• Their target audience mainly included hotel guests and buffet lovers, with a specific focus on the Chinese demographic. 
• Since Kitchen on Kent opened recently, on August 25, 2019, there are still not a lot of reviews for the restaurant.
• However, people still seem to enjoy the restaurant, based on the few reviews it features.
• The restaurant is rated 4/5 on Tripadvisor with 27 reviews, 3.9/5 on Zomato after 21 reviews, and 4.3/5 on Open Table after 109 reviews.
• Most of the positive comments are directed at the ambiance, the food, and the service, with people saying things like "seafood was lovely and fresh", "the seafood, especially the lobsters, were sensational", "loved the fresh made-to-order sushi".
• The restaurant was also well-received by food critics, with many being pleasantly surprised by the quality and ambiance of the restaurant.
• However, many people were also saying that the value to price was not worth it, with comments such as "not worth this price" and "not really worth the penny", "a bit pricey."
• There were also a lot of negative comments about the hot section, with customers mainly expressing their disappointment about the limited selection of dishes.
• While the restaurant is still relatively new, they were still able to make about AUD 2.6 million in revenue but they still struggled to make the first several months profitable, closing the year at a AUD 576,414 loss. 
• The biggest difference between their predictions and the end-of-year reports seemed to come from the sales of drinks, where the difference was more than AUD 500,000.
• The restaurant seemed to be very popular during breakfast, most likely due to the lower prices, and least popular during lunches.
• Overall, we believe that while Kitchen on Kent has come up with a great idea, which is also supported by the positive reviews, it still holds risk, as seen from their financial data.
