Market Analysis/Environmental Audit

A. Environmental Audit

One & Only Café operates within a dynamic market environment influenced by
various external factors. For us to continue providing our products and services, firstly,
we must follow the Philippine government guidelines, including food safety, hygiene
standards, business licensing, and labor laws, which necessitate strict compliance to avoid
legal issues and ensure smooth operations.

Secondly, after ensuring that everything is in order, we conducted research on the


different things that customers commonly desire in a café. Aesthetically pleasing design,
affordability, broad selection of drinks, generous selection of food items, great playlist,
reward programs, peaceful ambiance, and accessibility (Genske, n.d.). For us to stay in
the market, we aim to provide these competitively. In addition to those qualities of a café
that follow trends, we aim to provide the first ever anti-procrastination service in the
Philippines, which will become our edge over other cafés.

B. Product Life Cycle Identified

One and Only Café highlights its unique service that helps people avoid
procrastination and finish their tasks. In addition to that, our café offers an area that
promotes relaxation. This service is inspired by the Manuscript Café in Tokyo, Japan.
And because we are the first café to introduce this service in the Philippines, our product
cycle is still in the introduction stage, wherein we are still starting to promote and
introduce our service to the market.
Consumer Analysis Profile

A. Market Segmentation

One & Only Cafe is a cafe that highlights its service more, and because of this, we
ought to use demographic segmentation as we are looking for consumers within specific
ages and groups. Our target consumers are young customers from 18 to 29 years old or
older, including both men and women, as they are the usual ages that visit cafés
(Boyarsky, n.d.). As a café that is open to all ages and groups, we do not place a specific
emphasis on our consumers' income, but we are eyeing customers who are more likely to
do their studies or work in a cafe. In addition, as much as we wanted to receive tourists or
customers from other cities, we would first like to start receiving customers within the
area of Maragondon, Cavite.

B. Consumer Demographics

One and Only Café caters to a diverse demographic; naturally, we do not place
emphasis on a specific age, but according to Katherine Boyarsky, most of the people that
patronize cafes range from the ages of 18 to 29 years old, so we put them as our primary
target customers. Our customer base spans all genders, reflecting the inclusive nature of
our establishment. Professionally, we serve a wide range of customers, from students to
working professionals, accommodating the needs of those seeking a comfortable space to
study, work, or relax. Educationally, our patrons range from high school students to
college graduates, ensuring that our offerings and atmosphere appeal to a broad spectrum
of educational backgrounds. This diverse demographic underscores our commitment to
providing a welcoming and versatile environment for all our customers (Boyarsky, n.d.).

C. Target Audiences
One & Only Café's primary target audience is, naturally, coffee lovers and people
with a sweet tooth, because they are the ones who will benefit the most from our
products. But since we put emphasis on promoting our service, our target audience
becomes students and workers who are more likely to finish their workloads in a café, as
we need customers who are not just drawn by our products but also need our services.

D. Market Research

Cafés have become one of the comfort places for Filipinos. According to Justin T.
Ocenda and Wiljoy P. Damandaman of Inquirer.net, cafés have become the personal
space of most Filipinos. As people spend their time outside, they particularly go to the
nearest or most known café. Working people tend to do their jobs in a place where they
can relax. Even students are present at any café with their phones and laptops on a table
with the food and beverages they bought. Cafés provide free Wi-Fi, so they’re a favorite
hangout for learners, employees, and anybody else who needs access to the internet.
Many individuals increasingly use cafés as productive workplaces. It was created and
developed not only to be visually appealing but also to provide an environment for
individuals to take pleasure in. Furthermore, when people can’t think of anything else to
do, they resort to a date at the café or coffee shop. In reality, initial interactions typically
take place at a café since it allows individuals to settle down and become acquainted with
one another (Damandaman, & Ocenda, 2023).

