EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The objective of this feasibility is to provide an electric heated lunchbox in the

market. Nowadays, people who are working on a company tend to buy on canteens and

restaurants but some of them bring lunchbox to spend less money. Nevertheless, when

they eat their lunch, it is not as hot as when they just cooked it. With the help of the

product, the workers can warm or reheat their lunch conveniently.

1.1 Highlights

1.1.1 Name of the Proposed Business

Heat n’ Eat is a shorter term for heat and eat. The word ‘heat’ exemplifies

to heat again the food or to reheat it to bring back it’s delicious taste while the

word eat simply means that the customers will eat the food after reheating it. The

goal of this product is for consumers to bring delicious meals with them for later

consumption.

1.1.2 Logo

Figure 1.1:

Logo

The logo of the proposed business is aligned to the product Heat n’ Eat.

The proponents brainstormed to come up with this kind of logo. The background

color of the logo is black representing the elegance of the product. The lining is in

color red to represent the love and passion of the proponents to their work. The

proponents placed little detail like the hands of the clock being spoon and fork. It

symbolizes that in just a short span of time, the food will be already hot and

ready to eat. Also, the hands of the clock are formed to make a letter “L” and the

proponents put there the name of the main product of the proposed business;

lunch box. The company name is on the top of the logo and the size is enough to

see whose product it is.

1.1.3 Vision-Mission Statement

Mission

Heat n’ Eat products are built to last and provide solutions for more

comfortable, enjoyable eating experience for people on the go, allowing

consumers to make healthy choices on a daily basis. To achieve zero tolerance

in quality, maintain customer satisfaction through cost effectiveness, value added

service, service orientation is also the company’s mission.

Vision

To reach out globally, expanding domestic market by providing quality

production, updating technology and achieve phenomenal business growth.

1.1.4 Product Description

Heat n’ Eat is an innovative electric lunch box that can reheat food when

plugged into an electric source. Electric heated lunchbox allows customers to

enjoy their favorite food. With it, they can bring delicious meals with them for later

consumption. After it is connected to a power source, the food will gain heat

within few minutes. The proponent’s product, which is an electric heated

lunchbox, is usually made of stainless steel and comes with a carrying handle for

easy transportation that is similar to a picnic cooler.

1.1.5 Management/Legal Feasibility

This chapter covers the company's different department management. It

determines and studies the business flow, organization, and arrangement of

activities, including the rules and regulations and the objectives that follow. The

chapter includes the operational strategies, the advocates, business ownerships,

organizational maps, laws and proper procedures, and compensation for the

employees.

1.1.6 Marketing Feasibility

Marketing is said to be the lifeblood of a feasibility study. It aims to

determine the possible direct and indirect competitors, the target market (if the

product aims to target the kids, teens or adults), the demand and supply of the

product, the competition and the market strategies such as product, price, place,

and promotion strategies. It gives the proponents a view on the possible outcome

of the product if it will be introduced to the market since it includes here the

survey that the group conducted to see if the product is feasible. Also, the

marketing aspect highlights the product. The proponent’s product is an electrical

heating lunch box with alarm.

Food Realm Inc. store will be located at 4 Orange St., Odelco Subdivision,

Novaliches, Quezon City. The proponents opted for a place accessible to the

4
public for visibility to customers and easier way to purchase the product. Aside

from that the company will also distribute to malls, grocery stores, appliance

stores and such. To promote the product, the proponents will use social media as

one of their promotion or advertisement strategies. Lastly, Food Realm Inc.,

made sure to offer customers quality products at a fair price.

1.1.7 Technical/Operations Feasibility

This aspect will be explored extensively to provide a detailed knowledge of

how the product is made from scratch. In addition, this part will give information

where the company will buy the supplies of necessary raw materials, machinery,

and equipment. The process and materials used in the paper are important to

enable readers to grasp an understanding how the product will be made.

Additionally, the proponents came up with their methods of disposal of waste,

because if there is development, there would definitely be waste.

1.1.8 Financial Feasibility

The income statement shows that Food Realm Inc. is projected to incur a

loss amounting to -53,976.97 pesos only on its first year of business operations

in 2021. Afterwards, it is projected that the business will gain profit starting in

2022 with a projected net income of 188,350.19 pesos. The balance sheet

indicates good net worth and financial position of the company. The business is

5
predicted to have the return on investment by 2022 as presented in the Financial

Study.

1.9 Socio-Economic Feasibility

This chapter includes the socio-economic benefits of the proposed

product. The project's aim is not only to earn high profits but also to provide the

consumer with quality and cleanliness of the goods, as well as to benefit the

country, economy and community, and these can be achieved through tax

payments and job creation. It is important that small entrepreneurs should realize

the worth of innovating and starting a business that would largely contribute to

the socio-economic development of the country.

1.2 Conclusions to Feasibility Study

The purpose of the proposed business is to know if the business will generate

income. The mindset of the proponents is set to earn income from the partnership. A

survey was conducted to see if there was a possibility that the business could thrive in

the business area. When business planning is done right, it connects the dots in

business so business owners could get a better view of the picture. Strategy is

supposed to relate to tactics with strategic alignment. Also, business planning helps

keep track of the right things, and the most important things. Allocating time, effort, and

resources strategically is important to make a good planning process. Proprietors

regularly review assumptions, track progress, and catch new developments so they can

adjust. Feasibility helps the future business process set expectations and tracks results.

