PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Introduction
Steamed buns are one of the most widely recognized pastries in the Philippines.

Such a pastry originated first in China, and during the Spanish colonization period,

Chinese immigrants were able to introduce such food to our country. With that strong

influence, it is no surprise anymore that this fluffy white dough with filling inside is

offered in various food stalls and shops up until this day. Steamed bun fillings are

typically made of savory meat and served with sauce to enhance the eating experience for

people. The forcemeat filling is placed in the center of the perfectly circular dough balls.

(Mollenhauer & Gabriel, 2019). Furthermore, the researchers came up with a product idea

called "Steamed Sweet Treats," which are buns that are filled with fillings. Its fillings are

then sweet, and more modernized now, making it unique and different from the dominant

impression of steamed food, from the old times: savory and stuffed with viand.

These steamed sweet treats come in three distinct flavors. The buns filled with

blended bananas, milk, and melted chocolate, are the first variation of these steamed

sweet treats. The second variation would be the ube-flavored one. The third and last

variation will be the yema-flavored steamed buns. The researchers decided to choose

fillings that would represent the rich Filipino heritage and identity. The dough, on the

other hand, still follows the standardized procedure of cooking it.

However, it provides customers with a new and unique experience because,

instead of being savory, the soft and fluffy buns are now stuffed with unique sweet flavor

variations. Having these in mind, the main composition of these steamed sweet buns

mostly came from natural and raw ingredients, as the researchers try to establish a sweet

snack with an enticing appearance, without relying on artificial flavors and ingredients.

Both the taste and presentation of the steamed sweet treats are included in the researchers’

top priorities as both contribute best to consumers' eating experiences.

With this feasibility study, the researchers aim to exhibit the taste their chosen

flavors will form once varied and stuffed together in buns. From the name itself, this set

of steamed buns is sweet, especially since the ingredients are more into fruits and

sweetened milk. These steamed sweet treats provide a distinct quality of different foods

with distinct appearances, providing consumers an option to eat on the comforts of their

university, without having to prepare food for themselves.

Purpose of the Study (Significance of the Study)

The purpose of this study is to pit products against each other to see which of them

can outperform a similar product sold at a higher price. This study aims to implement a

profitable plan to outperform similar products at a low cost. The lower the cost, the

greater the demand from buyers (Asmundson, n.d.). This research will determine the

importance of making products for:

1. Consumers/Students

The study will provide convenience for consumers as it is relatively

affordable. They are also worthwhile to eat, as they are delicious and

satisfying.

2. Suppliers

Suppliers can also help if food is grown and sold to researchers. The

suppliers will benefit from the researchers. Moreover, suppliers' incomes will

increase if the researchers continually buy raw materials and ingredients from

them. If the researchers find the steamed sweet treats profitable, then they may

continue to source materials or ingredients from them.

3. Researchers

The study conducted by the researchers will help them, particularly if

they can sell it as quickly as possible. There is an opportunity for researchers

to broaden the database every time it is sold because it is affordable for

people.
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 4

4. Community

A community also serves as a virtual extension of the researchers’

product success, giving new clients helpful advice and information. Most

importantly, it provides a convenient means of interacting with other

customers who wish to purchase the researchers’ goods and exchange positive

feedback.

5. Future Researchers

This study will be a valuable reference for future researchers who are

interested in studying steamed buns in more detail. The results of this study

will be helpful in understanding the specific characteristics of steamed buns,

including the ingredients and methods used to make them.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study


The Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School Main Campus is the only

location where the “Steamed Sweet Treats” were studied. Only the target market, which

consists of the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students from the STEM, ABM, Home Economics,

and ICT Programming strands, within the campus, were allowed to purchase the delicacy.

However, non-student potential customers were still welcome to place an order if they

wanted to buy the researchers’ product outside the school borders.

