1. Executive Summary
Go-Health-Tea is a start-up milk tea and snack business that seeks to delight its customers by offering food in a
different, innovative, and healthier way at a lower price to help them savor a guilt-free enjoyment of sweetness. Our
main selling point is the healthy herbal teas we will use to make our milk tea, namely Chamomile, Hibiscus, and Green
Tea.
Our first branch is located in 55 Ilaya, Tres Cruses, Tanza, Cavite. The 60-square meter premises will be divided
into the dining area, production area, and restroom and will be full air-conditioned for the convenience of our customers.
Go-Health-Tea will be registered as a partnership type of entrepreneurial venture. Crischelle T. Pascua will be the
Managing Partner along with Albert Patrick Goles, , Ronil de Gracia, and Kevin Tuazon as the Limited Partners.
As a start-up, Go-Health-Tea aims to build brand recognition to its target market by handing out flyers and
leaflets around the area of its operations. Our logo, and the vital information about our organic and healthier snack
options, will be highlighted in the leaflets which will be given away pre-operation.
Go-Health-Tea’s organizational structure is based on direct flow of authority from the owner which is also the
manager. Partners will be monitoring the daily operations of the business to look after the ins and outs of production, the
behavior of customers, and the attitude of the employees towards their tasks.
We will dedicate our first five years of operation in providing alternative snack choices that are organic with
health benefits yet are still tasty and delicious, so that our customers can live healthier and better lives. This mission
carried out effectively, we believe, is our main driving factor to success and expansion in the long run.
2. Company Description
As young entrepreneurs it is assumed that it’s a good idea to promote eating nutritious food because everyone
could benefit. That’s why the principals decided that the business would be a product that could give health benefits to
the consumers. Considering also that it is very affordable. And because our product is made of veggies, we entitled our
and plate as it symbolized for food because this is absolutely a food business.
Vegan Plate is located at General Vito Belarmino National High School . You can visit and have a taste of our
Starting a new business requires professional skills for the business idea to develop and lead to success. For
instance, a person who wants to start a business shall be familiar with that chosen industry. Entrepreneurs shall also have
knowledge of business management, financial administration, marketing, and its service or production. It is not necessary
to be an expert in every sector. Besides, people can gain those skills and knowledge through training. The Finnish
Enterprise Agencies said, “Becoming an entrepreneur does not mean that you have to work as an entrepreneur forever.
You can think of this as one phase of your life and as a part of your whole career.”
Go-Health-Tea’s logo perfectly captures the heart of the brand by using elements that reflect that of encouraging
a healthier lifestyle. We didn’t take the concept of serving snacks too literally so you can’t see any element in the logo
that pertains to food. We intently made it this way so the focus of people will not go to food service but to the healthier
company’s core values which are Health, Wellness, and Satisfaction. Our tagline, “Delicious, Nutritious,” represents our
desire to serve delicious comfort food all while also keeping in mind that having nutritious food is just as important to
our customers.
Mission
To provide quality products and services that consistently exceed costumers’ expectations through the use
of technology, dedicated and skilled employees and the spirit of team work.
Vision
To provide a quality product that meet the desires and needs of the customer.
Build partnership with our suppliers and customers to create mutual value.
Maintain profitability by maximizing markets, having new products, efficient work force and processes.
Growth through continues market development and acquisitions related to our business.
2.4. Products
Veggie balls – made of vegetables that will be beneficial for your body. Some of the ingredients of the veggie ball
are carrots and potatoes. Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A (from beta-
carotene), biotin, vitamin K (phylloquinone), potassium and vitamin B6. Vitamin A: Carrots are rich in beta-
carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.While, potatoes are low in calories.They are a good source of
vitamins C and B6, fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, niacin and pantothenic acid. Carrots and potatoes
also contain plenty of anthocyanin. These vitamins do really need your body to remain healthy.
However, for those who are not fond of eating vegetables, they must not worry because once they try to have taste on
our product; they would not even recognize that it is made of vegetables.
And aside from the fact that are product bring good benefit to your health, the principals also assure that the services
of our personnel are good.
The strategic location of our first store, surrounded by two elementary schools, two subdivisions, and a
community of army reserves in a three-mile radius, gave us the confidence that Go-Health-Tea can achieve success in
Milk tea is also a growing trend in the Philippines, mainly because Filipinos, especially the youth, have recently
been heavily influenced by dramas originating from Korea and Taiwan—countries were drinking milk tea is also
popular.