6
It is a tool for regular review of what is expected and what happened. Good work shows

up as well as disappointments. The business plan is a fundamental tool and is

necessary for a start-up that needs a sense of direction. One of the reasons a business

plan is so important is that it is one of the main requirements of venture capital, firms,

and banks interested in investing funds in businesses. The business plan usually starts

with an executive summary, followed by a description of the business in detail, including

its products and services, and a section on how the business is going to achieve its

goals from operational, financial, and marketing standpoints. The business plan also

typically includes a brief look at the industry within which the business will operate and

how the business will differentiate itself from the competition.

positions in the business, the business name’s roots, and the business area’s

development in terms of GDP or the value of all finished goods and services made

within a country during a specific period. This will assess the right target market, also to

decide the product supplier, and the proponent’s utilities provider.

2.2 Name of the Firm/Proposed Name of the Firm/Project

The business was named Heat n’ Eat for the following reasons:

a) The firm is going to sell electric lunch box that is made of stainless steel, non-

toxic, durable, and convenient;

b) This can be very helpful for the people who are busy, health-conscious and it

even saves time and money;

c) It is like eat and run. Like "Heat n’ Eat" users will not need any other equipment

like microwave. Because even when the food is in the cold, it quickly warms up

and is ready to eat right away; and

d) Customers can enjoy the convenience of cooking lunch right at their desk or on

their way to work without having to worry about finding space in the office fridge

or fighting for microwave time.

2.3 Type of Business Organization

The type of the business organization that the proponents will put up is general

partnership. It means that the profits and losses are shared by all partners and all

parties are responsible for all commercial debts. The proponents should make sure a

great organizational model is used and developed. Along with the proponents having

general partnership, the proponents will portion out the main work of being administrator

for the company to pursuit and the other workers to do their job.

2.4 Location of the Business/Office

10
Figure 2.1: Location of the Office

The exact location of the physical store and office is at 14 Orange St.,

Novaliches, Quezon City. As seen on the vicinity map, it is surrounded by many

subdivisions, food stores, and establishments. The proponents chose this location for

two reasons. First reason is, the cost for renting the place is affordable enough and the

second reason is, the plastic molding suppliers that will mold the plastic housing of the

product is near that place.

2.5 Site Analysis

2.5.1 Visibility from the Main Arteries

The business will be located in 14 Orange St., Odelco Subdivision,

Novaliches, Quezon City. Novaliches is a mainly a residential area so the

business is closer to customers. A lot of other small and well-known businesses

are also located in Novaliches. The place where Food Realm Inc. will be located

is near to many landmarks such as SM City Novaliches, Holy Cross Memorial

Park, Novaliches General Hospital, STI College - Novaliches, convenience stores

like 7-Eleven and Ministop, food establishments such as I Love Milktea, Jollibee,

McDonald’s, and others, Mercury Drug, banks namely PSBank and BDO, and

other subdivisions.

11
2.5.2 Visual appeal of the Area and Surroundings

The proposed business location is located at 14 Orange St., Odelco

Subdivision, Novaliches, Quezon City, near public places like SM City Novaliches

and public market. It is an advantage to be near in schools because the teachers,

janitors, and guards can buy and use the product. Also, the parents of the

students might buy the product if they are working or for their family member.

The location is also near in a manufacturing company and other establishments.

Many people can see the company and how the product is relevant for them.

the residents and generate profit contributing to the economy. Events and social

gatherings in church, recreational places, and schools also take place in

growth.

The target market of Heat n’ Eat are the people who have busy

and/or health-conscious lifestyles. More specifically, professionals who are

always busy and health-conscious individuals are the target market of the

product. Quezon City is a highly-commercial city so, many employed and

busy people can be certainly found there. There are also lots of health-

related establishments in Quezon City such as fitness centers, hospitals,

recreational places, and others signifying that there are also a lot of

health-conscious people in Quezon City.

2.5.4.3 Utilities and Service Providers

The utilities and services provider that the company will need are,

Meralco, Maynilad, and PLDT. Meralco is the only provider of electricity, it

15
will be the source of light for the whole location. It will provide the source

of electricity since it is mostly needed in making the electric lunch box.

Maynilad will be the source of water since it is needed to have a clean

environment inside of the site. Lastly, PLDT, the provider of internet, is

necessary so that the proponents can monitor their websites and they can

endorse it online.

the position that the proponents will take over, the company will also need one

electrician and one janitor. The electrician will create wirings, install the heating element

in the lunch box, and deal with the electrical parts of the product. He will also check the

heating process of the product, product malfunction related to electricity, and the control

systems in electric lunch box. He is also responsible for assembling and packing the

products, as well as monitoring the output to check if it is in line with compliance

standards. The operations manager and the product manager can also help the

organizational structure groups a business’ personnel according to the purpose or the

department they work in. One of the proponents will be assigned as the product

manager while the others will serve as the events manager, the operations manager,

the human resource manager, the marketing and sales manager, and the finance

manager. An electrician will be hired for the production department. A janitor will also be

hired for cleaning and sanitizing the place.

There will be production department, marketing department, human resource

department, and finance department. The production department consists of the

manpower needed in producing the product such as the electrician, the product

18
manager who is also a proponent, and the operations manager who is also a proponent.