According to the anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of coffee,


consumers are predicted to increase by 8.22% from 2023 to 2028, and the industry is
anticipated to expand during the next few years (Kumar, 2024). Furthermore, according
to Esquires, coffee shops are good for business because, first, they have consistent
growth, and second, they have long-term potential as they have low chances of being
denied (Esquires, n.d.). Through this research, we can prove that a café has a lot of
potential in the Philippines and a high success rate.
Strategy-Ansoff’s Matrix

One & Only Cafe offers high-quality service for all, especially students and
professionals who are having a hard time managing their time to finish their tasks or
workloads. It is simply unique among other coffee shops because of its products, services,
features, etc. In simple words, One & Only Cafe will be the one and only cafe that offers
its target market the first anti-procrastination service, the “it must be the place” feeling
and experience that they must have. In view of the fact that this business offers an unusual
anti-procrastination service that is new to the market but still targets an existing market, a
product development strategy suits best. According to Alexander S. Gillis, product
development includes a product's entire journey, from the initial idea to its market release.
In addition, product development is the process of strategizing, brainstorming, planning,
building, releasing a product to market, and measuring its success, as stated in an article
in Aha!. Basically, product development is the introduction of new products or services
to an existing market. Some factors that were considered for this strategy are: being the
first and unique anti-procrastination café in the Philippines; and its existing market, as we
target the market of the usual café (Aha! Labs Inc., 2024).
Market Mix Analysis - 5 P’s

A. Product

The coffee shop industry is thriving, fueled by increasing consumer demand for
specialty coffees, delectable desserts, and unique cafe experiences. According to a study
by the Philippine Information Agency, the Philippines is the second-largest consumer of
coffee in Asia, with a projected increase in coffee consumption to 3.78 kilograms per
person by 2025 (Regan, 2023). In addition, it is stated that spending on coffee is forecast
to grow by an average of 8.1% per year from 2022 to 2025 (BMI, 2021). This significant
consumption rate presents an excellent opportunity for new businesses to cater to the
growing market of coffee enthusiasts in the country. Furthermore, working people are
more likely to do their jobs in cafés where they can relax. Even students are influenced to
work at any coffee shop with their phones and laptops on a table with the food and
beverages they bought. Coffee shops provide free Wi-Fi, so they’re a favorite hangout for
learners, employees, and anybody else who needs access to the internet. Many individuals
increasingly use coffee shops as a productive workplace (Damandaman, & Ocenda,
2023).

Recognizing this trend, our team was inspired to create a business that would
surely be patronized by Filipinos of all ages. Thus, the idea for a café that provides
service that helps customers be productive was born. Furthermore, we also aim to delight
our customers with a variety of food options that perfectly complement our beverages.
Our selection includes an array of delectable desserts, such as cakes, breads, and pastries.
These are carefully curated to satisfy the sweet tooth of our consumers and provide a
balanced accompaniment to our coffee. We believe that by offering a wide range of
choices, we can cater to different tastes and preferences, ensuring that there is something
for everyone at One and Only Café.

Recommendations/Conclusions

vision, and goals. We ought to bring solutions and approaches that aim to aid and benefit
our beloved “One & Only Cafe." There are numerous factors to consider to make certain
that our business is focused on a customer-centered approach. Our brand embraces the
deep love and affection we Filipinos have, and we make sure to enrich that. We
deliberately made sure to give out a welcoming atmosphere to entice our market, as well
as provide them with various selections of beverages to ensure satisfied customers and
good feedback.

make “One & Only Cafe” quite remarkable. Further discourse has proven that the
benefits of taking the approach of product development aid us in making strategies by

Philippines is the second-largest consumer of caffeine in Asia.

We offer our market a quiet and cozy abode fit to reduce any distraction from their work
and studies. Our services are not only limited to coffees and pastries but also the push to
make our consumers productive and not just satisfy their cravings.

We have gathered methods and studies and picked the most effective for our
approach. Our business locations may be considered remote areas, but although this ties
up to the peaceful ambiance, the cafe is not exposed to a lot of people, which could limit
the exposure our establishment could get. Social media shall pave the way for us. We will
utilize the internet in the best way possible to ensure we get the proper exposure we wish
and attract our target demographic. Not only that, but customer retention is also an
important aspect we value in order to keep the business running. According to a blog post
on Zendesk.com, “Loyalty programs can encourage customers to continue purchasing
from your brand. Learn why that’s important and explore examples you can emulate.”
(Black, 2024).

Because of our SWOT analysis, we were able to pinpoint the key points in
running our cafe. The SWOT analysis gave us researchers a clear view of certain
problems and negative impacts that could possibly occur during the progression of our
business, as well as its positive side.
