Stacking Success: Launching Your Way To Funding Your

Issue

Do you know how it feels when you crave a delicious sub sandwich, but can’t find one that’s decent? Well, Tom knows all about it. Tom is a busy professional who likes to grab a bite at his favorite fast food chain. One day Tom decided to change things up and try something different. He hunted down a sandwich shop that could provide quality subs at an affordable price. After riding for over an hour, he gave up and settled for his regular fast food chain, disappointed and hungry.

It is a common problem that many people face every day. A lack of availability or quality sandwich options outside of overpriced cafes or chains is a real problem. Not everyone has the time or energy to search for a great sandwich that fits their budget and taste preferences. The problem we are trying to solve is the lack of access to affordable, high quality sandwiches that meet customer preferences.

The problem we face is relevant because the food and beverage market has a substantial impact on people’s daily lives. With the rise of fast-paced modern life, working professionals and students prefer quick and affordable food options. Sandwiches, being one of the most popular fast food items, need local stores that cater to the masses.

Current solutions include fast food chains that offer sandwiches on their menu or overpriced cafes that sell sandwiches as a specialty. Some restaurants and cafes offer delivery services, but these are often limited by location and availability. The only other option for a good quality sandwich is to make one at home, which can be time consuming and not always the best option.

The problem exists because there are limited options available for affordable quality sandwiches in the market. Sandwiches are the food of choice for many people looking for a quick and satisfying meal. Therefore, there is a real need for accessible and affordable sandwich shops that can cater to the needs and preferences of the masses.

Competition

In the sandwich market, Subway, Quiznos, and Jimmy John are major competitors, offering a variety of customizable and quick-serve sandwiches. Starbucks, Panera and Dunkin’ Donuts are also competitors, using their established brand recognition to offer sandwiches as part of their menus. Online meal delivery services like Grubhub and Uber Eats also offer sandwiches on delivery.

Despite their popularity, these competitors have weaknesses. For example, many sandwiches are standardized and lack unique local flavors. Quick serve sandwiches often make pre-packaged, pre-made sandwiches that lack value and taste. Online meal delivery services may not offer the same quality ingredients or personalized experience as a walk-in sandwiches would.

Our competitive advantages

We believe our ability to provide quality custom sandwiches using locally sourced ingredients gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our USPs include our attention to detail, high quality ingredients, and commitment to sustainability by using recycled materials and reducing waste. Additionally, we are committed to paying our employees fair wages and providing them with a positive work environment.

We differentiate ourselves from our competition by offering seasonal, locally sourced sandwiches and classic gourmet sandwiches that are made to order. We believe our sandwiches have unique flavors that reflect local tastes while offering recognizable sandwich options, such as pastrami and Rubens.

We will need to focus on marketing to differentiate ourselves from competitors with established brand recognition. Advertising our quality ingredients, attention to detail, personalized approach and local culinary style will help us attract customers.

Loyalty of the clientele

Starbucks, Panera and Dunkin’ Donuts may be able to attract our customers because they have an established brand with a loyal following. Online delivery services can also take away some of our customers if they are looking for convenience. However, we believe that by providing premium quality, local ingredients, personalized sandwiches and a sustainable approach, we can retain the loyalty of our customers.
