4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Strategically, targeting the 30-44 year old age range in upper middle class areas close to ourrestaurant helps serve the needs and requirements of our customers, and ties in logically withour marketing plan (see Marketing Plan) and style of restaurant. Typically, the upper middle classin the 30-44 range are raising families whose children range from toddlers to teens, yet tend tocontinue to have "disposable" dollars available for a quality diversion (such as Fire Fountain Grille)to get them away from home and work. These customers have regimented schedules in theirlives, and find value in exceptional service, timely service, and mouth watering, delightful food. Ifa couple chooses to leave the kids home, they'll find value in the form of satisfaction and funtogether, in their diversionary time. If they bring the kids, they will appreciate a value based kidsmenu. This first tier of our market segment, is also the primary focus of our marketing plan(see Marketing Plan), which has a deep commitment to focusing on kids, at their schools and intheir community. These kids are primarily the children of our 30-44 tier-one group. Industryresearch (Nation's Restaurant News®) has shown that the 30-44 age group appreciatessteaks, chops, chicken and seafood dishes prepared with lightly seasoned recipes, which is aperfect fit for Fire Fountain Grille.

Our SECOND-TIER market group (45-59 / $55,000 - $ 80,000), will also find value in greatservice, and delicious food, and will appreciate a restaurant with a much better wine list thanwhat is normally available in the upscale casual dining niche. Fire Fountain Grille will also beconsidered a refreshing escape from restaurants that sing and clap for birthdays.

Our THIRD-TIER group, the 21-29 year olds will find that the menu contains many favoritesavailable to them that are considered essential: tantalizing appetizers, spicy steaks, andhundreds of cocktails and specialty beers. The Fire Fountain turns down the lights for latehour business on the weekends, and offers jazz and food and beverage specials, offering ourcustomers a chance for some socializing and conversation.

FOURTH-TIER simply extends the market radius out to a five mile area, with the samedemographics included in tiers 1-3.

FIFTH-TIER (60+ / $65,000+), represents a market that has abundant disposable income, andtruly reveres attentive, efficient service. Fire Fountain Grille serves all of its meals with theoption of cooking with little or no spices. This customization is much more appreciated by thisgroup, who often prefer meals prepared to their own specifications. Because Fire FountainGrille has only one purpose in mind when it comes to our customers – All Customers MustLeave Happy, customizing a meal to our treasured customers will always be a pleasure!

The SIXTH-TIER group will benefit from all of the quality approaches that are marketed to theprevious five tiers, and will gain exposure to us primarily through our community involvementand word-of-mouth.

4.2.1 Market Trends

The trends in the Starburstville Metro market rely heavily on visual appeal, and locations. Mostrestaurants overlook targeting kids as a way to market to the parents. The Fire Fountain Grilledoes not seek to market to kids to get them to eat at our restaurant, but rather as a way to gettheir parents to eat there.

Page 18: Fire Fountain Grille

The Fire Fountain Grille

Page 14

4.2.2 Market Growth

Steak restaurants comprise less than 5% of the total restaurant market. Service orientedsteak houses have room to grow. Meat and potatoes is still what Americans want, and theywant it with good service.

4.2.3 Market Needs

The market suffers from a lack of service oriented restaurants. The market needs a restaurantthat values the customer as its number one priority.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

All restaurants combined, from fast food to fine dining, show an average bottom line profit of 3-10%. Margins are much better in full service restaurants with good management, good staff,good concepts, good menus and wine lists, good location and good financial controls. A fullservice steakhouse with all of these factors should show a bottom line profit of 13% - 25%.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

The general nature of competition in this business, and how the customers seem to chooseone provider over another can be measured by customer loyalty and positive word of mouth.Customer loyalty and brand preference come from developing a trust between the customerand the business. To be successful in the hospitality business, one must truly believe in, andalways apply, the fundamental meaning of hospitality, which simply stated is, one must alwaysbe hospitable, and the customer must truly be made to feel welcome and cared for. The trustthat a customer feels, is based upon the business' ability to recognize what it takes to pleasea customer, and then is built upon by continuously delivering to that customer at, or above,the level of expectation that the customer expects. Fire Fountain Grille has carefully selecteda management team that has been specially trained in the high art of exceptional customerservice. The screening, hiring and training standards for front-of-the house staff are thehighest in the industry.

The level of attention and care that our staff bestows upon our customers sets us far above ourcompetition. Fire Fountain Grille also has extremely high standards for professionalism in thekitchen. Cleanliness, freshness of ingredients, adherence to recipe and cooking standards, andefficiency are constantly applied. Prices are reasonable, and are perceived as being anexceptional value. Fire Fountain Grille offers extremely delicious steaks, tantalizing chickendishes, savory grilled seafoods, tender prime rib, fresh salads, sensational appetizers, temptingdesserts and refreshing beverages. All of this can be found in an environment with an ambiencethat is unusual, and very comfortable. Our signature "Fire Fountain" fills the restaurant with anexciting glow, and the soothing sounds of falling water. The seating is almost all privatebooths, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort.

