1. Executive Summary
For business owners and marketers knowing the differences and personality traits of each generation
is part of the challenge. Gen Zs simply do not respond to offers and marketing campaigns the same
way other generations do. Understanding Gen Z audience helps us craft the right message on the
right channels.
2. Introduction
This report is to examine and recommend how to make the newly launched Delicosa restaurant
appealing to the Generation Z audience. The information in this report will be gathered from
marketing books, market reports, journals, social media and company reports. The report will analyze
Gen Z consumer behavior as well relevant marketing theories.
Delicosa will be operating within the fast-casual niche of the restaurant industry. They will be offering
fast food as well as more traditional sit down restaurants.
The market segment is focused on the distinct Gen Z group
Generation Z both spend an outsized portion of their income on eating out, mobile devices
The Gen Z researches extensively about the place they wish to dine at. They like to plan their
meal in advance.
They also look for more healthier and pocket-friendly options when dining out or ordering food
online.
Also, Gen Z prefers eating at an off-peak time if they are offered some discount. This is also
great for any restaurant owner to increase sales during off hours.
The attention span of Gen Z is also significantly less. Thus, coming up with eye-catchy
restaurant marketing campaigns that deliver the message quickly is important.
Delicosa operates within the relatively new fast-casual segment. This segment has grown in response
to the increased need for quality food, in a sit down environment, but with fast service. This is a
recognition that many of the customers are dining out because they do not have the time to cook
themselves.
The theory of Segmentation Targeting and Positioning is about dividing the market audience into
distinct audience based on different buyer traits, target the selected customer segments according to
the buyer traits and preferences then position the company’s marketing strategy to satisfy those
buyer traits and preferences.

Benefits of CJM
The customer journey map shows how customers move through the sales process (from customer
awareness to when the customer takes action). This information helps the organization in maximizing
sales and also understanding customer experience.
While engaging in a customer journey map process, its is possible to see time consuming activities
for the employees or even expensive for the organization but yet adds little or nothing to improving
customer experience. Such activities and expenses can be removed, improving operation
inefficiencies, cost saving and an improved customer experience
My CJM will consist of 4 stages of Pre-ordering (Awareness & consideration), ordering (conversion),
Consuming and Sharing (retention and advocacy) reflecting digital platforms. The map will offer a 360
degree view of customer feedback. Experience will be measured in places:
