Introduction

Along with the Seattle Drive Inn, Cafe Rose will be housed. Due to the nearby companies, such as the country club whose customers are among the target clients, florists, gift shops, and malls, Seattle Drive Inn attracts reasonable footfall levels.

The new modern interior décor will make up Café Rose. This will deliver a contemporary class environment. The café will also be facing north; customers will therefore be able to see the outside sun and atmosphere. The glass panes which make up the wall will further encourage this.

Caesar salads, chicken burgers, and focaccias are Café Rose ‘s main food items. These, along with crepes and risottos, will be served. The menu will consist mainly of Mediterranean cooking. We’ll serve hot and cold drinks as well. However, alcoholic drinks at Café Rose will not be sold.

Profile of Business/ Idea

Company Overview

• Product Leasing: With the option of extension, the lease location lease will last for five years.
• Entity of Company: Café Rose will be a sole proprietorship. This means only one person will own it. This implies that the company and the owner are one, so the owner is responsible for any losses or debts incurred by Café Rose.
• Item Menu: The menu will be a café cuisine mixed with Mediterranean cuisine. As a consequence, the menu will draw consumers who are interested in coffee cuisines and who enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. New and high-quality food items will also be on sale on the menu. The majority of these will be prepared on request. The menu won’t be comprehensive. However, it will provide consumers with a large range of choices. This size of the menu would ensure low running costs and high profits. To avoid keeping the customers waiting, the menu items will be simple to prepare. It will integrate coffee and other hot drinks into the menu. This will improve the clients’ chances of purchasing hot drink accompaniments.
• Profitability: The profitability of Café Rose is based on;
  • Low/ affordable cost of the food items in the menu
  • Everything in the menu sells hence spread of the revenue to all menu items
• Vision: Our vision is to be the highest-rated and go-to café for customers and critics.

Strategy and Objectives

• Objectives
• Earn high profits
• Provide the best customer service
• Establish a strong customer base
• Create strong ties in the business community
• Improve consumer awareness of Café Rose brand and products offered Strategies
• This entails the steps to be taken to achieve the objectives

Financial Strategy

• Extended Opening Hours

The establishment will be operating on a 24-hour seven days a week basis. This will be made possible by working shifts for the employees. This will ensure that consumers can rely on the establishment to cater to their food needs any time of the day, and any day of the week. This will provide high sales, which in turn translates to increased profits.

Menu Improvement

The menu design will entail:

• Easy to understand the language
• Rounded prices of food items
• High-profit foods will be at the top and bottom of the menu
• Highlighted special menu items for sales increase
• This will help to increase the average spend per customer.

The Marketing Strategy

• • Customers: Customer research will be conducted to establish what customers want. This will be in the form of questionnaires. Feedback forms will also be issued to customers to give a rating of their experience with the offered products and services. They will also provide recommendations for improvement.
  • Competitors: There are various cafes along with the Seattle Drive Inn. These are the main competitors. To deal with competitions, we will conduct surveys to establish what the competitors are offering. We will improve our menu based on this. Since many competitors do not offer home and office deliveries, we will also utilize it to cover this customer base.
  • Promotion: There will be promotional days on specific menu items. When a customer buys one of the promotional menu items, they get another one for free. This will increase the number of customers and the average spend per head.
  • Website: A website for the establishment will be created. On this website, updates on new menu items will be posted. There will be photos of the various products offered to build brand awareness.
  • Advertisement: Advertisements will be put out in social media outlets. This is because social media marketing is cheap. This medium also offers access to many potential customers.

Pricing Strategies 

The pricing strategy will take into consideration the target market. In this case, we target the upper-middle class. The prices will be set based on the affordability of the items to the target market. It will also take into consideration the cost of production and the expected profit.

Due to our establishment’s standard of services, hygiene, and aesthetic view, our process will be slightly higher than that of our competitors. As a result, our prices will be set at 5% higher than those of our competitors.

Human Resource

Staffing: Employees will be hired based on the educational level in the relevant field. Experience is also a must.

Staff Feedback: Employees are an integral part of any organization. Therefore, their input is needed. We will have quarterly staff feedback forums whereby they will give their recommendations about the business.

Documentation of the Policies

HR will be responsible for documenting the policies of the establishment. This will guide the employees in conducting their work.

Ethical Considerations/ Social Responsibility: The ethical considerations in this case include;

• Proper waste disposal to avoid harm to the environment
• Fair treatment to the employees
• Creation of job opportunities for the host community

Disagreement That Could Occur

Since the business will be a sole proprietorship, disputes between partners are ruled out. However, other conflicts could occur between the suppliers, vendors and even employees. This includes;

• Poor performance by both employees and the suppliers
• Delayed payment

How to Solve These Disagreement

The best way to solve these disagreements would be to have one on one discussions about the way forward. This is because sometimes, the business environment is unpredictable. As a result, such scenarios are unavoidable. There is also a need to have a contract between the employees and the suppliers, stipulating what steps should be taken in case such disagreements occur.

In cases where the disagreements are not solved, legal action should be taken. This is to ensure that the due process of the law takes place.
