The business name, Sorososy Food Stall, is coined by combining the first
word of the proponents’ barangays, Sorosoro, and the Tagalog term, ‘sosyal’ as they
all shared a common characteristic of being fancy or classy when it comes to fashion.
It was founded by nine entrepreneurs who shared an equal amount of Php 55,000.00
as an initial investment in starting their business ventures. They are a set of
individuals who are motivated and eager to find something they can offer to the best
of their abilities, and it was agreed that it could be better if they could sell something
to eat. Since at the moment, most people are fond of eating, especially sweets.

With this, the business offers two kinds of sosy, healthy, and budget-friendly
snacks that will captivate and satisfy the sweet tooth cravings of the customers.
These products are the Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham with two variants: Sosy
Mangoham and Sosy Ubeham. The word tormote was coined by combining the
words tornado and camote because the appearance of the product resembles that of
a tornado. Moreover, the word Fruityham came from the two combined words of fruity
and graham. And its variants, mangoham came from the words mango and graham;
and ubeham which came from the words ube and graham. Technically speaking, the
Sosy Tormote is a deep-fried spring-shaped potato, glazed with caramelized coconut
sugar and combined with naturally made yema-kalabasa (the Tagalog term for
caramel and squash) dipping sauce. Moreover, the Sosy Fruityham consists of a fruit
shake (either mango or ube), mixed with coconut cream, and coconut milk and
topped with crushed honey graham crackers, and fresh fruit slices.

xiii
The products are connected to Project GES (Green Entrepreneurship for
Sustainability) as they promote environmental awareness in two ways: first is that the
ingredients are all healthy, naturally made, and chemical-free. The second is that the
business uses eco-friendly materials in making the products’ packaging. The
container of Sosy Tormote is made of cardboard accompanied by a stick as the
handle. Meanwhile, the reusable plastic cups with a semi-hard cover that were made
of thick food-grade Polypropylene (PP) material will serve as the container of the
Sosy Fruityham. The business will also utilize biodegradable wide paper straws in
compliance with the Sangguniang Panlungsod Ordinance No. 16 Series of 2010
entitled An Act Providing for the Environment Code of Batangas City.

The business will be located at Phase 4, Block 6 Lot 22-24 Mercedes Homes
Subdivision, Sorosoro Ilaya, Batangas City which is within the vicinity of various
schools specifically Sovereign Shepherd School of Values and Learning and
Sorosoro Elementary School, where potential buyers will come from when face-to-
face classes are allowed again. Moreover, this area is accessible as it will be near
the roadside and main gate where many people pass by every day.

The target market of the business is a wide community. The products suit all
kinds of people regardless of their age, economic class, sexual orientation, and the
likes. Specifically, it is intended for consumers who are living nearby and who are
fond of eating healthy snacks.

Sorososy Food Stall will utilize printed advertising materials, a social media
platform, a grand opening promo, and a jingle as its marketing or promotional
strategies to build brand awareness; effectively reach and attract the target
customers; and develop customer loyalty with them. Printed advertising materials
include flyers, tarpaulins, a special menu, and a loyalty card. While the social media
platform to be used is a Facebook page.

Moreover, the company assured that the raw materials used are of high
quality coming from the trusted suppliers, and the manufacturing process is cost-
effective. Aside from that, the stall is fully equipped with the necessary machinery,
equipment, furniture, fixtures, tools, and supplies to ensure its smooth daily business
operations. It also obtained all of the essential licenses and permits from the
authorities, confirming its credibility in terms of legitimacy, safety, and the likes. It has

xiv
also established its regulations for dealing with retailers, suppliers, and employees,
most especially the COVID-19-related policies, which must be followed most of the
time to avoid possible conflicts and confrontations.

When it comes to management, Sorososy Food Stall is a mix of


manufacturing and merchandising type of business in the form of partnership. It is
owned by the partners who agreed to personally and jointly share responsibility for
the running of the business with the intention of dividing profits and sustaining part of
any losses. Five of them acted as employees as well and those are Ms. Diana
Dimaano as the manager, Ms. Julie Ann Dioquino as the cashier, Ms. Aiza Agon as
the bookkeeper, and Ms. Patricia Beredo and Ms. Althea Mae Hayag as the service
crew.

When the business has achieved an outstanding position in the food business
industry after several years, it is expected to be one of the top leading local snack
companies in Batangas province with the aspiration of promoting classy yet healthy
snacks at affordable prices to satisfy human needs and desires while contributing
meaningfully to the community, government, employees, and environment.
The business also discloses its five-year financial projections which run from 2021 up
to 2025. The capital invested is expected to pay off before or on its 380 th day from
the day it was started. It looks forward to have an estimated net income of Php
99,412.84, Php 143,835.46, Php 182,714.88, Php 229,485.52, Php 274,112.29
respectively from 2021-2025. Moreover, the cash balances of the business are
expected to end up with Php 474,195.44, Php 650,068.76, Php 862,445.86, Php
1,124,975.54, and Php 1,431,213.19 respectively for five years. Lastly, the financial
ratios of Sorososy Food Stall are all in good standing which leads to a high possibility
of investment opportunities.

With this, Sorososy Food stall is open for investors and partnerships with
other businesses specifically with online delivery services that shared the same
values and interests as the business. Moreover, it is open for expansion and
franchises which will greatly help extend opportunities in increasing profit and brand
recognition. The study of establishing Sorososy Food Stall is concluded feasible and
viable in all of its aspects and is therefore recommended to take its initial actions to
be realized and pushed through in the food industry.

CHAPTER I
BUSINESS SUMMARY
This chapter discusses a brief introduction, summary, and historical
background in manufacturing Sorososy Food Stall. It includes the name, location,
short description, vision, mission, goals, and core values of the business.

1.1 Name of the Business


The business name is Sorososy Food Stall which is derived from combining
the words Sorosoro and ‘sosyal’ (a Filipino translation for classy) using portmanteau.
Sorosoro is a first name of the three barangays in Batangas City, namely Sorosoro
Ibaba, Sorosoro Ilaya and Sorosoro Karsada. Since the proponents are all living
within the said areas and share a common characteristic of being classy or fancy
when it comes to fashion, they decided to use the first word of their barangays and
the Filipino term for classy in creating their unique identity.
The proponents decided to put up a food stall instead of a cafeteria or other
shops because according to researches and surveys, most people often associate
the word food stall with affordable, accessible, and ‘makamasa’ store.

1.2 Location of the Business


One of the factors that will define the business’ outcome is the location of the
business. Therefore, it is essential to find a good spot that will become accessible for
the consumers.
Considering these circumstances, Sorososy Food Stall will set its production
and office in a garage of one of its proponents located at Phase 4, Block 6 Lot 22-24
Mercedes Homes, Sorosoro Ilaya, Batangas City. The company chose this place
because it is near to various schools, specifically Sorosoro Elementary School and
Sovereign Shepherd School of Values and Learning, where potential buyers will
come from when face-to-face classes are allowed again. Moreover, this area is
accessible and easy to locate as it will be near the roadside and main gate where
many people pass by every day. It will also be faster for people to buy snacks
because it is close to the residential lots. They do not have to go outside the area to
purchase snacks.

1.3 Brief Description of Business
Sorososy Food Stall is a garage snack stall in the manufacturing and
merchandising industry focusing on selling healthy, classy, and budget-friendly
snacks, namely Sosy Tormote and Sosy FruityHam. It was founded on April 15,
2021, through the partnership of nine Grade 12 Accountancy, Business, and
Management (ABM) students at Alangilan Senior High School in fulfillment of their
requirements in Entrepreneurship, Work Immersion, and Business Ethics. Since they
are ABM students, they had background ideas on how they will develop an
innovative and unique product connected to Project GES (Green Entrepreneurship
for Sustainability). With this, they proposed products that will satisfy the sweet tooth
cravings of the customers and provide various nutrients needed to have a healthy
lifestyle. They also promoted environmental awareness to all through using healthy
ingredients and utilizing eco-friendly materials in making the products’ packaging.
Moreover, the business will be registered under the Department of Trading
and Industry (DTI) and will adhere to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Local
Government Unit (LGU) business licensing requirements and standards.

1.4 Vision
To be one of the top leading local snack companies in Batangas province with
the aspiration of promoting classy yet healthy snacks at affordable prices.

1.5 Mission
Sorososy Food stall has the mission of offering budget-friendly snacks that
will satisfy the sweet tooth cravings of the customers and provide various nutrients

innovation of products, multi-disciplinary food researches, and partnership with the
government to ensure updates regarding trends and quality of products. It is also
dedicated to impressing the customers by giving them the highest degree of service
possible and providing them with the freshest and excellent quality food at
reasonable prices and a comfortable environment.

