5 2.

The equipment provided to Jedi Café s customers with high-speed connection to the Internet forms a large portion of the start-up costs. These costs will include computers, two laser printers and a scanner. Besides, the start-up costs will comprise the coffee machines such as one espresso machine, one automatic coffee grinder, and other additional equipment. The shop will also require funds for renovation and modification.

8 4. Market Analysis Jedi Café is facing the opportunity of being the pioneer in the Happy Valley cyber café market. The consistent popularity of coffee, combined with the growing interest in the Internet, has been proven to be a winning concept in other markets and will produce the same results in Happy Valley. 4.1 Market Segmentation Jedi Café s customers can be divided into two groups. The first group is familiar with the Internet and desires a progressive and inviting atmosphere where they can get out of their offices or bedrooms and enjoy a great cup of coffee. The second group is not familiar with the Internet, yet, and is just waiting for the right opportunity to enter the online community. Jedi Café s target market falls anywhere between the ages of 15 and 70. This extremely wide range of ages is due to the fact that both coffee and the Internet appeal to a variety of people. In addition to these two broad categories, Jedi Café s target market can be divided into more specific market segments. The majority of these individuals are students and business people. See the Market Analysis table below for more specifics. Market Analysis Potential Customers Growth University Students 4% 15,000 15,600 16,224 16,873 17,548 Office Workers 3% 25,000 25,750 26,523 27,319 28,139 Seniors 5% 18,500 19,425 20,396 21,416 22,487 Teenagers 2% 12,500 12,750 13,005 13,265 13,530 Others 0% 25,000 25,000 25,000 25,000 25,000 Total 2.68% 96,000 98, , , , Target Market Segment Strategy Jedi Café intends to cater to people who want a guided tour on their first spin around the Internet and to experienced users eager to indulge their passion for computers in a social setting. Furthermore, Jedi Café will be a magnet for local and traveling professionals who desire to work or check their messages in a friendly atmosphere. These professionals will either use Jedi Café s PCs, or plug their notebooks into Internet connections Market Trends A market survey was conducted recently with key questions asked to fifty 8
9 potential customers in Happy Valley. Some key findings include: 40 people said they enjoyed free access to the Internet. 44 subjects use the Internet to communicate with others on a daily basis Market Needs Factors such as current trends, addiction, and historical sales data ensure that the high demand for coffee and Internet access will remain constant over the next five years. Being the first cyber café in Happy Valley, Jedi Café will enjoy the pioneer advantages of name recognition and customer loyalty. Initially, Jedi Café will hold a 100 percent share of the cyber café market in Happy Valley. In the next five years, competitors will enter the market. Jedi Café has set a goal to maintain greater than a 50 percent market share. 4.3 Service Business Analysis The retail coffee industry in Happy Valley experienced rapid growth from the 1990 s and is now moving into the mature stage of its life cycle. Many factors contribute to the large demand for high-quality coffee in Happy Valley. The yuppies is a main source of demand for coffee retailers. The climate in Happy Valley is extremely favorable to coffee consumption. Current trends in this high-spending residential area reflect the popularity of fresh and strong coffee. Happy Valley is a haven for coffee lovers. The popularity of the Internet is growing exponentially. Those who are familiar with the Internet are well aware of how fun and addictive going online can be. Those who have not yet experienced with the Internet need a convenient, relaxed atmosphere where they can feel comfortable learning about and utilizing the current technologies. Jedi Café seeks to provide its customers with affordable Internet access in an innovative and supportive environment. Due to intense competition, café owners must look for ways to differentiate their place of business from others in order to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. The founder of Jedi Café realizes the need for differentiation and strongly believes that combining a café with complete Internet service is the key to success. The fact that no cyber cafés are established in Happy Valley, presents Jedi Café with a great opportunities to enter into a profitable niche in the market Competition and Buying Patterns The main competitors in the retail coffee segment within the same location are StarBugs and Cathay Coffee. These businesses target a similar segment to 9
