INTRODUCTION
Mr. Raymond wants to build a business but he cannot decide on what business to do. He is considering two ideas which coffee shop and massage parlor. First is a coffee shop, this shop may contains coffee and donuts, bread and cakes are included. Along with the building of the structure he also need to include buying i table and chairs, establishing a counter, and making the menu and a bookshelf with books and magazine for the waiting customer when their order are still on process. He can install some sounds and lightning for the comfort of the customer. He also needs to make a qualification guide for the manpower for the shop and a server to serve the customer. It also needs a technology, in short, a coffee maker that can make the job easier and more convenient for the employee. This kind of business usually resides near the office or school because this shop is usually because those students and office staff usually refresh their mind by drinking some coffee. This shop can also serve as a study place for the student who wants to go outside of their school. Second is the massage parlor, this shop may include the manicure, pedicure and spa which may help the customer to feel the comfort to their body. The structure of this business should look colorful or designed with a fresh color and also the tools like a spa machine and pedicure set will be provided and also waiting area for all the customers. Just like the coffee shop this also need a manpower and a technology which make the shop more convenient. The targeted customer of this business are those who work in an office and those person who need some break from the overloaded work of them. This type of business usually resides near some hotel or inside the mall so that it may attract customer to have their body massage or clean their nails if they wanted to.