1.6 Goals
Sorososy Food Stall aims to become popular in providing delicious, nutritious,
and affordable but high-quality snacks. This business is not just aiming to have large
sales but also to have excellent relationships with its customers and leave a great
impact on society. Moreover, the business aims to help the local producers and the

2
unemployed citizens around the community to have stable jobs. Aside from that, it is
their goal to support the healthy lifestyle of each potential customer who will
patronize the products. This business also promotes environmental awareness to all
through using eco-friendly materials in making the product packaging. By 2050, the
business will also offer more product lines and innovations as it aims to expand the
business through franchising in nearby cities. It also has specific goals in its four
aspects, and these are:

Marketing Goal: To build brand awareness through different marketing strategies in


order to attract and retain customers
Technical Goal: To produce the highest possible quality of products at reasonable
costs.
Financial Goal: To attract investors through determining its position in the market
and disclosing its financial documents.

and productivity in all areas of our business.

CHAPTER II
MARKETING ASPECTS
The marketing aspect, as the lifeblood of every business transaction, will
discuss strategic ways on how to cope up with the needs and wants of the
customers, finding opportunities regarding it, introduce and market the product,
achieve customer loyalty and patronage. Its focus is to delight the customers, not just
by meeting their expectations but rather by exceeding and going the extra mile.
Moreover, it’s about profitability. The marketing aspect serves as the basis of the
financial section through the projected market. There can be no discussion of
profitability or the other aspects of the study; if in the first place, there is no market.

2.1 Marketing Objectives

• To propose highly competitive marketing and advertising strategies


• To assess the feasibility of the food stall location
• To identify and justify the edge of the business to its competitors
• To build brand awareness and loyalty through offering innovative products
and having excellent customer service
• To determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the
business

2.2 Market Description

A plethora of snack and beverage shops have bloomed over the past few
years, due to the trend of drinking milk teas, frappes, fruit shakes, as well as eating
french fries, camote cues, banana cues, burgers, and the likes among 21 st Century
people. Based on the findings of the online market research and observation of the
proponents, customers continue to seek out new flavors, twists, and developments in
their favorite snacks. Aside from that, most of the existing products undergo
chemical processes and contain unhealthy additives which are not good for the
health of the citizens.

In light of the COVID-19 crisis where people highly see the importance of
health, they tend to focus and appreciate healthy foods more than unhealthful ones.
With this, the proponents of Sorososy Food Stall thought of products that what the
body needs more than the taste that mouth wants because it is more necessary as it
provides nutrition and builds a foundation for a strong immune system to be able to
fight against diseases. On the other hand, they also realized that if the
products to be introduced don’t have appetizing appearances and mouthwatering
tastes, consumers might still not have the urge to purchase what they offer.

In keeping in touch with the aforementioned ideas, the proponents have


settled and come up with the decision that the products that they will introduce
should have flavorful taste and at the same time, nutritious and nourishing
ingredients. These ideas and the results of their comprehensive research and
observations allowed them to innovate and put healthy twists on the conventional
camote cues and fruit shakes that people usually patronize, with the aim of
captivating and satisfying their sweet tooth cravings in just a bite and sip.

SWOT Analysis

2.4 (4) P’s of Marketing Mix

2.4.1 Product

a. Product Description

Sorososy Food Stall introduces its sosy, nutritious, and budget-friendly


snacks namely Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham, intending to bring out the highest
possible quality and healthiest snacks for Batangas City residents, particularly those
in Barangay Sorosoro Ilaya, by putting new twists to the conventional fruit shakes
and sweet potato products that already exists in the market. The Sosy Tormote is
made up of springed-shaped sweet potato submerged in vegetable cooking oil,

10
glazed with caramelized coconut sugar, and combined with naturally made yema-
kalabasa dip. On the other hand, Sosy Fruityham has two variants: the Sosy
Mangoham and Sosy Ubeham. They are made up of fresh fruit (either mango or
yam/ube) purees blended with coconut milk, coconut cream, and crushed ice then
topped with crushed honey graham crackers, and fresh fruit slices. These snacks
reflect the Filipino culture because all of the ingredients are widely known by the
citizens as they are considered as some of the Philippines’ native products, meaning
they are all made and distributed by respective Filipino sellers. The proponents also
want to highlight the hardships and efforts of the farmers, notably in Barangay
Sorosoro where some of the raw materials, specifically yam and sweet potatoes, will
come from.

b. Business Logo

Figure 12
Logo Design

The official logo of Sorososy Food Stall signifies a simple, modern, and
tempting picture of a food stall that is perfect for the snack culture among all people,
irrespective of age, economic class, sexual orientation, and the likes.

b. 1. The shapes and figures

Sorososy Food Stall’s logo comes as a trapezoidal-shaped transparent


container, with two springed-shaped sweet potatoes clipart on both sides, a food stall
ceiling on top, and the font emerging in the upper and central part which reflect the
vibrant nature of the stall.

11
The figure presented on the left side serves as the
highlight of the logo. It is a portable cup with a semi-hard
cover on top that signifies the packaging or container of Sosy
Fruityham. A heart shape is placed above the cover to
represent the company’s affection for its beloved customers
through upholding exceptional customer service, as they are
Figure 13 considered as its heart or main concentration. Looking closely,
Element #1 of the logo there are two S letters found below the lid which represent
Sorososy’s initials, SS.

The figure on the left illustrates the icon of one of the


Sorososy Food Stall’s products, Sosy Tormote. It is a deep-
fried springed-shaped sweet potato in sticks. In addition, it
gives aesthetics to the logo as it is somewhat different from
the other figures in terms of its appearance. The customers
Figure 14
will have an idea how would they offer their Sosy Tormote
Element #2 of the logo
because of this figure.

This figure looks like a food stall ceiling. It gives


meaning to the overall figure because if someone will look into
it, it will look like a real food stall. Since the lower portion is
narrowed, then this figure is complemented because it is
Figure 15 somewhat broad. The two stands found on each edge
Element #3 of the logo represent the manifestation of the proponents’ innate ‘fighting
spirit’ and embodies, to an extent, their psyches towards
business.

b.2. The colors

As for the colors, it can be seen that it domains with violet and yellow colors.
The beauty of the colors that form an eye-catching motif signifies the main
ingredients in manufacturing the products, Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham. The
color violet represents the color of ube, while the yellow color, represents the mango
and potato products. It also has a mixture of orange, which because some mangoes
and potatoes do also have a mixture of orange colors. Moreover, it has black and
white colors which give neutrality to the overall look and highlight the other colors.

12
b.2. The font

The font used in crafting the logo is ‘Bebas Neue’. The owners decided to use
this sans-serif typeface to signify cleanliness, minimalistic, friendliness, and modern.
Having to choose the exact font and its font-size also matters when making a logo
because it is also what gives a hint on what products are being offered. Looking
closely, the colors interchange in each word because they want to compliment the
overall look of the logo in nearly all ways.

c. Business Tag Line

The simple yet memorable official tagline of Sorososy Food stall is “Sosy at
its finest, healthy at its best”. The first phrase refers to the initial name of the products
themselves, which is the Sosy, as well as the fancy, sophisticated, or sosy
presentation of the products. Moreover, the customers will experience sipping and
eating the products at their finest considering the taste, smell, and overall quality.
Meanwhile, the phrase "Healthy at its best", perfectly matches the offered products
as they were all healthy, natural, and organic.

Figure 16
Business Tagline

d. Packaging
Packaging is as important as the product itself. For the Sorososy Food Stall
proponents, it is the first impression of the customers to their products. This gives a
valuable marketing opportunity, giving them the chance to promote their brand and
uphold their professional image purpose with the goal of standing out, enhance
sales, provide relevant information on the product and augment interest. Moreover, it

13
tells a whole story about the business behind the product and the product’s
environmental, social and economic impacts.

According to the survey conducted by the group, ninety-two (92%) of the
respondents said that the packaging of the products matter while eight percent (8%)
said that it does not. This means that the packaging affects the respondents’ buying
decisions. With this, they came up with the following packaging of their products,
Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham:

Figure 18
Packaging of Sosy Fruityham

14
Similar to other beverages, Sosy Fruityham is served through cups quantity
having three sizes: small, medium, and large. As presented above, it displays a
realistic photo of the packaging, featuring the logo and the environment-friendly
compositions of the materials.

First is the reusable plastic cups with a semi-hard cover which will be the
container of the Sosy Fruityham. It is made from thick food-grade Polypropylene (PP)
material which is both durable and temperature resistant. According to Si (2014),
Polypropylene is typically made through a chemical combination of monomers to
make a combination/framework of the monomer molecules. The main ingredient in
achieving this tpe o platic is polypropylene gas. It is not too thick-walled, but rigid
enough to store food, and be subjected to different temperatures without breakage. It
is often found in food containers that have a microwavable and dishwasher-safe
stamp on them. This means that the container won’t warp when heated in a
microwave. It also won’t have a chemical and physical reaction when it’s cleaned
with dishwashing liquid.
Second is the biodegradable wide paper straws measuring 10 mm extra wide
and 7.5 inches long, in compliance with the Sangguniang Panlungsod Ordinance No.
16 Series of 2010 entitled “An Act Providing for the Environment Code of Batangas
City”. Finally, stickers and eco-friendly cardboards are utilized to aid in brand
awareness, allowing customers to quickly identify the products.

