Break-Even Calculation

The break-even value will indicate the point at which the business cost balances with its revenues.

Break-Even point = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin

Fixed costs=1600+6000=7600

Contribution margin= sales cost per unit-variable cost per unit

The units projected to be sold in one day is 450 units

The units projected to be produced in one day are 500 units

Sales cost per unit = 190000/450

  = 4222.2

Variable cost per day =98600/500

  =197.2

Breakeven​​ point=7600/(4222.2-197)

  = 1.8882

Conclusion

The​​ business; for instance, the​​ Yummy café​​ is set to be​​ launched​​ in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The place is​​ strategic​​ because it has a diverse population that can​​ assist in the provision​​ of the market utility. The business intends to provide high-quality meals, ranging from Saudi Arabia delicious meals like Hummus and foreign meals like chicken salad to satisfy a large geographical range of customers.​​ The café will also provide an ambient environment, where, individuals can enjoy various meals like​​ breakfast, lunch,​​ and supper with friends, family members,​​ and​​ colleagues.​​ Other services include takeaway services, where a customer does not temporarily​​ require​​ taking​​ meals inside the café.

The café is predicted to have a significant growth because there is​​ a rapid growth of​​ the hospitality and hotel industries in Saudi Arabia.​​ The growth is stimulated by technology​​ and​​ an increase in digital strategies of marketing like​​ the use of social media to​​ advertise​​ products and the domestic workforce​​ increase. Besides, technological changes will impact​​ the communication with customers positively, hence building a substantial relationship with customers who will assist in building the business public image indirectly.​​ Consequently, the​​ government regulations will have either a positive or a negative influence on the​​ business. For instance, consumer spending will reduce and more borrowing encouraged when the government hikes interest rates.​​ Contrary, the business will have more investments that​​ encourage​​ its growth when interest rates are​​ lower.

The main targeted customers of the yummy café are the foreign customers, who may be​​ musicians, footballers, and tourists from the​​ neighbouring​​ nations or the local customers within Saudi Arabia; for instance, the political leaders, university students, investors,​​ etc.​​ The business will have the role of protecting its employees and customers and therefore, it will apply for​​ insurance cover that protects the business against emergencies like fire outbreaks.​​ ​​