The marketing department is tasked in marketing and advertising the product. It

comprises of the two proponents acting as the events manager and marketing and

sales manager. The human resource department composed of the human resource

manager/owner hires and manages employees. The finance department handles the

financial-related work in the company and it consists of the finance manager/owner.

The functional structure was chosen because it is suited for small businesses

with a limited number of personnel for a start. Among the cons of a functional structure,

however, is the possibility that there may be work confusion between the departments

due to multitasking. The proponents will prevent this from happening by establishing a

good, positive, and collaborative working environment within and among the personnel.

compensate all the liabilities and expenses. Business is risky at all cost; it needs

to plan carefully and clearly to reach the peak of success. Budgeting is an

important thing throughout the business. There will have a lot of expenses and

liabilities and budgeting the money is needed to balance the money since there is

Figure 3.3: Hiring Procedure and Recruitment

Before the organization hires workers, a recruitment plan will be established. The

company will post vacancies for positions through print and digital classified ads. The

company entertains applications and subjects applicants to a series of interviews and

tests. Successful applicants will be given a list of requirements to comply. Upon hiring,

the successful candidates are oriented on company policies and compensation

package.

1. Hiring Procedure – Hiring is done in the office of the business. Walk-ins and

referrals are the processes used for hiring. The business will post through social

media to inform the public and interested applicants. The hiring process will be

done within 2 days. The first day will be for interview where the owner will hand

out documents about the product and the essentials for working to those who

passed. The second day will be for hands-on exam, the applicant will be given a

28
test about the document given and will be given a test that includes situational

questions to check if the applicant is mentally ready for working.

2. Dress code – white polo with company logo on the left chest, jeans (not

ripped) and rubber shoes.

3. Number of paid vacation days – 5 vacation days in a year. As per Department

of Labor and Employment (2014), the Labor Code Article 95 states that: those

who are hired in establishments with less than 10 employees are exempted with

the 5 days paid vacation leaves thus the number of paid vacation leaves can be

manipulated by the business owners.

4. Working hours – 8 hrs. per day during 6 am to 3 pm including a total of 1 hour

for break time. There will be 22 working days in a month.

5. Break policies – Two of the employees cannot go on break at the same time,

these policies will apply by switching. There will be 10-minute break after 2 hours

of shift, 40-minute lunch break, and another 10-minute break 2 hours before the

shift ends.

6. Work-related responsibilities – Paid hours starts 30 minutes before opening

time of the mall to ensure preparation takes place.

7. Sick Leaves – The amount of an employee’s sickness benefit is computed as:

the daily sickness allowance times the approved number of days. Effective May

credit (Section 14 of Republic Act 8282). It will only occur for three days.

Janitor 1 PHP 500.00 PHP 11,000.00 PHP 132,000.00

Since the business is managed as a general partnership, the proponents need to

fulfill positions that the business requires. Thus, they decided that their wage will come

from their share on the income that the company will generate. On the other hand, the

monthly wage is computed by multiplying the daily wage by the number of working days

in a month which is 22. The company implied that there will be 22 days in a work month

because it is enough to produce the right number of goods and it is cost-efficient. The

electrician’s daily wage is a bit higher compared to the wage of the janitor because the

job requires a more advanced skill than the other employee’s job.

lunchbox. There will also be a practical experience in making the electric lunchbox on

March 17. A team building for all personnel will be conducted on August 14, 2020.

3.8 Administrative/Personnel Facilities

The administrative facilities provide the needs and essentials for the employees

within the shift. They are also given the privilege to use them during break time, lunch

time, and free time. These include the following:

1. Office Lounge/Kitchen – a small

multi-function space inside the

31
company wherein employees can rest, cook, eat, and receive guests.

The small space is enough since the company is still new.

2. Comfort Room – the area where

employees can use the toilet or tidy up. The

right number of toilets and wash basins are

placed in it. One comfort room is enough

considering that there are only few workers at the start of business

operation.

3. Stock Room – the room where stocks are stored.

4. Management Office – the office area for the proprietors (See

Appendix p. 135).

5. Production Area – the area where the product is being manufactured.

MARKETING FEASIBILITY STUDY

This marketing feasibility study focuses on how Food Realm Inc. will market its

product to the public. There are numerous business tactics or approaches that can

introduce the product to its target market and step-by-step methods on how to induce

35
the target market to buy it. The marketing feasibility study will show which of those

tactics will be used by the business to sell the product and make it profitable.

4.1 Marketing Feasibility Objectives

 To understand the market.

 To determine whether enough demand exists to make the venture

successful.

 To ensure that the product will be enjoyed by the customers.

 To see if the product can penetrate the target market.

4.2 Market Description

4.2.1 Product Description

Heat n’ Eat is an innovative electric lunch box that can reheat food when

plugged into an electric source. The proponents call it a lunch box since it is an

appliance and a food container in the form of a lunch box. It will be manufactured

by Food Realm Inc. It is very modern and it will revolutionize the way people,

especially professionals, enjoy their home-prepared food at work. It will be the

finest kitchenware that will become popular to a lot of people. With it, people can

bring their delicious meal for later consumption and still eat it like the food is just

recently cooked. After it is connected to a power source, the food will be heated

within a few minutes. The product, which is the electric lunch box, is made of

36
plastic housing so users will be less likely to burn themselves while using it. It will

also come with a carrying handle for easy transportation, similar to a picnic

cooler. The insulation feature of the lunch box will ensure that the food will be

warm and the lunchbox will keep its temperature safe for use while the amount of

energy that will be consumed is reduced. This portable food warmer uses

constant temperature heating system, which has both the heating and insulation

function. Simply plug it to an electric source, then wait for the meal to be warm.