Figure 19
Packaging of Sosy Tormote

15
The packaging presented above will be used for take-out orders of
Sosy Tormote. It displays a realistic photo of the packaging, featuring the logo and
the environment-friendly compositions of the materials. First is the 200 gsm paper
box which will serve as the container of the products. Second is the eco-friendly
cardboard for brand awareness, allowing customers to quickly identify them. Lastly,
the stick will serve as the handle while carrying the box.

2.4.2 Pricing Strategy

According to Campbell (2020), pricing plays an essential role in venturing a


business since it defines the value that the products are worth for the customers to
consume. It is the tangible price point to let customers know whether it is worth their
time and investment. With this, pricing strategies could shape the overall profitability
for the future.

The business will utilize promotional pricing, market penetration pricing, and
product bundle pricing to set the price of its products. For promotional pricing, prices
are temporarily priced below list price or cost to increase demand during its Grand
Opening day. Aside from that, it will set low iitial prices for five years to easily
penetrate the market and attract many buyers quickly to gain market share.

Moreover, the product bundle pricing is used to help promote the sales of
products and attract different kinds of buyers: buyers looking for deals, buyers
looking for convenience, or buyers looking for advice on items that complement each
other.

As shown above, the price of a piece of Sosy Tormote costs Php 25.00, but
when a customer purchases two pieces, it will only cost Php 45.00. And this is where
the product bundle pricing is applied: the proponents offer a pair of two Sosy Tormote
at a reduced price. Meanwhile, for Sosy Fruityham, three different servings (small,
medium, and large) are offered with prices Php 55.00, Php 70.00, and Php 85.00,
respectively.

indicate that the budget of most respondents is included within the proposed selling
price of the products. Moreover, it can be seen that they have moderately high

that would meet customer demand.

2.4.3 Place/ Distribution Channel

As Tutor2u (n.d.) highlighted that the channel of distribution refers to how a


company distributes its products to customers, with the goal of making them
available in the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantities. It is a chain of
enterprises or intermediaries that allows a good or product to transit from suppliers to
producers to consumers. It is a critical to the success of a business since it provides
for the smooth delivery of goods or services to customers. And if a business does not
source the best collection of businesses for this purpose, it can lead to unsatisfied
customers and an inadequate provision of services.

Figure 22
Channel of Distribution

Suppliers – The company has several suppliers that will provide the raw
materials and things needed for manufacturing the products.

common distribution channel, which has a wide deep reach in the market.

2.4.4 Promotional Strategy

Businesses often face challenges during start-ups and early phases of the
business. These challenges include attracting more customers, selecting a business
location, and initial lagging business sales. These challenges are interconnected, in
the sense that a good location may attract more customers, or that sacrificing sales
for promotions may draw more buyers, and so on. With this, the proponents focus on
start-up strategies in order to further address these challenges. And to achieve the
marketing goals, Sorososy Food Stall uses advertising materials as its promotional
strategy. Well-designed marketing and promotional strategies ensure long-term
success, bring in more customers and ensure profitability for businesses.

Advertising Materials

Sorososy Food Stall utilizes flyers and tarpaulin, a special menu, a Facebook
page, a loyalty card, a grand opening promo, and jingle as its advertising materials.

a. Flyers and Tarpaulin

The flyers are a cost-effective approach to inform people nearby about the
products offered by the Sorososy Food Stall, if ever that they may have never seen
the Facebook page, or may not be on social media. And because people's attention
spans are regrettably shortening, a flyer is an effective technique to capture the
attention of a potential consumer. The proponents decided to make a bookmark style
of flyers that are in trapezoid shape which signifies the glass-shaped figure of its
logo. The front page contains the photos and names of the products offered, together
with the tagline, address, and store hours. Meanwhile, the back page contains
information about the history of the stall together with the products offered.

20
Figure 23
Flyers
Furthermore, Sorososy Food Stall ‘s tarpaulin will be posted at the frontpart of
the garage and at the main gate of Mercedes Homes Subdivision to help raise
awareness about thr brand, products, and special deals offered during itss grand
opening day in a faster manner and for a cheaper cost.

21
Figure 24
Tarpaulin

b. Special Menu

As stated by Briscoe and Tripp (2012), the special menu is one of the most
important internal advertising tools that can be used to keep customers informed of
what products are available in the stall and the price per dish. Moreover, it also
allows the proponents to promote certain dishes in high visibility positions. As clearly
shown in the figure below, Sorososy Food Stall offers two kinds of snacks which are
the Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham with its variants: Sosy Mangoham and Sosy
Ubeham. They can also avail additional yema-kalabasa dip for the Sosy Tormote if
they want.

22
Figure 25
Special Menu

c. Facebook Page
Sorososy Food Stall utilizes Facebook as its major platform in promoting its
products. According to the blog of Data Exposer (n.d.), everyone knows that
Facebook continues to be the reigning champ of social media sites, as the number
one spot where friends connect and share online. More than just a meeting place for
friends, Facebook has grown into a venue for businesses to market themselves
through interaction with customers and self-promotion. The page lets the business
identify itself, not just by listing the products it offers, but also by sharing links,
images, and posts to give a better sense of it personality and character. Through this,
the customers can ask questions and reserve orders by sending private messages to
this page.

23
Figure 26
Facebook Page

d. Loyalty Card
Delighting customers inevitably adds costs. Customer loyalty matters
because repeat customers spend more on each transaction. Loyal customers are
more likely to repurchase, refer more, and try a new offering. Loyalty programs like
cards and badges are a proven incentive to make customers choose the business
over its competitors and bring them back to shop frequently (Miller, 2020). With this
information, Sorososy Food Stall decided to make and introduce its very own loyalty
card which will be given to all customers upon their first purchase in the stall. The
front page of the card highlights the title, logo, and products offered, while at the
back, there are seven tasks that they need to accomplish for them to receive an
anonymous gift.

24
Figure 27
Loyalty Badge

e. Grand Opening Promo


On the grand opening of the business, there is a special promo wherein the
two pieces of Sosy Fruityham and two pieces of Sosy Tormote will cost only Php
140.00. This means that they will receive Php 10.00 worth of discount on every order.

25
Figure 28
Grand Opening Promo

f. Jingle
The business also made a jingle as their promotional strategy. According to
Wikipedia (n.d), a jingle is a form of sound branding that composes of a short song or
tune used in advertising and for other commercial uses. It contains one or more
hooks and meaning that explicitly promote the product or service being advertised.
With this, Sorososy Food Stall will use the tune of the song “Ever After” by Bonnie
Tayler, sung by one of the proponents, Ms. Izzy Rouzvi Cabrera, and accompanied
by a dance presented by Ms. Diana Dimaano, Ms. Julie Ann Dioquino, Ms. Lyka
Villareal, Ms. Aiza Agon, Ms. Patricia Beredo, and Mr. Morie Josh Untiveros.

2.5 Unique Selling Proposition (USP)


“Sosy at its finest, healthy at its best.”

Sorososy Food Stall’s sosy, healthy and budget-friendly snacks are different
from its competitors because they are all made from organic and natural ingredients
as reflected in every aspect of their business particularly in their tagline. They also
promote environmental awareness to all through utilizing eco-friendly materials in
making the products’ packaging. Aside from that, it has innovative and marketing
materials and strategies that lead to a high possibility of attracting many customers

26
who will buy and patronize the products. After all, the proponents guarantee that
customers will just suddenly close their eyes upon the first taste.

2.5 Target Market / Consumers


According to Business Transformation Solution (n.d.), the customers are
considered the lifeblood of any business as it will never survive without them. They
allow it to focus the resources on the people that have a high potential for sales
growth, product interest, and brand loyalty. Furthermore, by gaining a better grasp of
the target market's culture, the marketing strategy may be adjusted to ensure
optimum consumer involvement. With this, Sorososy Food Stall will offer sosy,
healthy, and budget-friendly snacks named Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham that
suit all kinds of people regardless of age, economic class, sexual orientation, and the
likes. The potential buyers came from the residents of Mercedes Homes, Sorosoro
Ilaya Batangas City, and students from the two schools nearby.

2.7 Players in the Market / Competition Analysis


All businesses face competition and the intensity of that competition, whether
direct or indirect will have an impact on a company's overall potential for success.
That is why, when starting a business, it is critical to evaluate all sorts of competition
to guarantee that the company has a competitive advantage over the competitors. A
competition analysis allows the proponents to assess their competitor's strengths and
weaknesses in the marketplace and implement effective strategies to improve their
competitive edge. The potential rivals include the establishments and stores listed
below.

