Executive Summary
Opportunity
Problem
This Coffee shop will fix the problem of not having anywhere to go to enjoy an amazing
cup of coffee and be expressive of who they are with poetry nights, local bands playing,
coffee and canvas nights and much more.
Solution
With this business young people of the community may become more involved and be
able to express theirselves. Immortal Caf offers quality drinks and food for a great
price. Each drink will be consistent with taste and quality by using the freshest
ingredients and the best staff.
Market
With what our business will provide there will be a good mix of customers between
adults and teenagers. The adults will most likely drop in for a coffee and go while the
young adults and teenagers will stay to relax and enjoy the events taking place.
Competition
The competition located in the area of my business would be Starbucks. The Starbucks
is a nice place to go to hangout but it does not have events or gets people involved with
the community.
Why Us?
The owner of this company has great skill in the business world and a passion for the
world of cafes. The team here at Immortal Caf wants to provide you with the best
customer service making you feel at home and happy when you come in. We take pride
in making the best cup of coffee, specialty drinks, and our caf treats.
Expectations
Forecast
In the first year the expected net profit will be around $70,000. As the years go on the
business should make more profit each year.
Financing Needed
I plan on funding this business with the money I have saved up along with a loan from
the bank.
Opportunity
Problem & Solution
Problem Worth Solving
This coffee shop will fix the problem of not having a anywhere to go to enjoy an
amazing cup of coffee and be expressive of who they are with poetry nights, local bands
playing, coffee and canvas nights and much more. Expressing ones self is very
important in order to become the person they want to become and this coffee shop
offers a safe environment for every type of person.
Our Solution
With this business young people of the community may become more involved with
their community and be able to express their selves. Immortal Caf offers quality drinks
and food for a great price. Each drink will be consistent with taste and quality by using
the freshest ingredients and the best staff. We will offer many activities for people to
express themselves whether they are young or older.
Target Market
With what our business will provide there will be a good mix of customers ranging
from adults to teenagers. The adults will most likely drop in for a coffee and go while
the young adults and teenagers will stay to relax and enjoy the events taking
place. Using stereotype names I can see a range of the young adults and teenagers being
anywhere from hipster, to emo, to preppy. Everyone is welcome to come express who
they are in a creative manner.
Competition
Current Alternatives
The only competition would be the two Starbucks located in the town. Starbucks is a
very well known coffee shop and the offer a range of drinks and some food. The reason
customers might choose them is because they are already known.
Our Advantages
The Immortal Caf is better because it is family owned and treats employees and
customer amazing. We have very good drinks and the food is made right there fresh
not from the freezer put into a microwave oven. Not only do we have those advantages
we will also have a very comfortable lounge area and events going on.
Execution
Marketing & Sales
Marketing Plan
For the size of my business I believe five different types of advertising will work
wonders. The first being my own website which will include the location, a menu, and a
calendar of the events going on during that month. The next form of marketing will be
on social media; the business will have an account on both Instagram and Facebook.
The reason for this is to keep people updated on our events and even see what our food
looks like. We will advertise in other stores because we want to be very community
involved and we will advertise other businesses in ours. Advertising in some print
seems like a good idea for people who read the newspaper. The last marketing plan is
to attend trades show and sponsor local events.
Sales Plan
We will sell directly from the coffee shop; and we will accept forms of payment through
cash, gift card, or debit/credit cards. Catering services will be another way to get our
products out there. There may be online purchases of gift cards if someone from out of
town would like to purchase one as a gift for someone else. The last form of sales would
be online purchases of our tshirts and mugs.
Operations
Locations & Facilities
Our location will be on one of the mains road in the town which will results in high
foot traffic. This is very important for our marketing because people will be in town
doing their other shopping and wanna stop in for some coffee.
Technology
For this business we will need a point-of-sale system to take payments, an e-commerce
engine for our website, and a type of system to keep track of our sales.
The equipment our business would need would be an espresso machine, water softener
and filtration machine, an coffee grinder, a coffee brewer, a blending station, and a milk
steamer.
Introduce new shirts and March 15, 2018 Owner On all marketing
coffee cups for sale strategies but mostly on
social media and in store.
Key Metrics
The main metric that will be closely watched is making sure enough profit is coming in
because small businesses close very quickly due to money losses. The next will be the
amount of returning customers and receiving the feelings of those customers on their
experience.
Company
Overview
I, Sarah Riddle, will be owning the Immortal Caf which will be a sole proprietorship.
Team
Management
I have learned many skills about owning a business in my classes at South Western
Oregon Community College. I will graduate with my associates degree in business
management/entrepreneurship in June of 2017. I will have an internship at a local coffee
shop which is very similar to what I want to own which I believe will be an amazing
experience for learning how it runs.
Advisors
I have a few individuals who will be great help if I ever need it for my small business.
The first person is my Uncle Jack who currently owns the successful business of
IMAGEX. My Uncle Jack is very knowledgeable in the business world and is very
supportive of my plans. The next two people are my other two uncles Jim and Mike.
Both of these Uncles have owned their own businesses as well; one a restaurant and one
a massage school. The last people that I think would be great help would be my
professors Jessica Engelke and Linda Stagg-Brown.
Financial Plan
Forecast
Key Assumptions
I came up with these numbers by researching other small businesses and by best
guessing from what I have learned my college courses.
