INTRODUCTION BREADTALK
BreadTalk Group was incorporated in Singapore in April 2000 as BreadTalk Pte Ltd and has since become a distinctive brand in Singapore that has gained international appeal. It was founded by the current Managing Director, George Quek and his wife, Executive Director, Katherine Lee. The first BreadTalk retail outlet opened on 1st July 2000 at Parco Bugis Junction. A second outlet opened within 5 months, in December 2000, at Novena Square, followed by the first HDB heartlands outlet in Bishan. In September 2001, BreadTalk invested $3 million to set up a central kitchen at KA FoodLink, Kampong Ampat to prepare for growth and franchise operations. Initially, BreadTalk outlets offered about 50 varieties of breads, buns, cakes and pastries, but this has grown to over 150 varieties today. In addition, during 2001, another five retail outlets were opened. As of April 2003, BreadTalk had 22 retail outlets in Singapore with staff strength at 434. In the same month, it opened its first franchise outlet in Jakarta. In June, BreadTalk underwent an initial public offering (IPO), constituting of 32 million shares (28.8 million by placement and 3.2 million by public offer) at an offer price of S$0.24 per share. In September, the Group diversified into the restaurant business by operating a franchise of the world-renowned Din Tai Fung brand of restaurants in Singapore. In 2005, BreadTalk penetrated further into the China market by acquiring Topwin Investment Holding Pte Ltd which owns and operates 13 food courts under the award-winning brand Megabite in China. In the same year, the Group entered a joint venture with Ristoranti Group to open 2 Food Republic food courts in Suntec City and VivoCity in Singapore1, both featuring retrospective style and décor, as well as one in Hong Kong‟s Cityplaza in Tai Koo Shing. In addition, Toast Box, a traditional kopitiam-styled coffee house serving coffee and toast to customers in an atmosphere of pop culture in fashion and music reminiscent of the 1950‟s-60s

colonial era in Singapore2, was opened as a food stall unit of Food Republic in Wisma Atria Singapore. As of December 2006, the Group owned and operated 57 bakery outlets in Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Thailand. The BreadTalk brand has also rapidly infiltrated the region with 73 franchised outlets in Indonesia, the Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India and China.3 BreadTalk Group now operates 5 Din Tai Fung restaurants in Singapore located in shopping centers which enjoy high human traffic. On 17 Dec 2007, BreadTalk Group Limited entered into a franchise agreement to acquire and manage the J. Co Donuts & Coffee, an Indonesian brand.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
As the business is going well, we need to redesign the IT infrastructure and the online system to be more efficient. The reason is also because the business has expanded across several geographical locations, not only in Singapore and also over sea. In order to increase sales in next year, 2010, we need to improve our system to help customer order online easily and conveniently. Thus, we need to make E-Commerce transactions on our website to provide new services for customer. Extensive communication is provided among the staff and customers. The customers can have their feedback online, fast and easy to reach the staff.

BUSINESS RULES
1) Market segmentation and market analysis:
BreadTalk‟s direct competitors in its bakery business include large and diverse groups of bakery chains and individual operators. Competitors include Bengawan Solo, Delifrance, Four Leaves, Prima Deli Bakery, Crystal Jade Bakery as well as bakeries at various shopping malls, hotels and neighborhoods. Competitors provide similar product offerings at highly competitive prices. It is observed that neighborhood bakeries sell its pastries at a significantly cheaper price compared to other types of bakeries. Six bakeries, which are selected to be most similar to BreadTalk in terms of product offerings, price ranges and locations were documented in detail.
Peer Bengawan Solo Business Analysis  This cake and „kueh‟ (traditional pastry) retail chain targets the premium market segment based on nearly everything from the sophisticated décor of its shops to the pricing of its products.  It is generally perceived as having an authentic and traditional recipe. The quality of Bengawan Solo‟s cakes and pastries are generally regarded as high and very consistent despite its long presence in the industry. It could threaten BreadTalk‟s premium-priced products although Bengawan Solo generally has lesser varieties while BreadTalk keeps innovating new products.

Cyrstal Jade Kitchen

 This bakery is unique because it actually takes up a small section of its other business which is the Crystal Jade Kitchen restaurant.  It uses a complementary strategy of attracting customers who are already dining in the restaurant to savor treats from the bakery as a form of appetizer or dessert. Its products are generally quite similar in variety and price as BreadTalk, based on common Chinese delicacies hence making it a close competitor. Both companies also have restaurants as corporate strategies.  A very close competitor of BreadTalk because it constantly innovates with new products and customers has a large variety to choose from.  It sells popular local delicacies such as floss buns, it also has a comprehensive range of other products such as cakes, Swiss pastries and French bread. Its retail strategy is very similar to BreadTalk, having stores at high volume areas with attractive décor.

Four Leaves

Prima Deli

 It offers products very similar to traditional bakeries in the heartlands.  Like BreadTalk, its products are priced at a premium.  Most, if not all of its retail activities are concentrated in upscale places such as shopping centers.  Its cakes and pastries could pose both as a close competitor and as a mainstay substitute to BreadTalk‟s products which are primarily innovative concoctions.

Q-Bread

 Like Four Leaves and BreadTalk, Q-Bread‟s strategy is to locate in strategic upscale areas with a high volume of traffic. Retail space is generally small and many varieties of buns and pastries litter its shelves.  Bread is a close competitor with BreadTalk because of similar prices and introduction of similar products which are reincarnations of previous ones.  Sweet Secrets is synonymous with innovation and creative products. That is why it is probably BreadTalk‟s greatest threat.  Without resorting to hype-generating media coverage, Sweet Secrets competes from a different perspective. It incorporates technological processes such as its latest invention “Photo cakes” where food colorings are used to replicate prints on cake surfaces. It also has licenses with Disney to use images of characters such as Winnie the Pooh in its products.

   

Global marketplace - Your web site can be accessed from anywhere in the world, which now means you could sell to anyone ANYWHERE. No middleman - By selling directly to the customers you can now cut out the middleman. 24 Hour business - If your web site can process payment information you can now be open 24 hours a day! Increased customer information - Instead of posting your latest brochure or clients account statement, why not allow them to access it via your web site?

The Internet can open up new avenues for your business to buy and sell products or services online, with such activities generically referred to as ecommerce. The business relationships provided by ecommerce can be broadly split into two main areas: 1. Business to consumer (B2C) - where you sell products or services directly to individual consumers 2. Business to business (B2B) - where you sell goods or services to other businesses Reference: seyeneco.n.d
