business and industry, bread, cakes, pastries, pies, and other perishable bakery products
accounted for the most manufacturing establishments in the formal sector of the Philippine
economy, with 6,618 or 26.3 percent. Changes in the baking industry have been seen in
recent years, along with changes in Filipino tastes, preferences, and lifestyles. Most bakeries
in our nation today utilize electric or gas ovens, which take less effort to run and maintain
than the traditional method of baking loaves of bread and pastries in a brick oven or
"Pugon." It has been simpler for bakeries to function effectively and ensure the quality of
each product they produce thanks to the use of equipment and technology.
As something of a matter of fact, we’d like to introduce you to The Daily Kneads with
the tagline “Take a bite and indulge your Daily Kneads'' which provides nutritional and
scrumptious snacks that will be sold at a reasonable price to ensure that customers are
happy not only with the product's flavor but also with its pricing. Ube-Cheese Pandesal and
Cookies were some of our offerings. So The Daily Kneads's Homemade-based baked goods'
major goal is to provide delectable goods that people will appreciate and will fill their
stomachs. We decided that Iriga City, Baao, Nabua, Balatan, Bula, and Bato, as well as
other areas in the Rinconada District, would be our target customers. The Daily Kneads
The Daily Kneads prioritizes safe transactions and offers delivery to ensure the
safety and health of the customers. Despite being new to the business industry, The Daily

Our product is provided via a variety of tactics that we have decided. The first tactic
we considered was a wide range of baked goods, where customers can see what they can
buy with our products by visiting our business page (The Daily Kneads), where we share our
baked goods. The next is the door-to-door modality of delivery, which specifies a shipping
method in which the goods are picked up at the shop’s door and delivered to the customer’s
door, with an additional delivery fee. The other is the meet-up delivery option, wherein the
company chooses the location where the consumer will be picked up and the order will be
delivered. Lastly, surprises for various celebrations such as birthdays, weddings, and other
special occasions where the customer specifies where, when, and at what time our products
will be delivered as a surprise to their family, relatives, loved ones, or friends, and of course,
we have special baked goods that we can bundle for them so that they can feel the
Food safety and quality could be jeopardized. The threat should be worrying about
keeping the food we offer at the appropriate high and low-pressure handling temperatures,
and our reputation is built on how wonderful our product is. Nonetheless, we pledge that
our company will make every effort to avoid misappropriation to ensure our customer’s

The business relates to a food company that specializes in home-based goods. There
is a strong desire to indulge in eating delectable foods, and a pastry shop can satisfy that
need. The Daily Kneads aims to match the expectations of it’s target market, which consists
of children, teens, and adults with a sweet tooth, and promises to satisfy their cravings at a
bread in particular. Similar to rice, these baked dishes are usually eaten for breakfast or as a
snack and are a mainstay on the local dining table. From the beloved pandesal, Filipinos
have come to enjoy a wide range of bread, from savory to the typical sweet varieties that
2016, the Philippine Statistics Authority reported that 6,618 establishments, or 26.3% of the
total 25,149 manufacturing establishments in the formal sector of the economy, were
engaged in the production of bread, cakes, pastries, pies, and other "perishable" bakery
products. The demand for bread and other baked items is growing as more and more
people eat out. Bread, cakes, pastries, and other baked foods are favorites among the
Filipino people. This love of baked goods gave rise to chances for business development,
entrepreneurs.
INDUSTRY
The Daily Kneads belongs to the food industry, thus, producing edible, affordable,
and mouth-watering products to serve to customers. The Daily Kneads offers trendy but
delicious baked goods like Ube-Cheese Pandesal and Cookies. The products offered by The
Daily Kneads are the toothsome and satisfying versions of the baked goods that are popular
among customers and consumers by modifying their ingredients, changing them from the
usual taste and appearance of the product, giving a twist for improvement which will catch
not just the eyes but especially the mouth of the customers.
TARGET MARKET
The target market would be the residents in the Rinconada area, but the majority
are the people under the age of 17-30 who enjoy gathering a lot with their friends because,
for instance, baked goods are for celebrations too. All residents in the Rinconada are the
target customers including children who love sweet desserts. The Daily Kneads proudly
offers these products with a price that will surely fit their budget and the health benefits