3.2 Technical Description of Products


Sorososy Food Stall offers sosy, healthy, and budget-friendly snacks for
everyone (regardless of age, economic class, sexual orientation, and the likes) that
will captivate and satisfy his/her sweet tooth cravings. The Sosy Tormote is a deep-
fried twisted potato, glazed with caramelized coconut sugar and combined with
naturally made yema-kalabasa (the Tagalog term for caramel and squash) dipping
sauce. Moreover, the Sosy Fruityham with its variants: Sosy Mangoham and Sosy
Ubeham, consists of fruit shake (either mango or ube); mixed with coconut cream,
and coconut milk; and topped with crushed honey graham crackers, and fresh fruit
slices.
Sweet potato (Camote). The proponents of Sorososy Food Stall use sweet
potatoes as their main ingredient in producing the Sosy Tormote. Many countries
around the world consider sweet potatoes, also known as Ipomoea batatas, as a
staple food. They are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamins, and other essential
nutrients (Ware, 2019). Scientists have found out that they are among the best

31
sources of Vitamin A, and are naturally packed with vitamin B5, riboflavin, niacin,
thiamin, and carotenoids due to their naturally orange color. As a result, they help
prevent Vitamin A deficiency, protect against cancer, guard against ulcers, minimize
the risk of cardiovascular diseases, manage diabetes and stress levels (Cañada,
2017).
Furthermore, the proponents decided not to remove the outer skin of the
sweet potatoes because of their various health benefits, most especially for the skin.
It is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients like potassium, manganese, and vitamins
A, C, and E, all of which may help improve well-being and make the skin softer and
younger (Davidson, 2019). Furthermore, according to the book entitled Healing
Foods by DK Publishing House, the high levels of beta-carotene in the sweet potato
skin benefit the human skin by fighting the free radicals that cause skin aging.
Coconut Sugar. Sorososy Food Stall owners use coconut sugar instead of
other sweeteners (like regular brown or white sugar) because of its healthier
nutritional content. According to Gunnars (2018), coconut sugar is naturally made
from coconut palm sap. It is less refined than brown sugar, resulting to retain trace
amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and other healthy plant-
based materials. It also contains potassium, magnesium, and sodium, which are all
essential for regulating your body’s water content as well as heart, nerve, and muscle
functions. Aside from that, it has a low glycemic index. Regular table sugar has a
glycemic index (GI) of 65, while coconut sugar has a GI of 35. This is much closer to
the GI of the sugar naturally found in fruits, which is around 25.
Squash. The proponents of Sorososy Food Stall use squash as their unique
flavor in making the dip of Sosy Tormote. According to Nourish by WebMD blog,
squash is a comforting, delicious, and healthy food staple during the fall season. The
many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in squash provide several health
benefits. For instance, antioxidants can play an essential role in reducing oxidative
stress, improving eye health, reducing the risk of depression, and enhancing skin
health.
Coconut milk and cream. Sorososy Food Stall owners will use coconut milk
and cream instead of processed condensed and evaporated milk in manufacturing
the products. According to Nourish by WebMD blog, coconut milk and coconut cream
are two of the many edible products made from the fruit of the coconut. Both are
made from coconut meat, but coconut cream is thicker and more concentrated than
coconut milk. They both help in lowering cholesterol and losing weight.

32
Mango. It is the main ingredient of Sosy Mangoham. Mango is a tropical fruit
from the drupe family and is called the “National Fruit of the Philippines.” It is rich in
Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which help control weight, prevent cancer and improve
digestion (Butler, 2020).
Yam/ Ube. It is the main ingredient in making Sosy Ubeham. According to
Smith (2017), yam is a staple in Filipino desserts rich in Vitamin C that helps keep
the cells healthy, boost iron absorption, and protect the DNA from damage. It is also
rich in carbohydrates, potassium, vitamin C, and phytonutrients, all of which are
important for maintaining good health (McCabe, 2019).
Sosy Tormote has only one serving: one stick of Sosy Tormote is equivalent
to 1/8 cup of yema-kalabasa dip. On the other hand, Sosy Fruityham has three
servings: the first one is the small-sized or 15 oz cup which contains 120 mL of fruit
shake (either mango or ube flavor), two and a half teaspoons of coconut milk, three
tablespoons of coconut cream, three teaspoons of caramelized coconut sugar, one
teaspoon of fresh fruit strips, one teaspoon of crushed honey graham crackers, and 1
½ cup of crushed ice. Next is the medium-sized or 20 oz cup, which contains 135 mL
of fruit shake (either mango or ube flavor), five teaspoons of coconut milk, five
tablespoons of coconut cream, three teaspoons of caramelized coconut sugar, one
and a half teaspoon of fresh fruit strips, one and a half teaspoon of crushed honey
graham crackers, and 1 ½ cup of crushed ice. The third serving is large-sized or 22
oz cup with 150 ml of fruit shake (either mango or ube flavor), six teaspoons of
coconut milk, six tablespoons of coconut cream, four teaspoons of caramelized
coconut sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon of fresh fruit strips, one teaspoon of crushed honey
graham crackers, and 1 ½ cup of crushed ice.

3.3 Manufacturing/ Production Methods


According to Kenton (2021), production methods are the steps through which
raw materials are transformed into a final product through the use of labor, machines,
and tools. It thus helps in earning profit as finished goods are costlier than raw
materials. Also, these methods are applied to maximize the raw materials and not to
waste any products.

3.5 Tools and Supplies
Sorososy Food Stall makes sure that there is enough stock of supplies
for office and store-related works to ensure continued productivity and progress.
Technically, office supplies are consumables that are regularly used in offices by the
business that is engaged in written communications, recordkeeping, or bookkeeping.
Therefore, they are considered corporate assets and will be used solely to propel the
company to prosperity and recognition (Wikipedia, 2019)

With this, the business will utilize bond papers, ball pens, clear book, stapler,
staple, printer’s ink, and first aid kit as its office supplies.

right tools and supplies to perform tasks accurately and quickly and at the same time,
to ensure that the company has all of the necessary resources to produce the highest
possible quality products. Therefore, Sorososy Food Stall makes sure that it has the
essential store tools and supplies in its cupboard. Technically speaking, according to
Merriam Webster dictionary, tools are devices or implements, especially one held in
hand, used to carry out a particular function. Meanwhile, the store supplies are
expendable items consumed in operation, specifically in production and
maintenance. With this, the business will utilize thermal receipt paper rolls, reusable
serving cups with lids, paper straws, paper boxes, sticks, sweet potato twisters,
casseroles, tongs, strainers, mixing bowls, dry and liquid measuring cups, measuring

44
spoons, knives, chopping boards, and a wooden spoon as its store tools

3.6 Raw Materials and Suppliers of Raw materials


Proper logistics of raw materials is essential for Sorososy Food Stall to
prosper and operate its production smoothly, with an emphasis on making sure that
needed ingredients are fresh and available. In broader aspects, the materials or
ingredients used in the primary processing or manufacturing of products are known
as raw materials. They are goods that are purchased and sold on commodity
markets (Kelly, 2021).

The proponents conducted surveys and researches for the market prices of
the raw materials from various stores, supermarkets, and malls to better know where
to source them at reasonable prices and within a nearby location for the production
and operation of Sorososy Food Stall. Moreover, the raw materials needed in
manufacturing the products, Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham, are calculated

45
according to the prices given by the suppliers. It is then multiplied by the quantities of
raw materials needed per day, month, or 26 days (the number of Sorososy Food
Stall’s working days in a month) and year (12 months).

3.6.1 Suppliers of the Raw Materials


A business, at its most basic level, requires suppliers to provide resources for
the products or services it sells, as well as the resources required to run the
business. The more familiar the owners are with their suppliers, and the more familiar
the suppliers are with them, the more likely they are to benefit from dedicated
service, preferential pricing, and special terms. Through this, their supply chains
become more efficient, cost-effective, and productive. In this connection, the
Sorososy Food Stall’s suppliers or sources of the raw materials are the Batangas
City New Public Market, specifically the Claire coconut products’ store, Gracia’s

46
Fruits and Vegetable store for wet and fresh ingredients, LMI Ice Store for the sacks
of crushed ice, Calypso Plastic Center Corporation for plastic and paper products,
and Sorosoro Ibaba Development Cooperative (SIDC)- COOP MARKET for dry
ingredients and groceries.

3.7 Plant Location and Floor Plan
One of the best advantages of every business is the location of its
establishment. Therefore, the proponents decided to put the business in place
wherein many people pass by, and the target market itself can afford the product. In
this way, there is a high possibility that the business can achieve the projected sales
income and can quickly get back the starting capital.
With this, the plant location of Sorososy Food Stall will be located at Phase 4,
Block 6 Lot 22-24 Mercedes Homes, Sorosoro Ilaya, Batangas City, near Sorosoro
Elementary School and Sovereign Shepherd School of Values and Learning. As per
the area’s floor plan, it has a total land area of 5.49 m x 8.39 which made it suitable
for small-sized production and creation since the site is only in the garage.

Figure 33
Plant Location

3.7.1 Description of Floor Plan


The layout below portrays the proposed floor plan of Sorososy Food Stall,
which includes the different parts together with the position of the machinery,
furniture, fixtures, and equipment needed in a food stall business type. The floor plan
layout is expected to fit a specific garage space of a two-storey house owned by one
of the business owners located at Phase 4, Block 6 Lot 22-24 Mercedes Homes,
Sorosoro Ilaya, Batangas City.
The total area of the floor plan is 43.4 m2. It has five parts: the dining area,
receiving area, working area, office room, and dishwashing area. The size of the
dining and receiving areas is 5.10m x 5.49m. The dining area consists of two round
tables with four stools each and two foldable tables with chairs on the side.

