cheesecakes which are healthy at the same time. Que-Soy also aims to gain
popularity and patronization, as it wants to be Central Luzon's first choice for
cheesecake while maximizing customer value.

CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS
NEEDS
1. Food
Needs are the elements required for survival and mental and physical health.
Examples of which are food, water, shelter, protection from environmental threats, and
love. The business offers one of the basic necessities of humans which is food. The
business will provide a food that can be eaten at any time of the day which is a taho
cheesecake. The business wants to preserve and showcase the Filipino culture by
using taho as the flavor of the cheesecake. With this innovative product that is unique
and creative, customers will be persuaded.
2. Health Benefits
We all know taho for its rich flavor but there's more to it than its flavor. This
delicious food consists of balatong (Softened tofu), arnibal (Caramelized sugar with
vanilla) and sago (pearl tapioca). The combination of these ingredients would want you
asking for more. Eating taho has a lot of health benefits. It is rich in protein that will
help you decrease your cholesterol intake. There is also a link between soy
consumption and cancer prevention. Taho do not only satisfy our cravings but also
contribute in our health.
3. Budget friendly cheesecake
One of the driving forces that push the consumers to buy is their buying power. Is it
affordable or practical to buy this particular product? At Que-Soy, we guarantee the
consumers that every single penny that they transact to us is all worth it. We use the
best vegetables in the market but we align the prices based on our target market.
Through the help of our product managers, we are able to come up to a product with
one of the best qualities which can be bought with a reasonable price.
WANTS
1. Unique flavors
Wants are shaped by culture and personality of individuals which are a form of
human needs. Customers want and strive for innovation. They want something better
that is why we thought of a product that is unique from the competitors in terms of its
flavor. The flavor of our cheesecake would be taho in which taho is a traditional
Filipino food. We all know taho as a drink, but our product would be a food, cake
specifically. This is new because of the flavor.
6
EXPECTATIONS
1. Place
Expectations are what the customers look for and seek from the purchase of the
product. A place is one thing to consider. We assure you that our place is customer
friendly and safe for everyone. It also gives you a relaxing ambiance. A place is an
asset because it can also attract customers for the experience.
2. Promos
Special promos will be given depending on the occasion. Promos are offered to
increase sales and popularity. Examples of promos are Grand Opening Promo and
Anniversary Promos. The products will be sold with reasonable prices because one of
the target markets are students.
3. Customer service
One way to catch the customers' hearts is to show them that they are welcome.
Customer service is important because in this way, you can earn the trust of your
customers. The business is equipped with employees that are friendly and
approachable to maintain good customer relationship.

The market situation analysis serves as a guide for the business owners to
gauge if their business will thrive in a particular area. It clearly identifies potential
customers and the environment, and their impact on the company. It should be
reviewed periodically to ensure that it is up to date because it is an essential part of
any business plan. Que-Soy will use this market situation in order to identify who their
potential customers will be as well as the viability of opening the business in the
chosen area.
GEOGRAPHIC
In picking their location, Que-Soy put into consideration foot traffic. The store
will be located at Nepo Quad. This area was chosen because there are a lot of
restaurants here and it is a great opportunity to offer an after-meal snack or dessert.
Setting up shop in this location will give us different types of customers, from impulsive
to wandering customers. It is also really near residential areas like Villa Teresa and
Nepo Subdivision. Although a café is already in this area namely KCafé, Que-Soy will
offer a product which cannot be found in this store which is our Taho Cheesecake.
DEMOGRAPHIC
The geographic market situation of Que-Soy is where most types of people can be
found. Considering the customer’s needs, wants and demands, we could say that our
8
demographic include: students, workers, families, and tourists. First, Nepo Quad is
near schools like Holy Angel University and Holy Family Academy. It is also near
workplaces such as New Point Mall and the BPOs surrounding the Nepo Quad area. It
is also an area where families come to eat together especially during weekends. It is
also a place where there a mostly restaurants so there will be a significant number of
passers-by. Angeles City is also a blooming tourist destination and one of the sites
which is Holy Rosary Parish and one of the nearest food places is Nepo Quad.

