Through this approach, the restaurant has a clear competitive advantage that is reflected in this unique service and offer for those affected. The restaurant is run in the legal form of a GBR. Low form requirements and the corresponding design friendliness are the main advantages of this legal form, which make it possible to make adjustments and changes afterwards.
With the provision of 30,000 euros in equity in the company, in the first year 2018 a further demand of 60,000 euros is left, which is to be covered by a loan. When searching for a suitable location, the city of Stuttgart is a choice that fully meets the requirements for such a restaurant.

Due to the high competition in the gastronomy sector and the initial unfamiliarity, the market penetration in the introductory phase is to be carried out on the basis of the strategy of fast market exhaustion. One of the main tasks of the company is the formation of a trust relationship with the targeted customer base.
