Business Plan
Technopreneurship
The “Da BestMilk Tea” app is used mainly for customer transations regarding the orders.
This provides services that are not constrained with factors like products only available during
business hours.
The advantages of using app for delivering product are:
Scalability.
Enhanced customer reach.
Easy-to-measure marketing efforts.
Venture
Marketing Strategy
Da BestMilk tea would capitalize on the advantages of using social media on promoting
our product. This allows us to reach out to different and more audiences for them to find out about
us. Events and promos can also be used as posts to further attract more viewers and customers to
buy our products. Inquiries would also be answered whenever an audience would like to ask about
something. Moreover, those who are on our page would also be encouraged to share to their friends
or relatives about our products. This would ensure that the audiences we can reach chains on a
reliable rate.
Marketing Research
The proprietors decided that in order to maximize the time and effort to be expended for
researching about the latest preferences of the target costumers, a Survey must be conducted on a
randomized selection of students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Sta. Mesa
Campus.
The instrument used is a survey questionnaire with 2 demographic questions totalling to
11 questions. The proprietors used Frequency Chart to determine the preferences of the target
population.
Financial Plan
The amount of sales would purely be dependent on the first day sales where there would
be an influx of customers trying out the product. The amount saved up would then be used for
trying out different flavors to be implemented to the shop, restocking the inventory, paying
employees, and possible opening of different branches. The business would be able to open another
branch with balance higher than 100,000.00. We would then search for a possible place to open
one, calculating the rent expense and supplies expense.

Advertisement
Advertisement would also be handled using social media. Creative posts will be used about
our products to enhance its effect, making the viewer of the post to possible crave thinking about
the product stated on the post.
Posting about the products will be done in a daily fashion. This ensures our customers to
daily be informed about the milktea varieties we can bring. Posting about our events and promos
can also be a great advertisement for us, as this can possibly attract customers to buy our products.
Also, this can help us in boosting the viewers of our page and possibly gain more audiences as
more posts are displayed.
Tagline
The tagline of Da BestMilk Tea should enunciate about the word “best” on its name.
Making those who read the tagline wonder if it is really the best, therefore, makes them possibly
wanting to try one of our products. Thus, we have decided to have our tagline be:
“Bringing to your taste buds what’s best, only here at Da BestMilk Tea!”
This tagline focuses on making its reader wonder if it is legitimate. Turning them curious
about the taste of our product. Moreover, this would also help in the advertisement and marketing
of the product, as it can also be used on social media posts.
Target Customers
The target customers of our product would be the general public, for we believe that
everyone deserves a nice milktea break that can help them to relax, and of course, make them feel
the pleasure in consuming something delicious. Here at Da BestMilk Tea, anyone who craves for
a delightful milktea is always welcome. Anyone can be a part of Da BestMilk Tea family.
Distribution
The product distribution of the Da BestMilk Tea would only wherever the shop will open.
This means that all supplies needed to dish out the products would be concentrated on that shop
and that shop only. Of course, if there are branches, that shop would also have access on the
distribution. But for now, only one shop would be open, therefore, it is the only one that has
necessary supplies.
Internet Promotions
As stated in the marketing and advertisement plan of Da BestMilk Tea, we will be relying
on the advantages of using social media to help us in getting customers and selling more products.
Thus, internet promotions would rely solely on using the social media and getting as much viewers,
and possible customers, as we can using our posts or blogs.
Technology Innovation
Da BestMilk Tea uses a localhost on making the customers take their orders. This would
help them in seeing our products some more, also, it makes making an order easier by them just
tapping and easily viewing the receipt as they buy more products. Thus, making the transaction
more transparent and easier. Moreover, this would make the accounting much easier after the
business hours, as the total and the profits would easily be viewed at the end of each day.
Alternative Marketing
If social media marketing still can’t do it, an alternative would be using and posting flyers
about Da BestMilk Tea in key locations. This won’t be more efficient and have less audience that
can reach than social media, but this can still work as a creative flyer can also have an equal or
more appeal when compared to a social media post.
Flyers can be distributed to customers who brought our products, and this can also have a
promo that can make them want to return. Moreover, a person can also be assigned to distribute
flyers on locations near the store to inform any passerby about us.

Profitability
Sales
The amount of sales would purely be dependent on the first day sales where there would
be an influx of customers trying out the product. The amount saved up would then be used for
trying out different flavors to be implemented to the shop, restocking the inventory, paying
employees, and possible opening of different branches.
Profit
The calculated amount of profit that we would gain is 10% per milk tea sold, starting from
the ingredients, salary of the employees, and the procurement of ingredients, excluding the tools
used. The prices would go up as well as the brand gets more popular and have better influence,
thus, increasing the profit.
Inventory
Items Amount
Ingredients 10 boxes
Machines 2
Food Cart 1
*Per cart
The inventory consists of straws, cups, ingredients, machines, food carts. The ingredients
would always have at least 10 packs in storage per branch, which means if there are 2 branches
then the inventory will prepare at least 20 packs in case of emergency. Packaging items like straws
and cups, since they are relatively cheaper would have more in storage compared to the ingredients,
the machines would come and go from the inventory in case of broken machines, they will be
repaired and be used for emergency, while the branch with broken machine would be replaced
with a new/repaired one. Food carts would be constructed whenever there is a plan to open another
branch, or else there would not be one in store.

Monitoring
The business would be able to open another branch with balance higher than 100,000.00.
We would then search for a possible place to open one, calculating the rent expense and supplies
expense. The main headquarters expense would also be included. The going in and out of
assets/items would be strictly monitored to ensure that the balance would always be accurate.