TARGET MARKET
1. Students
Students in the Nepo area range from elementary to college. They are aged 12 –
23, 6th grade and above, with an allowance of P100-300 and are from Holy Family
Academy, Holy Angel University, Proverbsville School Inc., and AMA Computer
College. Nepo Quad is also near jeepney terminals for jeepney routes of Manibaug
and Sunset, which cater to students from Holy Family Academy (New Site) and
Angeles City National Trade School. We would like to target students from the 6th
Grade and up because this is when students generally, start to go out with their friends
and have allowances that allow them to do so. They are one of the most profitable
customers especially when the product has a reasonable price. They are also always
on the look-out for something new to their taste buds. Students also look for what is on
trend.

2. Employees
Nepo Quad, Angeles City is an area surrounded by different workplaces. First, it is
surrounded by schools and this is a potential dessert for teachers to have with their
coffee. Second, it is also surrounded by offices (NJN Law Office, Teresa Waterworks,
Angeles Electric, PAG-IBIG, PhilHealth & SSS), banks (Banco de Oro & Chinabank),
and BPOs (Startek, Stellar, TATA Consultancies, Top Data & Cloudstaff). These are
female and male employees aged 20 and above with a salary of 15,000 or more. Most
professionals are known to hang-out in a coffee shop to de-stress. Since our product is
cheaper than cheesecakes you could buy at a coffee shop and it provides a one of a
kind experiences which is nostalgia, it is a perfect companion to coffee.
3. Families
Our product can be for individuals or for sharing. It could also be a birthday cake
you would like it to be one. It is a great food to bond over. Considering our geographic
location, families would be one of our largest target markets because the Nepo Quad
is filled with restaurants like Dainty, New York Supreme & Gustav, where families
come to eat. These are families with an income of P20,000 or more.
4. Tourists
Our product is a new variation of what cheesecake is. It is something that fuses our
tradition and the western dessert, which is something new. It is something that is
Instagram worthy, which a lot of people nowadays look for in a product. A trend that
we are seeing currently, is that when a good photo of a product comes out it is most
likely to go viral and be sought out by customers. Therefore, increasing sales and
profit for the business. A product that is trending on social media sites will most likely
be sought out by tourists. Tourists who come to Angeles City may also potentially
recommend our product to other people and we may gain a bigger customer following.

