Moustache Houze Competitive Traits
Small, private company run only by two individuals with not much financial support.
it is based in a very competitive environment, particularly in the tourist area of Penang
ObstaclesAll café’s in that area which sells cake as well
are competitors of Moustache, which makes it a very tough market.
They don’t have much capital to offer lower prices or promotions, thus making it hard for them to compete.
Strengths Uniqueness, their creativity and
signature cakes.
On the other hand, they insist on staying out of the food business, making them lose out in that sector, as many other cafés do sell food in that area.
Moustache focuses on cakes and coffee, making it more specialized in that field.
Between the two companies, it is easy to agree thatPurple Cane is the most successful, due to the large amount of branches,
its product diversity as well as marketing strategies, while Moustache is not at that level yet, as it is just starting out. Conclusion
RECOMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Moustache HouzeCoffee shop
Expand the shop: The coffee shop that we had interview is not a problem in advertisement and promote, but the only thing that can be recommend for this shop is expand the shop bigger so that is it more visible for customer and more spaces for them to move in between tables, and also more comfortable for the employees to work.
Maintain services:Other than that, they should maintain their customer services so their reputation will be increase since it is good enough as the customer is feeling happy and comfort when the employees serve them with their coffees and desserts.
Purple CaneTea shop
Workers performance:There are too many similar competitive so that the tea shops should pay more attention on their workers performance for sure that the workers perform well when serving the customers. Analysis the product: As the tea shop have many type of product, they should analysis the product so that they could avoid of wasting time and place the most famous product in the main point of the shop.