The electric lunch box also has 3 compartments, making it easier to take all kinds

of food separately, from snack, sushi, roll or salad, to rice, chicken, etc. The

product is well insulated to help lock in the temperature, keeping the food hot for

a longer time. Customers can heat their meal while driving and then take it along

to their work area, camping area, etc. The product is suitable for storing food to

school, office, picnic, camping and so on.

4.2.2 Product Benefits

Having an electric-heated lunchbox saves a significant amount of money

for hot lunches over takeout food or restaurant lunches. A typical takeout lunch

costs too much. Home-packed lunches are more nutritious than takeout meals.

Using a heated lunchbox at work also saves time in going to the cafeteria or

canteen and queueing in long lines. Busy professionals will not need to wait to

use the office microwave to heat up their food. Electric heated lunch boxes can

37
be plugged in at the desk conveniently and it will heat lunch just ready for the

lunch break. The product gives customers more food choices since they are not

compelled to the menu in the office or school cafeteria which are often unhealthy,

expensive, or not delicious. Eating cold sandwiches for lunch every day can be

tedious and people will quickly get tired of it. Hot lunch boxes make it possible to

bring more types of food to work without having to rely on the usual standbys,

which makes lunch time a more enjoyable experience and something to look

forward to every day. Also, electric heated lunchboxes are easy and convenient

to use. Simply plug it into a wall outlet or car adapter and it can heat lunch

typically within 30 minutes or less. Since most heated lunch boxes use a very low

voltage, overheating or burning food is not usually a problem. The food remains

at the correct temperature until a person is ready to eat. An electric heated

lunchbox can be used to prepare a wide range of meals. Of course, they are

great for heating up leftovers, which provides an additional benefit by helping to

ensure that leftover food will be consumed rather than being left in the home

refrigerator until it spoils.

4.2.3 Product Testing

Product testing, also called consumer testing or comparative testing, is a

process of measuring the properties or performance of products. The theory is

that since the advent of mass production, manufacturers produce branded

products which they assert and advertise to be identical within some technical

standard. For the product testing of Heat and Eat, the product will surely be

tested that, if it is plugged in, it will not explode. Food Realm Inc. will also make

38
sure that the heating feature will surely function so that every food that needs to

be heated will be heated. The compartments in the lunch box that the business

will manufacture are removable so that it will be easy to clean and will not cause

any damage to the product.

4.3 Market Demand Analysis

4.3.1 Industry

The business operates in the food container industry. There are numerous

commercial and non-commercial brands in the food container industry in the

Philippines. Commercial brands include Lock & Lock, Home Gallery, and many

others. Non-commercial food containers can be found in public markets, on the

other hand. Considering the various brands of food containers, the food

containers industry can also be classified according to its materials. There are

food containers made of plastic (microwavable and non-microwavable), stainless

steel, and glass. With that industry, the product will enter the market slowly but

progressively.

Projected Food Container Market Size

Figure 4.1: Projected Food Container Market Size

Source: Philippine News Agency

It is projected that the food container market size will increase by 5% from

2015 to 2020. Food container industry is a part of a bigger industry which is the

household goods industry. The market of household goods in the Philippines

has 6% yearly growth rate according to Philippine News Agency. This indicates

that Filipinos are fond of buying tools, equipment, and appliances for their home.

The large demographic group of first-time home buyers also contributes a lot to

the growth rate. Noting that food containers are just some of the household

goods that belong to that 6% yearly market growth rate, it is safe to assume that

the food container industry will be increasing by 5% within 5 years.

40
4.3.2 Demand Factors

The factors that may affect the demand of a product are: price, consumer

preferences, consumer’s income, population, prices related to the production

goods, and expectation of future prices.

According to Barnier and Chappelow (2020), the law of demand states

that the lower the price of a product is, the higher the demand becomes. Price

affects the demand of the product. Though this may not be applicable to all

products, this will be applicable in food containers because most consumers tend

to buy necessities first and buy non-essential things later. Food containers

typically offer the same features, so a lot of customer will purchase the most

affordable food container.

Consumer preferences can also affect the product’s demand. Some

consumers who prefer to buy meals at canteen, fast food, or restaurant may not

consider buying food containers. Another demand factor is consumer’s income.

Consumers who do not have the capacity to buy food containers will, of course,

tend to ignore buying them. Population has a big impact on demand. A bigger

population might mean more potential customers but it also means less budget

for buying stuff. In addition, when prices related to production goods (like plastic,

stainless steel or glass) increase, then the selling price will also increase and the

demand will decrease. Lastly, if customers expect that food containers will have

higher price in the future, then it is more likely that they will buy today. If

customers expect that the price of food containers will be lower in the future

41
maybe due to upcoming sale, discounts, and such, then it is more probable that

they will not buy today.

The current trends in the kitchenware industry are material safety,

durability, airtight covers, and material eco-friendly.

Here is the past 5-year demand of food containers in the Philippines. It is

estimated since there is no available information about the subject.

