    Panera Bread Case Study

    The purpose of this paper is to study the Panera Bread Company, and do a case analysis based upon the reading’s from the book Marketing Management: Knowledge And Skills, Eleventh Edition by Donnelly, and Peter (2013), and The 5 C’s and Strategic Marketing Basics (2013) due Oct, 22 2013 for the (MKT 6013) Market Management class at the TACOM campus of Lawrence Technological University, MI. This case involves the study of the Panera Bread company, which is a highly successful company competing for customers in the casual fast food - quick service industry. Panera Bread is more of a “niche” player, offering a different type of menu fare designed to give the public a better dining experience, with higher quality food at slightly higher prices. Panera Bread’s marque menu products are their freshly baked specialty breads available in 22 different varieties. Furthermore, Panera Breads other menu items such as: signature sandwiches, café sandwiches, baked egg soufflés, soups, hand crafted salads, kid choices, and a wide variety of beverages (Donnelly, Peter 2013), allows Panera Bread to differentiates itself from other industry peers such as: KFC, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Yum! Brands, and Tim Horton’s (Value Line 2013), to name a few. Lastly, “Panera Bread’s distinctive menu, signature café design, inviting ambience, operating systems, and unit location strategy allowed it to compete successfully in five submarkets of the food-away-from-home industry: breakfast, lunch, daytime, “chill out time” and dinner” (Donnelly and Peter, p. 299).…

    Cafe de Coral

    As Mr. Michael Chan, Chairman and CEO of the Café de Coral group, thought about the directions his company should take, he felt a bit uncertain. The company, clearly the most popular Chinese Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) in Hong Kong and a local success, had just celebrated twenty years as a public company. This success and longevity in the cut-throat world of fast food was remarkable, but Mr. Chan did not want the company to rest on its laurels. At his meeting this afternoon with senior management, Mr. Chan planned to suggest that the company needed to move outside of Hong Kong and follow a much more aggressive plan than it had followed when it had moved slowly into China (with both Café de Coral outlets in neighboring Guangdong Province and recently New Asia Dabao in Shanghai) and also into North America (by buying into and then purchasing outright the Manchu Wok chain) over the last several years. He knew that the company needed a very clear globalization strategy in order to move to the next level of growth and to find sustainable growth opportunities away from Hong Kong. Mr. Chan had no clear plan at this point and he needed input from his managers and the Board. Mr. Chan reflected on how Café de Coral was a household name in Hong Kong and was the most popular QSR in its home market. The company dominated the market in Hong Kong and continuously improved its brand image through innovations in food preparation at its centralized food processing and distribution centers in Hong Kong and across the border in Guangdong. It also had perfected methods of offering large menus (up to 150 items) that changed four times over the course of every day with different items added and other items taken off the menu two to three times a week to provide variety as well as fresh and delicious food in a quick-serve environment to its huge and discerning customer base.…