Justification of the Study (Statement of the Problem)


Steamed sweet treats are some sort of food product, and in everyone’s daily lives,

people need to consume food in order to survive. Sweet steamed treats are steamed buns

with fillings inside. Even the intention of marketing these steamed buns in the target

market and even outside of it is already viable because food businesses are normally more

profitable than the other industry sectors. These steamed sweet treats can quell hunger,

more especially that they’re made up of ingredients that are known to fill people up such

as flour, milk, and butter. The concept of steamed buns may not be new in the industry;

however, steamed sweet treats’ uniqueness in flavor, ingredients, selling proposition, and

appearance may continue to entice the target consumers into buying them, given that their

curiosity may be piqued, especially that the product is affordable. One of the most

important factors that may push the customers to not resist in buying the steamed sweet

treats, is its price quality relationship. In research from Ha et al., (2014), if consumer

perception of quality and price match their expectation, they will be satisfied and perceive
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 6

high value for the products. With that, these products are deemed to be worth it for its

affordable price, which might pull potential customers. The researchers focus on selling

this product because it is unique in the market, which means less competition. Since food

is a primary need, especially for students who can feel hunger at any time of the day at

school, the steamed sweet treats can provide them a budget-friendly snack to consume

without having excessive costs.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION OF THE FINDINGS

Market Feasibility

To keep up with sales in the market, one has to know its currents and trends This

will help the business improve their product to a distinct level where it could be the next

trend in the market. By keeping up with the changing market trend, the researchers'

product will be able to compete against other products similar to theirs. By being

advanced and open to trials and errors, their product will strive for success over the market

trend. Also, by doing this, their company will be open to developing strategies and

growing as their products rise above other similar products on the market. It can be really

crucial to keep up with the competitors, but with one's critical thinking and decisiveness,

the researcher's products will rise and grow into many branches of different market trends.

Product Description

The researchers came up with the idea of making flavored steamed treats. A treat

good enough to energize consumers, a treat that melts in the mouth, and a treat so unique

and bursting with flavors: Steamed Sweet Treats. It comes with different variants of

flavors. This product is similar to a dumpling, but instead of having viand fillings with

egg, beef, chicken, or vegetables, the researchers innovated it with sweet fillings such as

banana chocolate, ube, and yema. The researchers thought of it as a unique idea that could

really make their customers in the future want to explore or taste their product because

there are only a reasonable amount of steamed products that have a flavor that comes from

fruits and other starchy root vegetables. Steamed Sweet Treats difference and flavor
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 16

variations are new to the market the researchers plan to strategize on, the Liceo de

Cagayan University Main Campus.

Name of the Product

Steamed Sweet Treats is the name of the product. It is made out of dough stuffed

with sweets inside and that is cooked by ways of steaming. The researchers named them

sweet treats as it would sound more appealing to the buyer rather than snacks.

Logo

The logo shows an image of a steamed bun

with a smiley faced cartoon on it which represents

happy and satisfied customers that patronize the

product. The colors white on the logo represents

cleanliness which the company takes pride in the

production of the sweet treats.

Properties of the Product

Buns used to make steamed sweet treats are normally made using all-purpose flour and

other components. Even so, this product stands out because its fillings are sweet and

contain the flavors of ube, yema, and banana chocolate. It is typically made out of fresh

milk, condensed milk, eggs, butter, and the aforementioned fruit and vegetable.
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 17

Benefits

Steamed Sweet Treats are beneficial to those who are looking for something to eat at

the convenience of their chosen place, specifically in the school quarters, without having

to undergo cooking procedures. Additionally, these are food products, which are included

in the basic needs of humans to survive. Aside from the fact that it costs less money and is

simpler to prepare, Steamed Sweet Treats can satisfy your hunger and fill your stomach in

the middle of the day.

Characteristics

The uniqueness and contemporary flair of the Steam Sweet Treats set them apart from

the other buns available to customers. Steamed Sweet Treats beg to differ from the

majority of buns, which are typically loaded with meat, eggs, or vegetables since they

provide a sweet sensation to consumers. Banana chocolate, ube, and yema are the flavor

options for Steamed Sweet Treats. Depending on what is stuffed inside the dough, their

appearance also varies. As a result, consumers who are interested in buying the

researchers' products are given a chance to experience a distinctive flavor in only one bite

of a fluffy bun.

Demand Analysis

Demand in economics refers to a consumer's readiness to pay a particular price

for goods and services as well as their desire to buy them. The demand for a product

might change depending on its price, availability, the population of the target market, and

their preferences and purchasing power. In order to comprehensively understand the

customer demand of Steamed Sweet Treats, the researchers have floated a survey to a

specific number of respondents or students from the Senior High School Department of

Liceo de Cagayan University Main Campus. The responses collected from the set of

questions were then used to conduct a demand analysis, enabling the researchers to assess

whether they could effectively enter a market and produce anticipated revenues to

increase their business operations.

