The business idea

In this case, the business idea that I have selected is to open up a business that will be a fast food restaurant. The purpose of the restaurant is to offer fast food services to the working community. The business aims to get to the level of McDonald’s, KFC, and even Pizza Hut by the time the business will be around 20 years old.
