The business our team has chosen to analysis, set up and create is a trendy jazz bar, located in the heart of Sydney. In order to analyse and build our establishment, we must research a variety of aspects that can harm or affect our business in any way.

It is vital that we keep up to date with what is going on around us. This means finding out the latest trends, discovering what people like and what makes them go back.