The manufacturing of steamed sweet treats, as well as its price range on the

market, will be limited and accurately based on the responses collected to the survey

questionnaires that have been sent by the researchers. The aforementioned questionnaire

mainly asked about the consumers' willingness to buy the researchers’ steamed buns, their

purchasing patterns, and their preferred price ranges.

Table 15 shows the total demand computation of Steamed Sweet Treats. The

entire population of the area where the researchers collected the random sample of their

target market or survey respondents is the first factor the researchers determine. The study

is being undertaken in 2023, and a total of 3,784 people were counted. Starting in 2018

and continuing through the anticipated years through 2027, the population has been

increasing annually at a pace of 10%.


Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 37

The market potential was determined by combining the market component with

the year's total population and was based on the consumer's desire to purchase. The

survey’s findings on how many respondents were willing to buy were utilized to calculate

the sales factor. The sales factor and market potential were then multiplied to obtain the

sales potential. The frequency at which customers were most likely to purchase Steamed

Sweet Treats was then used to calculate the average consumption. Ultimately, total

demand is determined by multiplying sales potential by average consumption.

Supply Analysis

Supply analysis is used to determine how much of a particular product will be

available on the market. The various costs associated with manufacturing (equipment,

labor, and wages), as well as the cost of raw materials, can all affect an analysis of supply.

These factors will help researchers analyze and comprehend the effect on supply and

demand. They include understanding the factors that influence demand and how those

factors change with different prices, as well as understanding how supply responds to

changes in demand.

Demand and Supply Analysis

Demand and supply analysis is the study of how producers and consumers interact to

determine purchase prices and quantities. It is believed that the interaction between a

product's suppliers and buyers is governed by the law of supply and demand. The theory

explains how the relationship between a product's supply and demand or interest has an

impact on its price.

Technical Feasibility

Introduction

Steamed Sweet Treats can help students stay focused and energized all day long.

They are great for students who are struggling to stay awake in class or who need a little

extra energy to get through their day. They’re made up of ingredients that are known to fill

people up, such as flour, milk, and butter. These three ingredients provide energy to the

body, in particular the flour that researchers use in making dough. The researchers studied

to create products that are both low in price and highly satisfying to the target market.

Moreover, by creating these steamed sweet treats in a variety of flavors, the product caters

to a variety of customer preferences. This way, they are likely to purchase the product.

Production Process

There are many factors to consider when inspecting a product's manufacturing

process, including the quality of the materials used, the methods used to produce the

products, and the accuracy of the finished products. Manufacturing is all about making

products as efficiently and productively as possible so that they can reach customers as

quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. The benefits of technology have helped

businesses in many ways, most notably its impact on the manufacturing process. It helps

businesses keep up with the latest trends, make more efficient use of resources, and

develop new products more quickly. The researchers believe that by using these

technologies, they can produce their items more quickly and accurately while still exerting

a significant amount of effort. Additionally, these technologies could help reduce the

amount of time spent on work, which would result in increased efficiency.


Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 55

STEP 1: Purchasing and Gathering of Raw Materials

The first thing to consider is identifying the suppliers of the raw materials needed

to produce the product. The researchers chose to purchase all of their raw materials

locally, where the prices are much cheaper than any other store, but the quality of the

ingredients and materials is still good. In addition, the local suppliers are often more

responsive to customer feedback, which helps ensure that the products are of high quality.

STEP 2: Regulating Inventory

Keeping a well-stocked pantry and ensuring that the raw materials and

ingredients are in good condition can help prevent shortages or poor quality.

STEP 3: Clean Workspace

A clean workplace is essential when handling food products, as improper hygiene

can lead to cross-contamination and potential food safety hazards. In addition, a clean and

organized work space helps employees to stay focused and organized, which can lead to

better product quality and safety.

STEP 4: Personal Hygiene

cans in the workplace can help to reduce the amount of dirt, trash, and other pollutants that

are emitted from the workplace. Food safety is a top priority for the researchers. They will

follow food hygiene guidelines in order to keep the customers safe.

Labor Requirements

The researchers concurred that the daily business activity must have at least two

laborers to run efficiently:

● Cook – A cook is responsible for planning, preparing, and cooking food items to

provide great service. They work to provide high-quality food that meets the needs of

their customers. Cooks keep the kitchen running smoothly by ensuring proper food

handling and sanitation, following food storage procedures, and organizing the

kitchen. They are also helpful in keeping the kitchen clean by ensuring that appliances

are properly placed and that the work surfaces are clean.

