Our Chicken noodle soup is made from scratch so you can taste the love that goes into every spoonful J.Ten’s desert changes every so often but our Molten Lava Cake is hard to pass up!

Market Analysis Our age range varies because we serve low cost healthy foods from highschoolers grabbing a quick bite, to baby boomers trying to stay on a healthy diet. Also since we are 5 min away from the beach during summer our range widens due to Tourist. In 2010 the US. Bureau of Labor’s Consumer Expenditure Survey said that the customers who spent the most were between the ages of and those are the consumers we target at J.Ten. On the other hand due to our location being so close to Torrey Pines Highschool are chances to profit from younger generation goes up!

MIS Solutions When starting J.Ten we had to pick the best MIS that fit our needs, that’s when we chose Michael Porter’s five forces model to define organizational strategy. We defined our competitive strategy as focused- differentiation: offering better service and products at the lowest possible prices in our industry segment.

Innovation To get ahead of the industry and streamline we thought about using a the POS systems made for Ipads which allows for much more freedom and not such a commitment to one style of POS systems, the cost of Ipads would go into our start up cost

J.Ten Overall J.Ten is a great concept because it has great location great food great business plan for success but most importantly has support by its local community.