48
Meanwhile, the receiving area has a food stand-like structure of a cashier table
where the cashier deals with the financial transactions and communication with the
customers. In compliance with the COVID-19 protocols as stated in the Joint
Memorandum Circular No. 20-04-A: DTI and DOLE Supplemental Guidelines on
Workplace Prevention and Control of COVID-19, a maximum of four customers at a
time are allowed to eat in an open and adequately ventilated stall. The next part is
the working area which measures 2.19 m x 2.96 m. This is where the food production
and preparation happened before sending to the receiving area. The third part is the
office which has a measurement of 2.19 m x 2.33 m. This is where the higher officials
of the business perform financial reports, marketing tactics, operational methods, and
many more. And the last part is the disposal and dishwashing area found at the back
of the working area, measuring 0.7m x 5.49m. This is where the cleaning of
utensils/tools and the disposal/segregation of garbage happened.
The proponents chose to put aesthetic designs and decorations in their stall
because according to the results of their survey, most of the respondents prefer this
style in a stall. Aside from that, proponents also want to create an ambiance that
promotes positive vibes to the customers while staying inside, and for the employees
as well, while carrying out each of their tasks.

3.8 Maintenance, Utilities, and Waste disposal

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is one of the essential aspects when running a
business to ensure that all production-related machinery is running at peak efficiency
at all times. Minor problems can be found and fixed if an assigned staff will conduct
short regular inspections and making minor changes, if necessary. A successful
maintenance program necessitates involvement and cooperation from all levels of
the organization, ranging from the top executive to the shop floor personnel.

Utilities
Working and knowing which business utilities to prioritize is another vital
aspect of a business. With this, Sorososy Food Stall’s utility sources are the Prime
Water located at Km. 4 National Highway, Brgy. Alangilan, Batangas City for water
supply; Meralco for electricity supply; and Globe Telecommunications as the internet
provider. The business makes sure that all utility bills are paid on or before the due
date to avoid interruptions in business operations.

Waste Disposal
Sorososy Food Stall will be strict in maintaining the neatness and cleanliness
of the premises by properly disposing of their garbages. The waste collected from the
business operations will be segregated into three categories: biodegradable, non-
biodegradable, and recyclable. Providing separate trash bins with bags for each type
of garbage allows proper processing or storage of wastes in an environmentally
conscious manner. The trash will be left out after closing hours for the collection of
the city’s garbage truck.

CHAPTER IV
MANAGEMENT ASPECTS
This chapter involves the creation of a business atmosphere in which workers
and employers can collaborate to accomplish the organization’s objectives efficiently
and competently. It specifies the form of business ownership that proponents will
pursue in their venture, together with the organizational structure, method of
obtaining licenses and permits, the process of securing licenses and permits,
personal job analysis, and employees’ salaries and benefits.

4.1 Management Objectives

• To describe the form of business ownership to be pursued


• To define the company’s organizational structure
• To identify the compliance policies of the business
• To specify the organizational structure of the business
• To assess the necessary credentials of employees and to hire competent
employees
• To determine the salaries and benefits of the employees

4.2 Management Description

Management is an essential component of any business’s performance. It is


the process of using an organization’s human capital and resources to achieve
desired goals and objectives. It comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and
controlling a business to accomplish a goal (Lumencandela, n.d.). This is comprised
of people who are in charge and accountable for all obligations, tasks, and activities
that occur behind the scenes of the business. They’re also the ones who make
decisions about how the company can be managed. They must accept all of the
obligations that the company may face to avoid and make the best decisions for the
company.

Sorososy Food Stall management has careful screenings in choosing the


most efficient staff who will bring out the best service to the market and compete with
the competitors. The management is composed of five staff headed by the Manager
who will supervise the other employees during the business operations.

Moreover, the management would practice the charismatic leadership style,


which is a concept popularized by German sociologist Max Weber. He surmised that

53
aside from fear, habit, and self-interest, there was another reason people followed
leaders; because they believe that they are good or what they are doing is right. It is
dependent on the leaders’ persuasiveness, their deep conviction in their mission, and
their ability to persuade their followers to feel the same way.

4.3 Forms of Business Organization and Ownership

Sorososy Food Stall is a mix of manufacturing and merchandising type of


business that buys fresh and chemical-free ingredients to generate sosy, healthy and
budget-friendly snacks named Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham (Sosy Mangaham
and Sosy Ubeham) and sell them in the market.

Sorososy Food Stall is a partnership business owned by the nine partners


who agreed to personally and jointly share responsibility for the running of the
business with the intention of dividing profits and sustaining part of any losses.
According to Martinuzzi (2017), one of the advantages of having partners is that it
bridges the gap in expertise and knowledge. Partnering with people can give access
to a wider range of expertise for different parts of the business, as they said, two
heads are better than one. Good partners may also bring knowledge and experience
that one may be lacking, or complementary skills to help partners grow the business.
With more than one owner, the ability to raise funds may be increased, both because
two or more partners may be able to contribute more funds and because their
borrowing capacity may be greater. Also, partnerships can be cost-effective as each
partner specializes in certain aspects of their business. However, UpCounsel (n.d.)
highlighted that one of its major disadvantages is that it poses an unlimited liability.
General partners are liable without limit for all debts contracted and errors made by
the partnership.

Moreover, profits must be shared with others. They must decide how they will
value each other’s resources, time, and skills. Since decisions are shared,
disagreements can occur. Lastly, a partnership is for the long term, and expectations
and situations can change, which can lead to dramatic and traumatic split-ups.

54
4.4 Organizational Structure

Sorososy Food Stall is a partnership form of business ownership that was


established by a group of Grade 12 Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)
students who acted as the employees as well. They are a set of individuals who are
motivated and eager to achieve the goals set for the welfare of the business and the
group themselves. They were trained to perform the specified tasks as they aspire to
be successful entrepreneurs, someday.

The business was headed by the Manager, Ms. Diana E. Dimaano. She is
responsible for supervising, directing, and managing all the daily business activities.

Ms. Aiza Agon, the bookkeeper, is the one responsible for recording
transactions such as income and outgoings and posting them to various accounts. As
well as processing payments, conducting daily banking activities, producing various
financial reports and reconciling reports to third-party records such as bank
statements.
Ms. Julie Ann Dioquino, the store cashier, is responsible for receiving
payment by cash and simultaneously gives receipts and charges to customers. She
is also responsible for cash register operations and processing of sales submits the
daily cash collections to the bookkeeper. She is also the one who will assist the
customers and maintain the cleanliness of the receiving area.
The business has two service crews who are Ms. Patricia Beredo and Ms.
Althea Mae Hayag. They are the all-around workforce who will handle the shop’s
manufacturing, serving, and cleaning processes. Ideally, they must be flexible and
adaptable in order for them to do their jobs effectively.

The business’s hiring procedure was established through a process of


screening the overall highlights of employee qualifications for the necessary
positions.

55
Figure 37
Organizational Structure

4.5 Organizational Policies

Organizational policies are a set of guidelines and best practices put in place
for the welfare of the company, employees, and customers. Organizations use
policies and procedures to define ground rules and action plans for dealing with
issues. Policies ensure that workers are aware of the organization’s principles and
values on specific issues, as well as what will happen if they are not followed (Snook.
2019).

A. Policies towards the Employees


• Conduct, Attendance, and Punctuality
As being responsible staff in a business, they should always respect the time
and practice punctuality. They should also be attentive in every aspect
especially when the higher staff is implementing something that will help the
business to be well. However, if an emergency occurs in one of the staff or
employees, they should talk to a concerned person first and should not be
absent without any consent.

56
• Meal and Break Periods
The business has no noon breaks. The employees have 20 minutes for their
meal and break periods and they should not eat simultaneously.
• Safety and Health
Employees, particularly the service crews, are required to wear proper
cooking Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including apron, hairnet,
gloves, and the likes to make sure that the foods they are preparing are clean
and safe. Moreover, they must comply with the COVID-19 safety practices,
which include the usage of facemasks and face shields at all times while
working inside the stall.
• Performance and Discipline
The manager keeps track of both positive and negative results and
disciplinary incidents of her subordinates. Annual performance reports,
awards, promotions, and administrative measures, such as written and oral
reminders and performance development plans, are all implemented in the
stall. The manager will maintain a bulletin board in the back of the store
where she can post important announcements for employees.
• Customer Service Policies
Since workers are a company’s face, it’s important to develop thoughtful
customer service practices and put them in writing so that everybody knows
how the owner wants his or her company to be portrayed. They must greet
their customers upon entering the stall and must always talk to them in the
humblest and most respectable manner

B. Policies towards the Retailers


• Payment Terms Policy
Retailers must pay the exact amount of cash upon their orders and credit
shall not be allowed.
• Store Policies
Retailers must adhere to the store policies of the business. These include the
“Claygo” policy which means “Clean as you go.” They must throw their
garbages into the proper designation of trash cans. Moreover. They are not
allowed to remove and rearrange the things inside the stall including the
decorations and furniture and fixtures.