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS
Opportunities Threats
STRENGTHS
The company’s strengths are characteristics in which they excel at. Que-Soy
will make sure to maintain their strengths and possibly add to them as time goes by.
As of now, the company’s strengths are the following:
2. Reasonable Price
Compared to our competitors, our cheesecakes are reasonably priced. Most
cheesecakes that you can buy by the slice are almost always above 100 pesos. In
pricing and developing our product, we thought of the students most specially. We
wanted a product that was reasonably priced but did not fall behind on quality.
4. Location
Our store is located in Nepo Quad which is in downtown Angeles. This is one of the
strengths of our company because it is surrounded by restaurants and cafés, as well
as offices, schools, malls, and jeepney terminals. This means that we could expect a
lot of foot traffic that are all potential customers. This also gives us a chance to cater to
customers after their meal for a dessert or a snack to have with their coffee.
5. Customer Service
12
Our store staff are trained to give our customers the best service they could offer.
We train them to treat our customers with utmost respect and to be more sensitive in
order to exceed our customer’s expectations. Our tagline is “Spreading Delight With
Every Bite” and we also apply that through our customer service. Our staff are polite,
can efficiently execute customer’s orders and always serve with a smile.
WEAKNESSES
The company’s weaknesses are what stops it from performing at its best. These
are areas where the company has to improve. Que-Soy will surely improve upon these
weaknesses. The following are the company’s weaknesses:
4. Limited Capital
Being young entrepreneurs and not from well-off backgrounds, we have
financial limitations. The limited capital forced us to skimp on other things like décor
of the store and focus on more important matters like our product’s ingredients and
packaging. A limited capital hindered us from opening the best possible store that
we could have had.
possible that ingredients will not always be priced the same because we buy from
different stores where the ingredients are available. This is also a weakness because
the same brand of ingredient may not be available in other stores and we have to buy
another brand that may or may not be of the same quality.
OPPORTUNITIES
Opportunities are the external favorable factors that could give the company a
competitive edge. Que-Soy will use these opportunities as a jumping board to further
expand the business and keep it running in the long run. The following are the Que-
Soy’s opportunities:
2. Expansion of Store
Expanding our store gives us the opportunity to accommodate more people
who come and buy from us. Expansion may also mean opening up another store at
another location. This gives us an opportunity to gain more customers from
different locations and not just from downtown Angeles.
3. Online Selling
Online selling will give us the opportunity to not just have loyal walk-in
customers but also customers from different locations. Having an online presence
will also contribute to our sales. Also, through online selling we are able to post and
get customer feedback which strengthens our credibility as a company.
4. Growth of Population
Customers are the lifeblood of a business. As the population grows, we have an
opportunity to expand our business and gain more customers. In a place with
growing population, you compete with other businesses for new customers which is
easier rather than competing with businesses for existing customers.
5. Kapampangan Culture
Kapampangans are known for their great cooking and cuisine. They are also
known as people who are open to trying new things. Hence, the different trends
that are very popular in our province. This is an opportunity because since the
14
people are willing to try new things, they will be more willing to try our product,
which is fairly new to their taste buds.
THREATS
The threats are unfavorable factors that could cause potential harm to the
company. Que-Soy will take precautionary measures against these threats to be able
to combat them when they do arrive. The following are threats to Que-Soy:
3. Perishable goods
Our cheesecake contains cream and silken tofu which are goods or ingredients
that could spoil very quickly. They are sensitive to temperatures. They may spoil if
left out in the open for too long. This poses a threat to our production because if the
cheesecake is not kept chilled it may spoil after a certain period of time. This could
also affect our sales because if a customer is given a spoiled cheesecake it may
affect our business’ image.
4. Inflation
Inflation may threaten our ability to sell our cheesecake at a reasonable price.
In inflation, prices of goods will go up or become more expensive. Prices of raw
materials may change without prior notice. This may affect us because if a price
goes up it may lessen our profit. If we continue to increase the price of our
cheesecakes, people will stop buying from us.
5. Opening of a Competitor
15
The opening of a competitor especially with the same product will greatly affect
our business. Our business can be overshadowed if we cannot compete with them.
They may be able to sell their goods at a price that we cannot match. We may not
be able to remain competitive and continue being a market contender.

welfare of their employees as well as suppliers. Conti's is
one of our indirect competitors because they serve a
variety of cakes and pastries. With this advantage, they
will be able to cater the customers and their changing

them come back and that they only hire the best employees on town.
Que-Soy offers variety of cheesecakes that are sort of made up of soya yet
ensuring all customers that it still tastes like the usual one. Que-Soy innovated
Hazelnut Cheesecake which is a cheesecake with a full blast of hazelnut chocolates
and soya milk combined that creates an unforgettable taste. Raspberry Cheesecake
as obvious as its name, is a cheesecake which has raspberries in all fillings, and this
one still combined with soya. Also, for the customers who like extra chocolate, Que-
Soy also offers Chocolate Chip Brownie Cheesecake, which is rich in soya milk and
19
brownies, yet taste that you cannot get over with it comes because it is a lighter sweet
version of an ordinary chocolate cheesecake.
Taho Cheesecake
Packaging
21
According to Stephen Denny,” if dogs don’t like your food, the packaging doesn’t
matter”. For him, packaging is just packaging and it’s the product that really matters
which is partly true. However, Product packaging plays an important role in consumer
decisions than you might think. It serves as your ‘connection’ to your consumer
because it states what your product can do and as well to your company’s value. It
communicates a lot of things. That’s why we consider a lot of things in creating our
very own packaging. Some would argue that packaging is as important as the product
itself because it’s a crucial marketing and communication tool for a business. The
purpose of the product packaging is to protect the product from damage. Product
packaging not only protects the product during transit from the manufacturer to the
retailer, but it also prevents damage while the product sits on retail shelves. The
catchier the design or looks of the packaging, the more people would like to buy it
because they were attracted to the packaging. The good packaging reveals the
company’s identity and attracts or invites new customers to get to know more about
your business.
Que-Soy decided to come up with a very simple, yet catchy and good-looking
packaging that includes the logo, label, and it is in the shade of color yellow. The logo
symbolizes the company or organization and serves as a simple mark to identify a
company’s product or service. On the other hand, the color yellow is known to increase
appetite which is obviously our priority from the brand name itself, Que-Soy. It also
triggers the feeling of happiness and friendliness which is the reason why it is used in
fast food industry. We keep in mind that the language of color is communicated quicker
in the brain than words and shape as they work directly with our feelings and emotions
that is why it is crucial for us to choose the right color combinations. The logo has the
big cheesecake picture on top and the name Que-Soy is below the big cheesecake
picture which means that our company aims to be the biggest cheesecake shop in the
area that serves the most unforgettable delicious cheesecake that you will ever taste in
your whole life. Que-Soy packaging also has the label, because it helps consumers to
gain information about the product. In the label we have here, it indicates the nutrition
facts, place of producers and the ingredients used in making the product. By indicating
this, it helps our customers who are being meticulous whenever they are buying foods.
In addition to this, Que-Soy used a jar to put the cheesecake in so that their
contribution to plastic waste will be lessened. The customers will also be able to reuse
these jars in their own homes.

