C. Background of Entrepreneurs
V. PRODUCTION PLAN
A. Manufacturing Process
Step 1: Cleaning
Raw, green coffee beans enter our factory. The coffee beans are then sieved and cleaned
by our machines to remove any unwanted debris that may have found its way into the batch of
beans.
Step 2: Roasting
Next comes the roasting of the beans to turn them from their original green colour to
the more familiar brown in our industrial coffee roaster machine. The beans are heated to 230°C
(446°F) to produce a medium roast, after 10 minutes of roasting, the beans are then rapidly
cooled to 40°C (104°F) to avoid further cooking from the residual heat.
Step 3: Grinding
The roasted coffee beans are now sent to be ground in our industrial roller-mill grinder
machine. When coffee is ground, a lot of the aromas are lost in thin air. To minimize the loss,
the aromas are collected by pumping nitrogen gas through the grounds, capturing the aromas
on their way through.
Step 4: Brewing
In this step, the grounded coffee is now mixed with water to brew much like you would
do at home using a French press.
Step 5: Evaporation
The brewed and filtered coffee is sent to our giant evaporation tank that spans the entire
floors of our factory. The coffee is condensed 50 percent to produce a thick, syrupy coffee
extract. As we heat the liquid stock, it reduces and intensifies in flavour.
Step 6: Freezing
The coffee extract is then pre-chilled through our heat exchangers in preparation for
freezing. Once successfully chilled, the syrupy coffee extract is poured onto our conveyor belt
that makes its way into a giant freezer with temperatures between -40°C and -50°C (-40°F and
-58°F).
Step 7: Sublimation
Stacked up in trays, the granules are driven through our low-pressure tube for several
hours to undergo sublimation.
Step 8: Aromatization
The coffee granules are now collected, and the aromas that were captured with nitrogen
gas will be readded. The aromas are sprayed over the granules as they pass through into our
giant sacks.
Step 9: Packaging
The freeze-dried coffee is now ready to be placed into our packaging options like
sachets, flat-bottomed bags, stand-up pouches, and glass jars using our packaging machines.
Each packaging option contains an airtight seal to preserve its freshness, and our brand name,
logo, and relevant information such as the manufacturing date, expiry date, and ingredients
label are attached using our Labeling machine.
B. Physical Plant
The Hestia Corp. was located at #495 Boni Ave, Mandaluyong, 1550 Metro Manila,
Philippines in front of Rooms 498 building.
The "Production Plant" will be our physical plant because it is the only facility where
the majority of our operations will take place. We will also rely on our suppliers for the
materials and resources required to keep our business running. Coffee beans, Packaging
materials, and other ingredients are examples. Future plans and developments will include the
major purchase of a Big Physical Store establishment for facility management.

A. Pricing
Since our business is manufacturing, we chose to use a bundle pricing strategy where
both of us (HESTIA Corp.) and the buyer will have a big benefit in buying our products from
us, buyer will get a discount when they buy boxes of our products, and get a huge amount of
profit, while us will easily gain more buyer around the country because of our low-price bundle
product without losing our capital. As our products have multiple packaging options for our
instant coffee, each with a different quantity and price allows us to offer customers the
flexibility to choose the option that best suits their needs and budget. A bundle is a suitable
pricing strategy for our products as it can create a perception of value for our customers. When
they see multiple products bundled together at a single price, they may feel they are getting a
better deal compared to buying each product individually. This can encourage larger purchases
of our products because the focus of our Pricing Policy will be the Odd-Even Pricing Tactic,
where we’ll end our prices with odd & even numbers. We believe that it’s effective as we’re
aiming to have a maximized profit and increased sales.
B. Distribution
Our distribution strategy starting with the producer going to the wholesaler, then to the
retailer, and finally to the consumer, is a common distribution channel known as the
"Producer-Wholesaler-Retailer-Consumer" model, or more simply, the "Supply Chain
Distribution" model, will play a significant role in our business. We will be able to gain various
sales by gathering wholesalers and retailers and will have an advantage over our competitors
due to our strategies. We believe that this provides us with a better opportunity because we can
distribute our products to both large and small markets including resellers, grocery stores,
convenience stores, and neighborhood retail stores in the retailer’s section. Another good
example is that we can supply and provide all public and crowded places because our target
market is mostly people between the ages of 15 to 70, so we would distribute our product to
those people who really need our instant coffee products due to their health consciousness.
C. Promotion
The idea of our promotion is to create awareness and attract and induce the consumers
to buy our products, in preference over others. Our Promotional Mix focuses on sales
promotion, public relations, and advertisement. We will be following the Integrated Marketing
Communications Strategy where we’ll endorse our products via commercial advertisements in
radio and television channels, market them on different social media platforms like Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, and Guerilla Marketing Strategy for Publicity. Aside from
advertising and social media marketing, we will be offering gift sets like eco-friendly coffee
bundles and brewing kits as a part of our sales promotions. As a starter, we will also do free
tastings or samples which will be held in places where people usually stop and go by like
grocery stores and malls to give the consumer a chance to see how well they like our product.
D. Product of Forecast
The challenge over the next three to five years is to define innovative product offerings
that can sustain growth and attract more customers. Our possible innovative product would be
capsules of single-origin coffee that are compatible with popular pod-based machines.
Customers would be able to enjoy a premium coffee experience at home with this variety of
exotic coffee beans sourced from around the world. In order to provide a truly exceptional
customer experience, our company could offer customers a coffee subscription service,
allowing them to receive new and unique coffee capsule varieties on a regular basis.
Furthermore, these capsules could be packaged in eco-friendly and sustainable ways to align
with environmental awareness. By focusing on these innovative products, our business aims to
capture a niche market segment and establish itself as a premium, sustainable, and convenient
coffee solution, driving substantial revenue growth over the envisioned 3 to 5-year period.
A. Form of Ownership
Hestia Corporation will operate as a corporation, with ownership distributed among key
stakeholders. The founder will hold the majority share, with a 60% ownership stake, serving
as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Head of Product Development. A co-founder will
contribute significantly to operations and strategy, holding a 20% ownership stake and serving
as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head of Operations.
To enhance external partnerships and benefit from valuable expertise, CaffeTayo, a
strategic investor, will join the corporation, holding a 15% ownership stake and playing a role
as an Advisory Board Member. Additionally, a 5% ownership stake is allocated to an Employee
Stock Option Pool, earmarked for attracting and retaining key talent through stock-based
incentives.
This ownership distribution structure, including the collaboration with CaffeTayo, aims
to align interests, provide a clear governance framework, and foster a collaborative
environment for the sustained growth and success of Hestia Corporation.