57
• Safety & Health Policies
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, retailers must comply with the safety
and health protocols mandated by the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force or
IATF. They must maintain a one-meter physical distance from other people
and always wear facemasks and face shields at all times unless their orders
are served.
C. Policies towards the Suppliers
• Accept Accountability
The business must prepare ahead of time so that they can submit orders from
suppliers with reasonable lead times and few adjustments. The partnership
will never work if each order necessitates emergency handling.
• Payment Terms Policy
Invoices of the suppliers shall be dated no earlier than the date of shipment or
delivery of service. The discount period begins upon receipt of invoice,
required delivery date, or date any applicable discrepancy is resolved,
whichever date is later. Sorososy Food Stall will pay non-discountable
invoices thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice, required delivery date,
acceptance, or the date any applicable non-conformity is resolved, whichever
date is later.
• Expect and Reward Honesty
When deviations from standard operations occur, the Sorososy Food Stall
and suppliers must portray integrity, just as in personal relationships. When
critical supplier circumstances arise, companies should demand immediate
notice without penalty.
• Inspection and Quality policy
All goods and services furnished hereunder will be subject to inspection and
test by the Sorososy Food Stall employees at all times and places and will be
subject to the business’ final inspection and approval within a reasonable time
after delivery. It is the supplier’s responsibility to ensure that all product,
assembly, material, and process specifications reflect the latest revision
levels.
• Excusable Delay Policy. Fires, floods, strikes, accidents, shortages, or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of the parties, which prevent the
sellers from delivering, or the business from receiving, any of the goods and
services covered shall suspend deliveries until the cause is removed.

58
4.6 Process of Securing Licenses and Permits

When starting a business in the Philippines, whether as a sole proprietorship,


partnership, or corporation, it is necessary to acquire government licenses or permits.
An entrepreneur must obtain a business license in the area where s/he intends to
operate, as well as register his company with the Department of Trade and Industry
for sole proprietorships, or the Securities and Exchange Commission for partnerships
and corporations. Failing to do so and doing it right from the beginning is one of the
most common mistakes new entrepreneurs make.

1. Secure Business Name with the Securities and Exchange Commission


(SEC).

The first step is to register the preferred business name with the SEC.

2. Acquire Barangay Clearance


Register with the specific barangay in the municipality or city where the business
will operate. This office will issue the barangay clearance.

Requirements:

• Community Tax Certificate


• Barangay Clearance Fee

whichever is applicable.
• Locational or zoning clearance
• Building permit and occupancy permit

• Fire Safety certificate
5. Register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)

All businesses have to register with the BIR before the commencement of
operation for taxation purposes. The registration process involves obtaining and
registering a tax identification number (TIN), obtaining BIR registered official receipts
and invoices, registering the business’ books of accounts, and paying the applicable
fees. The registration must be done at the Revenue District Office (RDO) of the BIR,
which covers the registered address of the business.

6. Register with the Social Security System (SSS)

All businesses that have employees must be registered with the SSS. The
registered employer will be assigned an employer number, which will be used as a
reference for the remittance of monthly contributions.

7. Register with the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund)

RA 7742 requires all SSS members earning at least P4,000 a month to register
with this agency.

8. Register with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)

If the business employs five workers or more, register the business with this
agency. The DOLE is asked to promote gainful employment opportunities, protect
workers and promote their welfare.

60

CHAPTER V
FINANCIAL ASPECTS
This chapter contains financial projections of the proposed business which
serve as guides for investors who are attracted to invest in the business. These will
also help the management to easily understand and quantify the potential financial
capability of the business. The statement of assumptions, the initial statement of
Financial Position, five-year projected financial statements, and other related
financial data are being discussed in this part.

5.1 Objectives of the Study


• To calculate the cost of starting a business
• To state the assumptions used in financial projection
• To know the initial Statement of the Financial Position of the business
• To present a five-year projection of financial statements
• To present a series of financial ratios that show the business’ overall
performance, solvency, liquidity, and leverage capabilities.

5.2 Financial
The development of financial documentation is a critical step in Sorososy
Food Stall as a new start-up business. The financial documents, once completed, will
aid the company in obtaining investors, meeting client expectations, and continuously
monitoring management. According to wheeler (n.d), finance's role in business also
entails ensuring that the company has sufficient finances to operate and that it
spends and invests properly. The significance of business finance lies in its ability to
keep a company functioning efficiently without running out of cash while also
securing finances for longer-term expenditures.

a. Start-up Cost
As entrepreneurs, raising start-up capital is an important part of developing a
new business venture, as it is considered as the fuel that feeds the fire and that every
business need capital (Universal Class, n.d.). The source of financing will be through
the investment of nine individuals from their savings which will be utilized to cover all
the initial costs and expenses of the business. Each of the proponents has an equal
initial contribution of Php 55,000.00 in cash bringing the total contributing capital of
Php 495,000. The table below shows the start-up cost of Sorososy Food Stall.

Untiveros, Morie Josh 55,000.00
Villareal, Lyka Algine 55,000.00
Total 495,000.00

b. Financial Assumptions
In making financial documents, it is necessary to use key assumptions. These
assumptions are the building blocks of information that are gathered and used to
establish financial and business plans, as well as to assist in making vital decisions
based on reliable data. All components of financial projections including the balance
sheets, income statements, cash flow, financial analysis, and the likes, rely on key
assumptions. They comprise detailed predicted sales volumes, as well as sales
costs, general administrative costs, and other expenses ( Alberta, n.d.). With this, the
Sorososy food stall's financial assumptions are as follows:
• Sales increase by 5% yearly
• Direct labor is 70% of total annual employees Salaries.
• Manufacturing overhead is 40% of Raw materials.
• Cost of Goods sold increase by 5% annually.
• All products produced are 100% sold.
• Utilities increase by 3% yearly, excluding Telephone and Internet
• Marketing increase by 3% yearly
• Depreciation method used is a straight method. Useful life is 5 years
• 70% of supplies used every year
• 75% of the total supplies of the previous will be purchase
• 3% increase of supplies used every year

66
• VAT Expense is paid every end of the month which is 12% stated on the BIR
• Income Tax for the current year is payable on January of the subsequent year

c. Initial Statement of Financial Position


The Sorososy Food Stall’s Initial Statement of Financial Position shows its
assets, liabilities, and partners’ equity as of January 01, 2021. This helps the
proponents to assess the initial financial soundness of the business in terms of
liquidity risk, financial risk, credit risk, and business risk.

g. 5-year Projected Statement of Financial Position
The Sorososy Food Stall’s five-year projected statement of financial position
shows its assets, liabilities, and partners’ equity from the year 2021 up to 2025, which
reflects what the business owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the

there will be no further non-current assets after 2025. Apart from income tax, the
business has no more additional liabilities, and the partner's equity is steadily
increasing due to the net profit that the business generates.

h. Financial Analysis
The financial analysis tackles the examination of Sorososy Food Stall from a
variety of its perspectives in order to fully understand its greater financial situation
and determine how best to strengthen it. A financial analysis looks at many aspects,
from its profitability and stability to its liquidity and solvency.

Meanwhile, the return on equity measures the profitability of the equity
fund invested by the company. It also measures how profitably the owners’ funds
have been utilized to generate the company’s revenues. The table above shows
that the ROE of 20% means that for every Php 1.00 of partner’s equity, Php 20.00
was earned in 2021. This was followed by Php 29 for 2022, Php 37 for 2023, Php 46
for 2024, and Php 55 for 2025. Php 0.1102 was earned in 2021, Php 0.1990 was

rupee of assets invested in the company. The table above depicts that the 16%
ROA means that Sorososy Food Stall can generate Php 16 for every Php 1.00 of the
asset in the company in 2021. This was followed by Php 18 for 2022 to 2025.

72
• Liquidity Ratio

Current Ratio 14.95 21.73 18.65 16.64 16.08

As stated in the table above, the current ratio of 14.95 means that for every
Php 1.00 of current liabilities that Sorososy Food Stall has, it has Php 14.95 current
assets for 2021. It also shows that there are Php 21.73 current assets for every Php
1.00 of liabilities for the year 2022, Php 18.65 for 2022, Php 16.64 for 2023, and Php
16.08 for the year 2025.

• Solvency Ratio

term liabilities, such as debt and the interest on that debt. It's one of many financial
ratios that can be used to assess the overall health of a company.

Table 25
Solvency Ratio
Solvency Ratio 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025

Equity Ratio 0.93 0.92 0.92 0.92 0.92

The table below shows that the equity ratio of 0.94 means for every Php 1.00
of assets that Sorososy Food Stall has, it has Php 0.93 equity for 2021, followed by
Php 0.92 for 2022-2025.

73
• Payback Period
Broadly speaking, the payback period refers to the amount of time it takes to
recover the cost of an investment. Simply put, the payback period is the length of
time an investment reaches a break-even point.

Table 26
Payback Period

Initial Investment: 765,000.00

Year Cash Flow Cumulative Cash Inflow Payback Period


2021 474,195.44 474,195.44 1.04
2022 650,068.76 1,124,264.20
2023 862,445.86 1,986,710.06
2024 1,124,975.54 3,111,685.60
2025 1,431,213.19 4,542,898.79

The table revealed that the payback period of Sorososy Food Stall is 1.04
years or 380 days to exact. This indicates that the investment is desirable because
the payback term is less than the management's maximum intended payback term of
three years.

