History
Café Coffee Day is a division of India‟s largest coffee conglomerate, Amalgamated Bean Coffee
Trading Company Ltd. (ABCTCL), popularly known as Coffee Day. This is a Rs. 300 crore ISO
9002 certified company. Its chief customers are in USA, Europe & Japan. Based in Chickmaglur,
home of some of the best Indian Coffees, Coffee Day has its business spanning the entire gamut
of coffee consumption in India. Its different divisions include:
Coffee Day Fresh n Ground (354 Coffee bean and powder retail outlets)
Coffee Day Xpress (341 Coffee Day Kiosk)
Coffee Day Take away (7000 Vending Machines)
Coffee Day Exports
Café Coffee Day
Coffee Day Perfect (FMCG Packaged Coffee) division
Café Coffee Day (CCD) pioneered the café concept in India in 1996 by opening its first café at
Brigade Road in Bangalore. Till about late 1990‟s coffee drinking in India was restricted to the
intellectual, the South Indian traditionalist and the five start coffee shop visitor. As the pure (as
opposed to instant coffee) coffee café culture in neighboring international markets grew, the need
for a relaxed and fun “hangout” for the emerging urban youth in the country was clearly seen.
Recognizing the potential that lay ahead on the horizon, Café Coffee Day embarked on a
dynamic journey to become a large organized retail café chain with a distinct brand identity of its
own.
Positioning
Café Coffee Day, at its inception in 1996 was the vanguard of a café culture in India. At a time
when the country was growing well economically and young India enjoyed higher spending
power, CCD as it‟s popularly known, started to set up the first retail chain of coffee bars. It broke
new ground in 1999 when the entire market grew phenomenally with the entry of new players.
7|Page
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
From the beginning, it positioned itself as being a coffee bar and has maintained that positioning
for a long time now. For a consumer, CCD represents a “fun place” where one can go with a
whole bunch of friends at any time of the day and have a good time, over coffee.
In 2002, Café Coffee Day underwent a rebranding exercise through a change in its logo. The
earlier logo was a simple red square with white streak running across, and „Coffee Day‟ written
at the bottom. At this stage, CCD was still perceived as a South Indian coffee joint similar to the
Coffee House in Kolkata, a place where intellectuals meet and spend their time discussing issues.
CCD saw a latent market in youngsters, who were increasingly looking for a place to spend time
with friends and have fun. It then created an umbrella mother brand, Coffee Day and four sub-
brands to represent the various activities. The logo then incorporated red, white and green colors,
a larger font emphasis on the word „Café‟. According to the company, red signifies leadership
and passion and the white swirl stands for purity of purpose and the feel of coffee. The new color
green endorsed the long heritage of CCD in growing coffee.
Café Coffee Day does not look at mass media as a viable area of advertising or marketing spend.
CCD is advertised through barter deals with other brands for ground events.
BELOW-THE-LINE ACTIVITIES:
2003- Levi‟s launched a new range of Low Rise jeans through a campaign called „6”
below‟. CCD displayed POPs of Levi‟s in all its outlets during the campaign
2004- The launch of Liril Orange soap by HLL was conducted in Café Coffee Day
2004- TVS Scooty tied up with CCD for events in the coffee bars and at malls on
Valentine‟s Day in February
2004- CCD was the official ground partner for the Channel V Get Gorgeous contest
IN-FILM ADVERTISEMENTS:

SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
Hindi films- It started with Bas Yun Hi and then conscious advertisement decisions were
made for Khakee, Main Hoon Na, Kyun Ho Gaya Na and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge
Youtube ads- Sit down for love song
All these movies were targeted at young movie-goers, teenagers and people looking for light-
hearted entertainment. These are much the same kind of people who are likely to visit Café
Coffee Day .
SALES PROMOTIONS:
Merchandising – Every CCD stocks merchandise ranging from coffee mugs, T-shirts,
caps, bags, coffee filters, mints, different flavors of coffee powders, tea and cream,
wafers and biscuits. It also merchandises promotional materials for other brands it
associates with
Café Beat – An in-house magazine which gives the entire low-down on what‟s happening
in CCD outlets across the world. It describes experiences of customers, celebrations in
CCDs, and covers youth-centric topics like movies, music, travel, lifestyle, e-dating,
books and careers. Around 38% CCD goers read Café Beat and some carry it back with
them
CCD has now tied up with WorldSpace and Microsense to provide satellite connectivity
in its outlets
SEGMENTATION STRATEGY:
Café Coffee Day has its main consumer base in the age group of 15-29 years. Its customers are
mainly middle class and upper middle class youth who are upwardly mobile. From the market,
CCD seeks to target not just the youth but anyone who is “young at heart”. More than 10% of
their customers are above 35 years of age. The evidence of the connect CCD has been able to
make, particularly among the youth, comes from the findings of Brand Equity‟s Most Trusted
Brands survey. The most reputed media house in the country (The Economic Times) has brought
the voice of the people! They say Cafe coffee day leads as far as „trust‟ is concerned. Cafe
Coffee Day is much loved and trusted. Cafe Coffee Day has been ranked No.2 in Brand Equity,

SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
India's most trusted list of food services brands. Cafe Coffee is at position 29 in so far as service
brands in general. Cafe Coffee Day is up four positions since 2010.
Generic Competition
Direct Competitors:
Barista – This is the closest competitor to Café Coffee Day in the Indian market. They
target the same class of upwardly mobile youth and young professionals. But Barista is
often viewed as a place to unwind after a hard day‟s work or an ideal setting for some
business meetings.
Café Mocha – This aims at providing a level of experience to the consumer which is hard
to imitate. Inspired by Morocco and Turkey, Mocha offers not just coffee but also
sheeshas from Egypt and gourmet desserts. Mocha calls itself „a coffee shop for the soul‟
Indirect Competitors:
Eateries like McDonald‟s pose competition to CCD as they are likely attractions for a
consumer to be drawn to. A consumer can well contemplate why he should spend around
Rs. 45 on a coffee when he can get a burger and a coffee for the same price at
McDonald‟s
Local tea joints and coffee shops like Café Nescafe – They are smaller places but
nevertheless target the same set of consumers. Hence, CCD has to consider the threat a
shop like this could pose to it
Global Competitors:
Starbucks would pose a stiff competition for even an established brand like CCD

Introduction
This project is to study the feasibility of CCD, Vidyavihar from both consumer and retail
perspective. There are total all 3 CCDs in the vicinity which includes – 2 CCDs in Ghatkopar
East and one Shop-in-Shop CCD in Shoppers Stop, Chembur West. The study includes
comparison of the Vidyavihar CCD with that of the other 3 CCDs.
Types of Location
The CCDs can be divided into 6 formats depending upon the area, place and types of customer it
will serve.
1. Stand Alone:
This type of location is basically any stand-alone building that can be tucked away in a
neighborhood location or right off a busy street. Depending on the landlord, there are
generally no restrictions on how a retailer should operate his business. It will probably
have an ample parking and the cost per square foot will be reasonable.
Unlike the attached retail locations where customers may wander in because they were
shopping nearby, the retailer of a free standing location has to work at marketing to get
the customer inside.
2. Shop-in-Shop
11 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
The “shop in shop” retail concept is where a brand owner or retailer takes space in
another retailer‟s store and fits it out to provide selling space dedicated to that secondary
company‟s products.
Similarly, CCD has shop in shop format in Crossword to give the experience of a book
café. This makes it a place where book lovers can go and have a sip of coffee in a
peaceful and cozy ambience while reading their favorite genre of books.
CCD is also there inside few Shopper‟s stop to change the shopping experience
altogether. While the girls shop, guys can chill inside CCD and read Café Chronicle.
3. Corporate Format
In this format CCDs are open inside a corporate campus or corporate offices. This is a
very popular format as the corporate people can have small coffee meetings in CCD. This
type of format is quite popular in metro cities and gaining popularity in tier 2 and tier 3
cities as well.
4. Travel Hubs
The CCDs are open in travel hubs to make it convenient place for travelers to hang out
while they wait for their transportation. These types of formats are usually seen on
Airports, Petrol Pumps, Bus stands etc.
The target group is travelers and tourists. And thus takeaway format also works here.
5. Highway Café
Here the CCDs are placed on highway to attract the traffic on highway and people going
through highways.
Here the logo and the coffee fragrance plays the major role of attracting the customer.
People halt to take a sip of coffee to remain awake while driving through a long route.
6. Airport Café
12 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
Here the CCDs are placed inside the airport for passengers waiting for their flights.
Catchment area
During the location process, retailers are usually faced with the problem of defining the area they
wish to move into. This is called the Catchment area. The term, catchment area, is borrowed
from the geography and describes the sphere of influence around an area of interest or
importance. For retail location strategy, the retail catchment area is the geographical area from
which a store draws its customers. It can also refer to the shopping area of any retail outlet such
as shopping malls, factory outlets or shopping centers.
A retail catchment area is the sphere of influence around a retail attraction from which the
retailers is likely to draw customers.
In general, catchment areas are illustrated using maps which may be to scale or simply drawn as
a representation of the actual area (fig). A typical catchment area map will show a main shopping
center or store at the focus of the map, with other centers pinpointed to illustrate the pull of these
attractions. The reason why other centers are shown is that these create a draw and can distort the
potential of the main center as customers may go elsewhere.
Pricing
13 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
CCD follows Differentiated Pricing Strategy. CCDs have value proposition of all kinds equal to
society, especially, when they open in mid-market. It is different for different outlets. The pricing
depends on consumer potential and what are the input costs that go into running that store,
including rentals. CCDs have different pricing across different retail points.
Pricing in CCD is not determined by competition but by customers. CCDs have a good
understanding of the cafe consumer which has been detailed into their business strategy
including pricing.
P0: This format of pricing is used in tier 3 or tier 4 areas. The items are cheaper than other
formats. This is based on the income level of the catchment area.
P1: This format of pricing is used in tier 2 or tier 3 areas. The items are cheaper than rest of the
formats but higher than P0.
P2: This format of pricing is used in tier 2 or tier 3 areas. The items are cheaper than rest of the
formats but higher than P0 & P1
P3: This format of pricing is used in tier 2 or tier 1 areas. The items in menu are expensive than
the other formats but less expensive as compared to P4, Lounge and Square formats.
P4: This format of pricing is for plush areas where the income of catchment area is higher.
Lounge: The lounge format has its own pricing format called the lounge format. It serves to
premium customers at premium price.
Square: The square format also uses its own premium format of pricing. This serves to elite class
