because the youngster or the corporate colleagues prefer more coffee to fresh up

This model has been developed by the Michael porter to help the business executive in
understanding the level of competition in the industry. It also helps the company in enhancing
the profit through various strategies and gain the competitive advantage by analysing the
external environment. These are the five forces that would use by The Roasted Beans to identify
the competition in the industry which are as under:
 Competition in the industry: It refers to the competitors present in the industry with
their number of equivalent products and services. When there are less competitors in the
market so the company have an opportunity to charge higher prices and gain profits. In
context to The Roasted Beans, it has many competitors in the industry like Starbucks,
Cafe Coffee Day, Dunkin Donuts etc.( Fan, Wei, Li, and Hong, 2020) that have loyal
customer. Therefore, it's may be difficult to deal with the existing rivals and convince
customer for switching to its products. So it has to get information about the rivals from
the customers, suppliers and employees as well and develop strategies to overcome this
trouble.
 Potential of new entrants into the industry: The power of the company can be
affected by the new entrant in the market. But, with reference to the The Roasted Beans
that is itself a new company and entering into the existing industry. So,it has to offer its
supplies at reasonable prices and various offers to gain the competitive advantage over
existing players.
 Power of supplier: It refers to the costs of inputs of goods and services that the suppliers
sell to the business concern. So in context to The Roasted Beans, the profit margin of the
company would also be impacted as the price at which the suppliers sell their products
will determine the price of the finished goods.
 Power of buyers: It refers to the power of negotiation for lower prices and better deal
by the customers. This may affects the company's competitive strategy as the buyer can
easily switch over to another product if not satisfies with the price of the products. In
7

relation to The Roasted Beans, it can reduce the bargaining power of the customers by
providing them unique products of roasted beans.
 Threat of substitute products: The substitute products provide more opportunity to the
buyers on basis of quality and prices. In context to The Roasted Beans, this would
increase the high competition in the industry since the buyer always go foe quality ans
low priced products. So, it has to develop strategies of providing great quality and
reasonable products.
Marketing mix
The marketing mix refers to the analysis of basic components and elements which
decides the viability and progress of a business in long run. The four major components of
marketing mix are product, price, place and promotion.
Product
Product refers to the commodity with addition of value which is suppose to provide
utility to the consumers. The product decisions are most critical for the constructive performance
of a company in order to enhance growth and development of the organisation. The viability of a
product is majorly depends upon its demand and supply factors in the market (Pandit and et.al.,
2020). The decision regarding a product is taken after analysing numerous determinants which
affects the product. The product provided by the roasted beans would be coffee and related
beverages including a vast varieties. The enterprise will deal in offering wide range of coffee
products including cappuccino, espresso, latte, americano and other such varieties in different
flavours. The varieties of their product would include caramel coffee, hot chocolate, ice-cream
coffee, hazelnut coffee, nutella coffee and other palatable beverages. Through conducting
research and promoting innovation, the business plan would keep discovering and adding more
varieties in their product line. The main objective of this business venture is to occupy high
market share and make the brand popular. The viability of a product is majorly related to the
elements of packaging which bring standardisation to the product and makes the product look
customised in the market.
Price
Price is the factor which determine the level of customers that an organisation is likely to
attract in the course of business. The formulation of pricing strategies majorly depends upon the
costs incurred in the process of manufacturing and production. The price of a product is decided
8

taking into consideration numerous aspects related to it (Ravihara, Danthanarayana and
Fernando, 2019). Sometimes large companies keep their prices high to maintain the prestige and
esteem of their brand in the market due to the factors of differentiation. While other times firms
decide their pricing policies through following technique of sales maximisation by offering
reduction in prices. The pricing factor is very crucial in the process of a new business venture
assessment. Consumers are tend to prefer products which provide maximum utility to them at
most reasonable price. Due to the emergence of various businesses, the availability of product is
high and the audience will select the product which is likely to provide great satisfaction while
spending lower on prices. The pricing strategies formulated for this business plan would consider
the element of sales maximisation and set the prices according to the value added in the product.
The prices of the coffee would be decided in a way that it is affordable to consumers with middle
and low income level. The main objective of this business is to build a base of loyal customers
where they appreciate the quality and prices of the beverages that are being offered.
Place
The decision of location and place where routine business operations are conducted is
very relevant and important to determine the accessibility of product or services to the potential
consumers. A business venture where major operations are executed should consider a location
which is within the area of consumer reach (Gunawan, 2020). Moreover the place should be
situated in a commercial location where it could grab attention of maximum individuals. The
roasted beans cafe would be situated in the area which is approachable to youngsters and
corporate colleagues. The locality of this venture is likely to grab attention of people attending
universities and offices which are nearby to the cafe. The convenient location of the roasted
beans cafe would facilitate the maximum engagement of individuals to access the products that
are being offered. Beside this, the cafe would focus on the interior designs and ambience where
people feel relaxed and could enjoy the vibe with warmth of coffee. The surroundings of the cafe
would play a major role in engagement of consumers. Youngsters prefers to visit cafes with
attractive backgrounds and interior designs where they could feel comfortable and cozy. Theme-
based cafes are getting very popular as sometimes youth only visit cafes to feel the vibe and to
catch up with their friends and colleagues. Therefore this cafe would ensure that the ambience is
beautiful and maintains good hygiene to comply with food standards.

After finalising decisions regarding product, price and place, the business plan is
incomplete without deciding effective techniques of promotion. The element of promotion is
very much crucial for determining the scope of expansion of a business venture. In order to
induce sales of a company, it is highly essential for the organisation to invest in the areas of
promotion through advertisements and commercials. The expenditure for the purpose of
promotion depends upon the size of an organisation (Langaro and Martins, 2020). Large
companies which are likely to generate high revenues invest heavy amounts on advertisements.
In context to the roasted beans, the organisation will mainly promote their business with the help
of social media marketing and through distribution of pamphlets. The organisation will create
accounts and website which would display all the relevant information regarding the location
and services offered by the cafe. The firm would also make strategies regarding discounting
policies and exciting offers to induce the purchases. The firm would establish constructive and
effective strategies like providing the best item of menu for free to their first customers. This will
helps in establishing goodwill of the firm and will increase the number of consumers.
Financial plan

capital resources to carry the operational activities of the firm.
Sources of funding

form of loan from various sources like banks, government, equity capital and so on. In context to
