CHAPTER 1
1.0 Introduction
Urban migration has brought immense implications on business activities in the cities of many countries. As of 2010, urban dwellers constitute 64% of the total population in Ghana. Workers in all fields thus have to wake up very early to avoid being late to work as a result of intense traffic. This daily routine has made it more difficult for most workers who have busy schedules to have breakfast before starting the day’s work. This has created avenues for private breakfast services to provide breakfast services for workers at various food stands in the city. Workers, however, still form queues to get their breakfast at the various standpoints as a result of increasing demands leading most of them to forfeit breakfast for fear of reporting late at work. For this reason, MAG Breakfast intends to meet this rising demand by providing “at your doorstep” delivery services comprising breakfast ranging from cereal, grain and porridge.

2.8 Who is involved?
The competition facing MAG Food and Delivery Services Limited is vast. This includes every eating establishment in the Accra and Tema townships. The major competitor is Koko King Ltd, who also operate similar line of business. Also, some restaurants in Accra and Tema such as KFC, Azeemera, Food Sta and many other "mom and pop" style organizations serve as secondary competitors because they provide some element of breakfast food. However, these companies do not have the breakfast food as their main service, but rather as an ancillary business segment.
Furthermore, there is a large number of substitute suppliers from grocery stores that offer pre-packaged meals. Drawing any sort of general conclusions from these vast array of secondary competitors is difficult, but it can be said that every conceivable product or service idea, and just about every taste is encompassed within this group.
Also, many of the road-side breakfast sellers, due to lack of funds, are not able to carry out profitable marketing strategies. MAG Food and Delivery Services Limited intends to leverage its locational advantage to create higher profits that will in turn fuel marketing efforts.

Therefore the promoter of Mag Food and Delivery Services Limited believes that there is significant opportunity to gain local market share.
To overcome the existing competition, MAG Food and Delivery Services Limited had chosen business locations in Accra and Tema that are critical to success since proximity to the target market (middle class workforce) provide convenience and satisfaction.
Parking for the end-of-workday traffic stopping to pick up takeout dishes. Also, our pricing strategy is not very sensitive because products are priced a bit lower than the market price. Though low price is not essential, because many target customers may mistrust low prices, the prices are not too high to deter the middle-income class. Also, through the provision of quality and healthy food, given price a moderate price level, the company will have growth through repeat business. Also, our focus is an advantage. By focusing on established businesses as customers, and on organic source of food item from suppliers, the company will draw customers from the existing major competitor.
