SWOT Analysis
Strengths First “Take ‘N’ Bake pizza chain Able to create your own pizza- allows customization (taste in your own hands) Can bake pizza any time you want- convenience Gourmet toppings without the gourmet price (cheaper) Every day fresh and high quality ingredients Eliminates the wait-to-order. Sells not only pizza, but appetizers, deserts, salad, beverages, etc. Low overhead due to no delivery and baking in house.
Weaknesses Not open late nights (only from 11am-9pm) Pick-ups only- no delivery Weak mobile and online ordering system No immediate pizza to eat- must bake on your own (not “hot and ready”) Hard to spot signage from road Does not maximize profits because they would have to throw out non-fresh items. There is no instant satisfaction Marketing in larger sales- Television, Mobile apps, magazines, etc.
Opportunities Located near schools and grocery stores Inform college students of the advantages of baking their own pizza Have an option of baked pizza ready (Hot ‘N’ Ready) Offer discounts for unsatisfied customers Offer wings, more food Grocery store integration Market to singles/ bachelors Health care costs affecting delivery chains’ profits
Threats Increased prices on ingredients New “Take and Bake” competitors Grocery stores producing more frozen pizza to sell For offering new foods- maybe the customers would not like the quality, food, etc. Cooked pizza could lose to their competitors
