Case Study

A family-owned caf that has a single location in a large city, where they sell desserts and coffee. The business is owned by Frank and Martha, a husband-and-wife team who work at the caf. Their daughter, Sofa, and their other employee, Nikhil, a secondary school student, also work at the caf. The caf currently does not have a marketing strategy. They mostly gain new customers when someone walks by, notices the caf, and decides to give it a try.

The caf has a reputation for high-quality desserts and coffees, but its reputation is limited to people who have visited or heard about them from their customers. Sofa suggested that they should expand community awareness of what the cafe has to offer. Frank and Martha agreed. The caf does not have a web presence yet, and they do not currently use cloud computing services. After the caf launched the first version of its website, the cafs customers told Sofa and Nikhil how nice the website looks. They liked that they could quickly look up the business hours online and browse through the available desserts before coming in to pick up food and drinks for their work colleagues. However, in addition to the praise, customers often asked Sofa and Nikhil whether they could place online orders to schedule for pickup. Sofa, Nikhil, Frank, and Martha discussed the situation. They agreed that their business strategy and decisions should focus on delighting their customers and providing them with the best possible cafe experience. They want to improve their services to increase customer satisfaction, reduce customer wait times, and make ordering more convenient for customers who are in a hurry. To meet these objectives, the caf wants the website to display more than static content. They want to introduce online ordering for customers and enable caf staff to view submitted orders. Their current website architecture, where the website is hosted on Amazon S3, will not support the new business requirements.
