Pop Temple Coffee caf have big opportunities to growth. They are the only two major players in

the coffee caf industry, and their customers consider both as interchangeable brands. This is why it is important to study how these brands differentiate themselves from each other, and attempt to improve brand loyalty amongst their customers. For the purpose of this study, I prepared two research tools, both questionnaire, to find out the relevant primary data pertaining to the functioning and working of Pop Temple Coffee caf. The data was collected based on information provided by: The Sarina hotel, Rolyten hotel, Oriental hotel Customers Jama java cafe. Besides the primary data collected with the help of the questionnaire, I have also collected the relevant secondary data from various sources like magazines, books and Internet and newspapers. Based on the relevant primary and secondary data, comparative analysis has been done so as to find out the areas of excellence and areas of improvement of both organizations. The areas of excellence and improvement have been identified based on factual information, in light of which recommendations and suggestions have been provided for the overall improvement of the organizations in the future. 4.1 The cafe today The food service business is the third largest industry in the country.

This number has been increasing for the past seven years. In the past five years the restaurant and cafe industry has outperformed the national GNP by 40%. 4.2 Future Trends The predicated growth trend is very positive both in short and long-term projections.

Some highlights from the panel's findings: "Consumers will spend a greater proportion of their food away from home.
