The menu of The Koffee Klatch, coffee bar will be built around espresso-based coffee drinks
such as lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, etc. Each of the espresso-based drinks will be offered
with whole, skimmed, or soy milk. Each of these coffee beverages is based on a 'shot' of
espresso, which is prepared in the espresso machine by forcing heated water through ground
coffee at high pressure. Such espresso shots are combined with steamed milk and/or other
additives like cocoa, caramel, etc., to prepare the espresso-based beverages. Proper
preparation techniques are of paramount importance for such drinks. A minor deviation from
the amount of coffee in the shot, the size of the coffee particles, the temperature of milk, etc.,
can negatively affect the quality of the prepared drink.

Threats:
PESTEL Analysis
With the help of PESTEL analysis we try do analysis of business on bases of six elements i.e.
Political – The government policies are in favor of new ventures as they are
promoting new Start up’s and are encouraging new entrepreneurs as well.
Social -Also known as socio-cultural factors are the areas that involve the shared
belief and attitudes of the population. These factors include – population growth, age
distribution, health consciousness, and career attitudes and so on. These factors are of
particular interest as they have a direct effect on how marketers understand customers
and what drives them.
The café would serve as platform for people not only to coffee but also to socialize
with friends and peers.
9
Technological Factors – As in this industry the technology does not change very
fast so it would give some time to a new business set up like ours to settle down.
Environmental Factors - These factors have only really come to the forefront in
the last fifteen years or so. They have become important due to the increasing scarcity
of raw materials, pollution targets, doing business as an ethical and sustainable
company, carbon footprint targets set by governments (this is a good example were
one factor could be classes as political and environmental at the same time). These are
justsome of the issues marketers are facing within this factor. More andmore
consumers are demanding that the products they buy are sourced ethically and if
possible from a sustainable source.
As we are dealing in completely natural product it would not do any damage to the
environment on contrary it would be in benefit of the society.
Legal Factor – Legal factors include - health and safety, equal opportunities,
advertising standards, consumer rights and laws, product labeling and product safety.
All licenses and legal formalities have taken care of before setting up this business.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing plays a vital role in successful business ventures. How well we market our
business, along with a few other considerations, will ultimately determine our success or
failure. The key elements of our marketing plans have been identified through the need gap
analysis.
The set up will be made very attractive through eye catching interior, mouthwatering visuals
and high quality furniture. We shall have a shake of the day wherein a particular shake (say
chocolate shake on Mondays) will be served at discounted prices. Promotional literature,
informing in depth about various offerings at the café and their prices would be distributed.
10
Eye-catching billboards and hording would be put in nearby location so that more and more
customers can be attracted.
Promotion would also be done with the help of social media through search engine
optimization. Family discount and combo offers would be there to attract more and more
customers.
Market Segmentation
The Koffee Klatch will focus its marketing activities on reaching the College students and
faculty, people working in offices located close to the coffee bar and on sophisticated
teenagers ,and people who doing Ganjing. Our market research shows that these are the
customer groups that are most likely to buy gourmet coffee products. Since gourmet coffee
has great demand in elite class and people in age bracket of 20-45.Other than coffee we at
The Koffee Klatch are offering different varieties of tea which has a universal demand across
age group and economic class.
The chart and table below outline the total market potential (in number of customers) of
gourmet coffee and tea drinkers in Lucknow.
11
Target Market Segment Strategies
The Koffee Klatch will cater to people who want to get their daily cup of great-tasting coffee
in a relaxing atmosphere. Such customers vary in age, although our location close to the
Sahara Mall and National college means that most of our clientele will be college students,
faculty, and visitor of mall. Our market research shows that these are discerning customers
that gravitate towards better tasting coffee. Furthermore, a lot of college students consider
coffee bars to be a convenient studying or meeting location, where they can read or meet with
peers without the necessity to pay cover charges. For us, this will provide a unique possibility
for building a loyal client base.
Market Needs
General trend toward quality among consumers definitely plays an important role in the
recent growth in gourmet coffee. Additionally, such factors as desire for small indulgencies,
for something more exotic and unique, provide a good selling opportunity for coffee bars.
12
Competition and Buying Patterns
Competition
The Koffee Klatch direct competitors will be other coffee bars located near the SaharaMall
and cafeteria of National College.The Koffee Klatch will position itself as a unique coffee bar
that not only offers the best tasting coffee, cakes and cookie but also provides home-like,
cozy and comfortable environment, which established corporate establishments lack. We will
cater to customers' bodies and minds, which will help us grow our market share in this
competitive market.
Buying Patterns
The major reason for the customers to return to a specific coffee bar is a great tasting
coffee, quick service and pleasant atmosphere. Although, as stated before, coffee
consumption is uniform across different income segments, The Koffee Klatch will
price its product offerings competitively. We strongly believe that selling coffee with
a great service in a nice setting will help us build a strong base of loyal clientele.
Competitive Edge
The Koffee Klatch will position itself as unique coffee bar where its patrons can not
only enjoy a cup of perfectly brewed coffee but also spend their time in an ambient
environment. Comfortable sofas and chairs, dimmed light and quiet relaxing music
will help the customers to relax from the daily stresses and will differentiate. The
Koffee Klatch from incumbent competitors.
Sales Strategy
The Koffee Klatch baristas will handle the sales transactions. To speed up the customer
service, at least five employees will be servicing clients while two employees will be
preparing the customer's order, two waiters and the other one will be taking care of the sales
13
transaction. All sales data logged on the computerized point-of-sale terminal will be later
analyzed for marketing purposes.
In order to build up its client base, The Koffee Klatch will use banners and fliers, utilize
customer referrals and cross-promotions with other businesses in the community. At the same
time, customer retention programs will be used to make sure the customers are coming back
and spending more at the coffee bar.