While the sudden boom of milk tea shops can be seen as a threat, Go-Health-Tea saw it as an opportunity by
making sure we have a unique edge against our competitors in the area. That’s how we came up with the idea to combine
the concept of milk tea beverage and fried snacks in one, which was introduced by Kerrimo. Our competitors in the area,
Mang Chai Café, Blue Moon Bubbles Café, and Shakefrost, do not offer this 2-in-1 option for the prevailing market. In
addition, they don’t have the selling spiel that we have, which is offering healthier options while still keeping the value
and satisfaction one gets from delicious and affordable comfort food. Because we are a start-up and not a franchised
business, we also have the opportunity to price our products cheaper than our competitors and not be confined to the
There are risks inherent with any business, and probably our most critical risk in starting up Go-Health-Tea is not
relying on a franchise strategy complete with a business plan and everything one has to know about starting this kind of
business. However, we combated this by attending a milk tea training and workshop to learn the know-how’s of milk tea
making. Although it is easier to just franchise an already established brand, we have decided to found Go-Health-Tea
from the ground up so as to maximize our potential profit and return-on-investment. Our start may be a challenge since
Go-Health-Tea is still an unrecognized brand, but our products and services can help build up our credibility slowly but
surely.
Another risk is the chance that the market can become overly-saturated with milk tea shops. The solutions we
came up with are 1.) offering healthier options by using organic teas with health benefits and 2.) incorporating snacks to
Vegan Plate will be registered as a partnership type of entrepreneurial venture. John Michael Cells will be the
Managing Partner along with Albert Patrick Goles, George Roldan Goles, Ronil de Gracia, and Kevin Tuazon as the
Limited Partners.

Before we venture into opening new stores, we aim to gain more exposure for our brand and business by offering
our products during events. These include, but are not limited to, birthdays, reunions, school intramurals, school
recognitions, and school fares. Events like this where we can bring our healthy milk tea and snacks closer to more people
4. Market Analysis
Go-Health-Tea will build its first store in 55 Ilaya, Tres Cruses, Tanza, Cavite, strategically located with the
following schools, subdivisions, and establishments within a three-mile radius: Tanza National Trade School, Paradahan
Elementary School, Tres Cruses Elementary School, Sunrise Place Subdivision, Riego de Dios Village, Army Reserves
Command (ARESCOM). We have found this geographical segmentation to also be in line with our psychographic and
way because the areas mentioned above are majorly populated with the Class C1 and C2 market. We have taken into
account their average household budget and priced our products to make them affordable to them.
The market selection was based on the proximity of the establishments to the commercial space we chose to
lease. Aside from the pricing, we have also adjusted our marketing campaigns and overall design of the store to the taste
of the target market. This way, they can be heavily drawn to check out Go-Health-Tea and in the long run become loyal
Since majority of the population in the area are elementary and high school students, we are expecting them to try
our healthier snack options compared to that of our competitors. Parents of these children, once made aware, are also
expected to shift their preference to our healthier options. With Go-Health-Tea’s more holistic, simpler, and healthier
We will open our stores at 1:00 PM until 8:00 PM because these are the crucial hours where our target market can
feel the need to eat or crave a snack. The most crucial hour is believed to be between 5:00 to 6:00 PM because people are
usually on their way home from work or school, making our shop more accessible to them.
We are expecting more customers to come during the weekday because our geographical location is normally
more crowded on the weekday since they go to the area for work and school. However, we still have plenty of potential
customers on the weekend since we are nearby three residential subdivisions and communities.
During the school break/vacation, which is usually around the third week of March up to the last week of May,
we have estimated our sales to experience a dip. However, we have promos and marketing approaches ready to alleviate
strengths and weaknesses to see where we stand. This helped us establish strong and unique selling points that we can
offer the market. Below is a summary of our competitors and their strengths and weakness compared to ours.

As a start-up, Go-Health-Tea plans to carry out its marketing strategy by simply handing out leaflets around the
area of its operations. This will introduce the new milk tea and snacks brand to its target customers. Leaflets are cost-
efficient and can improve brand recall easily. This will also cause excitement on our grand opening date, which will be
stated in the leaflets. Our logo, and the vital information about our organic and healthier snack options, will be the
Pricing will be comparable to the competition but with the value added features of immediate convenience. Our
two-in-one snack is priced at PHP60 and higher for larger portions. This is very reasonably priced since most milk tea
shops offer their drinks at PHP70, or even higher for franchised businesses, without the inclusion of any snack.
In selling the products, the principals have many strategies to apply in promoting the business and let the public
easily get familiar to the products. Here are some of the strategies to be use. First is offer customers an exclusive preview
of the new product. Maybe the first 10 customers, we will give them a free taste for an exclusive tasting of the product.
