I. Executive Summary
Traditionally, ice scrambles are pink, sweet, and colorful because of its
ingredients such as food coloring and sugar; whereas Cramble Brew’s
coffee-flavored ice scrambles are not so sweet because of the coffee but toppings
are available to make your ice scramble sweeter and creamier to balance the taste
with the bitterness of coffee. Lots of ice scramble businesses have also discovered
different flavors of ice scramble such as ube, pandan, mango, chocolate, etc. As
mentioned earlier, iced coffees are “in” these days; however, it is costly and mostly
available on mall stalls or stand alone stalls. Because of this, Cramble Brew will offer
cold coffee in an ice scramble form to provide cold coffee that everyone can afford.
Coffee-flavored ice scrambles of Cramble Brew are available in different sizes such
as small in an 8 ounce cup, medium in a 12 ounce cup, and large in a 16 ounce cup.
Furthermore, as plastic pollution continues to eradicate the cleanliness of our
environment, we will eliminate the use of plastics in packaging our product. Biscuit
straws will be an alternative for the plastic straws to support the environmental
development of our community. The owner of Cramble Brew has enough
experience in selling goods, making beverages, and managing finances to operate
the whole business.
5
It is the strength of the company to need inexpensive ingredients to make a
product and its proximity to suppliers and prospective customers as well. Its
packaging is also appealing to its customers as Gen Zs prefer sustainability over
aesthetics. On the other hand, the sales of Cramble Brew may decline during the
rainy season as it is cold during those times. Yet, cold coffee lovers may still buy
from our store despite the weather. We also have the opportunity to expand our
coffee flavors or make our products flexible by letting the customers request to omit
certain ingredients. However, given the fact that our business's proximity to
suppliers and customers, we are also nearby other stores which offer snacks and
beverages. Still, Cramble Brew will ensure to provide quality products to keep its
customers with it.
As the manufacturer, we will be getting raw materials from the supplier, then
the products that will be produced by our business will be given to the
customers–which demand raw materials. The promotion of our products will be
mainly posted on our social media accounts but physical flyers will also be
distributed and tarpaulins will also be hanged.
The manufacturing process of the product will be done at home. The process
includes crushing of ice, mixing, and stirring of the raw ingredients together with the
ice. Other materials that are for toppings will be sprinkled on the ice scramble and
insert a biscuit straw or chocolate wafer stick on it. Although the manufacturing
6
business is based at home, it is only near the suppliers where the raw ingredients
will be bought.
The cashier and barista are a very important part of this business for they are
the ones who create the actual product and record the transaction between the
business and the consumer. Qualifications are set for each position together with
their roles and responsibilities.
Lastly, the pro forma income statement and pro forma balance sheet are
presented to show the forecast of the business for the coming months and year.
Ice scramble is a Filipino delicacy that is made from milk and sugar that is put
together with shaved ice. It is a famous street food even in the earlier decades.
Today, an idea was thought of putting a twist on an ice scramble which is to
integrate coffee and add chocolate chips, brownie crumbs, and cookie crumbs.
Cramble Brew will be the best spot to go to if you are looking for a
traditional yet unique coffee experience. Trying out offering coffee-flavored ice
scrambles is a good business to start. According to McDonell (2022), while more
people are visiting coffee shops, the country’s preferred type of coffee is instant or
soluble coffee. Thus, with demand for coffee increasing over the last decade, it
appears to be a promising prospect.
7
B. Business Structure
Most businesses offer ice scrambles that only include milk, sugar, and food
coloring. Others offer different flavors such as buko pandan, strawberry, ube, melon,
and chocolate. There is no business yet that offers coffee-flavored ice scramble.
With that, an idea popped up to make ice scramble in a new way by integrating
coffee without compromising its affordability. Iced coffee is the go-to drink of most
people these days, especially students who are often seen with iced coffee on their
hands. Thus, Cramble Brew will start offering cold coffee at a much affordable price.
D. Products
There are people who like coffee but are not allowed to take too much of it
like children, elderly, or people with diseases that prohibit them from drinking
coffee. Therefore, we can give them options on lowering the caffeine level and have
more milk on their coffee cramble. Essentially, as plastic pollution keeps on
8
fostering our planet, Cramble Brew uses paper cups and biscuit straws to be
economical and promote sustainability.
F. Background of Entrepreneur
A. Industry Overview
9
forced the ice scramble business to take a back seat when hepatitis rumors became
too widespread to ignore in the late 1980s. Second, it injected new concepts to the
scrambling realm: the ice breaker chain, for example, offers unusual toppings such
as krispies and ground-up Oreo cookies.
B. Target Market
Cramble Brew targets coffee lovers from high school to college students who
have limited allowances and are always on a budget. Students often drink coffee to
feel awake, improve concentration and mood, increase physical energy, and
alleviate stress. They need coffee to boost their productivity and energy since they
are studying and doing school requirements. Students at schools or universities and
colleges nowadays are avid coffee-lovers that they buy it before, in between, and/or
after class. Cramble Brew offers affordable goods that are capable for their budget,
a well-packaged product to keep its coolness and taste, loyalty cards for customers
who always buy our product, and a variety of toppings. The company also promotes
sustainability by using paper cups–instead of plastics–and edible straw. High school
and college students are usually into social media to shop, learn, and discover new
things. With the help of social media, it will be easier for the business to connect
with its consumers and promote the products to them.
A. Direct Competitors
2. CM’ Ice Scrambles and Milkshake. This company offers two flavors of
ice scrambles in one cup by using a plastic cup with a divider. CM’ Ice
Scrambles and Milkshake has also been recognized by GMA as it has
10
been featured on ‘Dapat Alam Mo,’ the newest news magazine
program by GMA Network.
3. DAD’s Pinoy Ice Scramble. This business offers a wide variety of flavors
of ice scramble including mango, pandan, ube, chocolate, melon, and
the classic pink. They also offer ice scrambles that are packaged in a
tupperware containing 1000 ml of the product. Additionally, DAD’s
Pinoy Ice Scramble was also featured in Unang Hirit–the longest
running morning television news broadcasting and talk show–and
iJuander–a television news magazine show–that is both broadcasted
by the GMA Network.
B. Indirect Competitors
Our product stands out from the competitors because our ice scramble has a
coffee taste that is new to the market, and we are offering it at such an affordable
price that it is ideal for students who enjoy coffee but prefer it in cold state.
11
Essentially, its economical packaging is best for achieving a sustainable future for its
customers.
C. SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The greatest strength of our business is its proximity to the suppliers and
customers in spite of it being home based. It also consists of new flavor in the
ice-scramble industry that would entice the consumers. Another strength is its
sustainability as the company serves products in a plastic-free packaging. The newly
established business also produces quality products with coffee-flavors integrated
into an ice scramble. Significantly, the owner is well-experienced and credible.
Weakness
The weakness of the business is the seasonal sales of the product. The sales
of Cramble Brew may decrease during gloomy days or rainy seasons. Ice scramble
was connoted as a dirty snack as it caused hepatitis in the previous decades.
However, we can ensure the cleanliness of our ice scramble by implementing
sanitary measures and creating the actual product in front of our customers.
Additionally, we have only allotted a limited budget for our advertising needs.
Opportunities
People who love coffee will have a different variety and option than just an
ordinary coffee they usually taste because we offer unique flavorful sweet toppings.
The coffee-flavored ice scrambled will be based on their wanted and desired flavors.
Consumers can simply choose what toppings they want on their coffee cramble. We
can accumulate more customers as we improve the flexibility of our products.
Threats
To begin with, competitors will always be the main threat of any business. In
our case, the business is in line with food services. Due to this situation, the
customers will be portioned because of the fact that the location of the business is
nearby other food stores.
12
IV. Marketing Plan
A. Pricing
To come up with the selling price of our product, cost-plus pricing is used.
13
B. Distribution
C. Promotion
Cramble Brew will mainly use Social Media Advertising as our way of
promoting since we only have limited sources of funds. Nevertheless, this will help
us boost our business as our target market mostly uses social media such as
Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and the likes. This is also where we will post
announcements for new products or flavors and update our menu.
Our business will offer free taste on its opening day and offer a 10%
discount for students who brought a reusable straw once they present their
identification card. We will announce promos and new flavors through posting on
different social media platforms, post an announcement physically at our physical
store and distribute flyers to inform our customers about it.
14
D. Product
Packaging
The packaging of our product will produce economic benefits as Cramble
Brew uses paper cups and biscuit straws to eradicate single-use plastics as a
material for packaging and also reduce plastic-pollution. Cramble Brew promotes a
plastic-free environment and values sustainability more than aesthetics.
Features
One of the great features of our product is its unique toppings which are
chocolate chips, cookie crumbs, and brownie crumbs which are not usually seen as
toppings on other beverages. Our coffee crambles are also customizable.
Customers may request to omit some syrup or toppings that they do not want on
their coffee ice scramble, especially if consumers do not like it to be too sweet.
Quality
Other than the use of sustainable packaging, our product is of great quality
ingredients and caters to the health of our customers. Moreover, the ice will not be
easily melted because Cramble Brew uses a paper cup with aluminum foil to
prolong the life of the product as it contains shaved ice.
Usability
The freshness and coolness of the product can be maintained or kept cool.
Cramble Brew assures to prolong usability of the products; however, it must be
consumed immediately for it cannot be kept for a long span of time.

