Jared O'Kelley proposes to do a market analysis and sales report of the coffee shop at Creekview High School for his senior project. He will track the types of drinks sold each month and how weather and time of year impact sales. Jared will analyze the data to determine which ingredients the coffee shop should order each month to increase efficiency. He will also make arguments to the administrators about keeping the shop open later. For his presentation, Jared will create graphs comparing the shop's monthly earnings. He estimates the project will cost a few hundred dollars and will connect his project to a future career in business marketing.

1) Describe the overall topic of your Senior Project.
- Marketing the coffee shop. I wanted to do a market analysis of the sales of the coffee shop
in terms of what types of drinks they sell per month. I would take into effect the weather,
time of year, and ingredients of the drinks. After I take all the data into effect, I will be able
to help the coffee shop determine which ingredients they should buy per month in order
to increase overall efficiency. I will also be able to propose an argument to convince the
school administrators why the shop should stay open until 10:00AM instead of 8:20AM.
2) What is your previous experience in this area of study?
- During my freshman year of high school I took an elective called Business Essentials. This
elective taught me the overall factors of production that businesses need to succeed.

knowing what ingredients to order and when.

drinks sold in relation to the weather for that specific day as well as the time of year
(temperature).
