improving the competitiveness with proper justifications.

Among all the
food,from
the signatures
in this cafe are Old China Nasi Lemak and Nyonya Laksa. The Old
China Nasi Lemak is served with blue coconut rice which is made from Asian Pigeon wing plant. The
striking blue rice along the signature sambal and curry chicken makes this dish visually impressive
yet equally tasty. Not only that, their Nyonya Laksa is very flavorful with thick coconut milk curry
gravy and contains spices. Along with the fresh ingredient such as prawns, fishcakes and vegetables,
this is surely one good bowl of soul food. With impressive texture and taste, these scrumptious
dishes will surely give one's taste buds a surprise that will never be forgotten. Besides all these
scrumptious and authentic dishes, Old China Caf will also come out a new dish every year.

this business as he was actually inspired by Geoffrey Bawa who is a Sri Lankan architect. Designing a
space by preserving the structure of old buildings is his ambition. Therefore, the business is started
after he had chosen a suitable building and location. The interior of Old China Cafe is designed with
the theme of old-time charm. The interior looks like a traditional home that Chinese live in the past.
Traditional elements are used such as the wooden stairs, the cement walls and floor. The spaces in
this cafe are decorated with antique furniture such as marble tables, wooden chairs, old photos, and
flower pots.

Brief Description of the competitors

Geographer Cafe VS Calanthes caf
Geographer Caf
What is so special about them compare to Calanthes caf?
The first impression of this restaurant is that it is designed
more towards a western style caf. The food is healthier as it
contains more vegetable and organic food. Geographer Caf is
located at the Conner Lot which provides a strategic location
to them, allowing visitor to get to this caf easily. There will
also be live band ongoing that you can listen to live music
while watching the world go by.
Tom Yam
Coconut Soup
Curry Ramen
This is some of the top notch food that most of the customers like. Their Curry Ramen is quite special as
they use Japanese Noodle (Ramen) instead of yellow noodles. After they cook the Tom Yam soup, they put
it into an empty coconut instead of normal bowl. Geographer Cafe promotes healthy living through their
food. They prefer their food without the use of MSG and only offer white meat for meals. As seen in the
reviews from Trip Advisor.

so, Cafes in towns are still rising.
- But still, new business still can be

-Moderate, business also started with

a small capital but has a relatively
good advertising which Old China

regular customers.
-Differentiated products for both businesses as they have a large variety of
Nyonya dishes to choose from.
Oligopolistic competition as they are
others cafes around Calanthe Art Cafe
such as Geographer Cafe and LimauLimau Cafe which offers an almost
similar menu with Calanthe Art Cafe.
Monopolistic competition as they are

the only cafe that offers Nyonya
oriented dishes around Petaling
Street, Kuala Lumpur.
After researched and analysis, we found that Old China Cafe is more commercially successful than
Calanthe Art Cafe as Old China Cafe has a more stable business income and more regular customers.
In terms of business operation years and branches, Old China Cafe has been operated for 18 years
and still counting and has a total of 3 branches which located in Penang, Malacca and Central
Market. Apart from that, Old China Cafe also has another family based cafe known as Art Gallery
Cafe, both Old China Cafe and Art Gallery Cafe falls under the same operation system. Calanthe Art
Cafe is the one and only cafe in Malacca and they are expecting to grow more beyond Malacca. With
all the evident above, I strongly suggest that Old China Cafe is more stable and successful compared
to Calanthe Art Cafe.

Recommendation
Based on our analysis and research from the two caf, which is Calanthes Caf and Old
China Caf, we came up a few recommendations ideas to improve their businesses for the
satisfaction of the customers in general.
A.) Calanthe Art Cafe
Area of Improvement
Recommendation
The Location
The current location for Calanthe

Art Caf is located in a hardly visible place for
visitors to see. The location should be changed to
a more open area, best is corner lot as it can be
seen easily.
The spaces around the caf are limited due to the
fact of having too many decorating items, making
the amount of table and seats for the customer to
reduce. By expanding the spaces for the
customers, the amount of customers can be
increased as well as the sales revenue.
Calanthe Art Caf working hours usually start in
the afternoon making the breakfast menu to have
limited choices. With the trend nowadays,
teenagers like to hang out in a caf and have
brunch with friends, by making the working hours
to start earlier; the caf can earn more in a sense
and attracts more teenagers to come.
Having background music in a chill and quiet caf
seems to be a trend nowadays, but the
background music that Calanthe
Caf plays is slightly too loud and doesnt fit the
surrounding. With the theme of Calanthe Art Caf,
the caf should play a slower and chill beat music
to slow down the customers stressful life.
Expend the spaces for customers
Increase the working hours
Poor background music

Integrated Project|
21
B.) Old China Cafe
Area of Improvement
Hot surrounding
Recommendation
Due to the fact that the building is old and has
to be maintained, the ventilating system is
weak making the surrounding to be hot. This
should be improved by implementing some air
conditional in the caf as the customers can
dine in a more comfortable way.
Parking Problem
The location of this caf is in Petaling Street

and it is congested with traffic, as well as
construction of the new MRT station.
Implementing more parking spot around the
caf will allow more customers to come.
Cafs signboard
The signboard of the caf can be improved

even the caf is more towards old time charm.
The signboard should be more visible and
attractive to the people walking through the
street
Service of the employees
The employees of the caf are not to

professional standard yet probably because
the employees are not local. By changing
employees that are willing to communicate
with the customers, customers would be more
likely to come to the caf.
Overall, both cafes have their own specialty in terms of arranging the layout or setting up the
atmosphere. But some of the parts of both cafes can be improved as listed in the table.

