Introduction

 

 

 

VendPays, via vBarista, compresses premium cafe outlets into a 5-sqft. space, serving the finest choice of Italian bean-to-cup coffee and quality hot beverages round the clock. Our coffee is competitively priced at RM5 per cup! We can do this by eliminating the need for staff, high rental and complicated set-up costs. vBarista is your choice for Cafe without Hassle!

What We Do

The Challenge

• Due to the steady increase in demand for quality hot beverages, cafes have mushroomed all over the city.

• The preferred way to invest in the cafe industry is to buy into a franchise leveraging on its good branding, however, this incurs high set up costs and is likely to lower profit.

• Fitting out a cafe is also getting costlier. Should the business fail, salvage value is low as only the movables could be flogged off for money.

• Staffing costs to man the cafe throughout the business operation is a concern, coupled with the shortage in local manpower and impending restriction on foreign labour.

• Getting choice retail space is an expensive affair.

Our Solution

Enter VendPays - we are a startup aiming to deliver high-quality coffee and hot beverages at an incredibly competitive price. Our end-to-end solution enables a hassle-free approach to investing in the booming cafe industry. From machine sourcing to beans, drink ingredients, recipe, set up, maintenance, logistics, warehousing, monitoring and keeping track of sales and stock.

Our Revenue Model

Phase 1: Drinks Sales

In Phase 1, our revenue will come through a RM 4.90 per cup sold. We will further optimise to lower the cost of goods sold and improve efficiency. Marketing spending will also increase as we achieve economies of scale.

Phase 2: Drink Sales & Marketing Collaboration

Once we have deployed 500 more vBaristas, we will move onto Phase 2, where our monetising scheme will include marketing collaborations, e.g. cups advertising and digital wraps promotion. We will also reroll out our cashless QR to enable good engagement with our consumers and instant CRM.

Phase 3: Drink Sales, Market Collaborations, Big Data Play and Licensing/Franchising

When we attain 1 million users or 1,000 vBaristas, we will embark on understanding our consumers and assist them by suggesting complementary products and services, to further derive value and engage with our valued consumers. We will then be looking beyond Malaysia and Singapore to offer franchises to expand vBarista.

Our Market Opportunity

Asian markets currently make up the majority of the world’s fastest-growing coffee markets. The boom in Asia’s coffee market has been driven by a surge in the innovation of coffee products. We intend to tap into the high-end bean-to-cup coffee segments driven by the millennial.

By end of Year 1, we target to yield an average of 500 cups per machine per month, targeting a total of 85,000 cups per month, or RM330,000 sales per month. We aim to achieve profitability by Q3 of 2018, with a combined revenue of RM74 million in next 3 years.