of the society. The pricing is based on the ambience and experience delivered.
Café moment
14 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
Cafe Coffee Day (CCD), launched 'Cafe Moments' - the very first pre-paid card usable at all
CCD outlets. It is a tribute to coffee loyalists of the country.
'Cafe Moments' are prepaid cards designed to enable cashless transactions at all the CCD outlets.
Customers can top-up their cards with denominations ranging from Rs. 100 to Rs. 5001 on an
ongoing basis, enabling ease of use on the purchase of food, beverages and merchandise at their
favorite CCD outlets. What's more, the cards are designed to be a great gift item that can be
given out to friends and family members at any occasion. Corporates can also use it as an ideal
fun gift for their employees.
The card takes away the hassle of carrying cash to CCD and allows you to completely focus on
what you're there for -- enjoying the food, beverage and the company. With the ease of payment
that comes with the card, it becomes a must-have for all the CCD frequenters.
Structure
15 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
An organization can be structured in many different ways, depending on their objectives. The
structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs.
Organizational structure allows the expressed allocation of responsibilities for different functions
and processes to different entities such as the branch, department, workgroup and individual.
Organizational structure affects organizational action in two big ways. First, it provides the
foundation on which standard operating procedures and routines rest. Second, it determines
which individuals get to participate in which decision-making processes, and thus to what extent
their views shape the organization‟s actions.
The structure of Café Coffee Day is very systematic and well defined. The structure might
change as per management‟s discretion. The level of responsibility and the number of stores
under the person increases as he/she moves up the hierarchy.
Expansion Strategy
1. Increase your sales and products in existing markets. This is obviously the easiest and
most risk-free way to expand. This tactic may require a bigger location, different pricing
strategies, new/improved marketing techniques - but it will be in a customer group with whom
you already have a relationship. If you get off track, your present customers will let you know!
2. Introduce a New Product. You have a successful product/service that you have been offering
for some time and have been collecting data, customer feedback and doing the tinkering on your
newest product. This is a normal evolution in business, not just an expansion tactic. When
16 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
positioned as adding value and being responsive to customer needs, this can be a relatively risk-
free way to expand.
3. Develop a New Market Segment or Move into New Geography. Both of these areas require
cost outlays and uncertainty. Moving your products into new categories or demographic
segments requires market research, beta testing and new marketing strategies, i.e. a message for a
16-year old will differ that one for a 60-year old. Management of new remote locations may
absorb significant time and attention. While the risks are more, the payoffs are large - and for
most businesses looking to expand, these two methods of expansion are inevitable.
4. Start a Chain. A restaurant, retail or service business that's easily reproduced and can be run
from a distance is all you need to launch a chain. But, you must be cognizant of what made the
first location a success - was it location, your staff or you? If it is just you, then duplication is
only possible through detailed operations plans and sharing staff between locations. You will
need to duplicate the plan of your first location while meeting increased customer demands.
Starting a chain gives your current staff a crack at "management" duties, training opportunities
and an opportunity to expand their horizons.
5. Franchise or License. While it's a quick way to grow, a franchise agreement can cost
(minimally) $100,000 to prepare. You will need to be a good teacher, be able to prepare the
training manuals (preferably in more than one language), be very organized and willing to travel.
Licensing can carry less risk, but demands giving up a certain amount of control. Licensing a
patent, trademark or industrial design means that you sell manufacturing, distribution or
production rights.
6. Join Forces / Strategic Alliance. A merger or acquisition combines the best of two
companies, expands your customer base, increases intellectual capital and delivers operational
efficiencies. The trick is finding the right partner. These partners may be new distributors, but be
forewarned large retailers exact heavy performance expectations. Can you perform to the letter
of your promise? Can you meet high standards of quality (ISO, or the like) and adapt your
procedures to meet just-in-time delivery? Due diligence and strong contractual arrangements are
essential here.
17 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
7. Go Global. You can decide to go global in a number of ways. Growing markets, rising
consumer spending, improved business climate--sometimes the only place to find these things is
overseas. Doing business internationally can take the form of exporting, licensing, a joint venture
or manufacturing, but whatever forms you choose, the basic business rules apply: assess
customer demand, gain legal and accounting assistance, protect intellectual property and obey
regulations.
More difficult to understand than the regular business affairs may be the cultural nuances -
ignore them at your peril. In some countries, particularly those in Asia, a local partner is virtually
a requirement. Your first stop should be your target country's economic development agency,
which can help marshal local resources to get you on your way, possibly with a small financial
boost. Be patient. Growing your business globally can take more than one "sightseeing trip" to
the region. Here are some steps in going global, from easiest to hardest.
Café Coffee Day follows the expansion strategy mixed with penetration strategy to make sure
that there is at least one CCD after very 5-10 minutes‟ walk. This may seem like cannibalization
to some strategists but end of the day makes it difficult for the potential entrants to enter the
market. Thus the revenue of CCD increases tremendously.
The same strategy they adopted in Vidyavihar and Ghatkopar area of Mumbai where they have
total 4 CCDs.
CCD is also expanding itself by going global. All this will lead CCD to compete with all the
major players of coffee retail in the world.
18 | P a g e

