The document discusses growth strategies for Porcini's, an Italian restaurant chain. It considers launching a new concept called Porcini's Pronto, targeting travelers. Three options for growing Pronto are evaluated: company owned-and-operated, franchising, and syndication. Company owned-and-operated is recommended as offering the highest long-term returns with least risk. A pilot test of 2 Pronto locations is suggested to determine the concept's potential before broader expansion.

16. Recommendations
MCA - McKinsey Case Competition 2011
How can Porcini grow their business at greater than 5%
annually through to 2018, in the domestic market?
1. Launch Porcini‟s Pronto concept
2. Grow via company owned-and-operated approach
3. Pilot to determine long run potential of the Pronto‟s concept

On this slide for growth options, I want to bring your attention to the cumulative profits each year. Compared to Syndicate, franchise, we are opening the minimum no of new restraunts in company owned model. Even with the conservative growth in terms of no of new restaurants, Company Own and Operate model offers the consistently high cumulative profits.For the same risk failure for syndicate, franchise and company own model,if we go with company own-n-operate model, we can potentially have the strongest bottomline primarily because of higher profit margins.Our assumptions here are very conservative. We have assumed that Pronto will grow at just 2.5% which is the growth rate in a saturated market. With the strongest bottom line despite minimum no of total restraurant , Based on quantitative approach, Pronto should be launched in company owned approach.
Since we are targeting a new segments which is not saturated, Pronto has higher potential to grow.Our base rate is the growth rate of full service in in-city and shopping malls, Given Porcini’s precise knowledge of customers, ability to maintain quality of food and service, we expect that Pronto has immense potential to grow beyond the industry average of 2.5% which reflects the growth rate of a saturated segment which would lead to higher profits.
