There are 3 other Food Lover's Eateries in the Cape Town CBD selling 10 000 to 15 000 meals a day between them.

He learned from a quick visit to the barangay hall that there were around 40,000 people living in the area. However, he wants to cater specifically to the "gamer" segment made up of mostly male high school and college students, plus young adults with a lot of free time on their hands. To help him calculate for the potential number of gamers/customers, he went around the barangay, visiting the schools and the existing computer shops. After one day of just walking around and asking a few questions with the right people, he gathered the following information. There were three schools in San Vicente: one all-boys Catholic high school with 400 students, ane public elementary with around 2,000 students, and one public high school with nearly 1,000 students. • There were 11 computer shops in the barangay, all of…arrow_forward