Table 4.1: Past 5-Year Demand of Food Containers

Year Quantity Demand

2015 1,250,000

2016 1,300,000

2017 1,100,000

2018 750,000

2019 950,000

Source: Food Processing and Packaging Equipment Philippines, Volume 61

Over the past 5 years, the quantity demand for food containers is

fluctuating. The lowest quantity demand of 750,000 is in 2018 while the highest

quantity demand of 1,300,000 is in 2016. The increase in population and the

inflation in the country are some of the factors why the demand for food

containers decreases at some period. Specifically, when a consumer has more

family members to provide for or when a consumer’s budget is low due to

inflation, the desire for products that are not very essential, like food containers,

decreases.

42
Table 4.2: Projected Demand for Food Containers

Year Quantity Demand

2020 700,000

2022 1,000,000

2023 800,000

2024 650,000

Source: Food Processing and Packaging Equipment Philippines, Volume 61

The projected demand of food containers is also not stable. The reason

for this is that consumers who already own food containers will be less likely to

buy another food container. The inflation is predicted to affect the decrease in

demand at some period while the rise in demand is predicted to be caused by

consumers who are starting to have a higher financial status.

4.4 Market Supply Analysis

4.4.1 Supply Factors

43
Factors of changes in supply are technological process, number of sellers,

cost of production, and expectation of future price. Technological process speeds

up production of food containers certainly, resulting an increase in supply.

When there are more sellers of food containers, the supply increases.

More sellers can harm the business because this leads to less market control

over the product, since people can choose between brands, and competitions.

Lower cost production also increases supply. Expectation of future price also

affects supply. If the business expects the future price of the food containers to

be higher, then it is more likely that it will be sold later to benefit from the higher

price.

Table 4.3: Past 5-Year Supply of Food Containers

Year Quantity Supply

2015 2,000,000

2016 2,000,000

2018 1,500,000

2019 1,500,000

Source: Food Processing and Packaging Equipment Philippines, Volume 61

The quantity supply of food containers for the past five years is somewhat

stable. The food container manufacturers knew that the demand is fluctuating so

they controlled the supply. It is also stable because not a lot of new businesses

are producing food containers.

44
Table 4.4: Projected Supply of Food Containers

Year Quantity Supply

2020 1,500,000

2023 1,500,000

2024 1,500,000

Source: Food Processing and Packaging Equipment Philippines, Volume 61

The projected quantity supply of food containers is constant for the next

five years. Though there might be new food container manufacturers like Food

Realm Inc., more established food container manufacturers will lessen the supply

that they will produce because of the increase in population and the inflation that

will highly affect the buying behavior of customers.

Table 4.5 shows that the demand for food containers is always satisfied in the

past five years and in the projected five years. Thus, the supply is always higher than

the demand. This can be seen in malls, grocery stores, and public markets as there will

always be a large number of stocks of food containers available.

The demand-supply analysis of food containers shows that there is an existing

demand for food containers. Food Realm Inc. can penetrate the market more easily

because there are already customers for products that are alike to Heat n’ Eat.

Figure 4.4: Target Market Share of Food Realm Inc. in 2020

The targeted market share of Food Realm Inc. in 2020 is 15%. The

proponents are fully aware of the strong competition in the food container

industry. Hence, they know that the uniqueness of the product compared

to the competitors’ will be the key asset in entering the market with a

competitive beginning market share. The Home Gallery is predicted to still

be leading in 2020 since it is a well-known brand of affordable food

containers. Food Realm Inc. will also just start operating by 2020 so it will

still need time to be an established brand of food container.

51
4.6.3 For Business-to-Customer Markets:

4.6.3.1 Target Market Demographic Profile

Buying a lunch box does not necessitate gender, ethnicity and age

as long as they have the ability to pay for it or someone will buy it for the

end consumer. A lot of people prefer to bring food from their home. It is

needed for daily use such as lunch box in school, office and in other

places. Everyone can purchase one if they want to. The same goes for

Heat n’ Eat electric lunch box, anyone can buy it. However, Food Realm

Inc. mainly targets the people who have busy and health-conscious

lifestyles. The business is targeting the working individuals, particularly

doctors, nurses, businessmen, lawyers, etc., and health-conscious

individuals, specifically elderly people, people who are vegan or those who

are strictly following other kinds of diet, people who always exercise at the

gym, people who spend a lot on health-related items. The proponents had

an agreement that they will target those people who are still capable of

working since these people spend most of their time outdoors. Based on

the survey (see Appendix pp. 141-143), the demographic profile of the

target market are as follows: age is 23 years old and above, location is in

Quezon City or other cities nearby Quezon City, and working status can

be employed or unemployed.

Based on Market Survey Result

Figure 4.5: Projected Volume of Potential Customers Based on

Market Survey Result

Based on the market survey result in which majority of the

participants are 21-29 years old, lives in Quezon City, and whose monthly

income ranges from PHP 10,000 to PHP 30,000, only 43 out of 100 are

willing to buy an electric lunchbox worth more than PHP 500.

Food Realm Inc. will depend on the willingness to purchase and the

ability to buy Heat n’ Eat. Heat n’ Eat electric lunch box targets the people

who are in the lower middle class because they are more capable to

53
purchase the product. The price of the electric lunch box that ranges from

PHP 800 and above is a bit impractical for those in the lower class. Those

who are in middle to upper class, however, are used to buy things that are

quite expensive. Purchasing an affordable electric lunch box that costs

below PHP 800 and a brand that is neither high-end nor prominent will be

questionable for the buyers. Whereas if Food Realm Inc. targets the lower

middle class, they get an inexpensive good quality lunch box with add-on

benefits.

