SUMMARY
The Business – to deliver basically sandwiches and rolls directly to people at their workplace and to wholesale to outlets such as petrol stations.
The proposal seeks to take advantage of an unexploited gap in the market with the relatively new concept of food delivery, which can be seen to work well elsewhere. The business requires relatively little capital, overheads are minimal, and the margins and cash flow are good with increasing econonomies of scale.
The market – generally more people are eating just a snack at lunch time and sandwiches fill this gap be being cheap and nutritious.
The Bicester area is relatively prosperous and has a growing light industrial and service sector.
Market response to the business idea was excellent and most potential was identified on the industrial estates and with the garages because of the lack of competition due to their geographic isolation and denser concentration of customers.
The main competition identified was home packed lunches and sandwich outlets in the town centre.
Production – to maximise selling time, sandwiches will be prepared in the evening and delivery will commence at 8.00am.
Ownership – sole
