PROJECT

SUMMARY
 Bookworms Caf Ground |

I. Name of the Enterprise

The researchers believe that books are great friends of humankind. They are the

true companions of man and play the role of awesome surroundings. We all, more or less,

love reading. Some of us love seeing it arranged on the shelves of libraries, some of us

prefer to buy famous, costly books just to make our collection rich enough. And the third

one who are most fantastic, wonderful and above all real book lovers, where everyone

would think not be wrong to call them book worms. Thus, the business would be named

Bookworm Caf Ground as it will be a place of reading while you can enjoy a cup of

drink.

II. Location

Choosing the right location is about so much more than finding the place that

looks closest to the one the researchers have envisioned. Its about being somewhere your

customers will see you, about being in a competitive location, about staying within

budget, and about meeting local and state regulations and laws.

Bookworm Caf Ground shall be located at KM6 Dangwa Square, La Trinidad,

Benguet. The location is accessible because clustered around it are different

establishments, commercial spaces and schools where probable clients are working or are

going for their daily transactions.

snack.

VI. Feasibility Criteria

The criteria for the feasibility of the project depended on many factors. One is the

existence of unsatisfied demand for the service to establish a market for the service.

Another is the technical feasibility of the product whether capital can be provided for and

the requirement can be established. The financial feasibility is also a factor to determine

whether the project is profitable if established and beneficial to the investors. The socio-

economic benefits of the project were also taken into consideration if the firm will be

VII. Highlights

A. History

Most of us are pretty attuned to how and where we get our best studying done.

Some people need absolute silence and only work well after midnight; others need to be

in the middle of a crowded cafe at noon. Many students feel that they can only study well

in the library - a statistic that needs no further evidence than the fact that it has become

impossible to get a great spot especially during schools closing time. Bookworm Caf

Ground will probably give you list of reasons why you should consider studying at a caf.

VIII. Major Assumptions and Summary of Conclusions

A. Market Study

Bookworm Caf Ground will focus its marketing activities on reaching the

University students and faculty, people working in offices located close to the caf and on

sophisticated teenagers. Our market research shows that the firm 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 University campus means that

most of our clientele will be college students and faculty. Our market research shows that

these are discerning customers that gravitate towards better tasting coffee. Furthermore, a
 Bookworms Caf Ground |

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.

B. Technical Study

The technical study involves the discussion of the service process to be followed

in rendering the service. It also encompasses the establishment of location, facilities and

personnel requirements for commencement of the operation of the business. The

personnel requirements are important to establish the capacity of the business for the

hours of labor to be provided for.

The waste disposal system would also be discussed as well as the physical lay-out

of the place of business. The utilities needed would also be included so as to help in the

proper flow of business.

C. Financial Study

commencement of the business as well as the projected financial position of the business

for a period of five years thus also includes the measurement of its liquidity. It also

covers the study of the profitability of the business in the course of the same period and

other financial considerations that may affect the viability of the business. The findings of

the study show that the firm is profitable, liquid and solvent.

In order to quantify such information, projections for the financial position,

comprehensive income, cash flows and other statements shall be presented in detail as
 Bookworms Caf Ground |

well as the costing for the business. Assumptions in the projection shall also be presented

to better understand the projections.

D. Management Study

structure wherein Bookworm Caf Ground is formed as a partnership. It also covers the

details for the personnel requirement and qualifications as basis for hiring. The policies of

the organization was also presented in detail. The staff development program was

TECHNICAL
 Bookworms Caf Ground |

ASPECT

TECHNICAL ASPECT

INTRODUCTION

The technical study is conducted to determine the procedures to be followed in

conducting the operations particularly the service process. It also encompasses the establishment

of location, facilities and personnel requirements for the commencement of the operation of the
 Bookworms Caf Ground |

business. The personnel requirements are important to establish the capacity of the business for

NATURE

quietly study at the same time eat or drink. This is based on the concept of a simple caf plus a

library. Computers are present but not wifi and social media access are blocked from the

computer for the costumers will really focus on studying. There are tables for group studies and

cubicles for alone costumers. The caf is not only for study purposes but also for those who want

to eat and take a nap.

LOCATION SITE

The study caf shall be located at kilometer 6, Dangwa Square, La Trinidad, Benguet.

The space will be rented for Php 45,000 monthly. This is the most strategic location that the

proponents were able to come up with. It is strategic because it is near the center of La Trinidad

and it is also near the biggest university which is Benguet State University where students are

congested. This means that it is accessible and convenient enough for both students from the

university and young professionals who work near the vicinity.
