The coffee consumption in Asia has experienced an exponential growth in recent years, it's a combination of a world trend that has embraced coffee drinking culture and elevated it to a Craft level drink, as well as the influence of western cultures. We can observe a sustained growth in Taiwan since in the last 5 years the composition of imports reflect a constant shift to import better and higher quality coffees. In recent years the main cities of Taiwan have seen an increased amount of specialty coffee shop options that focus and growing interest and trend of consumers that have made coffee their daily beverage of choice. As a result Taiwan is now a renowned location because of its talented coffee people that have won in recent years international competition in all of the different categories.
We can observe that the market has been segregated in two categories, the high end with Starbucks as the leader in its category, followed by many independent coffee shops that offer high end specialty coffee. In the lower end we have low priced coffee options offered in Chain store coffee shops and convenience stores. The average price of the high end is double the price of the low end options, creating a gap and a market that is currently not being addressed in the market.
To be able to differentiate from the low end price options in the market and attract the right consumers to our stores, we will carefully curate our offerings based on market research to determine the right positive price and quality ratio for our consumers. Our product offering will include: Coffee drinks, light pre¬prepared food, as well as roasted coffee and coffee brewing accessories.
Our Coffee Shops will create a unique coffee experience that engages the 5 human senses (sight, smell, touch, listening and taste), of the consumer when they enter our strategically located store in a high traffic area, where we will serve on-the¬go as well as 10 sitting tables of 3 people. We will hire coffee passionate consumer oriented Baristas that will familiarize and educate our consumer with the different coffee options available, while we prepare the coffee using innovative coffee preparation methods.
With a initial investment of NTD$2,407,000, we expect to have a gross margin of 38%, while serving 450 consuming customers per month at the end of the first year, be cash positive in the 8th month, and be able to return our investment in the middle of the 2nd year.
