bargaining power
over the

However if there
are ample suppliers
then the companies
are able to choose.
Competition/ Rivalry

Existing FF restaurants
serving different types of
fast food.
Substitutes
Increased ‘pub’
restaurants which are

that they can now
demand value for
money and have
bargaining power.

food & service and value for money
The Future

market to target
The Future

internet
•A “gap” in the children’s vegetarian
market