C. Payment Process
There are different payment options that can be used. However, in our case,
customers can only pay through two options:
1. Cash. This is one of the most common and easiest forms of payment.
However, cash is slowly going out of favor with younger consumers.
Since our target market is younger consumers, the next option would
be the most convenient way for them.
● Tables and chairs. Tables will be used to put our ingredients and
equipment. Chairs will be used by the employees to take a rest
from standing, as well as the customers while waiting for their
order.
● Plastic containers. This is where the ingredients will be stored
such as coffee powder, chocolate chips, etc.
● Ladle and spoons. These tools are used for stirring the coffee
cramble and putting ingredients/toppings.
● Electric Stirrer. This equipment is common for industries such as
food, beverage, as well as cosmetics. In Cramble Brew, it will be
very useful as it automates the repetitive tasks which are
needed on mixing the ice with coffee.
● Electric Ice Crusher. This will be used for making blocks of ice
into crushed ice. This is important to convert ice into a form that
is easy to eat.
18
● Cooler. It is a container as an insulated chest, in which
something may be kept cool. This is functional to the business
as it is needed to keep the coffee cramble in low temperature.
● Lights. These are needed to keep the area lit, especially at night
to keep it seen along the road.
● Fan. It is an equipment needed for the stall to keep ourselves
cool from the heat of the sun; especially the business is in a
tropical country.