Chapter VI
SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS
Every business measures its socio-economic impact as part of maintaining its
license to operate, improving the business enabling environment, strengthening its
value chains, and fueling product and service innovation. It plays a crucial role as it
defines how the business helps in creating a good relationship with society, and what
are the responsibilities of the business to the growth and development of the
economy. In this connection, this chapter enumerates the Sorososy Food Stall’s
impact and social contributions to the community, government, employees, and the
environment.

6.1 Socio-economic Objectives

• To determine the business' contribution to the community


• To identify the business' impact on the government
• To know the business' contribution to employees
• To recognize the business' contribution to the environment

6. 2 Social Contribution

a. To the Community

Sorososy Food Stall will:

• become a nutrition advocate. Sorososy Food Stall not only aims to gain
profit but to also extend helping hands for the development of the community,
specifically in terms of health. This will be carried out by offering snacks that

• contribute to economic growth. The country provides the resources and
materials used in the production of the products. The stall buys from it and
ends up promoting the city which leads to economic growth and a better
nation. When the economic growth of a country is high, the government can
acquire more finances and doesn't spend so much to cater to the declining
economy. The government can increase the income tax from the people and
end up raising more money which is used for more developments or every
time the economy is in recession.
• open employment opportunities. Sorososy Food Stall will help the
government in terms of providing job opportunities to those who are skilled
and qualified, may it be for students who need a part-time job or someone who
is working his way through the workforce. This is important since small
business plays a critical role in instilling hard work and experience in the
workforce. This will reduce the percentage of unemployment in the community
and increase the income of the consumers. Moreover, this enables them
access to a sustainable income that will eventually trickle up to the
government in the form of taxes and eventually return to the employees in
social benefits as well to the community in the form of public spending.

76

CHAPTER VII
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data
gathered from the fifty (50) key respondents who are living near the proposed
business location. The researchers agreed to use online survey questionnaires
through Google forms as their instrument to obtain essential data about customers’
willingness and preferences regarding the proposed products of the business which
are the Sosy Tormote and Sosy Fruityham. The researchers neither visit nor get
information from the respondents' social accounts. They did not meet them personally
during data gathering in compliance with the COVID-19 health protocols; instead,
everything was done online. The following results will help the proponents in
identifying their space and position in the market.

Figure 38
Number of respondents who drink fruit shakes

The figure above depicts the results of how many respondents are drinking
fruit shakes. It revealed that a hundred percent (100%) or a total of 50 out of 50
respondents are drinking fruit shakes. This means that there is a sure demand that
the chosen target market will prefer to avail fruit shakes. Moreover, there is a great
possibility that many customers will avail and patronize the Sorososy Food Stall’s
Sosy Fruityham as most people living in the vicinity of the proposed location are fond
of drinking fruit shakes. This was supported by an article entitled Starting a Fruit Juice
and Shake Business (2011), stating that with the increasing demand for a healthy
food choice, diets, and losing weight, starting this kind of business creates many
opportunities for young entrepreneurs, and one of the least expensive but potentially
profitable ventures to start is selling fresh fruit juices and shakes.

difference between coconut sugar and brown sugar is how and what they’re made of.
Coconut sugar is made from the nectar of coconut palm tree flowers, whereas brown
sugar is made from either cane sugar or sugar beets, just like white sugar. In terms of
health, coconut sugar has a lower Glycemic Index than conventional sugar, so many
people turn to it as a healthier solution. Moreover, it is less refined than brown sugar,
which means that it retains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino
acids, and other healthy plant-based materials.

The graph above shows the answers of the 50 key respondents to the
question “Do you eat camote or sweet potato?”. It revealed that 48 of them eat sweet
potatoes or camote and two do not. As studied by Gething, K., Henderson, C.,
McIntyre, A., & Dennien, S. (2012), sweet potatoes were appreciated for their hedonic
and time-saving qualities. For consumers with high involvement in food, this was
valued for its versatility in meals. These consumers took pride in cooking and the
flavor and texture of sweet potato lent itself to a variety of meals such as soups,
salads, roasts, curries, tagines, and so on. The results, therefore, mean that there is a
sure demand that the chosen target market will prefer to purchase sweet potato
products. Moreover, there is a great possibility that many customers will avail and
patronize the Sorososy Food Stall’s Sosy Tormote as most people living in the vicinity
of the proposed location are fond of eating sweet potatoes as their snacks.

(2018) revealed in his study that the development of the street food trade has gained

relevance in the academic debate because of its social and economic significance.
Usually, aspects related to sanitary issues are presented, and the factors that
influence consumer perception regarding the quality of food consumed are less
explored. It also indicates that the organization variable is not significant regarding the
perception of product quality, while attendance and healthiness directly affect this
perception. On the other hand, cleanliness influences perceived healthiness and this,
in turn, reinforces the perception of product quality.

CHAPTER VIII
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of findings based on the analyzed and
interpreted data in the previous chapter, as well as the conclusions drawn from each
chapter and the recommendations for the betterment of the business.

7.1 Summary of Findings

Researchers conducted online surveys via Google Forms of 50 respondents


to research the viability of the proposed business location and products of Sorososy
Food Stall. It proposed to sell two products - a potato wedge called the Sosy Tormote
and a fresh fruit shake named Sosy Fruityham. According to the analysis and
presentation, a hundred percent of respondents are drinking fruit shakes which shows
that there is a demand for this product due to the increasing popularity of healthy food
choices. In addition, most of them consume fruit shakes monthly at food stands or
carts which gave the researchers a benchmark as to the frequency of their
consumption and the place where they usually purchase. This is also the reason why
proponents decided to put up an innovative food stall instead of a cafeteria and other
shops. Moreover, mango-flavored fruit shakes were more popular and have a high
possibility of sales, compared to yam/ube flavored shakes, and in terms of the
ingredients, the results inform the proponents that they can use crushed honey
graham crackers and coconut sugar as their main ingredients in making Sosy
Fruityham. When determining the business’ competitors for fruit shakes, the brands
patronized by the respondents were as follows: Bastea was the most patronized,
followed by Max Mango, Fruitas, Kathrelle's, Zen Tea, and Bukoloko. Also, most of
the respondents were willing to try a new fruit shake brand and only 8% were
unwilling to do so. Above all, most of them are willing to patronize Sorososy Food
Stall’s Sosy Fruityham and it would be very much in demand considering that 32% of
the respondents were willing to pay more than Php 75- Php100.

For the springed-shaped sweet potato in a stick named Sosy Tormote, the
majority of the respondents answered that they are eating this product. This means
that there is a sure demand that the chosen target market will prefer to purchase.
Also, they frequently consume sweet potato products weekly garnering 27 responses
out of 50. Moreover, they usually purchase on street vendors which indicates that
brand was not the determining factor for food quality, but low price combined with
99
attendance and cleanliness influence the product quality and purchases. The majority
of the respondents are willing to add new twists to the conventional camote products.
They are also willing to try the yema-kalabasa flavor as the dipping sauce of the
sweet potato. Above all, Sorososy Food Stall can attract and retain customers
because it is in demand in the market and respondents are willing to purchase its
Sosy Tormote. When asked about the price they were willing to pay for it, 32% were
willing to pay Php 25 for a piece.

In the third part, the respondents were asked about what factors influenced
them when purchasing newly introduced snacks, and the majority responded that they
considered the taste, followed by the price, customer service, shop appearance, and
shop location. Also, 92% of the respondents said that product packaging mattered to
them, while only 8% said it didn't. This shows that product packaging is important for
product safety during transportation and also for increasing customer appeal.
Furthermore, most of the respondents indicated that they were willing to patronize
Sorososy Food Stall’s products at Mercedes Homes, in Barangay Sorosoro Ilaya
when the community quarantine gets lifted. In terms of the promotional strategies that
convinced them to purchase products at the stall, most of their preference is loyalty
badge/ cards, followed by discounts, special deals, and lastly, online advertisements.
This indicates that the business can use a variety of promotional strategies to attract
and retain customers. Finally, with regards to the ambiance inside the food stall, 50%
of the respondents preferred an aesthetic design, 34% preferred a minimalistic
design, while 16% preferred a modern style.

