COMPETITIVE POSITION
Food is a basic need and food service industry will always continue in demand. This
industry includes restaurants, fast foods, and cafeterias, catering opportunities, food carts,
food trunks and the like. Filipinos love to eat. This love for food and eating is the major
reason why the food industry has flourished well in the Philippines and why you will see a lot
of restaurants and fast foods scattered all over the country.
Our sense of taste is unlike any other. Scientific data supports the existence of the
sweet tooth in perhaps half of all humans. We’re born with established likes and dislikes.
Craving for sweet foods is partly hereditary. The enjoyment you feel from eating something
sweet is facilitated by the same morphine-like biochemical systems in the brain that are
thought to be the basis for all highly-rewarding activities. This is just one of the reasons why
people make room for desserts.
19
Selling Price
The pricing of the product is based on its market competition. The competition is
tight in the food and business industry because the demand is not just based on the price
itself but also in its taste and presentation. To balance all the necessary factors needed to
formulate a considerable and reasonable price considering the supply availability, the price
is set up at 435 percent based on its cost for the initial year.
SELLING PRICE
Year 1 Php 35.10
Year 2 Php 36.00
Year 3 Php 36.98
Year 4 Php 37.99
Year 5 Php 39.00

WASTE DISPOSAL
Food waste is generated before, during or after meal preparation in the household,
and in the manufacture, distribution, retail and food service activities (Rispo, Williams &
Shaw, 2015). The issue of food waste has implications for food security, environmental
sustainability, and global hunger. The restaurant sector includes many different types of
businesses—from managed-services, cafeteria operations to quick-service restaurants to
fine dining establishments (Alliance, 2014). The most common waste that the business is
expected to incur are the following:
• Tin cans
Tin cans are container of tin-coated sheet metal used especially for preserving food. It
can be recycled in numerous ways. It can be turned into storage containers, utensil holders,
luminaries, flower vase and more. Similar with the used tin cans, the used plastic spoons can
be recycled and turn into lanterns and other ornaments. With a little bit of creativity these
waste will turn into new things that will enhance the beauty of the store. Furthermore, it can
also be a source of income for the business. These waste can be sold to junk shops at a
certain rate.
Used cooking oil, on the other hand, can not be recycled anymore. To dispose the used
cooking oil, the following steps should be done: cool the cooking oil before handling it,
choose a non-breakable container with a resealable lid, toss the container of used oil in the
trash, freeze and scoop the oil into the trash, and pour the cooled oil into a plastic trash bag.
PRODUCTION COST
The product cost of making the ice cream is ₱ 973.50 per day.
