Sofa Café products are priced with the common computation use also by
different businesses in the market. Sofa Café is not after on a high profit but they
want to satisfy and valued their customers through their product. The café utilizes
competition based pricing. The café does not utilize coupons and discounts

coupons.

The Sofa Café must retain and preserve the original idea of providing food
and service while relaxing or at least being comfortable while dining. The idea
comes from the name itself Sofa Café, in which comfortability and enjoyment is
the main goal. The proposed plan is to renovate both interior and the facade of
the establishment this was done by selecting proper and effective color schemes.
To unite with the idea and to preserve calm ambiance for the customer having
light color for the wall for cool perceptions and vernacular malts. To promote the

● “Food Specials and Sample”. In order for the menus to sell, customers need to
know what types of menu are available. To increase the sales, the café will
create a “Menu of the Day” that will offer different type of menu every day for a
cheaper price than the normal menu been offer of the café. In addition, Sofa Café
will offer free samples of their “Menu of the Day” to the customers who are
curious about the product but do not want to spend money in case they do not
like it. The samples will show customers how delicious the foods they serve and
will entice them to order one and come back for more.
● Sofa Café already has a Facebook page, but it needs to have additions and be
updated. The menu and prices are not included on the page, which is an
important aspect that customers care about when making a decision on where to
eat. The page is also a great way to advertise the foods they serve. The
employees could take pictures of the different foods offered and post them in an
SYS 223 – Group 4: Marketing Analysis and Plan for Sofa CafePage 20
album on the page. They could put posts about the different foods offered and
daily include the “Menu of the Day” on the wall. As well as the daily posts, Sofa
