Entrepreneurial Learning

Design & Research - The Mission Cafe

 Identification of Needs and Opportunities
What need/opportunity are you targeting?

Through our entrepreneurial product we are aiming to fill in an important hole that the school has had for
a while now. A canteen. A canteen will make parents as well as kids lives better, allowing parents to buy
their kids lunch through the internet. There are a lot of busy parents in the St Luke’s community, with
hardly any spare time to create their kids lunch and recess. Our canteen will get rid off this struggle
creating an easy and efficient way to order their kids lunch for the next day. Kids will be able to enjoy a
delicious lunch delivered straight to school with ease. Our canteen will be fully online creating a easy and
efficient user experience. Not only will we be helping kids in St Luke’s but we could also be helping out
school staff. The final products we will be selling in our canteen has not been clarified yet but some staff
are interested in buying coffee and potentially other snacks or food. We would be making their lives
easier and we would be extending our range of audience from Kindergarten, Year 9 and above, and school
staff.

Experimentation

Our test is going to be a test with the staff and we are looking at a lunchtime, Tuesday week 7. There we
will order around 25 total wraps and sandwiches. We aren’t too sure, on what types but are looking at
chicken, ham and cheese at the moment. We are also going to have a meeting with the school accountant
to finalise our payment ideas.

We had recently proposed our idea and concept towards the school accountant and we covered what
products we were planning to sell, our prices, supplier, payment methods and profit. The school
accountant had suggested that we should have a 25% upsale with our products for profit and that we
should clarify the prices and products we will be focusing on for our canteen. We plan to continue to
refine and further enhance the quality of our canteen business.

Experimentation

June 23, 2020

After our meeting with Mr Miller, we have identified that paying through the front office is not allowed.
Instead, we have been in contact with Mrs Bauer about possibly using her credit card to make the money
transactions, since we are not able to do so. However, this method can not be used in the long run, so we
are planning to use a card for our future payments when we open our canteen for the school.
 Management

Changes made based on experimentation outcomes

We have made contact with Azura fresh on what we will buy. Our final project consists of a trial date
where staff orders food and then paying for that. After that I will buy the food from Azura fresh and bring
it to them in either lunch or recess on the chosen date. This will help us understand the best way to pay,
order and manage the canteen for when we organise it for the rest of St Luke’s.

We talked to the accountant, Mrs Siegenthaler about payment options for our staff trial. We have come
to the conclusion of EFTPOS payment which is the easiest option for staff.

Here is our statistics document, following our canteen order form

Evaluating
What worked well and why? What did not work well and how could this be avoided in the future?

One of the biggest challenges we have faced is figuring out money transactions within our business