4.6.3.2 Psychographic Segmentation

Understanding the target market's psychographic segmentation can

help marketers know what their customers like and have interest in and

can help marketers know how to persuade their consumers. Heat n’ Eat

electric lunch box will be a very useful product. If the business wants to

separate consumers into groups based on their knowledge, behaviors,

uses or reactions to a product, psychographic segmentation will do the

job.

Psychographic segmentation determines customers’ preference

and buying behavior. This lunch box will be an added interest to

consumers because of its additional features.

The psychographic segmentation of the target market are as

follows: shopping frequency is at least once a month, food preference is

54
eating hot meals, and purchasing behavior is willing to spend more than

500 PHP for an electric lunch box.

4.8 Competitive Analysis

4.8.1 Direct and Indirect Competitors

The business cannot afford to compete with everyone. The Food Realm is

located in Quezon City and the distribution of the product will be mostly within the

urban area such as Manila. The identified indirect competitors are also located in

that area. The direct competitors of Food Realm Inc. are the online shops that

can be found in online selling platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, Amazon and

others. The advantage of the business over those shops are: the unique alarm

feature of the product, the physical store and its accessibility since not everyone

shops online and some online stores don’t ship in some areas. For the indirect

competitors, there are Lock and Lock, Tiger, Home Gallery and Glasslock. The

four companies are popular brands that can compete with Heat n’ Eat, although

their products and Heat n’ Eat are different when it comes to features, since they

run their business much longer than Food Realm.

Figure 4.7: Market Share of Direct and Indirect Competitors

The direct competitors of Heat n’ Eat are the online shops in Lazada and

Shopee selling electric lunchboxes. It is projected that those shops hold 16% of

market share. They have the third largest market share among the direct and

indirect competitors of Heat n’ Eat.

For the indirect competitors which are the Lock and Lock and Home

Gallery, the competition is tough since Lock and Lock is known for durability

while the Home Gallery is known for being affordable. The Lock and Lock remain

its rank as the number one food container in the Philippines. The market share of

Lock and Lock is 45% and Home Gallery has a market share of 25%. The

products from the two companies are both safe to use, durable, and affordable.

68
Heat n’ Eat is likewise safe, durable, and affordable. These two brands will be the

great competitors of Food Realm Inc. so the company will aim to be innovative to

reach the level of the two brands.

4.8.3 Key Barriers to Entry

One of the key barriers to entry is the limited market. There may be

workers who cannot afford the price. The company will resolve this by keeping

the selling price low though it will still be not guaranteed that everyone will be

able to afford the product.

Another barrier is being new to the field. To start a business is a hard thing

and there will be a lot of hindrances that the business owners need to overcome,

but the owners are enthusiastic towards the venture, so they may succeed if they

will do their best.

4.8.4 Uniqueness of the product compared to its competitors

Food Realm Inc. came up with the idea of an electric lunch box that

alarms when the food is hot enough which is unique. Although there are products

that are similar to Heat n’ Eat, Heat n’ Eat is more unique because of its features

such us, the alarm that rings when the food is ready, being convenient to bring

since the materials are lightweight making the product weigh 509 grams only, the

design is trendy and stylish, the durability and the price of the product. Heat n’

69
Eat is a two-layered electric lunch box, the cord is detachable so it can also be

used as an ordinary lunch box and it has a bag for the lunch box. It became

unique compared to the competitors since it is convenient and easy to use.

4.9.1 Product

(front)

(back)

Figure 4.8: The Product

4.9.1.1 Primary Features

The primary feature of Heat n’ Eat (electric lunch box) is it reheats

meals so that people will enjoy eating their food at its right temperature.

These lunchboxes come with a handle for secured transportation. It also

has dividers for 3 compartments so consumers can heat one main dish

and two side dishes at the same time. The electric lunch box is

70
professionally built and features a handle for a convenient and easy way

to carry it to different places. It is also made of plastic for it to be sturdy

and durable enough for hassle-free transport.

4.9.1.2 Added value Compared to competitors

Heat n’ Eat (electric lunch box) has other features that are different

from its competitors. It has enough serving capacity for a single person.

The handle makes it easy to carry and the lid maintains the hygiene level

of the food. The unit is detachable, and the cover is safe for dish washing.

The lunch box is lightweight at 509 grams so, even if consumers are

planning to take it every day to work, it would not be an inconvenience.

Food Realm Inc. also presents itself with an attractive logo and tagline that

will create an impact and be remarkable to the customers.

71
4.9.2 Place

Figure 4.9: Place

The company will be housed at 14 Orange St., Odelco Subdivision,

Novaliches, Quezon City and will be sold directly at the same location. When the

customer is from a far location, Food Realm Inc. can deliver it right to their

doorsteps. The location is near schools, malls, offices, and other business

establishments. There are also many people passing by the area which is an

advantage for Food Realm Inc.

4.9.2.1 Distribution Channels

product will be sold directly to the customer in Novaliches, Quezon City.

Apart from that, the company will also distribute to malls, grocery stores,

and appliance stores to gain more profit and customer.


