a play and wants to produce it. The play is brought to the executive director and the board of directors, or for smaller theatres the entire company. The artistic director and managing director choose a time frame for the production and start scheduling auditions, production meetings, rehearsals and performances. The executive director and managing director begin planning marketing, fundraising and budgeting.
Types
* Theatre companies structure their organizations diffeRently based on their needs; for example, a small company and a Broadway production have diffeRent needs and thus structure their organizations diffeRently. A standard theater company structure begins with a directorial head: an artistic director, producing director or executive director. The middle rung of the company's organization is balanced with business functionaries such as a managing director, marketing director or financial director, who work closely with the artistic staff on funding for a production. Below the second rung of decision makers are educational directors and production managers and finally the actors, resident directors, designers and stage managers. When a production is in rehearsal production managers, directors and stage managers take on major leadership roles.

PERSONNEL PLAN
As the personnel plan shows, we expect to invest in a good team, fairly compensated. We think the planned staff is in good proportion to the size of the restaurant and projected revenues.

Hangover Part 2

...The hangover 2: “It happened again”. The hangover has begun, oh yes it has. The tragic trashed trio have yet again repeated their actions from the first film, where they woke up in a chaotic Las Vegas suite with no memory of what happened the night before at all. But this time, they’d done even worse, and lost their friend Teddy, whose disappearance has totally broken his sister’s husband-to-be, Stu (Ed Helms). The wedding was to be in a couple of hours in one of the world’s amazing and exotic places, Thailand. Although Stu had decided to have a subdued bachelor party due to the unforgettable bash 2 years ago in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted to have a quiet bachelor party. However, this did not satisfy the boys, especially Phil(Bradley Cooper) and so instead, they have a buttoned up pre-wedding drink, and before they know it, they wake up totally demolished inside and out in Bangkok in a cruddy hotel with amnesia, AND with one member of the party missing which they only realise after checking up on their faces. However the worst has yet to come. They are all fully determined to find their friend Teddy although the circumstances are terrible and they have to meet with a series of humiliating disasters, and gross situations. Déjà vu has attacked them again, and what happened in Vegas was a total disaster, but what happens in Bangkok can’t possibly be...

Cannery Row

...! Prof. Laffont! ENC1101! Oct 9, 2014! ! Three Key Aspects in John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row Cannery Row was written by John Steinbeck in 1945. The story takes place in Monterey, California sometime between the Great Depression and World War II. The story is based on “his non-teleological acceptance of what ‘is,’ his ecological vision, and his own memories of a street and the people who made it home” (Shillinglaw vii). Steinbeck lived during the Great Depression and his experience affected the tone within the story. Steinbeck chose to write using third person narrative within the story which is an omniscient point of view- this allows the reader to know what the characters are thinking and feeling. The author wrote this story for the soldiers entertainment throughout battle. Steinbeck uses a unique style to construct this novel by periodically incorporating anecdotes and vignettes within the book, which allows the author to paint a overall picture in the reader’s mind of the reality of this time period. The major aspects within Cannery Row are loneliness, suicide and the development of characters. In the story Cannery Row, loneliness can be considered a major aspect of this book. Loneliness describes many of the characters in this narrative- especially the character Doc. Although Doc is much loved by his peers and has many friends, he is lonely. He spends most of his time listening to music on the phonograph. The text explains that “'He was a dark and lonesome looking man'...

Free College Essays-The Carbonaro Effect

...“The Carbonaro Effect” is a hidden camera television show where a magician, Michel Carbonaro, tricks unsuspecting, ordinary people. All of his performances occur in ordinary locations such as in stores, offices, or schools, and the people Carbonaro tricks are not aware that he is a magician. Carbonaro’s physics- and logic defying illusions produce hilarious reactions from his gullible targets. While Carbonaro’s illusions are certainly entertaining, I feel there is a damper on his magic since I am aware that I am only seeing illusions. However, much of the entertainment of the show comes from the incredulous reactions of subjects as they stand there wide eyed, and open mouthed, taking in the impossible scene they have just witnessed.

Adam and Truman

...Blast from the Past and The Truman Show both depict the story about men growing up in an artificial world. Since they are born, they live in a world that is created by others and they do not contact with the real world. However, both of the men in these two movies do not give up their dreams and they are determined. They are eager to get out of the present situation and they have a strong desire to live in the way they like. Finally, through their efforts, they shake off the shackles and both of them lead a free and happy life. Also, there is an interesting thing appears in both movies that the Christian image is mentioned. In Blast from the Past, each time Adam’s family ascent to the ground, the druggies who are religious acolytes are pious and reverent to them, thinking Adam’s family are Father and Son. In The Truman Show, after the vicious storm, Truman emerges from the water in a cruciform position which represents the Jesus after being tortured. Although the style of the two movies is similar, there are a lot of differences between them. First of all, Adam lives in a world full of love and what around him is the beautiful and positive aspect of life. Since he is born, his parents, who are the only person that he can contact with, tell him what the real world is. Moreover, his parents teach him dance, languages and sports. He learns from his parents to be modest, kind and a man of morality. Although his parents create an unreal world for Adam, they are not on...