Café Coffee Day
Vidyavihar CCD is called the Meeting Point CCD. It is located outside the Vidyavihar East
station. The area is crowded by auto rickshaw queues and people travelling by train to their
offices and colleges. The place is near Somaiya Campus. The main reason to start Meeting Point
CCD is due to the space constraints and also because of the type of the area which includes
college students and corporate people.
The Vidyavihar, CCD has competition not only from the indirect competitors like dominoes but
also from other 2 CCDs in the vicinity. It needs to take care of all the sources of competition to
sustain in market. Though it is situated at a place from where thousands of people pass through
but the environment outside the store is not attractive enough to pull the crowd.
This is one of the main reasons for the entire study. It is a unique case where location serves as
both advantage and disadvantage.
Store Layout
This is the only CCD in the vicinity with Chicken items in the menu. This may be because it
being the traveling hub might attract lot of travelers with its variety in the menu.
It was also observed that the chairs were worn out and untidy and the outside environment is also
not very pleasant with auto rickshaw queue and slum dwellings.
19 | P a g e
SIMSR

BCG matrix
It is clearly visible that Vidyavihar CCD is seen as a Question mark on the BCG matrix. This is
because of various factors put together. The factors considered for the decision making includes:
1. Location
20 | P a g e
SIMSR
Café Coffee Day
2. Catchment Area
3. Space availability
4. Product availability
5. Cleanliness
6. Footfalls
Etc.
Thus it is very important to take strict action to improve the Vidyavihar CCD to increase the
revenue else it will eat the revenue of other beneficial CCD stores. The improvements can be in
the areas of customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, space utilization, promotions, cleanliness,
maintenance of the store etc.
Customer Survey
To understand what the existing customers feel about Vidyavihar CCD as compared to other
coffee shops and other CCDs in that area, I conducted a small survey with sample size of 40
respondents. These 40 people had been chosen very wisely to get genuine and accurate response
for the Meeting Point CCD, Vidyavihar. The customers were asked questions related to coffee
shops and then were asked how they felt about CCD as a brand and how they see Meeting Point
CCD, Vidyavihar. This questionnaire helped to understand where this CCD was lagging as
compared to other CCD outlets.
21 | P a g e
SIMSR

This clearly shows that coffee culture is popular mainly amongst people within the age group of
21-27 years.
22 | P a g e

Thus it becomes very important to plan the promotion and changes in the business strategies
keeping in mind the target group the coffee house is catering to.
From the graph we can observe that maximum respondents who visit coffee shops fall in the age
group of 25-26 years.
This age group doesn‟t belong to the teenage group. It more mature, young and career oriented
target group.

note that less than 1% of the people spend less than Rs.60/- in a coffee shop.
From the graph we can see that maximum people visit coffee shop with 2-4 people group. And
negligible number of people visit coffee shop alone or with more than 8 people.

4. Making good use of Café Moments Prepaid Card for Vidyavihar CCD
'Cafe Moments' are prepaid cards designed to enable cashless transactions at all the CCD
outlets. Customers can top-up their cards with denominations ranging from Rs. 100 to Rs.
5001 on an ongoing basis, enabling ease of use on the purchase of food, beverages and
merchandise at their favorite CCD outlets.
The suggestion is to give 10%-20% offs on
bill only when the card is used in CCD
Vidyavihar. This will give lot of visibility
and increase the footfalls. This will also
promote the Café Moments card.