72
4.9.2.2 Strategic Placing in the Market

Food Realm Inc. will be located in 14 Orange St., Odelco

Subdivision, Novaliches, Quezon City, near malls like SM City Novaliches,

offices, schools and many more. Since the target market are workers and

people who are health-conscious, putting up a store near this kind of place

will be an advantage for the manufacturers. In addition, one of the target

markets are workers. Novaliches, Quezon City is a busy place and might

be a wide target market size for the business and a higher chance of

gaining sales than in other places.

The uniqueness of the product will get the attention of the

consumers because the product is not just an ordinary lunch box but a

heating lunch box.

4.9.3 Promotion

4.9.3.1 Advertising and Promotion

The company has opted to use social media and other conventional

sales methods such as circulating brochures and flyers as means to

promote, advertise, and market the product. They came up with this idea

simply because they think that the best way to promote and disseminate

their product’s image is to optimize the use of technology with the aid of

73
social media. The best way to promote and disseminate information about

the product is to optimize the use of technology through social media. It

will be more cost effective to make the product known through social

media and other digital platforms because almost all are connected to

social media.

4.9.3.1.1 Advertising

In advertising the product Heat n’ Eat, the company will use

a less consuming advertising technique like giving out flyers,

brochures, and highly personal advertising through social media.

By that procedure on advertising the product, the person who will

be given a flyer, brochures, and view it through social media, will be

given details about the product. Also, by this advertising technique,

the company is persuading their target market purchase the

product.

attract new customers to buy the product and it can minimize the

advertising costs. Promo coupons will also be used whenever the

product goes on sale (see Appendix p.136). Lastly, Food Realm

Inc. will stage a demonstration on how to use the product.

4.9.3.1.3 Personal Selling

There will be no personal selling for Heat n’ Eat. Only in-

store selling will be done because this marketing strategy is not the

product and share it with their friends or followers. Also, having a

social media page will persuade consumers to purchase the

product because they could see the features of the product, how to

use it, and its price.

5.6 Project Layout

5.6.1 Location

Food Realm Inc. plans to rent a small space for production or warehouse

in Quezon City. It will be located in 14 Orange St., Odelco Subdivision, San

Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City. It is a studio type with a floor area of 60

square meters. It already has 1 toilet and 1 kitchen. The business will pay

separate electric, water, and internet bill. The terms and conditions include 2

months deposit 1 month advance payment, must issue post-dated checks, and a

90
minimum of 2-year contract. 60 square meters will be enough for office and

manufacturing space since the only part that will need big space is the display or

the shop itself. A small-space office will be enough for the electrician to

manufacture the products.

Figure 5.5: Office Interior

Figure 5.6: Vicinity Map

5.6.2 Floor Plan/Intended Space

The intended space will be leased or rented. There is no renovation

required although office furniture and equipment are much needed to be bought.

The business owners chose a small spaced location because the business is in

its starting period. Half of the space will be the manufacturing space which

91
includes the production area, the stock room, the management office, comfort

room and lounge/kitchen area. The other half will be the shop. Renting or buying

a bigger space is not needed and will just increase the expenses since a bigger

space requires a larger amount of money. Food Realm Inc. will allot 30,000 PHP

as first-time payment for the 2 months deposit and 1-month advance because the

monthly rent amounts to 10,000 PHP

5.8 Equipment and Tools

The equipment that the supplier of the plastic housing needs in making the Heat

n’ Eat plastic compartment is a plastic molding machine. Plastic molding machine is

used to produce thin-walled plastic parts for a wide variety of applications. In this case,

it will be used to produce the plastic housing of the lunch box. It produces parts by

injecting molten material, in this case it is raw polypropylene plastic, into a mold.

94
Figure 5.9: Plastic molding machine

The tools needed in making the Heat n’ Eat are soldering iron, soldering lead for

aluminum, pliers, and precision screwdrivers.

Figure 5.10: Tools

Soldering iron – a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it

can flow into the joint between two workpieces. It will be used to make the wirings of the

lunch box.

95
Soldering lead – a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal

workpieces. It will also be used to make the wirings of the lunch box.

Pliers – a hand-operated tool used for gripping something round like a pipe or rod or

twisting wires. It will also be used to make the wirings of the lunch box.

Precision screwdrivers – come with several interchangeable heads that can be switched

in and out. The screwdrivers will be used to screw the plastic housing and the food

compartment together between the wirings.

5.9 Standard Operating Procedure

The protocols are critical for improving and protecting the company in any

manufacturing problems and failures possible. Governing corporate regulation exercises

direct and indirect control.

The regulatory limits tend to be broken down into economic regulation and other

regulatory forms. The aim of the standard operating procedure is to describe how to

perform a routine activity, that routines may accomplish or be done by the employees

for the consistency of the business. In that way, it can help the employees to

understand their job process, practices, and procedures. Also, by this standard

operating procedure, the employees can save time and money, provide the consistency

of the business, improve communication to their employees, and they create a safer

work environment. For our company these are the standard operation procedures that

employees must complete:

96
 Proper Etiquette – It covers how the employees handle each other and how

the work environment is structured.

 Proper Attire – It is one of the first things to be found during a meeting or an

office visit. In our Food Realm Inc., every employee must wear their informal

attire. Also, in the proper attire, they have their gloves and mask for some

safety precautions in manufacturing our product.

 Proper Training – It is important for our employees to have a training in a

reason that our employees will improve and develop their skills when it comes

to communicate with their co-employees but also to our beloved consumers.