Maxene started a part time job as a barista in a coffee shop owned by her
aunt in the previous year and received a good recognition because of her skills in
making coffee with a great taste. She has a skill in making and serving quality
beverages. As she is also a coffee lover, she likes experimenting with different
coffee flavors. She has a strong ability to multi-task which is good if the shop has to
manage lots of customers. Maxene has a good memory and is also great at
communicating and working with different people.

as ensuring that the organization meets them. Customers may be invoiced,
delinquent accounts must be collectected, the accounting system must be kept up
to date, and bank statements may be reconciled by the owner.
21

mixes all the ingredients together. She is also in charge of serving the order of the
customers. Welcoming the guests warmly is also part of her job. They also clean and
sanitize their work areas, seating areas, as well as the equipment and tools.
Development of Employees
By giving our staff all the tools and resources they need to execute their jobs
properly is the first step in ensuring their success. As the team grows, it can be put
into effect from an employee’s first day on the job and beyond by developing a
knowledge base of vital information and best practices for new recruits.

VII. Financial Plan
With a target sales of 9 units per day—3 units of small which is 25 pesos
each, 3 units of medium which is 33 pesos each and 3 units of large which is 42
pesos each—Cramble Brew can accumulate 300 pesos of sales per day. With 75
pesos sales for small, 99 pesos sales for medium, and 126 pesos sales for large each
day; that sums up to 9,000 pesos of sales per month.
