Executive Summary

As more and more Cebuanos got hooked up with anime, manga, online

games, and got enamoured with the highly popular Japanese culture, the rise

of this what we called cosplayers made an impression in Cebu’s lifestyle and

fashion scenes.

Cosplay is dressing up as an anime or video game character to participate in

contests or simply for fun.

Since the cosplay costumes are rare to find here in Cebu City, the

researchers have come up with the idea of creating a business of this type.

The name of the business is Cosplay Heaven. It is a shop that provides rental

service of cosplay costumes and props for the people whose age ranges from

13 to 29 years old.

Pricing is done on combination of food and drink named as snack pack.

Price is set at P30 per snack pack of which majority of the respondents is

willing to pay. Snack-To-Go operates through outsourcing snacks with the

best quality but low price from different suppliers. Foods and drinks are

repacked then delivered to respective university.

Cosplay Heaven is a partnership business. Since it is a small business,

the partners will directly manage the business. Four employees will be hired

to start the operations. The business establishment used will be rented

within Metro Cebu. The initial capital needed is P246, 310 which will be

financed with the owner’s personal fund. The financial aspect of the business

shows a strong standing and performance.

Environment/Competitor Analysis

Based on observation and analysis made, the researchers did not find

out nor identify any of its direct competitors. The researchers only identify

indirect competitors who fill the same needs to the market which is to

provide the snacks on any said event. Based on the data gathered they were

identified as bakeshops, canteen and fast food chains as shown in Table 1

with the corresponding products and prices, based on the respondents

survey answers.

By performing short interviews to the different indirect competitors,

with regards to their promotion or sales incentives applied to the market, the

result has been tabulated as shown in Table 2.

This basically informs the researchers that every establishment has

different edges in terms of the quantity, pricing assumed and other

additional cost such as delivery charges.

Target Market

Page 6: Business plan

The Snack Provider Service will serve the different student

organizations from five selected universities located within Cebu City. The

selected universities include the University of San Carlos (Main Campus and

Technological Center), University of Cebu (Main campus), University of San

Jose – Recoletos (Main Campus), Southwestern University and University of

the Visayas (Main Campus). The list of student organizations is provided in

the appendix.

The student organizations hold activities for every semester wherein

they provide snacks for the participants and speakers, as well as the

committees and organizers of the said activities. The activities most

commonly held by student organizations wherein snacks are provided

include acquaintance, general assembly and seminars/symposium. Aside to

the commonly held activities, they also hold extracurricular activities like

tree planting, sports festival, Christmas party and other celebrations of each

college.

Based on the market feasibility study conducted, 86% of the target

market is willing to avail the service. In the average, there will be 31 orders

per month; each order has a total amount of 218 snacks.

Service Offering

Events and gatherings are always a good opportunity to meet new

people and catch up with friends. These gatherings are designed to expand

and strengthen our social bonds. What is the better way to do all this than to

have food prepared for these events?

The best way to a person’s heart is through his stomach. This is what

Snack-To-Go offers to its consumer. The ease of coordinating food to serve

event guests could be a hassle to organization’s committee in charge. If

event organizers would have the opportunity to focus in preparing events,

social gathering could probably be better. Technical and venue preparations

would be the only focus of committees.6

Page 7: Business plan

Specialization or focusing on a single industry can make companies

operate efficiently and effectively. As a middleman, the only focus of the

business is to repack and deliver goods from suppliers to organizations that

need them. The business offers sets of foods and drinks preferred by the

target market, as found out in the market feasibility study.

Marketing Plan

The marketing distribution channel of Snack-To-Go is a two way level,

from the suppliers to the caterer (Snack-To-Go) and to the consumers. The

suppliers are Erwin Hugo, Mega Burger, Muy Bien Panediria, Anadela

Sanchez, Yummy's pizza, Sure & Safe Drinking Water (Ramon Veloso), La

Nueva Super mart. The distribution objective of the team is to produce the

right amount of snacks at the right time and place, necessary to cater the

needs of every customer.

channel.

