Abstract :

The development of an Indonesia new national capital requires a significant workforce, with over 260,000 construction workers needed for the phase 1 construction between 2022 and 2024. To support this massive undertaking, PT. XYZ received an opportunity to provide catering services for 4,500 employees involved in building the nation’s capital, known as Katering Nusantara. Recognizing the potential of the catering industry as a stimulant for corporate growth, PT. XYZ expanded its product line, from only focusing on inflight catering to remote industrial catering. While the inflight catering business relies on flight availability and aviation infrastructure, the industrial catering segment offers more flexibility and opportunities for growth through participating in tenders at various factories across Indonesia. As part of the study, a financial feasibility analysis will be conducted to evaluate the investment in Katering Nusantara, considering factors such as investment costs and overall feasibility. Financial feasibility study conducted in this project to allow PT.XYZ assess the potential risk and return associated with the Katering Nusantara project. The investment of Katering Nusantara will cost Rp5,275,990,000 and will be funded using debt and equity. In the research reveal that the payback period 3.82 years, with a Net Present Value (NPV) of Rp. 11,647,468,485, a profitability index 2.21, and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 45%, which surpasses cost of capital 14.38%. This suggests that PT.XYZ should proceed with the implementation of the Katering Nusantara project. At the same time, it is important to note that the project’s financial performance is sensitive to changes in catering sales prices, emphasizing the need for cost optimization and alternative pricing strategies to mitigate potential fluctuations.