● Seller – Sellers greet their customers proactively, providing help as needed. Sellers go

out of their way to provide assistance and guidance to their customers. They are

Socio-Economic Study

After countless hours and days of brainstorming ideas for various common

necessities, the group of young entrepreneurs has pondered the idea of trying out a simple

yet unique treat. A treat required to be steamed hot to preserve freshness and flavor, but in

order for them to consider this as their final product choice, they made sure that the

product they will produce is both feasible and marketable.

As the researchers were studying their consumers, which were the senior high

school students, they observed that the students were more likely to consume chips, bread,

cookies, iced tea, iced coffee, and milk tea. After the observation, the researchers found

the majority of desserts to be the most likely to be consumed by students. The researchers

perceive that their product will be saleable if they come up with various flavors similar to

desserts, which are yema, ube, and banana chocolate. With these flavors mentioned, they

used these as their fillings for the dumpling variant product.

The group of young entrepreneurs worked on making their product's ingredients

budget-friendly and easily accessible. With the help of this business study, their product

will ensure that opportunities are acquired for those who set their hearts on pursuing such

a vocation.

Organization and Management Study

Effective management is crucial to ensuring that a business’ day-to-day

operations run smoothly and efficiently. As a result, customers will anticipate that the

services or products offered by a specific business with excellent management will be of

high quality. Generally, management helps in the growth and development of the

organization, which will help the organization attain its goals, manage resources

effectively, and operate with minimal costs. A structure of an organization is usually

divided into different sectors that are anchored in their specific areas of expertise and

objectives that unite them.

The interactions between people and groups within companies as well as between

businesses and their clients, workers, and communities will be the key topics of this

section. The Organization and Management Study also includes the organizational

structure of our proposed business idea for this feasibility study. It entails the job positions

required to comprise the management structure, as well as professional data on the

founders, and job specifications and qualifications needed for each position. Those who

are in the management, especially the higher-ups, are responsible in addressing risks and

STRATEGY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION, EVALUATION,

CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

Introduction

Creating strategies and plans is essential for a business to advance and carry out

actions that are essential for its expansion. These will help the business keep track of the

developments that will determine its success. When strategic planning is in place, the

company's vision, goals, and objectives are then clearly established, assisting the

management in using those as the basis for their decisions regarding the company as a

whole. The company will use these methods as the cornerstone of its operations to

accomplish its goals and succeed. They find strategies to boost business performance and

get an advantage in the industry.

Market Study

Market study plays an important role in market feasibility as this will determine

the supply and demand of products in a certain market area. It is one of the key

components of the success of the business as it will collect the data gathered from the

demand of certain products and analyze the rate and percentage of buyers and consumers

of the product that will later determine the outcome of the company’s sales.

In positioning business, the researcher kept in mind the competitors. Steamed

Sweet Treats must be located in an area that is accessible and convenient to consumers. It
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 95

must also be in a strategic location wherein it has little to no same product that is being

sold so that it would stand out to the crowd.

One of the researchers' marketing strategies is cost efficient in manufacturing the

product. This will have an impact on consumers as this will create a cheap yet quality

snack item to consumers. Another strategy is by the use of technology and media. Online

advertisements and campaigns through social media platforms are ways to promote

Steamed Sweet Treats to the general public.

Technical Study

The first thing to consider is identifying the suppliers of the raw materials needed

to produce the researchers’ product. They chose to purchase all of the raw materials

locally, where the prices are much cheaper than any other store but the quality of the

ingredients and materials is still good. They also want to consider long-term planning in

order to ensure that we have a reliable, sustainable supply of raw materials. The firm must

need to create a system in which all workers are aware of their responsibilities and are

able to carry out those responsibilities to the best of their ability. By doing so, the firm will

be able to improve its overall production efficiency.

As soon as problems and emergencies arise that may disrupt the production of

goods, the researchers have ensured that a backup plan is possible for certain situations.

