Our line of business operates a café that serves a variety of coffee flavours as well as cold beverages such as
iced coffee, cold brew, and other non-caffeinated beverages. Aside from that, we also have breakfast, lunch,
and snack options. Our goods are incredibly inexpensive, costing no more than $ 20.00per serving. Our
mission is to provide low-cost, excellent, and healthy food and beverages to our customers who are close
and passing by the train.
Our store operates from 6:00 am in the morning until 3:30 PM from Monday to Friday and 6:00 am to 2:00
pm during weekends.
We also intend to extend our little café into a larger business in the next ten years, serving to other states
across Australia, and to expand our small café into a larger firm so that we can supply consumers with the
tastes they love all across Australia.

and implement marketing strategies) including the need for specialist assistance (e.g., underperforming
products and services with reasons for underperformance)
Because our society has become more technologically advanced, my company will use various social media
platforms to reach a big number of potential customers. Active participation on a variety of platforms will
enable my company to be recognized by a large number of people, allowing them to learn more about the
products and services we provide.
Another option is to connect applications so that customers can quickly order our products even if they are
in another location. We also have our delivery team.
Staff are provided advise if they work from home through various mobile applications, and we have a weekly
meeting where any concerns and possibilities are discussed and solutions are created. With the help of the
application and social media, our customers may simply contact us and vice versa. Some Staff members are
allocated to online transactions, inquiries, and other tasks.
People are passing by and every second counts, so there is only limited room for indoors. Our business is
located near the subway, along with other food establishments; Also, because our kitchen isn't particularly
large, just a small number of employees were on hand to minimize congestion.
This café was established by wendy Du with his own money, so he had to account for every facet of the
business, including my employees' salary and the rental charge.
1. Identify and analyse information on expected market growth or decline, along with the associated risk
factors
As a result of our marketing strategy, my business' profits will increase. Now that we are recovering from
the pandemic, more tourists will visit Australia, and our engagement with customers will become more
active than before, as more establishments reopen and more private sectors operate for large numbers of
people.
The risk in business is that the number of staffs, because now more customers are entering my café,
meaning more orders will be made for them. As well as, the raw ingredients for our products.
3. Current comparative market information which may include best practice information, benchmarking and
competitor information
There are three cafes that are similar to mine, but in order to keep my business on top, we offer healthy and
nutritious beverages and food to attract customers as well as to help them balance their health status by
providing nutritious food. We are concerned about our customers' safety, which is why we have developed
new products to maintain their health.

environmental, government activities, social and cultural, demographic, technological or industrial.

marketing strategy. In our business, we also have discounts on a certain product,this is an effective way to
attract costumers to buy our products.
Because of the current situation we have today, most of our customers are afraid to went outside, but in the
months to come we expect that most of our people will come to our firm. For those who doesn’t have enough
time to visit our store we also have our delivery team and costumers can place their order online so that
they can still enjoy our products. Certain amount will be charged for delivery fee.
Knowing that our store is located nearby the subway, which is one of the primary transportations here in
Australia, a lot of people are passing by the streets where our store is located, our café has a large scope of
customers, employees, students and tourists are often getting to our store.
We use materials which are environmentally friendly, for indoors, using straw less is better to lessen the
waste. For take outs, we never use plastics for wrapping but instead we use paper bags. For food, we used a
recyclable clear container and paper cup for beverages.

all the necessary documents as well as the competitors info, updates and stand and providing them a
presentation to give a clear picture of the firm with the strategy that we are creating.
For offsite consultation it is best to communicate them through online meeting with the use of different app