The Fire Fountain Grille is conveniently located on a highly visible ingress near a successfulmall. The restaurant has a huge, secure parking lot, excellent ingress and egress, and a beautifuland highly noticeable exterior. This area has other restaurants, which is a definite plus for us.This allows us to capitalize on a positive "clustering" effect, and works well with our marketing

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Emphasize service

We will differentiate ourselves with SERVICE! We will establish our business offering as a clearand viable alternative for our target market, from the scores of "rubber chicken", frozen food,and "Happy Birthday singing" restaurant chains.Build a relationship-oriented business

Build long-term relationships with customers, not single-visit deals. Become their restaurantand destination of choice. Make them understand the value of the relationship.

Focus on target markets

We need to focus our offerings on specific population groups as the key market segment weshould own. We do not want to compete for the buyers who go to fast food or "microwavefrozen foods" types of "restaurants. We definitely want to be able to sell to smart, qualityconscious customers.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Clearly, our competitive edge is the customer service experience and approach that ourmanagement team will bring to the table. Our smiling, unassuming and good natured approachto all of our customers is evident, and highly appreciated. Our recipes are delicious, and theportions are large. The foods are fresh and satisfying, and the drinks are fulfilling and refreshing.

showcase events, to be held at the Fire Fountain Grille.9. High profile interaction between our managers, and the customers.

10. Excellent service and high food quality every single day in the restaurant.

5.2.4 Marketing Programs

Children's tours will be an ongoing program that has proven to work over and over again. Thekids are brought to the restaurant by teachers or parents, in groups of no more than 25, and aregreeted at the door by our manager. They all go inside and are seated near the Fire Fountainwhere they are told a cool short story. They then are taken on a tour of the store and kitchenand get to go inside of a giant refrigerator, and see some cool cooks doing their thing. Theneveryone is seated for a free lunch of "Chicken Toes" or "Hot Doggies" and soda pop. Everybodytalks a little about restaurants and other neat stuff. When its time to say goodbye, we takepictures and everybody gets an appetizer or dessert card, and some promotional menus. Whenthe kids come back with their parents, we address the kids by their first names and treat themspecial.

5.3 Sales Strategy

We require our servers to have a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the menus,ingredients and methods of preparation of all of our foods and beverages. We train our staff toalways describe and recommend items, even to regular customers, and to always upsell. The keyto a server's success in upselling is the realization that it almost always brings in better tipsbecause the checks are higher.

GIFT CERTIFICATES

The Fire Fountain Grille will aggressively sell gift certificates. The strategy behind giftcertificate sales is simple and proven. Most GC sales occur during the holidays. Most GC's arethen redeemed in the post holiday months of January and February, helping drive sales in thosetraditionally slower months.

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

The first month sales will open strongly, because of the advance buzz created by our pre-opening marketing, and our Grand Opening Festivities. Sales will drop off slightly as we begin tosort out our operational patterns. September is a slower month for restaurants. October andNovember see sales begin to build as we continue with our marketing, and relentless quality.December sees a sharp spike upward as the Holidays are in full swing. A typical week for the firstsix months will look like this (conservative estimate):

Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Total Sales

$8,500 $4,000 $4,000 $5,500 $7,000 $9,500 $11,500 $50,000

Years 2005 - 2008 will see an 8% annual increase. Costs will be higher during the start-up months.

5.5 Milestones

Each function is timed to coincide with theproper execution and time needed to complete each task. Each Managing Partner has specificduties assigned specifically to his area of expertise.

8.0 Financial Plan

Our main concerns will be aggressive time management, so that our labor costs stay undercontrol, and proper purchasing, prep and food handling to keep food costs down, as well asmanaging the higher costs of meats and seafoods. Secondarily, hiring the best grill and broilercooks, training them properly and retaining them will be a critical component to good meat andseafood costs. A good grill cook does not waste steaks by burning them, nor does he angercustomers by undercooking them. He must also be accurate time after time in how he carveshis prime rib.

Growth will be sustained through a contribution to an expansion fund, and potential investmentfrom current investors in a "roll-over" plan, and from potential future investors or bank capital.

8.1 Start-up Funding

We are seeking $900,000 (see section 2.2 "Start-up Summary"), and will seek it from one, two,or three investment groups, or under an SEC "Regulation D" equity offering (where thecompany sells partial ownership in the company - via the sale of stock or a membership unit, toraise capital). We prefer this approach as an early stage company because there is no setrepayment schedule or debt service payments - the investors profit when the company profits.Initially, the company is projected as a Limited Partnership, but may switch the preferredstructure to a stock "C" Corporation or Limited Liability Corporation "LLC". The preparation ofthe investment documents will be handled in a cooperative effort by the legal firmsrepresenting each party individually. These documents will include, but are not limited to:

Private Placement Memorandum

The Private Placement Memorandum, or "PPM", is the document that disc loses all pertinentinformation to the investors about the company, proposed company operations, thetransaction structure (whether we are selling equity ownership or raising debt financing fromthe investors), the terms of the investment (share price, note amounts, maturity dates, etc.),risks the investors may face, etc.

Form D SEC Filing

It notifies the SEC that we are using the Regulation D program and provides them basicinformation on the company and the offering. It is not an approval document or registration - itis merely a filing that notifies the SEC that we have a Regulation D Offering in place. Raisingcapital from investors without filing this document with the Federal government could place acompany in violation of securities laws.

Subscription Agreement

The Subscription Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the investment. It is the"sales contract" for purchasing the securities.

Promissory NoteFor a debt offering (if necessary), outlining the terms of any loan arrangement with the

Page 29: Fire Fountain Grille

investors. The note is the actual "loan document" between the company and the investor.
