Most business minds and banking professionals probably all agree that $S% of all restaurants will not succeed. They base this prognosis on facts founded in the failure of the owner's ability to separate facts and reality from emotional decisions. Anthony's Chophouse and 3up while typical in providing food and beverage as its goods sold, has based its business model and operation process on how other restaurants have succeeded and not particularly on why others have failed. Much research, financial conservatism, and realistic projections show that restaurants can succeed if they incorporate the basic principles of business management, marketing awareness, and the ability to determine what drives this multibillion dollar sector of the economy. While all successful restaurants commonly offer their customers quality food, beverage, and service amenities, these qualities pale in comparison to offering potential patrons a unique total dining experience that not only creates positive word of mouth, but keeps them returning time and again. This total dining experience in its simplest form incorporates foremost a location that invites the restaurants target market, and then captures the essence of unique physical design and an entertainment factor that make the experience complete. Fine food choices, quality beverage and wine selections, and impeccable service complete the customer experience. Anthony's Chophouse and Sup will be located in the most popular and trend forward arts and design district of Carmel, Indiana. This bustling area lends itself to the exact target market Anthony's attempts to reach. Dissecting the heart of this popular gathering area is the Monon Greenway; a walking and riding belt that stretches 16 miles in total. The collective ambiance and popularity of these amenities make the location of Anthony's one of the most sought after properties in the Indianapolis area. Imagine a New York style city park with green amenities in an otherwise sea of concrete, a beautiful and stylish restaurant design with ample parking and tremendous curb appeal located on the parks edge, a heavily traveled walking trail striding adjacent through the park and outside eating area of the restaurant, and topping this all off with exquisite food and beverage offerings, service second to none, and entertainment long lost in the restaurant environment. Welcome to Anthony's Chophouse and 3up, In developing a successful business model, Anthony's has paid particular attention to not only what the customer's expectations are in this segment of the industry but most importantly how to financially succeed by using the most conservative financial projections that are far lower than five of the most successful high end restaurants considered direct competition. With the extended knowledge and experience of long term family members in the business; no stone has been left unturned in the operational, financial, and quality controls of this business. With this expertise and advice, endless research and development, the most desirable and unique location and concept, and a realistic business viewpoint, Anthony's will be poised for fast paced growth and success. 3up Elevated Cocktails and Scullery, a swanky rooftop all glass drinking and eating experience, offers the best in unparalleled experiences.
