Financial For (for xampl) potntial rduction in costs if staff is abl to us nw quipmnt to work mor fficintly. This will incras profit and rturn to th ownr(s) of Eat! Against (for xampl) th upgrad may xcd th stimatd $ bcaus of unforsn / unxpctd costs in complting th rnovation.

Th nw upgrad or intrior dcoration may put old rgulars off and it may tak som tim bfor nw customrs gt to har of th nw, trndir plac. This will ngativly impact on profitability.

If not, would thy b put off by othrs doing so? This information could b usd to dtrmin th likly impact on th markt currntly srvd by th rstaurant th chf would hav to rsarch rcips othr than th Oaty Dog Trats that could b usd to srv dogs, and how this food would b stord in th kitchn. This would b important, as managmnt would not want th srving of a K9 Mnu to caus problms and intrfr with providing a top-rat lunch and dinnr mnu to th paying customrs. For vidnc must includ an xampl of NON-FINANIAL information. (b) Exampls of possibl suggstions includ: th chf at Eat! would nd to includ ingrdints for th Oaty Dog Trats in his raw matrials budgt th chf at Eat! would nd to nsur that raw matrials wr purchasd at th corrct tim and quantitis on hand to guarant mting th nd of th dogs th chf at Eat! would nd to produc a production schdul in units of product, dtailing what would nd to b prpard and whn.

Rasons must b supportd by figurs whr applicabl for Vf. Th argumnt must b consistnt throughout candidat vidnc, i if th option chosn is to go ahad with th K9 mnu, th argumnt must b FOR th K9 mnu. Financial For (for xampl) Eat! currntly slls blow brak-vn quantity of coffs basd on a ngativ margin of safty. Th introduction of a K9 Mnu may ncourag nw customrs for th croissant and coff option in th café. th upgrad is alrady causing th café to go into ovrdraft. For possibly littl xtra cost, nw customrs could b ncouragd to visit, incrasing profit margins and hlping pay off th bank ovrdraft and loan. Vf Against (for xampl) th upgrad is alrady causing th café to go into ovrdraft. Th additional costs of introducing a K9 Mnu may caus Eat! to go furthr into ovrdraft, and managmnt may nd to incras th amount of th loan borrowd. it is actually dinnr that brings in th significant cash flow for Eat! Th café nds to incras occupancy rats in th vning. It is unlikly that th K9 Mnu would ncourag popl to bring thir dogs with thm in th vning. It is most probabl that customrs will bring thir dogs with thm at lunchtim, as this may b mor convnint. Non-Financial For (for xampl) introducing th K9 Mnu at th sam tim as th upgrad would allow for mor stratgic advrtising. This would includ a dscription of th nw-look café, and includ th othr nw and xciting options of bing abl to bring your small dog to lunch with you. It would cmnt in currnt and potntial customrs th nw and improvd imag of th café. Eat! gains accss to a nw markt of dog-owning customrs who will bring thir canin companions with thm to th café (as thy do in Europan countris). Vn Against (for xampl) som popl will not at in a plac whr animals ar fd (or thy ar frightnd of dogs), causing a chang in th clintl for th café which could rduc thir markt shar. it may b difficult to attract th bst staff, bcaus thy may not want to work in a café whr thy could b bittn, or hav to clan up aftr dogs. thr will b additional halth and safty rquirmnts for th café to obtain and maintain a currnt licns to supply food to th public. This will rquir xtra work and costs for managmnt.