NARRATIVE REPORT

SOROSOSY FOOD STALL


NARRATIVE REPORT
July 02, 2021

According to Natalie Comaneci, “I don’t run away from a challenge because I


am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample
it beneath my feet.” Indeed, working with this kind of paperwork is a challenging one
most especially during this trying time brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is
harder to brainstorm ideas, communicate with each other, and keep track with other
co-members compare to face-to-face interactions, maybe because of internet
connection problems, personal reasons, work-related concerns and many more. But
this quotation reminded every one of us that we need to face this challenge for us to
strengthen our inner selves and learn life lessons that we can apply in the future, as
we aspire to become successful entrepreneurs. And now, we, just like Natalie, are
raising our foreheads which signifies our readiness to trample the struggles beneath
our feet with courage, dedication, and perseverance.
Before we started doing anything else, we convened ourselves first virtually
last April 15, 7 pm via Google Meet, to meet and greet each other as we are still
unfamiliar with each other’s faces. Our first agenda is to introduce our personalities,
followed by the votation of leader, material provider, notetaker, overseer, prototype in
charge, and presenters. Based on the results of the election, Ms. Diana
E. Dimaano was hailed as the leader of the group, Ms. Julie Ann Dioquino as the
notetaker, and Ms. Aiza Agon as the overseer. It is then followed by the brainstorming
of ideas about our business name and products. From that, we all agreed that our
business name will be Sorososy Food Stall which was coined by combining the words
‘soro’ from the first word of our barangay, Sorosoro, and ‘sosy’ which came from the
Tagalog term, ‘sosyal’ as we all shared a common characteristic of being fancy or
classy when it comes to fashion. Moreover, we initially liked to offer iced coffee
(mango flavor) but we thought that some people might not prefer coffee as a
beverage which made us refused on continuing this. As a result, our final products to
be proposed are deep-fried springed-shape potato whose name is Sosy Tormote with
a dipping sauce named yema-kalabasa; and fruit shakes which are
120
called Sosy Fruityham (Fruity Graham) with two variants: Sosy Mangoham (Mango
Graham) and Sosy Ubeham (Ube Graham).

After that activity, the newly-elected leader immediately gave tasks focusing
on chapters one and two. Ms. Dioquino was assigned to do one of the business
prototypes which is the Sosy Mangoham and a brief description of the business. Ms.
Patricia Beredo was tasked to make the business name and the location of the
business while Ms. Agon for the mission and vision, and Mr. Morie Josh Untiveros for
the goals and core values. The marketing objectives and market description were
assigned to Ms. Izzy Rouzvi Cabrera, the SWOT analysis is for Ms. Lyka Algine
Villareal, and the product description for Ms. Danicca Rea Camo. The assigned tasks
to be done by the leader, Ms. Diana E. Dimaano was to create the business logo as
well as the tagline and packaging. All of these tasks were due on April 22, Thursday
and were sent through the group’s Google classroom. All of our ideas, concerns, and
clarifications were settled on the said virtual meeting. Last April 18, Sunday, our
proposed products were approved by Ma’am Nina Katherina Blanca. And after the
approval, the group leader, Ms. Dimaano compiled and finalized the Chapter 1 and
turned it in the Google Classroom.

On April 24, at 3:00 pm on Saturday, we had our second meeting that tackled
the tasks and activities to be accomplished in Chapter 2. Ms. Hayag was assigned to
do the pricing strategy, Ms. Beredo for the place/ distribution channel, Ms. Agon for
unique selling proposition (USP), Ms. Cabrera for the target market/ consumers, and
Ms. Dioquino’s task was to do the players in the market/ competition analysis. The
promotional strategy and the advertising materials including flyers and tarpaulin,
special menu, and Facebook page, grand opening promo, and the video editing of the
jingle were all accomplished by the leader, Ms. Dimaano.

As we continue working for Chapters 3 and 4, we were motivated by what


former U.S. President Barack Obama has quoted, “If you're walking down the right
path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.” As cliché
goes, the process is tough but, in the end, it’s always worth it. With this, we became
more inspired in accomplishing our tasks and we can’t wait to harvest the fruit of our
labors.

Before we start doing the technical aspect of our business, the group leader,
Ms. Dimaano called for a meeting last April 24, at 8:00 pm to discuss its contents.
121
After that, Ms. Villareal was in charge of doing the ‘technical objectives’, Mr. Untiveros
for the ‘technical description of products’, and Ms. Dioquino for the ‘manufacturing/
production methods’ and the ‘raw materials and suppliers of raw material’. Meanwhile,
the machinery, equipment, furniture, and fixtures were assigned to Ms. Camo, tools
and supplies for Ms. Hayag, and the business location and floor plan for Ms.
Dimaano. All these tasks were to be sent to the group’s Google Classroom before
11:59 pm on April 28. After finishing our assigned tasks, Ms. Dimaano compiled,
reviewed, and checked all of the outputs we made before submitting them to the
teachers via Google Classroom.

Our fourth meeting happened last May 01, Saturday from 6:00 pm onwards
which focuses on Chapter 4 or the management aspects of the business plan and
feasibility study. The subtopics concerning ‘management objectives’ and ‘job
description and specifications’ are assigned to Ms. Hayag, the ‘management
description’ to Ms. Agon, and ‘forms of business organization and ownership’ to Ms.
Dioquino. On the other hand, Ms. Cabrera was tasked to do the ‘organizational
policies (policies towards employees, retailers, and suppliers)’, Ms. Camo for the
‘process of securing licenses and permits’, Ms. Villareal for the ‘personnel job
analysis’ and Morie Josh Untiveros was assigned to do the ‘salaries and benefits’
part. These activities are due before 11:59 pm on May 05, at our group’s Google
Classroom.

All of us have accomplished our tasks on or before the due date, except for
Ms. Hayag and Ms. Camo but they presented valid reasons that are why the rest of
the members considered them as excused.

As we work for the three consecutive chapters, we start to glimpse the light at
the end of the tunnel, little by little, as we are about to finish our business plan and
feasibility study successfully. We continue putting our hearts, dedication, and
perseverance into the tasks assigned to us.

For the financial aspects of our business or chapter five, Ms. Dimaano took
charge of making all of the financial statements and projections for five years. While
she is working on that topic, Ms. Dioquino was assigned to accomplish the socio-
economic aspect of the business. This part discusses the contributions of the
Sorososy Food Stall to its community, employees, and environment. Before
proceeding to chapter seven, we virtually gathered again for a meeting last May 27, at
122
6 o’clock in the evening. The leader explained that our task is to interpret, analyze,
and discuss the data obtained from the 50 key respondents coming from the residents
of Barangay Sorosoro Ilaya, Batangas City where the business will be located. The
questions in the survey were divided into nine which resulted in five. This means that
each of us will interpret five questions.

Opportunely, every member in our group has interpreted, analyzed, and


discussed each data accurately with proper supporting details or evidence cited from
the primary and secondary sources of information. We passed our works ahead of
time. The final output of the group was compiled and checked by the leader, Ms.
Dimaano before submitting it to the teachers via Google Classroom.

The Chapter VIII of the Feasibility Study tackles the summary of findings,
conclusions, and recommendations drawn from the thorough analysis of data and
study. At 11:54 pm on May 13, 2021, the leader of the group, Ms. Diana E. Dimaano
sent the assigned tasks of the group members. Ms. Julie Ann Dioquino and Ms. Aiza
Agon were both assigned to do the summary of findings of Chapter 7 which was all
about the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data from the survey conducted
among 50 key respondents. Ms. Lyka Villareal, Ms. Izzy Rouzvi Cabrera, and Ms.
Patricia Beredo were tasked to make the conclusions from chapters 2-6 and
determine if the study is feasible or not. Meanwhile, Mr. Morie Josh Untiveros and Ms.
Althea Mae Hayag were asked to make the recommendations. Lastly, Ms. Dannica
Rea Camo was tasked to do the Bibliography and make it in APA-citation format. All
of these were due on May 21, 2021, to be submitted to the group’s Google
Classroom.

Moreover, Appendices A to E which include the questionnaire, notes to


financial statement, business implementation report/ evaluation, narrative report,
photo documentation, and curriculum vitae were all accomplished by Ms. Diana E.
Dimaano alone.

Last June 5 to June 6, we had our discussions and dry runs as part of our
preparations for the upcoming Final Virtual Defense to be held on June 7 from 1 pm
onwards, via Google Meet. Ms. Dimaano and Ms. Dioquino became the presenters
or the representatives of the Sorososy Food Stall to discuss the contents of their
business plan and feasibility study. Meanwhile, the rest of the members will be the
ones to answer the questions thrown by the panelists.
123
The Final Virtual Defense of the Grade 12 ABM students happened on June 7-
9, from 8 am to 4 pm. On the first day, Grade 12- Philip Crosby presented their
business proposals first to the eminent panelists namely Ms. Merlyn M. Atienza, Mrs.
Jessica H. Cabaces, and Mr. Aaron Masaya. This was followed by the young
entrepreneurs coming from Grade 12 Peter Drucker with their panelists,
Mrs. Hazelle D. Macalalad, Ms. Sarah Jane D. Pulhin, and Mr. Masaya. On the
second day, Grade 12 Philip Kotler defended the feasibility of their businesses to Mr.
Arnold D. Diona, Ms. Meliza Grace Dumindin, and Mr. Masaya; followed by Grade 12
Elton Mayo on the afternoon session, with their panelists, Mrs. Richee G. Clet,
Ms. Pulhin, and Mr. Masaya. On the third and last day, Grade 12
Douglas Mcgregor presented their works first to Mr. Edmon Buenviaje,
Mr. Joeseph B. Lontok, and Mr. Christopher V. Rosalio; followed by Grade 12
Luca Pacioli with their panelists, Mr. Edgar Rig-on, Mrs.
Ma. Queencita M. Realingo and Mr. Masaya.

We have successfully presented our business proposal and gained positive


feedback from the teachers and panelists. Indeed, we realized that coming together is
a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is a success.