Food costs are assumed at 25% for coffee beverages and for retail cookie and cakes.
Proximity to the Sahara Mall and National College campus will dictate certain sales
seasonality with revenues slightly decreasing during the school vacation periods.

Management Summary
The Koffee Klatch is owned by the owner holds a Master Degree in Business Administration
from the Department of Business Administration, University of Lucknow.
However, because of various activities and functions there will be need to hire some
employee who can perform these activities. An Accountant (Rs.120000/yr) will be hired who
will oversee all the coffee bar operations. Three other employees (Rs.108000/yr each) will be
in charge of coffee preparation and serving. These four employees will be hired to fulfill the
staffing needs on part time basis. In the second and third year of operation, salary will
increase by 10%.
Management Team
A full-time accountant will be hired to oversee the daily operations at The Koffee Klatch. The
candidate (who's name is withheld due to his current employment commitment) has had three
years of experience in accounting. This person's responsibilities will include managing the
staff, ordering inventory, dealing with suppliers, developing a marketing strategy and perform
other daily duties. We believe that our candidate has the right experience for this role.
Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the
management of an organization’s most valued assets - the people working there who
individually and collectively contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the
business.The terms "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have largely
replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in
managing people in organizations. Human Resource management is evolving ra. As such,
HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating
practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to have a key role in risk
reduction.
Synonyms such as personnel management are often used in a more restricted sense to
describe activities that are necessary in the recruiting of a workforce, providing its members
16
with payroll and benefits, and administrating their work-life needs. So if we move to actual
definitions, Torrington and Hall (1987) define personnel management as being rapidly “a
series of activities which: first enable working people and their employing organizations to
agree about the objectives and nature of their working relationship and, secondly, ensures that
the agreement is fulfilled".
".......those decisions and actions which concern the management of employees at all levels in
the business and which are related to the implementation of strategies directed towards
creating and sustaining competitive advantage"
Human resources management comprises several processes. Together they are supposed to
achieve the above mentioned goal. These processes can be performed in an HR department,
but some tasks can also be outsourced or performed by line-managers or other departments.
Nature of HRM
Simply put, Human Resource Management (HRM) is a management function that helps
managers to recruit, select, train and develop members for an organization. Obviously, HRM
is concerned with the people's dimension in organizations. Following are few definitions of
HRM:
1. HRM is a series of integrated decisions that form the employment relationship; their quality
contributes to the ability of the organizations and the employees to achieve their objective.
2. HRM is concerned with the people dimension in management. Since every organization is
made up of people, acquiring their services, developing their skills, motivating them to
17
higher levels of performance and ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitment to
the organization are essential to achieving organizational objectives. This is true, regardless of
the type of organization- government, business, education, health, recreation, or social action.

INTERPRETATION OF ABOVE 2 RATIOS
It is clear from the above analysis that present level of operation is fully safe and profitable,
as present sale exceeds Rs. 3353272(MOS) over Break – Even Sales. It means that if our sale
decreases upto Rs. 4821728 there will be no chance of loss but below this point the firm will
suffer loss.

BUSINESS RATIOS’s:
The following are some of the important ratios calculated from the above financial
statements. These ratios can be used to determine the financial health and operational
efficiency of the organization.
29
The GP ratio indicates an increasing trend. There is a slight decrease in the year
2018-19 due to the reason that firm has opened two new outlets which pulled down
the gross profit in their first year of operation.

Interpretation of NPV
If NPV is greater than 0 or is in positive than accept the offer otherwise reject the proposal.
31
Exit Plan
In specific case of Coffee Cafe, if we fail to reach the point of Break evensales , which has
been calculated above in four continuous quarter this will ring alarm bells that the industry
might not be favorable for us and if the trend continues for three more quarters then we
would wind up our business as it is a partnership firm and it cannot absorb unlimited losses.
So in that case the partnership firm would be liquidated, the assets which include
Furniture
Refrigerators
Television
AC
Machinery
Would be sold to pay to the creditors and the bank balance remaining after paying to all
creditors would be distributed amongst the partners in equal ratio.
