TLF-LearningObject L3235

Test market demand for a café business. Survey customers representing market groups and record their preferences for menu items, opening hours, look and feel. Identify the business choices most likely to succeed. For example, open a bright and funky café at dinner time serving omelettes, muffins and stir-fry dishes. Look closely at sales figures and make adjustments. This learning object is the second in a series of three objects that progressively increase in difficulty.

  • Students analyse market research evidence to identify profitable trading hours, ambience and menu items.
  • Students explore how retail profitability is related to customer demand.

  • Encourages students to examine business outcomes and adapt business ideas.
  • Highlights the significance of market research when running a business.
  • Supports repeated testing of ideas and an iterative approach to business modelling.
