The idea of Anytime Bakery Cafe is taken from the analysis of companies that are in
existence in Mayfair, London. This was reflected that all businesses offered food and beverages
at high prices which are not easily affordable by all group of people (Toms, 2019). Considering
this factor as an opportunity and plans in order to take an advantage of this, an entrepreneur has

Market analysis.
Industry analysis:
For analysing the industry and determines the revenue and profitability drivers for
Anytime bakery Cafe as well as formulate plans as well as strategies as per the analysis. It can be
analysed by the Porter's five force analysis: Threat of new entrance: It is related to the barriers of new entrance that has to be faced
at a time of entering into food and beverage industry. It has to be found that the industry
has low threat of new entrance that implies can enter easily in this sector. As there is the
low requirement of capital to invest in it as well as the scale of economies are beneficial
as well. Within the context of Anytime Bakery Cafe, it will facilitate gluten free items
and snacks for segmenting health conscious people and backed product such as pies,
breads, cakes, cookies etc. for others. This entrepreneurial venture will supply tea as well
5

as coffee to their customers with snacks that accordingly mean as they will face low
threat of new entrants because of their unique products. Bargaining power of buyers: It is associated with the customers capability to edge
venture under pressure to demand prices according to their need. Buyers in food &
beverage industry have high bargaining power as the presence of supermarkets,
confectionary stores and so on. In order to make control over the switching cost of
products, Anytime Bakery Cafe will sell their products at low prices initially and
provides healthy as well as baked products. It will give an opportunity to take attention of
health conscious population within UK especially London. Bargaining power of suppliers: In the food and beverage industry, the bargaining
power of suppliers are low as they own well organised market for cafe and bakery
items. The products and services of Anytime Bakery Cafe will be unique and exceptional
with their low prices as well as they have potential to increase the products prices within
London as business will themselves have to obtain raw materials that can help in making
gluten free items and snacks. Threat of substitutes: It is related to the assertion of buyers in order to find substitutes at
a same price and quality that possess the switching capability. The factor which influence
the purchasing behaviour of buyers includes switching cost, product differentiation as
well as ease of substitution. This has to become an opportunity for Anytime Bakery Cafe
as there are many players in the market who provides gluten free products but none of
them facilitate cafe and party space (North, 2018). In order to that Anytime Bakery Cafe
has low threat of substitution that can possess the huge potential towards the long term
survivability in the competitive marketplace of United Kingdom. This will assist the
venture to earn high profit and face competition.
 Competitive rivals: It is associated with the competitiveness of food and beverage
industry as the rivalry within this sector is to be found high. It is required that business
ventures stay aware towards their rivals and know the importance of offering innovative
goods and services. New product development plan should be formed as per the strategies
as well as products that are being provided by the competitors such as Greggs plc,
Starbucks, Cafe Coffee Day and so on that are the leading market players at international
level. Anytime Bakery Cafe get benefits of an organiser of separate party areas and offer
6

gluten items that are facilitated by less bakery's and café's and they considered health
conscious people of UK.

sectors rivals. In the cafe segment Costa Coffee is the largest player and in Bakery business
Greggs can be reasoned as a big threat for “Anytime Bakery Cafe” as well as their business

essential for the new bakery and cafe business that the offerings of their products are unique and
innovative which have the ability to supply and satisfy the customer’s needs and wants.
Customer analysis:
Customer analysis includes the target market of customers as it can be seen that most of
the population of UK suffering from the diseases like obese and diabetes and now, they prefer
health conscious food and snacks so that it is more demanded in the market (Freudenreich,
2019). The target market of new upcoming business of bakery and cafe is targeted health
