Industry Background
Statistics Malaysia shows that the Gross Domestic Product for the year 2008 has an average
growth of 4.73% for the whole year. However, it is at a 6.2% contraction for the first quarter of
year 2009. Consumer Price Index shows a 7.2% increase in price of foods for the period of
January to June 2009 as compared to year 2008.
Despite the contraction of economy nationwide, our researches lead us to a different opinion on
lifestyle trends in Malaysia. Consumers are more than willing to dine outside due to lack of time
to cook at home as a result of doing overtimes in work. Purchasing power for outside food has
greatly increase over the years because people find that the time is much wiser to be spend on
doing more work to get increases in wages.
Another trend that we see is a growing demand for better dining environment among family
households. Family households demand more from eateries, including good quality foods,
services and dining environment.
As one of the fastest growing franchise in the food service industry, we are right on track to tap
into the market in Kampar and woe customers to enjoy a good lifestyle dining experience at
Secret Recipe.

12
Place
We have chosen a strategic location facing a new plaza which will be built not far in future. This
location is located in the center of the town where it’s surrounded by the Tunku Abdul Rahman
University, Tunku Abdul Rahman College, more than 5000 houses and shop lots. After
surveying a few potential shop lots, we have decided to rent Unit 829, Taman Bandar Baru
Kampar, 31900, Kampar, Perak.
The property is about 2056 square feet and the height is about 4 meters. The rental of the premise
is Rm 2,000 per month. The premise will be renovated according to the design of layout
provided by the main franchisor of Secret Recipe Cakes & Café Sdn Bhd as to customize all the
branch.
The location was selected because the population in the town alone is 18,000 residents and the
students from both the university and college make up to 9,000. Furthermore the biggest hotel in
Kampar district was located about 400 meters away from our shop, the hotel attracts more than
3,000 tourist per year. This new town in Kampar will have a steady growth of population as the
hub of education was build here and the business center of Kampar are shifting into here as well.
The shop was located at the front row of shop lots and can be easily seen from the main road
from Kampar old town. The main road is the road accessible to university, college and also the
hotel. It may draw many attention and gets free publicity.
There are many parking lots available at the front of our shop and within our café area. It is very
convenient for customer to find parking.
13
Pricing
Our product prices are set by Secret Recipe and we adhere to the price strategies set by Secret
Recipe. Secret Recipe uses a price lining strategy on certain categories of products. This is to
simplify the choices of the customers by introducing same pricing for foods of the same type.
Secret Recipe’s markup of 250% to arrive at menu price is at the industry average level range.
This is to cover up the overheads generated to operate the business. Retail prices will be
competitive at about $15 for the average meal which is about 30% above our competitor’s prices.
However customers are simply willing to pay more for healthier, tasty food served in a clean,
comfortable and pleasant environment.
Our pricing objective is to be as reasonable as possible for the average household income who
demands a good dining experience, therefore the cap limit for which the average target market
would be willing to pay for a meal is slightly above the normal pricing. This applies to the ala
carte meals only.
We have another set if pricing policies for our cakes which is different from the ala carte meals.
Tapping into the idea and trend of people craving for Secret Recipe’s cakes, we are able to
introduce our cakes at a standard RM6.30 per slice of cake and a standard RM70.00 per cake.
Customers are just willing to go for our quality cakes because of our brand in cake making
industry which had won us lots of awards.
Nevertheless, for cakes that requires custom designs, shapes, decorations, a premium will be
charged because of the usage of more than 1 recipes and the additional work on the cake.
Customized cakes with 1 recipe will have a markup of 250% of its cost, 2 recipes will have a
markup of 600% on cost and 3 recipes will have a markup of 800% on cost. The premiums are
paid for the amount of recipes used in the cake making process.
14
We will exercise product bundling by introducing set meals to customers who come to dine
during peak hours, which is lunch hour and dinner hour. The objective of setting product
bundling pricing is to maximize table turnovers during the peak period and boosting sales. By
packaging a main course meal with a soup of choice and a drink, we are able to introduce set
packs at a much lower markup margin. Riding on the idea that white collar classes people and
college students who are in a rush to have their lunch, it would be effective that we get a lower
margin but able to maximize the table turnovers in order to maximize our sales during peak
hours.
Labor costs are based on monthly basis where staffs will be paid at the end of the month. Besides
this, bonus will be given at the start of every year. Bonuses are given to employee based on
performance of the company for the year.
Raw materials prices that we obtained are discounted prices 10% below market price as set in an
agreement by Secret Recipe franchisor with suppliers. This is the bang for the buck spot as the
cost and thus, leaving us with more space for our margins.

Sales forecast(cake)
We estimated we can sell 1 customised cake for every 30 normal cakes sold RM
So, sales for customised cake every month : (12x83)+(3x120)+(2x220) 1796
Purchase forecast(cake)
cake (1 recipe) = markup 250%
cake (2 recipe) = markup 600%
cake (3 recipe) = markup 800%
RM
So, cost of cake for everymonth = (12x83/3.5)+(3x120/7)+(2x220/9) 385

Rental per month 2,000

Global Disease
With the global pandemic outbreak of H1N1 influenza, people are likely to stay indoors rather
and would rather dine at home or order food because of the potential lethality of the virus. This
directly affects our business because of the widespread of the virus. This is inherent for us and
we cannot do anything to reduce this problem.
Economic Recession
Malaysia is going through a contraction in economy since the last quarter of year 2008. This
directly indicates that consumer's purchasing power has drop and consumers would not spend
lavishly. However, signs of economy recovering are beginning to pick up as of the third quarter
of year 2009 and it's likely to be recovered in early year 2010.
Unnoticing, the food service industry is not affected considerably as there are still signs that the
industry is growing at a positive rate with consumers want more of it.
Supplier
Since our suppliers are fixed by franchisor, it may be a long way journey for the ingredients to be
delivered to our location because of our location at a new area in Kampar. Therefore, the
freshness of our raw materials might be jeopardized. To ensure the quality of our materials are at
highest level possible, we would request our suppliers to upgrade their delivery method and
packing method during delivery period to ensure the materials retain their quality.
29
We had planned our business venture by having marketing plans, operation plan, implementation
plans and financial projections.
Our marketing plan is written thoroughly by using the “4P’s” rule of thumb to be as concise and
detail as possible. We detailed out all our product mix, selection of location, promotion strategy
used and pricing strategies used. By combining our competitive advantage of riding on the good
brand name value of Secret Recipe, we are able to gain a high markup on cost. Our special
pricing strategy enables us to maximize our table turnover during peak period and thus increase
our sales to the maximum.
Our implementation plan allows us to complete all our business operating procedures in time for
grand opening on 1st of January 2010. With this implementation plan, we are right on track to
start operating in 3 months period.
Nevertheless, we are prepared for any uncertainties and risks that might hinder our business from
operating smoothly. We are confident that we will ride through the storm of economic recession
and our risk will be minimized with the strategies that we used.
Upon evaluating all the researches and analysis, we are confident that our business will have a
steady and promising growth in the short term and a steady profit margin in the long term due to
the strict adherence and believe in the success of Secret Recipe’s brand name. We are of the
opinion that our business plan will be a huge success and will win over the hearts of Kampar
people.