Labelling
PRICE
The food prices in Que-Soy will be in moderate and affordable range compared
to known cheesecake restaurants surrounding the area. Since it is near universities,
offices, markets, and other establishments, most of the customers are expected to be
students and employees so consideration must be given, and the prices should be as
affordable as possible. The prices will not only be determined by the going rate of food
price in the area but also by the percentage of the actual food. We will ensure that our
products will be competitive in a way that they are not only affordable in price, but also
tasty, well-presented and can really meet the customers’ expectations. We will make
sure that the prices will be fair to the customers and a huge amount of fortune is not
needed to be able to dine here.

consuming and trying the products but also on gaining more potential buyers. In order
to grab this group, the best way to promote our company is through social media.
Specifically, the company starts its promotion by making its account on Twitter
and a page on Facebook, two of the most influential social networking sites and
post media such as photos that will attract customers. This is where promos are
46
also announced for the public to be aware on such events. Another is encouraging
our customers who have already experienced our products to share their photos on
Instagram where a feature of easily clicking the location tag of our business on daily
stories or posts could be seen. Through this, photos of our business are easily
compiled and viewed by future customers.

OBJECTIVE #4
Measurable At the end of each fiscal year, the cost of expenses will
decrease by 5%, which is the result of declining of unnecessary
and unreasonable expenses. Moreover, looking for employees
who are high school graduates but have enough experience and
56
are capable in finishing the tasks rather than the ones with
degrees will be administered by the Human Resource
Management Department in order to lessen salary expense by
at least 5% every month. This can be verified through the
preparation of financial statements.
Realistic It is possible for Que-Soy to reach this objective since the world
of business offers different options and alternatives a specific
business can choose from. The business can cut its expenses
by looking for a supplier who offers at least 5% discount for bulk
ingredient orders and lower price but still delivers a
commendable quality.

OBJECTIVE #5
Specific As a result, and for being known as the “Best New and Unique
Cheesecake Shop” in Angeles City. Having a market strategy
which is market penetration through marketing research Que-
Soy now will be able to open new stores around Pampanga.
And since Que-Soy used intensive promotions through having
soft opening and giving discounts, the business can probably
open 2 to 3 new stores around Pampanga.
Measurable Monitoring the population and trends of the market in the
planned new location is a great help in opening new stores.
Checking the quality of equipment and furniture (needed in the
58
new stores) before purchasing and looking for the best price
deal will be done by the Operations Department. Posters are to
be distributed to places near schools and workplaces around the
new shop’s location will be done by the Marketing Department.
Attainable Proper planning is the key to attain this objective. Checking all
legal requirements of the property before buying and
transferring ownership is important thing to consider to achieve
the objective. Having promotions and giving customers an
unforgettable experience will help you to build a new store
because others who are far from your first store will have a lot of
choices. Furthermore, good relationship with customers may
help in attracting new customers around Pampanga.

having good relationship with customers and for properly
planning. Que-Soy will be able to open 2 or 3 new stores around
Pampanga in the third year of operations. Que-Soy also makes
sure that they will give the same products and services on their
newly established stores.
Time-bound Due to adequate experience and knowledge Que-Soy is
expecting to build and manage 2 or 3 more stores within the
third year of its operations. Monitoring the population and
trends of the market where the planned new location will be
built is done from month to month for the business to know its
possible threats and opportunities.
