Growth of Café Industry in India
Hot beverages have always been a part of the tradition of India, especially South
India. Coffee took the first seat in South India when the traditional Brahmin
classes brought down. In order to spread the drink, coffee houses emerged at
various places in the country, which also served as the opposite places for lawyers
and the educated class to hold discussions ranging from politics to cinema. It is
also believed that many scripts and ideas for films evolved here.
The drink also became famous and as a result even five star hotels began cashing
in on it. Several hotels all over the country started opening coffee- shops that
catered to high- end customers. This showed the popularization of coffee cafés, to
all sections of society.
The drink has now become more of a concept than merely a drink itself. The last
decade witnesses the growth of numerous coffee pubs in the country. A number
of coffee café owners tried to westernize the taste in contrast to the filter coffee.
Now, large retail chains like Qwikys, Barista, and Café Coffee Day have opened up
around the country. The concept of a café today is not merely about selling
coffee, but about developing a national brand. Retail cafés now form a multi-crore
industry in the country, and have huge potential for growth locally, and
internationally.
The more than US $150 million organized coffee retail business in India is coming
into its own, fed by rising incomes and a fast-food sector that is growing at 40 per
cent annually. Coffee consumption has increased from 55,000 tons to 80,000 tons
after decades of stagnation. Industry sources say the niche coffee retail format is
NEHA SINGHAL14619201712 Page 13
PROJECT ON COMPLETE STUDY OF CAFÉ COFFEE DAY
growing at 10-12 per cent a year, with branded coffee accounting for 53 per cent
of sales, unbranded 40 per cent and cafes 7 per cent.

Promotion
Café Coffee Day does not believe in mass media promotions. But they are
involved in all the areas of serious consumer passion.
Through television
Café Coffee Day held a contest around a very popular programmed on Zee English
called Friends. All the six lead characters are shown often visiting a coffee shop
and a lot of youth like watching the programme. That is why they had a contest
running where customers could win Friends' merchandise. The linkage was that it
is a youth based programme and it had a coffee house.
They have tied up with Channel [V]'s Get Gorgeous contest. The reason being that
a lot of their young consumers are interested in careers. Modeling is a career that
a lot of youngsters are interested in and this was an excellent platform. They have
also done promotion for History Channel, where they have run promotion for
Hollywood Heroes. They had asked a few question and a lucky winner won a trip
to Hollywood.
Ticket sales
Café Coffee Day is involved in ticket sales in quite a few events, Enrique being one
of them. They were involved in WWE, Elton John, and Bryan Adams ticket sales.
These acts are very much appreciated by their consumers. It helps both the
organizers as well as Café Coffee Day. Organizers need to tell people where the
tickets are available and single Café Coffee Day logo says it all. From Café Coffee
Day’s point of view, they always ask for a certain amount of tickets around which
NEHA SINGHAL14619201712 Page 20
PROJECT ON COMPLETE STUDY OF CAFÉ COFFEE DAY
they have a contest. Couples can win ticket for free. This in turn raises the
awareness level as cafe staff approaches the consumers to inform them about the
contest. There is not a better publicity mechanism then the person who is serving
you telling you about the same.

PROJECT ON COMPLETE STUDY OF CAFÉ COFFEE DAY
cafes are students.18% of the customers’ visit the cafes daily while another 44% visit weekly. Each café, depending upon its size attracts between 500 and 800 customers daily, mainly between 4pm and 7 pm. Customers describe Café Coffee Day as the place they frequent most after “home and workplace/college”. It is a place where they meet friends and colleagues, in groups of 3 or more. The prices here are perceived to be reasonable and it is a place where customers come to rejuvenate themselves and be themselves rather than a place to be “seen at” vis a vis other cafes. Café Coffee Day, at its inception in 1996 was the vanguard of a café culture in India. At a time when the country was growing well economically and young India enjoyed higher spending power, CCD as it is popularly known, started to set up the first retail chain of coffee bars. It broke new ground in 1999 when the entire market grew phenomenally with the entry of new players.
From the beginning, it positioned itself as being a coffee bar and has maintained that positioning for a long time now. For a consumer, CCD represents a “fun place” where one can go with a whole bunch of friends at any time of the day and have a good time, over coffee.
In 2002, Café Coffee Day underwent a rebranding exercise through a change in its logo. The earlier logo was a simple red square with a white streak running across, and ‘Coffee Day’ written at the bottom. At this stage, CCD was still perceived as a South Indian coffee joint similar to the Coffee House in Kolkata, a place where intellectuals meet and spend their time discussing issues. CCD saw a latent market in youngsters, who were increasingly looking for a place to spend time with friends and have fun. It then created an umbrella mother brand, Coffee Day and four subbrands to represent the various activities. The logo then incorporated red, white and green colours, a larger font and emphasis on the word ‘Café’. According to the company, red signifies leadership and passion and the white swirl stands for purity of purpose and the feel of coffee. The new colour green endorsed the long heritage of CCD in growing coffee.

This exciting concept has been successfully tested at 15 cafes in 12 cities across India and the numbers are set to grow exponentially. CCD has tied up with English Book Depot, one of India’s leading book distributors for placement and rotation of reading materials appealing to Café Coffee Day’s discerning customers.

PROJECT ON COMPLETE STUDY OF CAFÉ COFFEE DAY
Descriptive Research-
A research design in which the major emphasis is on determining the frequency
with which something occurs. For example, how often users access internet in a
given month. The focus of descriptive research is to provide an accurate
description for something that is occurring.

NEHA SINGHAL14619201712 Page 43
PROJECT ON COMPLETE STUDY OF CAFÉ COFFEE DAY
sample is known as sample size. Sampling is a tool which enables us to draw
conclusion about the characteristics of the population after studying only those
subjects or items that are included in the sample. In sampling method only few
units of the population is considered. The choice of an appropriate sampling
design is of keeping in view the objectives and scope of the enquiry and the type
of the universe to be sampled.
Sampling techniques:
Random sampling
Non random sampling

A random sampling is done in such a way that each member of the universe has a
change of being selected, which enables statistics procedures to be used under
the result to estimate sampling.
Non random sampling:
In the non-random sampling the chance of any particular unit in the population
being selected is unknown. The judgments sampling method under non-random
sampling method was adopted for the study with a sample size of 100
respondents, which are chosen in a judgment manner from the customer. In this
method a designed number of sample unit is selected deliberately or purposely
depending upon the objectives of the enquirer so that only the important items
representing the true characteristics of the population are included in the sample.
