Dear Sir,
Due to high rent issue, it is very difficult to afford the café in the Melbourne CBD. To overcome
this problem, the expert advise us to move to suburb area and where the rent are affordable. The
Project name is Cafe Shifting and it will be completed in 2.5 months. The major objectives of
our project is to shift all the material and stuff to new location at minimum cost and successfully
open the Cafe in new town. I Andrew is the owner of the café along with my two other partners,
Brian and Cathy. The estimated budget for this project is kept 7000$. There are many resources

and furniture, Stoves and electronic items, Computer system, Printers and Stationary, Café
brochures etc. however there are some requirements that are needed to be arranged like
Transport required for the shifting of the material, Labor required for material handling,
Purchasing of new items etc.
The support will be provided to our people so that all the outcomes of the project will come
eventually. The town in which the new café is about to open, I have lived there for many years
and many of my relatives are also still living in that area. So I have given the number and names
of those relatives to Brian which will help him in scouting the area to find the best location for
the new café. Also he will be able to easily find the nearby groceries stores and other markets to
support the café. Also he will be able to create new contacts with the people of that area which
will eventually help us in the advertisement and the smooth growth of the café.
Data recording is also very important. There are several types of data that will be involved in our
business e.g. the formal documents like authority letter from council, handwritten documents like
expenses and ledgers, paper based manuals and some computer based files like the designs of the
brochures etc. All of these documents are saved and recorded by converting these hard form into
soft form using scanning and putting in the computer hardware. So that they can be checked any
time. All the older data will be deleted and new folders are made for the new data. Expenses and
Ledgers are made both in hard form and in computer using Excel software.
There are several kind of strategies that can be used to implement perfect plan for managing the
financial resources and quality. One of them we used is the allowance for the contingency plan in
which we allocated the additional for the unexpected outcomes and risks. Another one we used is
the cost of quality since in our business, quantity and quality is the key to satisfy the customer so
we have added additional cost for the good quality of items to be purchased and quality services
as well. Also we took the expert opinion from a friend who did this kind of shifting few months
earlier. He also guided us to use old things and furniture. There is no need to have everything
new at new location.
The objective is to shift all the material and stuff to new location at minimum cost and
successfully open the Cafe in new town. There are several deliverables and outcomes of our
project like:
a. To ensure the successful opening of new café.
b. To ensure the quality service and food for the new customers.
c. To make the cafe proper advertisement in the new town.
d. To make people feel pleasant about the environment of new café.
All of the responsibilities are thoroughly discussed among all the members with the help of live
chat and the risk that is involved is also taken care of it with the help of risk management matrix
to ensure the successful implementation of plan and new opening of the café. We are hopeful
that our café will be successful in the new town just like the in the old town it was.

REPORT:
The project objective is to shift the café to new location and make a fresh start with new
customers. All of the millstones went smoothly with time. The major theme of this project is not
only to shift the café to new location where the rents are low, but also keep the quality and
quantity the same one so that the people will enjoy the experience of our new café. Most of the
items are in good working condition and also the good quality food stores are also present. The
opening arrangement was done successfully, all the lighting and fixtures and the inauguration
was done perfectly.
Student ID: HI180892
Name: Syed Kashif Hussain

The gap analysis has been performed to check whether how closely the goals have been
achieved:

Helpful Harmful
Strengths: Weakness:
1. Good coordinating team members 1. Lack of special sales
Internal 2. Past experience of café person.
3. Tasty food
4. Recognition form past customers
Opportunities: Threats:
1. New place with low rent 1. Competitors cafe
2. New customers
External 3. Ideal location (café in busy market)
4. Neighbors support in advertisement
5. New kind of food items in town
6. Close by stores
.
Upon performing the Gap analysis and SWOT, we deduced that our strengths and opportunities
are way higher than the threats and weakness. That is the reason all of the milestones are
achieved just as they were decided without any delay. There are no significant gaps comes in
what we set and what we achieved.
The key deliverables of our project is to ensure the successful opening of new café with no
compromise on the quality, service and food for the new customers. These are achieved
successfully since all the items are in good conditions and the grocery stores are also nearby
from where the purchasing can be done on daily basis. Also to make the cafe proper
advertisement in the new town, there are many people including the big stores managers have
promised us to advertise our café in the town by keeping our brochures on their stores. Also new
type of sitting arrangement is implemented by purchasing some new items and with the help of
lighting and fixtures gut, people feel pleasant about the environment of new café. The first day
response was great.
The costing of all the things are done in very good way. Lot of people and markets are consulted
before booking any transporter or purchasing any items. Also the amount is kept in side for the
unexpected expenses that can happen due to accidents. The total amount of expense that was
kept for the expense was 7000$ and the amount that actually did used was 6800$. This amount is
beneficial also in the future shifting procedures. In comparison of the cost to benefit, new town
will cost less amount of rent every month and also the location of the café is very ideal (in center
Student ID: HI180892

of busy market), so there are good chances of getting the huge customers daily. The financial
report are presented in front of sponsor and they are delightful with our working and the way
things are planned.
The customers in the new town can give some challenge because they don’t know about our café
before. Also the competitors in that town will be a hurdle in the success of the café. That
milestone is somewhat been challenging right now, and in order to get it done, we need to hire
some sales person that have experience particularly in that town related to this food and café
promotion
The project cost vs benefit analysis is highly appreciated by the funding sponsor and the café will
get successful in the new town due to its ideal location, low rent and grocery stores nearby.
These benefits are easy to achieve since the partners have done pre working in the new town.
Also the timescales are properly managed for each task, none of the task is missed during the
planning phase. This is the benefit of live discussion before the commencement of work.