10 Jedi Café s (i.e. educated, upwardly-mobile students and business people). However, Jedi Café will offer substantial computing services to its customers which these competitors are not providing at the moment Distributing a Service The dual product/service nature of Jedi Café s business faces competition on two levels. Jedi Café competes not only with coffee shops, but also with Internet service providers. The good news is that Jedi Café does not currently face any direct competition from other cyber cafés in the Happy Valley market. Heavy competition between coffee shops in Happy Valley creates an industry where all firms face the same costs. There is a positive relationship between price and quality of coffee. Some coffees retail at USD2.6/cup while other, more exotic beans may sell for as high as USD3.8/cup. Wholesalers sell beans to retailers at an average of a 50 percent discount. For example, a pound of Sumatran beans wholesales for USD9 and retails for USD18. And as in most industries, price decreases as volume increases. 10
11 5. Marketing Strategy Jedi Café will position itself as a stylish coffee house and Internet service provider. It will serve high-quality coffee and specialty beverages at competitive prices. Due to the number of cafés in Happy Valley, it is important that Jedi Café sets fair prices for its products. Jedi Café will use advertising as its main source of promotion. Ads placed in food magazines will help build customer awareness. Accompanying the ad will be a coupon for discounted coffee and nice bakeries. 5.1 Promotion Strategy Jedi Café will implement a pull strategy in order to build consumer awareness and demand. Initially, Jedi Café has budgeted USD6,410 for promotional efforts which will include advertising with food magazines and in-house promotions such as offering customers free drinks. Jedi Café realizes that in the future, when competition enters the market, additional revenues must be allocated for promotion in order to maintain market share. 5.2 Pricing Strategy Determining a fair market for cyber café is more difficult because there is no direct competition from another cyber café in Happy Valley. Therefore, Jedi Café has to base its prices for coffee and specialty drinks on the retail profit analysis provided by our supplier, Jenson Coffee, which has been in the coffee business for over 50 years and has developed a solid pricing strategy. 5.3 Sales Strategy As a retail establishment, Jedi Café employs people to handle sales transactions. Computer knowledge is a prerequisite for Jedi Café employees. If an employee does not possess basic computer skills when they are hired, they are trained by our full-time technician. Our full-time technician is also available for customers in need of assistance. Jedi Café s commitment to friendly, helpful service is one of the key factors that distinguishes itself from other cyber cafés. 5.4 Sales Forecast Cost of Sales: The cost of goods sold for coffee-related products was determined by the "retail profit analysis" we obtained from Jenson Coffee. The cost of bakery items is 20% of the selling price. The cost of Internet access is USD847 per month, paid to PC-Net for networking fees. 11

13 6. Management Summary Jedi Café is owned and operated by Mr. Obewon Kinobi. The company, being small in nature, requires a simple organizational structure. Implementation of this organizational form calls for the owner, Mr. Kinobi, to make all of the major management decisions in addition to monitoring all other business activities. Personnel Plan The staff will consist of six part-time employees working thirty hours a week at USD7 per hour. In addition, one full-time technician (who is more technologically oriented to handle minor terminal repairs/inquiries) will be employed to work forty hours a week at USD13 per hour. The other shareholder, Alex Skywalker, will not be included in management decisions. This simple structure provides a great deal of flexibility and allows communication to disperse quickly and directly. Because of these characteristics, there are few coordination problems seen at Jedi Café that are common within larger organizational chains. This strategy will enable Jedi Café to react quickly to changes in the market Total People USD USD USD Owner 30,770 33,847 37,231 Part Time 1 10,154 10,154 10,154 Part Time 2 10,154 10,154 10,154 Part Time 3 10,154 10,154 10,154 Part Time 4 10,154 10,154 10,154 Part Time 5 10,154 10,154 10,154 Part Time 6 5,077 10,154 10,154 Technician 27,861 30,647 33,711 Manager 5,129 30,770 33,847 Total Payroll 119, , ,713 13
