OBSTACLES FACED BY NEW BUSINESS
COMPETITION
Cendol is one of the most desirable traditional desserts in Malaysia. In addition, Malaysia’s weather
benefits from a tropical climate with high temperatures throughout the year. Therefore many
Cendol stall could be found almost everywhere especially in Klang where they are often famous in
Cendol and as well for Penang where commonly known as the place of food paradise.
In addition, it is very challenging to compete to those existing shops some are already around for
quite some time as they gain more trust and loyalty from customers. In Oder to overcome this
problem, they must either have some unique feature or recipe that seems different from others
and make your dessert stand out among the other competitors so that u could attract more
customers and to persuade more newcomers.
ATTRACTING AND RETAINING CUSTOMERS
Small businesses usually find it more difficult to attract and retain customers because they usually
don’t have large enough marketing budgets to compete with the advertising spending that other
larger business can spend.
You need to be creative and strategic enough to attract new customers. Online marketing, search
engine optimization and social media are great ways to attract and retain customers especially
during the 21st century, if you have a smaller budget.
Here’s a key If you are not sure who the members of your target market are and what they like or
dislike about your dessert, start by polling your existing customers and consider doing additional
market research.
QUALITY
Usually those businesses that provide normal services of food quality seldom improve their sales or
popularity. It’s hard to maintain the original unique taste, as it’s hard to train come of your
employees to get the right taste. Therefore it’s a must to maintain the original unique taste of your
dessert for a long period.
HIRING EMPLOYEES
Being able to find talented individuals with the right skill set is key for businesses wanting to grow is
just the first step, businesses need to provide a working environment that is desirable in order to
retain talent.
Usually a small business like Cendol needs an individual who is talented and well known the
processes of making the dessert. The major concern for a small businesses in now days is hiring
such employees that can really help out your business to grow and willing to service non-stop, a
long line of customer during lunch break between 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm.
Worse comes to worst when u have such limited funds it’s even harder to compete with the larger
business for the same talent. The key is to motivate them of ‘desire’ to build and grow the business
with you.
Conclusion
Through this assignment, we have undergone various researches and thoughts, which have allowed
us to make certain comparisons which bring to light the similarities and contrasts of both Cendol
shops. Although the Teo Chew Chendul and Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi stall both sell
Cendols, they have fundamental differences, which leads to a different level of success. Through
our analysis and interviews we have concluded that the more successful business is the business
ran by Teo Chew Chendul.
The reason we have come to such an insightful conclusion is because Teo Chew Chendul actually
sell his franchise to others, which help to promote his name. What actually happen which is Teo
Chew Chendul can sell up to 1000bowl of Chendul per day. The location of the businesses adds on
to the factors that affect our conclusion. The location of Teo Chew Chendul is far more popular
than the location Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi. In fact, Penang Famous Road is also a tourist
attraction, which will also bring most tourists to it.
Although there are many factors involved in determining which shop is more successful, we have
ruled out the minor factors and considered the major factors for our analysis. Therefore, those are
the reasons as to why we have come to the deduction that Teo Chew Chendul is more successful
than Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi.
5.1 Recommendations.
Both the Cendol businesses have much potential to grow and improve. The primary
recommendation suitable for the improvement of Teo Chew Chendul is to have a more sitting area
with roof top for everyone so that they could sit down and enjoy their chendul. Furthermore, there
will be a need to form an organizational structure to manage all the employees. The presence of an
organizational structure can help delegate tasks to the employees according to their individual set
of skills. This will result in greater productivity from the employees. Not just that, with new
franchises placed at different locations, the customer base will eventually increase. With the
surplus of customers, the profit and the reputation of the business will bloom as well.
For Cendol& Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi it need to promote its cendol and have more employees
helping with shaving the ice or even mixing the ingredients because after I observe the situation
over there his worker just taking down orders and cleaning up dirty plates which preparing the
cendol is done by the owner alone. So he needs a trustable worker who can help with the preparing
the cendol and also collect money from the customer. So he could take more orders at a time.
For Both stalls they need to have an electronic device that allow the customer and click and select
what they wanted to less man power is needed and to avoid order mistakes occur to provide an
efficient and fast services.

