1.1 Business Opportunity
Brendan and Margaret Elliott have entered into negotiations to purchase a café business, called Café Paradiso, because of its great location in the Mountain Glen Shopping Centre with the highest number of passing shoppers which is supported by a large and growing local population. There are a limited number of cafés within the centre and with both Brendan’s and Margaret’s experience with having successfully operated and owned a number of cafes in Australia and overseas they will be able to increase their market share from 35% to 40% in 12 months.
The competitive advantages of the business are: location quality of food and service knowledge and experience of the industry available financial resources
1.2 Product/Service Offering
The main activity of the company is the operation of the Café Paradiso. Business activities include purchasing, storing, preparing, selling and serving our products to our valued customers. We expect to serve over 6,000 customers (‘dine in’ and ‘take away’) per month.
The Café is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Saturday and from 8:00am until midday on Sunday. The café comfortably seats 36 persons.
The mission of the business is to satisfy customers’ needs and wants for high quality coffee, delicious nutritious meals and excellent service. Our main point of differentiation from other cafes and coffee shops in the Centre is that one of the business owners is an internationally trained chef who will be able to produce fresh, light and healthy meals each day as well as develop new menu items to meet the changing needs and tastes of people who care about what they eat. The high quality coffee will target staff and shoppers in the Shopping Centre who enjoy good coffee that simply offers good value for
