Business Model

Business Model
            After carefully comparing existing options of business models, we decide to choose the Professional open-source model combined with Subscription business model. First, as stated before, we divide our target customer group into two parts, the potential employees and the employers.  By using professional open-source model, we give the owners and managers of a restaurant a basic function that may not be different from our competitor’s product but has a more user friendly interface, easier user instruction guide, more reliable and faster. We will not charge any money for the basic functions of this system, which means the users can simply create a user account and download it to their local computers for free. However, once they think this system is useful for their business and they want to try the premium functions after reviewing the instruction on our website. They can make a payment for the advantaged functions and pay monthly fee as well as upgrade fee. In addition, we may also consider a super-premium or a VIP program to our customers to provide them with in person installation and real time customer support.
            On the other side, the potential employers in the local labor market can also use our system to help them find favorable restaurant jobs in the local community. But we have to charge them the subscription fee either through cell phone message or phone applications. They can simply download an application to their cell phone can we can update them with all possible positions that local restaurant owners posted on our site. Also, they can go to our website, and by finishing some customer performance survey, they are eligible to use the job searching system. And once they registered in the system, the potential employee’s information will be automatically transferred to a centralized database for the employer to view and select.