per box, this product is affordable to people of all income levels. It is less expensive than
other pastry stores because the product has a variety of ingredients and is therefore worth
the price. The Daily Kneads consider it as one of the business’s strengths because it is so
simple to produce. The proponents have created a Facebook page to make it simpler for
Weaknesses
Proponents were only just beginning to use the internet to promote their products,
and client engagement has been limited due to the business's inexperience. One of our
perceived weaknesses is that our products are outsold by numerous competitors. The Daily
Kneads' weakness is that the business is a stranger to the market with no renowned name.
Opportunities
If the business is successful, there is the prospect of franchising. The business might
potentially become a supplier to these stores, such as cake shops and coffee shops, selling
the product to their stores. The proponents will certainly provide new flavors and recipes to

Threats
Food businesses are among the most profitable – pastry shops in particular face
numerous threats, such as the growth of local cake shops and bakeries daily. It will also be
a threat to the business if someone sells baked goods that are both cheaper and more
delicious than ours. Business inflation or an increase in the cost of essential supplies may
The Daily Kneads' competitors are other pastry shops or bakeries such as Bela Bella
Bakery & Cafe, Bread Corner, Artiaga Bakeshop, and other pastry businesses in Rinconada
Area.
COMPETITORS STRENGTHS
- Other establishments have more customers than the business has, especially
since the Daily Kneads are new to the existing food business. The
competitors currently have a large number of consumers since they are well-
customers and that they thoroughly enjoy our products, particularly the
excellent taste, and that they will return to where the business, which is The

COMPETITORS WEAKNESSES
- A unique product will help a business stand out, but it’s not enough to make a
product successful. In the business world, there is a lot of competition. The more
common your products are in an area, the smaller your chances are of
succeeding. Coming up with unique ideas is essential to stand out from the
crowd. If a business fails to do this, they will easily have their customers taken

or capital in the business. One should know the features and benefits of your

- Our competitors have an actual bakery store where customers can purchase their
baked goods. The customer cannot contact them online or via text to reserve
baked goods, and they cannot deliver baked goods to the customer's home since
the customer will go to their store to pick up their purchased baked goods.
4. Wastage
- The competitors have actual bakery stores where they need to produce a lot of
baked goods every day with different types of baked goods so consumers can
choose whatever they want if they have a left baked goods that customers did
not buy they just put them in a trash or take them home by the employee
because they will never use it for tomorrow to be offered. It means that it could
COMPETITIVE STRATEGY
The Daily Kneads will charge a fair fee for its product. The shop will charge a
minimum price of 100 to 150 PHP for each box. The client pricing is sensitive because, as
indicated before, they are not only regular cookies and pandesal, but also have additional
certain flavors to them. Other companies' pricing may be cheaper or higher than ours, but
we can assure our customers that our price is appropriate for the product that will be
created by our company. The proposed firm aims to provide consumers with high-quality,
low-cost sweets as well as an additional source of income and good or excellent customer
service.

MARKETING STRATEGIES
PRODUCT STRATEGY
The proposed business’ competitors are baked products that are sold
individually or per packaging and their baked products are too expensive for some
people or cheaper for others but for only small amounts of pieces. Daily Kneads will
have a different version of the regular baked products. The ingredients used to make
the said product were like regular baked goods with additional toppings and flavors
formulated by the proponents. The Daily Kneads has a variety of baked products
including Ube-Cheese Pandesal and Cookies. The Daily Kneads offers scrumptious,
Kneads will be sold for a reasonable price, but the proponents ensure the aroma and
sweetness of the Daily Kneads in every bite. This product makes a promise to cookie
and bread lovers: anyone who buys The Daily Kneads will adore the new flavor of
their favorite baked goods. The product's proponents also predicted that many
ordinary people would love it. It can be served either cold or heated. The Daily

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY
The distribution route will be direct-to-consumer where the producer sells its
product directly to the consumers. There's also a personal connection that the owner
makes with each customer, utilizing a nice demeanor and a friendly expression to
keep customers coming back for more. This will assist the producer in determining
the kind of customer they have, making it simpler to acquire their habits.