5.10 Waste and Waste Disposal Methods

Table 5.3: Waste Disposal

Days
Monday Manufacturing the Product
Tuesday Collecting the biodegradable waste for
recycling and the non-biodegradable
waste that cannot be use or recycle
again.
Wednesday To convert and to reuse the
biodegradable waste

Thursday Manufacturing the Product


Friday Discharging of the waste to the garbage
truck

97
Waste disposal has substantial impacts on the environment, which may cause

severe problems. The waste generated in business is the needless materials that are

used to create in the product. Chemical waste that ends up in landfills can affect the

health of the people living near to the polluted area, as excrete hazardous chemicals

can leak into the soil. The ozone layer is also damaged by wastes burned in landfills

that emit gas and chemicals. Whenever the waste management is inadequate, the

toxins that migrate into the soil often harm animals that eat grasses. It also affects the

local economy, as a city with weak waste management would definitely not draw visitors

and investors For, the project proponents waste disposal method they will conduct a

proper segmentation of garbage. This proper segmentation that will be conduct by the

project proponents by placing trash bins inside the workplace and in the store and each

trash bins will be labeled by biodegradable and non-biodegradable. By conducting the

proper segmentation of the biodegradable waste, the project proponents can recycle or

reuse it and it helps to protect the environment.

5.11 Intellectual Property

5.11.1 Trademark Process

Trademark will be used to identify and differentiate Food Realm Inc. from

others that also produce similar goods. In simple words, having a trademark is a

leverage that influences the people’s view in purchasing the product. Here are

the steps that the company needs to take to register the trademark:

98
1. Application for Registration of Trademark (cost: PHP 1,200.00; since the

company is a small entity)

2. Formality Examination

3. Substantive Examination

4. Publication for Opposition (for 30 days, cost: PHP 900.00; since the company

is a small entity)

5. Issuance of Certification of Registration (cost: PHP 570.00; since the company

is a small entity)

(Indirect Material + Indirect Labor + Overhead)

The table shows how the manufacturing overhead cost per unit is

computed. The manufacturing overhead cost per unit (PHP 538.32) is computed

by adding the indirect material (PHP 394), indirect labor (PHP 125), and the

overhead costs per unit (PHP 19.32) together. The indirect material cost per unit

is calculated by adding all the costs of indirect materials. Dividing the total

monthly indirect labor cost (PHP 11,000) by the approximate number of monthly

production (88) would get the indirect labor cost per unit. The overhead cost per

unit is the total overhead cost (PHP 1,700) divided by the approximate number of

monthly production (88).

Chapter 7

SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY

Every company has one purpose and that is to decide how the business

maximizes income. Another aspect is the socio-economic aspect and should be given

importance to the industry.

This chapter of the feasibility study focuses on the company's social and

economic obligations and evaluates its responsibilities towards the workers, community,

government and environment.

126
7.1 Socio-Economic Feasibility Objectives

 To determine whether a project, research study or future business should

continue or not.

 To identify the efforts the company is making to help achieve the goal of

economic progress.

 To know the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities of the

company.

 To determine the four external factors which is the PEST that will affect the

business performance and activities.

7.2 Regulations / Environmental Issues

7.2.1.1 Project Employees

There is no need to hire project employees. Project employees are

employees who will only be employed for a specific time or until a project ends.

The company will only hire regular employees.

7.2.1.2 Government

Government inaugurates regulations and rules in running the business.

Among the government regulations is to report income and pay taxes; others

regulate how they dispose of their excess materials or waste.

127
7.2.1.3 Proponents

The proponents or the researchers might help the business to promote the

product. Also, they might be able to know the perspectives of the target market

for the betterment of the organization or group. The suggestions and decisions

about the target market will also be done by the proponents. Additionally, the

proponents may be able to identify if the new product will be effective.

7.2.1.4 Community

The community has an effect on the business. The community might not

be the target consumers but they can also be employed in the business. As the

community engages in the business, its support will generate a positive

reputation, attract new consumers, and encourage customer’s loyalty. The

community implements a unique support network for businesses and individuals

that lends something that we all look for: a sense of belonging, that feeling of

being connected and accepted by your peers is important for our personal growth

and development. Lastly, the involvement of the community in the business, it

increases brand awareness; it makes your business visible and allows the people

to get to know your product better.

7.2.1.5 Customers

The company's target is the benefit of the customers. Food Realm Inc. will

produce Heat n’ Eat electric lunch box for people who have a busy lifestyle and

128
to help save money on meals. With the help of Heat n’ Eat electric lunch box, it

ensures that food quality is at its best.

7.2.1.6 Other Beneficiaries

7.2.1.6.1 On Population

Population in the country has a huge percentage to increase, the

physical store of Food Realm Inc. is located in a place where many people

pass by and public utility vehicles traverse. There are only few possible

competitors within the community. Using this as a leverage will help boost

the sales.

7.2.1.6.2 On Ecology

The business will help save the earth by beginning with proper

garbage disposal. Segregation will be observed to make recycling and

detection of usable wastes easier. Using the product will also reduce

plastic waste from other plastic food containers since the product is

reusable. The business also has a plan that the plastic housing will be

made up of recycled plastic in the future.

7.2.1.6.3 On Infrastructures

129
The proposed business by the Food Realm Inc. does not need

infrastructure as of the moment. So, the business will not affect any

existing infrastructures. The small space is sufficient for the business

since the business is still not a large-scale company.