  • 11. OBSTACLES FACED BY NEW BUSINESS COMPETITION Cendol is one of the most desirable traditional desserts in Malaysia. In addition, Malaysia’s weather benefits from a tropical climate with high temperatures throughout the year. Therefore many Cendol stall could be found almost everywhere especially in Klang where they are often famous in Cendol and as well for Penang where commonly known as the place of food paradise. In addition, it is very challenging to compete to those existing shops some are already around for quite some time as they gain more trust and loyalty from customers. In Oder to overcome this problem, they must either have some unique feature or recipe that seems different from others and make your dessert stand out among the other competitors so that u could attract more customers and to persuade more newcomers. ATTRACTING AND RETAINING CUSTOMERS Small businesses usually find it more difficult to attract and retain customers because they usually don’t have large enough marketing budgets to compete with the advertising spending that other larger business can spend. You need to be creative and strategic enough to attract new customers. Online marketing, search engine optimization and social media are great ways to attract and retain customers especially during the 21st century, if you have a smaller budget. Here’s a key If you are not sure who the members of your target market are and what they like or dislike about your dessert, start by polling your existing customers and consider doing additional market research. QUALITY Usually those businesses that provide normal services of food quality seldom improve their sales or popularity. It’s hard to maintain the original unique taste, as it’s hard to train come of your employees to get the right taste. Therefore it’s a must to maintain the original unique taste of your
  • 12. dessert for a long period. HIRING EMPLOYEES Being able to find talented individuals with the right skill set is key for businesses wanting to grow is just the first step, businesses need to provide a working environment that is desirable in order to retain talent. Usually a small business like Cendol needs an individual who is talented and well known the processes of making the dessert. The major concern for a small businesses in now days is hiring such employees that can really help out your business to grow and willing to service non-stop, a long line of customer during lunch break between 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm. Worse comes to worst when u have such limited funds it’s even harder to compete with the larger business for the same talent. The key is to motivate them of ‘desire’ to build and grow the business with you.
  • 13. Conclusion Through this assignment, we have undergone various researches and thoughts, which have allowed us to make certain comparisons which bring to light the similarities and contrasts of both Cendol shops. Although the Teo Chew Chendul and Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi stall both sell Cendols, they have fundamental differences, which leads to a different level of success. Through our analysis and interviews we have concluded that the more successful business is the business ran by Teo Chew Chendul. The reason we have come to such an insightful conclusion is because Teo Chew Chendul actually sell his franchise to others, which help to promote his name. What actually happen which is Teo Chew Chendul can sell up to 1000bowl of Chendul per day. The location of the businesses adds on to the factors that affect our conclusion. The location of Teo Chew Chendul is far more popular than the location Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi. In fact, Penang Famous Road is also a tourist attraction, which will also bring most tourists to it. Although there are many factors involved in determining which shop is more successful, we have ruled out the minor factors and considered the major factors for our analysis. Therefore, those are the reasons as to why we have come to the deduction that Teo Chew Chendul is more successful than Cendol & Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi.
  • 14. 5.1 Recommendations. Both the Cendol businesses have much potential to grow and improve. The primary recommendation suitable for the improvement of Teo Chew Chendul is to have a more sitting area with roof top for everyone so that they could sit down and enjoy their chendul. Furthermore, there will be a need to form an organizational structure to manage all the employees. The presence of an organizational structure can help delegate tasks to the employees according to their individual set of skills. This will result in greater productivity from the employees. Not just that, with new franchises placed at different locations, the customer base will eventually increase. With the surplus of customers, the profit and the reputation of the business will bloom as well. For Cendol& Rojak Bandar Bukit Tinggi it need to promote its cendol and have more employees helping with shaving the ice or even mixing the ingredients because after I observe the situation over there his worker just taking down orders and cleaning up dirty plates which preparing the cendol is done by the owner alone. So he needs a trustable worker who can help with the preparing the cendol and also collect money from the customer. So he could take more orders at a time. For Both stalls they need to have an electronic device that allow the customer and click and select what they wanted to less man power is needed and to avoid order mistakes occur to provide an efficient and fast services.
