BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROJECT

This Project or business we are really like to put up in near future, because not all the time we

can work into other company.

We had only had a few years in one company you cant stay in a company in a long years or

until you are resigning, No job is forever is yours.

But there is a exemption if you had your own company you can stay as long as your company

still in demand in market

But you need to be ready in what, ever problem that you will going to encounter in that particular

incident you need some extra income or a financial help by loaning in a bank or, if you had your

own savings prepare in these kind of project.

We are so excited to having our own coffee shop or chocolate shop. My passion and creativity in

baking and cooking some different kinds of food is now much needed in this feasibility study.

Because so many family friends and other people, told us why dont you open some a small cake

house or a restaurant so that my talent can share to other people, so that they can taste the food

that, I cook.

Since we dont have a extra savings, we only accepting some orders in house and they going to

pick up it when is the time they are needed.

We cook if what only costumers order and we a lot sometime 2 to 3 days they need to order inadvance, we accepting some custom design most of the time.

I like to meet the satisfaction of the customer so that they well came back again and ordering.

For me the creativity of the costumer and their dream of the desserts or cakes they wish for the

special days of their life.

My desserts and chocolate cakes if is still in the market for 5 years, I think these time its time to

move on into the next level by opening some chocolate shop.

that you know your place in the community. A business is more than just running a company for

the sake of making a profit for yourself, and your employees. In some towns, the local business

can mean a source of income, tax revenue for the city, and a means in which people can make a

better life for themselves.

If you are at the helm of a larger business, you may be the vehicle for which the town gets money

for community projects, or other works that help the community.

A business is responsible for making sure that the community is helped out by its presence as

much as the community helps out the business. For example, the local grocery store in my town

helps sponsor an LPGA tournament, gives out scholarships, and gives thousands of people jobs

every year, and was the leading employer of the town.

When they give out scholarships they are helping thousands of people get an education. Education

is key to the foundation of a productive society, and by helping them get a degree, they help open

doors to the future for those given the opportunity to go to college.

Other initiatives taken by local businesses also include donating to the United Way, and having a

drive every year to help Foodlink, a local food bank in the area.

Every year local businesses spend about a month just raising money for the organization using

many different approaches.

They include having cookouts, asking for donations at cash registers, and having raffles, and othercommunity events that can benefit Foodlink.

When a business takes the in to help out its community, it is performing its obligations to the

town in which the business is running.

As long as the community is willing to put its hard earned money into the coffers of a business,

the business has an obligation to become a part of the community of which it is operating.

Just like anything else in life, those who are given a lot must give back at some point. If a

business just came to a town, asked for community support, but did nothing in return, what kind

of business would that be?

It is irresponsible to make millions in profits, and take the money, labor, and support of the

community, and not give back. Not only does that not make for a good citizen in the community,

but eventually it will cost you money. The community is willing to support business, but the

business must give back, and show that it cares.