Ed Gein

...Abnormal Psychology 2300 The Diagnosis of Edward Gein Rainy River Community College Delaney Peters 13 November 2013 Edward Theodore Gein was born to Augusta and George Gein on August 27th, 1906 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Edward had an older brother named Henry. George Gein was a violent alcoholic who was frequently unemployed. Augusta on the other hand followed to a different beat she was a very religious individual whom had very harsh opinions on other women. Often times, Augusta would refer to other woman as prostitutes and instruments of the devil. According to Dr. George Arndt, a psychiatrist that studied the case of Edward Gein, Augusta’s obsessive and negative perspective on women rubbed off on her children, more specifically on Edward. She reserved time every afternoon to read her children verses from the bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament dealing with death, murder and divine retribution. Without surprise, Edward himself became a target for bullies. Classmates and teachers recalled off-putting mannerisms, such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal jokes. Despite his poor social development, he did surprisingly well in school and was often viewed as an average academic student. Many sources cite that Edward’s mother Augusta often beat her children because she was convinced that they were going to become just like their father, a drunken failure...

...wants me to be real nice and sweet, and the other part wonders what her head would look like on a stick.” According to a recent study, five percent of Crane High school students have heard of this psychopath. This paper is based solely on the unbelievable yet intriguing crimes Ed Gein had committed when he was alive. He was a very unusual human, born on a farm and raised by a mother who was rather intimidating. In forty years his mother passed and he was left to take care of the farm all by himself. In the next few years he was to become a grave robber, a cannibal, a necrophiliac, and he took up arts and crafts in body parts. He is seen as probably the most weird and bizarre serial killer of the twentieth century, and probably...

Edward Gein and His Murders

...very violent. He never seemed to keep a job and the rest of the family ended up not wanting to live with George anymore. Divorce was not an option for Augusta and George because of their religious beliefs. Soon they left George. Augusta was running the family’s grocery store and when she saved enough money, she purchased an old farm in another town called Plainfield. She particularly liked this spot because it was secluded so there were very few outside influences on her sons. Edward only left home to go to school, where he was bullied because of a slight growth over one eye. Augusta did not allow him to have any friends. If Ed was not at school, he was doing chores for his mother. Augusta seemed to ‘press’ religion on her boys. She preached to them about alcohol and sex and many other things. She also read from the bible every day to Ed and Henry. In 1840, George Gein passed away and...

Title IX Gender Equality

...    On the day of June 23, 1972 Title IX of the Education Amendments was enacted by Congress and signed into law by United States President Richard Nixon. On this monumental day, women across the entire United States would no longer be discriminated on the basis of sex. Thirty-seven that would change everything, "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." This landmark federal statute was considered the most important step for gender equality since the right to vote given in the 19th Amendment.  Hawaii congresswoman, Patsy T. Mink worked tirelessly by taking a stand to change the rights of women receiving an education also the ability to play a sport they love.

Similarities Between The Lottery And The Truman Show

...The movie, “The Truman Show”, directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol. This movie was filmed in 1998 at the start of the technological boom, the year before the turn of the three zeros on all of the computers. “The Truman Show” is essentially a reality show that has depicted the life of Truman ever since he was born, but Truman has no idea it is happening. This is done with 5,000 hidden cameras throughout the world he lives in. There are two distinct readings that can be compared to this movie, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “The Lottery” while also containing three distinct fears for the people of that time, fear of people being influenced by the media, fear of technology taking over their lives, and finally that we are always being watched. This movie is a dystopia, while being best compared to the two dystopias, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “The Lottery”. “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” describes all the pleasure of society is based on the suffering of one person Some of them have come to see it, others are content merely to know it is there. They all know that it has to be there. Some of them understand why, and some do not, but they all understand that their happiness depends wholly on this child's abominable misery”. This compares exceedingly well with “The Truman Show” in that the pleasure of the TV viewers is based on the suffering of Truman “For God's sake, Chris! The whole world is watching. We can't let him die in front of a live...

Power And Authority In The Truman Show, Directed By Peter Weir

...One of the main themes of The Truman Show is power and authority. The director, Peter Weir is able to develop these themes by using techniques such as dialogue, setting, and characterisation. There is also the motif of Christof being like God which runs throughout the movie. Peter Weir uses dialogue to develop the theme of power and authority in The Truman Show. “Look at that sunset, Truman. It’s perfect … that’s the Big Guy. Quite a paintbrush he’s got.” This line is spoken to Truman by his best friend Marlon when Truman tells him that he wants to leave Seahaven. Marlon tries to convince Truman to stay by emphasising the beauty of Seahaven. He refers to ‘the Big Guy’, which is normally slang for God when he is actually talking about Christof. Through this quote, Weir is able to show the audience that Christof is so powerful that some of the characters liken him to God. Weir does this in another quote which is spoken by Christof when he introduces himself to Truman. “I am the creator … of a television series.” Christof adds “… of a television series,” after announcing to Truman that he is the creator. Peter Weir uses the slight pause to show the viewer that Christof himself has a God complex. The setting of the Lunar Room is another technique employed by Peter Weir to develop the themes of power and authority. The Lunar Room is Christof’s control room. It is called the Lunar Room because it is in what appears to be the moon in the sky of Seahaven. This room displays the power...

The field offices that we have in these states handle these contracts when they are in the field offices region. We recently decided that our office’s will open a facility in Kava were I will be meeting with another employee from a different office. I’ll do anything to get out of Chicago for the winter. I met up with Alex at the new field office in Kava. Alex informed me that opening this office was Chris’s idea. Cheap quality labor in Kava and this island exports a lot of different things that we can use back home. They export petroleum, coffee, spices, bananas and natural gas. Giving the contracts to the companies here on the island could be mutually beneficial. The contractors get big orders and can ship the entire product in a timely manner and do it cheaper even with the shipping costs then the contractors back in the states. There can be some pushback from the local government because they might feel like we are taking advantage. Having pushback from the government would be bad, it could hold up the process and it will dwindle whatever product we have in stock. We are trying to get Kava back on track.
