Traditional Home-Style Restaurant (THSR)
THSR currently has two restaurants in the Klang Valley catering for the local
Chinese and Indian vegetarian population. Besides catering for in-house
customers, THSR also does catering services for functions and events. Its
catering services caters for both small and large functions, with orders
for 50 to 1,000 pax. While the restaurant has become a household name
amongst vegetarians, it is becoming challenging for the owner, Ryden, to
sustain the quality of the food. This is mainly because of the high turnover
of the kitchen staff (chefs) at THSR. Consequently, the quality of the food
has not been consistent, resulting in declining sales.
THSR has an effective front desk team who are courteous and provide
efficient service. Nevertheless, the customer numbers have been falling
in the past year. The average sales per day has fallen from RM2,000 to
RM1,200. All in-house sales are on cash only basis. However, from his
event catering services he collects a deposit and the balance is collected
within five working days. Ryden is concerned and worried about future
commitments and the financial challenges of continuing the restaurant
business. He is, however, not ready to close down the restaurants. Ryden
is keen to sell 50% of his share interest in THSR.
Ryden has valued his current business at RM150,000. However,
Sandhya feels that the business is overvalued. Moreover, she is unsure
whether to acquire one of Ryden's restaurants or to consider a strategic
alliance with THSR.

Village Fusion is a relatively small semi-fine-dining restaurant located in
the Klang Valley. The business is doing very well and on average the daily
turnover is around RM3,000. This restaurant caters food to a number of otfices
located around the restaurant. However, this service only operates for 25
working days in a month. The payment for this services is collected from the
companies at the end of each month. Hence, 20% of monthly sales is on credit.
Nathan, the restaurant owner, is getting old and is looking for a partner who
will be able to manage the daily operations of the restaurant. He is keen to go
on semi-retirement and wants to sell 50% of his business shares to the right
investor. He is very conservative and wants to maintain the natural healthy
eating vegetarian concept. Nathan values his current business at RM200,000.
Nathan is an experienced accountant and therefore he has operated a
very conservative policy in respect of the management of the restaurant's
working capital and daily operational costs. He ensures that - there is
no wastage of food at the end of each working day. He assembles the
information about the company's forecast end-of-year financial outcomes.