The business' debt to equity ratio is a guarantee to creditors whenever

the business decides to engage itself into borrowing. A low debt to equity

ratio is commonly interpreted as having business risk that would

consequently lead to a lower interest rate charge by financing institutions. It

also has a greater margin of safety to creditors, which increases from year 1

to year 5.

Gross Profit Ratio (GPR) 26% 32% 37% 41% 46%

The gross profit ratio determines the service profitability excluding the

expenses not incidental to its operations. The business’ gross profit is

increasing which indicates that the business has the capacity to absorb

operating expenses.

Implementation

The first phase in implementing this type of service is to have the

business registered with competent government authorities. To be a legally

existing business, it should be duly registered. Business taxes and permits

are to be registered.

While in the registration stage, job hiring announcement should be

done. Qualified individuals are informed of this job vacancy through

pamphlets posted in notable areas.

The necessary assets that need to be bought also are bought. The

place where the business is to hold office and operations should be prepared.

Delivery vehicles should be purchased and necessary utilities and office

supplies should be at hand. This stage is done two to three weeks.

The business would enter the second phase as there would be

available assets ready for operations. Information dissemination is key in this

level. Advertising the services of Snacks-to-Go to different school

organizations is rampant at this level. Contact information of key decision

makers of organizations of different universities located within the vicinity of

the company will be collected. The snacks available with their respective

pricing will be advertised to them. Lists of possible events and their dates

will be noted. This is done within two to three weeks.

23

Page 24: Business plan

Lastly, as orders are coming in, the company enters its stage of

operations. Orders are addressed by the company. It should be noted that

orders are to be made at least two weeks before the event within the same

time as the down payment is made. As 60% down payment is received by

the company, suppliers will be contacted. Purchases will be paid in cash. As

supplier’s goods arrive at the office, repacking is done by the employees.

This comprises of the company’s regular operations. This takes place from

two to three days.

Conclusion

Today’s lifestyle demands a lot of time availability and convenience.

Launching events could be a hassle to organizers. Technical and venue

preparations are one of the things that need to be made ready. If organizers

will personally supply food to events, this would mean doubling their efforts

and losing focus.

Undoubtedly, food has an effect to the attendants. If food is there,

most probably people would flock and enjoy what they came for. Event

organizers also need to prepare for this as to reassure the event would be

filled with people.

Suppliers that would want increased sales would find creative ways to

find these opportunities. However, if suppliers would directly supply for

events they would incur additional expenses that otherwise they would not

have should they focus only on their main business. If your business is on

food production, then focusing on food production would be the best thing to

do.

Seeing the need to meet the needs of suppliers who want to increase

their sales; and for consumers who want their needs for food in their events

24

Page 25: Business plan

comes Snacks-to-Go. Snacks-to-Go serves to provide the means where it is

going to be a win-win situation for both consumers and suppliers.

Taking into consideration of the market, an 86% affirmative response

from is derived. This is a good response from the potential target market.

This shows their willingness to avail of the service and the possible business

opportunity boom.

Technically, the business is very helpful as it can address both

consumer and supplier in their aims and objectives. Its location is within the

range of local universities of the city. The business itself is not very

complicated as it serves merely as a middleman and only needs to repack

and deliver the goods. Technically the business is really doable.

The management of the business is spearheaded by its owner. The

entity is a sole proprietorship. This makes the business management simple.

The employees are also not that plenty so managing them would also not be

much of a hassle.

On the financial aspect, the business shows positive and progressive

response. The income it provides is able to cover necessary expenses of the

business. Furthermore, patronage of consumers could surely fuel for the

company’s growth as a leading snack provider for events and gatherings.

The social impacts of the business would be for the business to provide

ease and convenience. Suppliers who are part of the chain could have an

increased sales and market share. Jobs are also created in the company’s

existence. The government is benefitted as tax revenues are increased. The

economic repercussions of this would entail growth.

Snacks-to-Go is a service entity. Focusing on providing food and

convenience to event organizers is a passion. The opportunity of gaining

financially has never been much rewarding as food brings people together.