Water may be sourced naturally from reservoirs or temporarily acquired from willing

neighbors that can lend one. Using wood and matches to steam the product is also an

option when the electricity runs out. Purchasing generators is also put into consideration.
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 96

Socio-Economic Study

Having the researchers’ product on the market will bring changes to the market

trend. If their product can be sold continuously, it might as well earn a reputation for

having the most sales on the market. It would greatly affect the market trend to have a new

option to try or a new food concept open to the consumers to try. The researchers are

committed to opening their ideas to change and to improving their product for the better,

and they are committed to getting up on the market trend to make our product earn its

reputation for having the most sales in the near future. The community will gain its

advantage by having a cost-efficient food option and vacant job hirings in the future.

Financial Study

The company's financial position aids management in understanding how it

performs relative to other companies and its industry. Giving management reliable data

enables them to create appropriate business policies and make wise judgments. The

effectiveness of management is ranked in these terms. The researchers make sure that their

expenses are in line with their revenue so that the company can stay financially healthy

and grow for the long term. They take into account our debts and how manageable they

are in order to improve our financial ratios. This allows them to keep their finances in

good shape and improve their chances for future growth. They will position their firm in

the succeeding years in terms of profitability by focusing on increasing their profits

through strategic marketing and operational efficiency.


Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 97

Project Execution System

To establish a steady and effective way of conducting business, a corporation

must be steadfast in adhering to strategies and practices. The researchers are required to

create guidelines for the organization's performance and to implement corrective measures

when necessary. When it comes to the performance of the company, the researchers must

ensure that their business operations and righteous attitude towards work are ethically

intact. They must also see to it that the Steamed Sweet Treats are able to provide a better

option for their consumers and are reaching their visions and objectives.

Administrative Support Plan

The researchers are committed to delivering a satisfying customer experience with

just one bite of the Steamed Sweet Treats. They are most likely to maintain and adhere to

their goals and objectives by not just earning profit but also meeting the market demand

for quality food at a reasonable price. These will give assurance to their customers that

their product will be distinguishable from the competitors by delivering both higher

quality and better service for a long time. Also, by providing various discounts,

promotions, and collaborations while simultaneously publicizing them, the researchers can

encourage client loyalty that will satisfy consumers.

Organizational and Management Study

Organizational design is an important part of any business, and can help to make

it more efficient and effective. Additionally, they can help to improve the organization's

image and make it more visible to customers and competitors. These positions play a
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 98

critical role in business transformation, directing and controlling decisions that have a

significant impact on the company's success. By planning ahead, a company can ensure

that its resources are put to the best use. Organizing resources sensibly allows the

company to achieve its objectives more quickly and efficiently. Leading employees and

employees of other departments in the company to carry out their tasks effectively ensures

that the company achieves its goals. Controlling expenses and ensuring that deadlines are

met are essential for a company to remain profitable and successful. This, in turn, can help

the firm to succeed in the future.

Evaluation

The researchers conducted data gathering and data analysis from the survey results

to have a view on the business operation and assessment. Further, the researcher also

conducted an initial feasibility study before launching the Sweet Steamed Treats to the

market to view the effectiveness of the product in the market. In addition, the researchers

also used various methods such as Five Ps of business to be the foundation of the business

operations.

Conclusion

After some time, the researchers have finalized their product, and they wish to

continue to develop it as the study has determined that their product is feasible. The

researchers used 200 students from the Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High

School—Main Campus as respondents in this study. According to the results, 87.5% of the

respondents are willing to purchase Steamed Sweet Treats. The researchers have then
Liceo de Cagayan University Senior High School – Main Campus Page 99

decided to continue to sell their product, improve it, and make it noticeable. The product

known as Steamed Sweet Treats is made not just for people who want sweet desserts but

to try something unique and explore something new to add to their likings. In conclusion,

this product is deemed to be feasible, viable, and beneficial to society in many ways.

Recommendations

The researchers must contemplate on the following:

1). To further promote the product to the market and see the success rate of the business.

2). If given the chance to further promote the product, the researchers then need to

examine the long-term operation of the business, how it needs adjustments to continue the

operation.

3). The researchers also need to find direct contact suppliers or wholesale prices of the

ingredients needed for the manufacturing of the product to lessen the production cost.

4). To achieve business stability, the researchers need to see the long-term demand of the

product. If needed, the researchers need to double the production to cope up with the

demand.

5). If available, the researcher can invite customer care experts to further enhance the

business customer service and provide it to the market.

6). Since it is post-pandemic, the researchers must recognize the new different trends in

promotion and advertising of products and most importantly they need to be updated on

the different mobile online applications that could be used to enhance the business

operations and productions.