With Calanthe Art Cafe

On the 31st of October 2015, we are honoured to interview with two of the founders of
Calanthe Art Cafe, Mr Joe and Mr Joseph. During the interview session, Mr Joe and Mr
Joseph shared their experience with us and gave us some exposure in establishing a cafe
business. Some of the questions were answered by Mr Joe and some of it was answered by
Mr Joseph. Here are the questions we asked.
- Mr Joe, along with 5 of his friends came up an idea of combining all states of coffee
in Malaysia which eventually made all 6 of them as the founder of this cafe.
- 2005, exactly 10 years.
- No one is particular but business school actually interests me to start a cafe
business. I considered myself an adventurous guy who made me like to work and
gain experience from it.
-
- Obstacles are inevitable, survival in this business is vital.
- Relatively compared to standard capital, I only used RM70, 000 to start this
business.
- To start in this industry, it is extremely easy. All you need to do is register from the
related authorities; pay RM60 for the registration fee and injection. Idea is useless
until you actually implement it in the business, which is why you can see a lot of
newly built cafe when youre walking down a city street.
-When I was studying in business school, I like to research a lot. Calanthe is an odd
name that is a type of orchids, a man-made hybrid orchids (Marketing strategy). Like

a plants, from a seed to plant. In mandarin, means God Promise Land. As youre
going through obstacles to achieve success, God will protect you.
- We currently only have one shop. We have 12 full timers and 5 part timers in this
cafe.

- Variation of 13 states of coffee beans around Malaysia.
- 2 months to 3 months, we usually target more on local delights.
- Mostly social media, we usually dont use advertisement to promote our cafe.
13. What is the rough amount of customers?
- Depending on the day itself, we usually have around 100 customers during the
weekday while 200 or above during weekends.
- Local and foreigners, during the weekends, tourist stands our more than local
people. Around 70% is tourist while 30% is local.
- Besides serving local delights, we also help tourist that needs help in terms of tour
suggestion, getting directions or transportation from one place to one place.
- Slightly affected, because customers are more concern on the F&B. GST influenced
our business around 20%
17. Can you name your top 3 competitors?
- We never really compare ourselves with other cafe, but if you insist, I would say
Geography Cafe as it is the first one in Jonker Street and has been operated for
around 15 years. Limau-limau cafe is also one of the cafes in Jonker Street, but we
never take them as competitor as they are our friends. As for cafe beyond Jonker
Street, there is nothing much beside the famous franchise, Old Town Cafe.

Integrated Project|
31

- Our strategies is basically seek for what the world needs, the world wants
something special, something that can only be found in that particular place. We
treat coffee like a fish, able to make the most delicious fish will let your business
stand out and attract more customers, just like coffee.
19. Are there any changes or improvement for the past 5 years?
- Changes cannot be made as it the core of our business which is to brew the best
coffee. But we did think of adding in new recipe for our coffee, we also use new
theory like AIA theory, which is to attract the customer, interest them and make
action for what they want.
- Me myself wish to have more branches around Malaysia. (Said by Mr Joseph)
- In terms of monitoring, not really, but in terms of marketing, I would say yes. Being
successful is about doing something you are passionate in.
- Yes, with our coffee beans around the state, I believe we can.

With Old China Cafe

On the 6th of November 2015, we are honoured to interview with one of the
founders of Old China Cafe, Mr Leonard Tee. During the interview session, Mr Leonard
asked us some questions on pursuing in architecture field and shared some of his
experience in being a local film director. Here are the questions we asked.

- Johnny Wong and Leonard Tee
-1997, about 18 years
- Like I mentioned before, Im a film director so I personally like to travel and watch movie. So
in my trip to Sri Lanka, I instantly fell in love with a contemporary garden designed by
Geoffrey Bawa. The material used by him is very sustainable in terms of preserving the
nature. In 1997, there is an old building that I fell in love which is the Old China Cafe now,
because of its architecture. So with the spaces I had, I decided to share my culture in
Nyonya food and home cook food into this business.
- In 1997, the building that I mentioned just now was actually part of the Selangor
Association, it was used to hold all association members but due to land act control year
2000, they have no choice but to transfer from the place due to contract and agreement.
We looked at the stability of the building and the feng shui and slowly we fell in love with
the neighbourhood ad get to deal with some of the leftover antique furniture, we think it is
suitable place to start a cafe and kept going until today.
- Open the cafe is easy, but sustaining is hard. It is because the building itself is old so the
interior structure wont change and the building is old. Maintenance has to be made
monthly due to old stuff, wall, furniture and etc. Some of the furniture is fragile and need to
be restored.
- Humble start, I started with a minimum capital.
- Old time charm which is suitable to old oriental which represents Chinese, when u enter the
cafe, the name reflect to the cafe.
- 30 employees, and we currently have 3 branches, located at Central Market, Malacca and
Penang.

- Old time charm
- Every year, mostly local dishes because it has to be subject related.
- We promote our business through news media.
13. What is the rough amount of customers? (Weekends and weekdays)

- It depends on the season, since we are in Petaling Street, foreign tourist are more attracted.
During Summer Holiday and Christmas Holiday, the customers for local and foreigners will
be more than usual.
- Mix of both local and foreigner.
15. What is the hardest struggle you face in this business?
- Workers and servicing. Workers is difficult to deal with, we have to treat them right
- Just food and beverage.
- Not at all, because our cafe is subjected to the government tax from day 1. It is just that the
government tax change to GST.
18. .Can you name your top 3 competitors?
- I dont treat competitors as competitors, the merrier the better.
20. Are there any changes or improvement for the past 5 years?
- Change staff, getting better staffs.
- We cant tell, because with the hulk of MRT station coming up in our area, the rental might
get increase, so we cant really tell whats going to happen in the next 10 years.
- Yes, we have been travelled in more traveller place and listed in the book, 1000 places to
go before you die.
- No, Im not really ambitious.