These exclusive offers to loyal customers will make them feel good and keep them coming back. Second one is
Facebook Ads because facebook is particularly useful in concisely targeting the audience. Facebook is one of the better
ideas in promoting the product because the principals know that mostly of the customers and the people are using
Facebook. Facebook ads are an incredibly effective marketing tool because in just one click away and many people can
be one of the customers. And last is In-Store Promotions because entrepreneurs can also offer exclusive in-store
discounts, such as a buy-one-get-one-free or a percentage discount. The entrepreneurs could also market the product as
being exclusively available at our store only. But the promotion won’t last forever.
Since we are a small start-up business, our distribution strategy will be very concise and simple. We are going to
market everyday morning and buy all the ingredients that we need. To assure that the ingredients are fresh specially the
business organization for the venture. The Partners will provide funding from their own savings, which will cover start-
up expenses and provide a financial capital. It will be monitor in the daily operations to look after the business on a daily
basis. Employees must be well-selected in compliance with the specific job requirements for the positions.

7. Operations Plan
Go-Health-Tea will focus on providing two products in one, namely milk tea with tapioca pearls and natural
potato fries.
Our milk tea will be comprised of naturally brewed tea, powdered skim milk, sweetener, and ice. We will initially
offer three types of tea flavors, namely Chamomile, Hibiscus, and Green tea.
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is most commonly known for its calming effects and is frequently used as a sleep aid. Two
studies have examined the effects of chamomile tea or extract on sleep problems in humans. What’s more, chamomile
may not just be useful as a sleep aid. It is also believed to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting
effects.
Hibiscus Tea
Our second option, Hibiscus tea, is believed to have anti-viral effects and fights high blood pressure. A number of
studies have investigated the effects of hibiscus tea on high blood lipid levels. A few studies have found it to be effective.
Green Tea
Lastly, green tea has many benefits that keep it popular today. It keeps free radicals under control, reduces the
risk of cancer, and helps prevent heart disease. Flavanoids, the antioxidants in green tea, can also prevent brain damage
due to oxidative stress. People also enjoy green tea because it can assist with weight loss. Not only can it increase
endurance during exercise, but the catechins that are found in green tea increase the body's ability to burn fat, allowing
Continuing on our mission to provide better and healthier alternatives to our customers, we are changing the
conventional French fries served with artificial powder flavoring that we see everywhere and that students and most
adults order whenever they crave for a quick snack. Go-Health-Tea’s healthier alternative is actual potatoes locally-
produced by the people of Tanza, Cavite. We will cut the potatoes and fry them with the skin on to maximize the
nutrients our customers can receive from the snack. We will add very little salt as seasoning and have an option for
To control our product cost, we have decided to use powdered skim milk and sugar syrup. To finish off our milk
Our raw materials/ingredients will be delivered every start of the week, Sunday, and whenever additional
materials are needed if ever the demand exceeds the supply. Our suppliers are always readily available if ever this need
arises. We will produce the food as they are ordered with less than five minutes as target time of completion to serve the
orders.
To make sure customers don’t feel bored while waiting, we have minimized the waiting time by having our tea
As an establishment that serves food, we hold in high regard the cleanliness of our facilities and equipment. In
every purchase we do, we see to it that quality is our priority over price. Daily cleaning and maintenance is also a top
priority for our employees. As a start-up, we at Go-Health-Tea want to keep our reputation intact and tarnish-free, and
being mindful about the cleanliness of our facilities and equipment is non-negotiable.
For the convenience of our customers, our facilities are divided into three main parts: dining area with tables and
chairs, production area including cash register, and an all-gender restroom. This set-up is very conducive for our
customers to enjoy their time alone or with friends at the comforts of our milk tea shop.
Our list of equipment to create our products include a 12 liter thermos, refrigerator, scooper, 360ml shaker, 530ml
shaker, 700ml shaker, 24-piece canister, heavy duty blender, and ice crusher. For the facilities to be favorable, we have
an air conditioner, wall fan, Wi-Fi connection, and tables and chairs.
Go-Health-Tea will be located in 55 Ilaya, Tres Cruses, Tanza, Cavite. The company has secured a one-year lease
of the vacant 60 square meter premises. The lease contract is renewable every year.
The floor plan will include four tables with 16 chairs for our dine-in customers (50% of the area). Across the
tables and chairs will be the customer service area (40%) where the counter, cashier, and production area where we will
prepare all the customers’ orders will be located. The rest of the area (10%) will include the bathroom.
